Holidays this year in kerry with my 2 Z's http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/royztt/kerry2.jpg

I have to take the new car in for an MOT/get any problems fixed on tuesday with the dealer. I have noticed whilst driving slow (could not help it got stuck in traffic!) at around 30-40 mph with about 1500 - 2000 revs the car feels slightly juddery (its an auto in normal mode by the way) - almost as if its in the wrong gear, a bit like close to stalling in a manual. It seems to occur after i take my foot off the acceleartor and I let the car slow down. Accelerate a bit and it goes away, slow down any more and it goes away too. Is this serious or perhaps the ECU needs resetting? - i have not done it since i got the car a week ago. Does the ECU learn/programme it s…

Hi Does anyone know how to stop my window going down to far? Is there a sensor or something?

does anyone know if these are the connectors? http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/vijay/passenger.jpg http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/vijay/drivers.jpg If so, am I right in saying they should not be connected as I have an avcr boost controller? What are the effects of having a boost controller fitted and still having the solenoids connected? Cheers Vijay

Hi, I noticed the quad exhaust outlets on the back of my car look a bit manky. I cant afford new stainless steel exhausts at the mo after just buying the car. So i was wondering about some stainless exhaust trims, saw some in a magazine. They just seem to clamp on to the existing exhaust. What are peoples opinons on them? Good/Bad - why? Thanks Barry

Two years ago my local nissan dealer replaced my Water pump on my 1994 SWB 300ZXTT for £370 Today I am getting the same job done on my 91 UK spec Z and Was quoted £750 the only difference being he is also doing the timing belt this time around. Sounds like quite a difference to Me . Any one know the cost of this job from a maindealer or do they just snatch figures from the air when they see a Z.????

I understand that you are selling just the car that I am looking for. Please e-mail me some details to parts@tmstvr.co.uk.

And is my zx broken? or is it normally to get totally smoked off the road by an R plate BMW M3?! How demoralising! must tweak... tune.. upgrade!

I am hoping to have a look at a Z on Sunday or Monday in Greyshott near Guildford. I was going to get it checked over by the AA before purchasing it but would rather get someone who knows Z's to have a look. If you live out that way or are able to help out, please let me know ASAP. There is some cash available!!

When does the ECU check the detonation sensor circuit for error code 34. Sometimes I get it, sometimes not so I need to known if the "not" times are a red herring

You know the set of warning lights that come on when you switch the ignition on, go off when you start the engine? Well, my orange one (picture of an engine, maybe?) doesn't come on any more... I don't have an owner's manual so I can't check what (if anything) it means. Or is it possible that it's just a bad connection or something? I was faffing about with RapBoy under the bonnet & around the ECU, and it was after that that it stopped coming on :'( Also, an aside on speed restrictors: How are they usually delimited if you don't have a speedo conversion? I have kmph clocks, but I'm not hitting a limit at 112mph. What got me thinking about this was that…

Help! I am begining to feel like there was no UK manuals made! I do need one before I go bald through pulling out all my hair!!!!!!

Hi all, dont know if this has been mentioed before, but this months top gear mag has a good 6 page review of the 350Z, seems to have passed there test, only complaint I can remember was the laughable attempts at creating storage space. I'd get one....if I had the £££
