Hi all, common thing with these clocks that they tend not to work half the time followed the clock fix for z32 and for some reason my clocks pcb is different to the one on the guide. Any ideas chaps? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I bought my first z last week, so don't know that much about the running gear. It's developed a vibrating from the rear of the car dependant on the speed. It's pronounced at 40mph and doesn't stop when the clutch is dipped. I had the wheels balanced, and swapped the wheels over as there was an 8j and a 9j on the rear axel. Then bought new tyres. The problem is now worse than before, maybe because of more grip? I haven't checked the brakes yet for binding but is there anything else I should check? Cheers

I had planned on doing the subframe and Differential carrier bushes myself, but the car is quite unpleasant to drive at the moment as all 8 of those bushes are fecked. I don't have the time to do them DIY so will need to get them done at a garage (I have a choice of 3 that are local with good reps). What kind of time frame will I be looking at? (Original collars don't need saving as Whiteline bushes include outter collar). Price isn't an issue, but time is.

Before i start i have checked the search on here and no found what i was looking for maybe because in using my phone i don't know but.. I have recently purchased a speedo converter to mph from sva car parts who i have delt with on 2 other occasions for jap hondas so i know they work well however when fitting this one its designed to fit inline on the loom before the plug to the speedo and their instructions on this arnt very good so being the fearless car enthusiast and the fact ive done it before took the plunge to try and unscramble thier instructions along with good old common sense and a multimeter fitted it all up then did the long job of putting it all tidy and p…

OK so I had my car back since Saturday - it's been running OK This evening I took the missus to he Zumba class about 2 miles away. Just before I got there I heard this noice which I had not heard before like a fan blowing (thought my heater fans were on at first but they were not as it sounded like a noisy heater fan) Anyway I dropped her the wife off and ran the two miles or so back home - car running OK but after a mile started making a bit of an odd noise through the exhausts when coasting to junctions etc which I find very difficult to describe. Got to roundabout half a mile away and as I pulled off thought I saw smoke at side of and behind the car …

So as to not to spam, we mentioned cutting out the inner wing to loose some grms and allow spawned for something else, a more extreme version of this maybe?? http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2306066/Exact-Motorsports-Z32-TT-is-alive.html

Hi.guys any one know what's the length of Rear Perspex Strip is cheers ted

Weird thing, but I have two sets of front discs, old and new- The new ones were used for about a year on my NA (with TT brake conversion), but the hub on my transplant car isn't as deep, if you know what I mean, as the disc rubs against the inside of caliper, the the wheel jams against the caliper once bolted up. The disc depths are different sizes - 24mm 29mm I guess they changed the hub dimensions between 1990 and 1992. So, I plan to put a 5mm spacer between the hub and the disc, does this sound ok, or a bad idea?

Hi Does anyone know what exactly the function of the check valve assmbly , connected to the fuel line and located on the underside of the car is for? I´m guessing on a RHD car it is located in the same place as on a LHD car so for a RHD car on the underside between passenger seat and rear wheel arch. (SWB!) The assembly Looks like this: It´s been causing me Problems and getting a replacement is proving impossible , so I was wondering if it was just a cut off valve incase I flip the car and can I get rid of it, or does it serve some other purpose. As always, any help greatly appreciated. Maz

I've had this problem for quite a long time - it only happens occasionally but somethimes you get in the car, turn the key, ignition comes on..... then turn to start and all the lights on the dash go out. Nothing else happens Now when I have had this problem I tend to go through a sequence of getting out of the car, locking the doors, wait a little bit, unlock and repeat the procedure until eventually it works Now today I got back from the gym and had to park on the opposite side of the road while i moved my van. I didn't lock the car. When i tried to start it It would not (as described in the first paragraph) I went through all the usual proceedure, get…

Need some help, my electric fan is wired through a thermostat to a permanent live. So on a hot day it keeps spinning long after the engines switched off. Not to bad of a thing for engine bay temps but bad news for the odessey battery. Just got a new 1 on so don't want it killing everything I switch off the car. So, what I need, is best place fir an ignition live under the bonnet, and is there a switch I can buy so I can override on really hot days, but not 1 that if I forget to switch, fan won't come on. Know there's been loads of threads on viscous vs electric fans, not interested in any of that. So any advice welcome. Cheers Danny

Does anyone know how the powerband will be affected with an air intake restriction for less hp? Less air, less hp, but how will this show on a dyno graph?

I'd just like to let you all know I actually have my car back on the road again!! I'm sure many of you are familiar with the issues I have had for many months. That's the first time she's been on the road at all since October and the first time she has run properly since the engine swap last May In fact I will go as far as to say it's the first time the car has ever run and handled anything like properly since I bought her in 2011 Lots and lots to say but the main things I guess are Fitted 'Yellow Jacket' coil packs Fitted the GTX2860r turbos :w00t: Fitted 600cc Injectors from PFI in Canada - and they are Red yyayy!! :devil: Fitted the Zeta-R co…

Hi guys I bought my tt manual from a chap I gillingham last October drove it flawless 10 hours back to Aberdeen...emotional drive! The guy I bought it off didn't really know much about it either. There is a lot of modifications on it and I was hoping someone on the forum would know the previous owner apparently used to be on the forums a lot. The car Ecu is chipped and has a yellow sticker over it saying z32.m440 does anyone know what this means or who makes the chip? Cheers Ryan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I decided it was finally time to change my leaky rocker cover gasket, all was well till i put everything back together and now it running like crap. it bearly revs sounds like its misfireing as well. will take it apart tomorrow and retrace my steps and see where ive gone wrong.

Has anyone on here fitted one? Decided to fit it today but it's fighting all the way, looks like it won't fit with my exhuast or with rear tow eyes in place? Any got any advice before I start cutting?

In brief, I have a Dell laptop with a 15 pin female serial connection socket. My Data Scan cable has a 9 pin female serial connection socket. My question is, how do I adapt the two without affecting the software function? Can I use an adaptor of some sort? If possible, I would prefer to remove the existing 9 pin female socket from the cable and re wire it to a 15 pin male connector. Is this possible? If so, would anyone know the correct pin wiring please?
