General Discussions - 300ZX Related

I've just swapped my very ropey Cosworth for a ropey UK 300 TT, manual lol. I preferred the zx's much more modern looks and felt that I'd rather spend money on the z than on the Cossy. Bit about meself - owned a fair performance bikes n cars -Porsche 944, Porsche 911 Carrera, Sapphire Cosworth, Impreza WRX, 300zx , Honda Fireblade, GSXR750WT, ZX9R (which put me in hospital for 1 month!)....plus loads of hot hatches. I'm 28 btw. Anyway, enough of me bragging , the z i've just got won't idle evenly, it'll hunt between 1500-2000 revs.....I haven't chance to boot it yet as I want to sort this idling problem out. Any suggestions where to start looking would b…

Hello, I am soon going to be buying one of these awesome cars and joining your excellent club as I have seen you at JAE for the last two years and was wandering what to look out for in a potential buy as I dno't want to buy a knacker. I will be buying a UK spec manual targa with leather.

OK boys and girls. Up until today, I thought my baby was sold and actually felt quite relieved when I got the message that the prospective buyer couldn't afford it but the fact remains that I need the cash. It's an UK, Manual, Arctic White, 1991, 2+2. I am looking for £6400. If you are interested, please mail me on cos.theo@mailcity.com and I will mail you complete low down on the car.

Can anybody tell me how to do this? I've no idea where the idle screw is, and i need to drop the idle revs by about 200. Cheers Ian

How’s this for an example of Nissan’s customer service. My car had been off the road for 3 years and following an engine swap had a misfire despite fitting a new PTU. In the end I had to fit a new wiring loom and ’coz the plenum chamber was off, decided to have the injectors cleaned at the same time. While they were away I ordered new o-rings for them from my local dealer. When they arrived they were in packs of 5 which meant I needed 2 packs which came to around £23. (as it happened I didn’t even need them!) I felt that selling parts for a 6 cylinder car in packs of 5 was a deliberate attempt to overcharge for an already overpriced part so I logged a compla…

Been collecting the songs for the album The Gift Of Game by Crazy Town but cant find the outro. Can some one please tell me they have it and are willing to email it to me, it would really be appreciated. Then I can get this cd burnt.

Hi all, After a bit or research I am thinking of buying a TT in the next few months. Although I'll have enough to buy the car and insure it etc, I won't have much left to fix anything that goes wrong. I have heard a few horror stories about running costs, and servicing bills so I want an honest lowdown on the car. If I take my time and find a good one within a budget of 6.5-7k, am I likely to be caught out? Cheers Alex.

Need help again [bloody good job you are here]sometimes i get smoke from under the bonnet just in front of the driver! When i open bonnet it seems to be coming from the dip stick area but checked this and all ok!!!!! any help on this matter would be helpful cheers Dave

Okay posted about steering being heavy, car sluggish, gear changes erratic and power light coming on now and again even without driving hard...have been told it points to either speed sensor or MPH conversion ( mine is a 90 TT Jap import with conversion 180mph clock)...now then who supplies and fits these and Im in the East Midlands area and how much? Is there a way to test it and is there any spec info/pics on the plugs for speed sensor or conversion kit anywhere so I kno what to look for. Say this cos the garage guy who fitted my new rack bushes said there was a wire hanging loose under the car and he couldnt see where it went..since then steering has been erratic and h…

Just out of interest, the documentation says that the manual cars have a neutral position sensor on the gearbox. Does anyone know what the purpose of this sensor is? I have noticed that when you put the car in gear, the revs do raise slightly. However, if this is all it does, what's the bloody point?! Just to satisfy my curiosity that's all. Cheers

My reversing lights seem to have packed up, the buld are ok, is there a fuse or switch in the (manual) gearbox I can check ? Mike

Could someone put 50p in the General Forum meter please. Ta.

Hi all Got a "quick" ISP question for any computer people. I have my own domain name which my current ISP forwards mail destined for this address to my ISP's mail account. I'm changing to ADSL which is very uncompetitive with my current ISP so I was considering Demon. However, they want a packet to add mail forwarding to my new account! What I was thinking of doing was using Demon for my ADSL link to the Internet and a third party e-mail solutions company to receive emails sent to my domain. I could then POP3 into the third party's servers or have them "mail forward" the items to my Demon account. Another advantage being that many also implement spam filter…

Jeff, Can you drop me a mail regarding the mats that I bought from Andy a while ago...keep meaning to arrange with you to come and pick them up... mailto:aj_lkt@hotmail.com cheers Anita.

Or rather not! what's the easiest way to get at the fecking horn?! Do I really have to take the nose cone off?!? Going to need an understanding friend with a ramp by the sounds of it!

vague post this one, at Billing on sunday there was a very nice dark blue ZX TT parked with a dark grey one not near us. Just a handful of them on the other side of the park. It had a really really nice and very subtle new front spolier and bumper.. air outlets on either side but without the huge intake in the middle.. looked very close to the standard one. Can't find it on Z Centre, and me being a twat forgot to take a picture of it! Duh! anybody have any idea which one I might be on about?!

Okay power steering is still heavy..had Energy Suspension bushes fitted and this is when symptons started to show. Steering is fine one minute..heavy next. Mechanic spotted a wire "hanging" and going nowhere when he fitted bushes. Now whether he's knocked something off and cant put it back cos he's stupid I have no idea...but I've heard that the speed sensor can cause havoc with steering. Is this true? Thanks guys.

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the wife asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the husband replied, "in-laws." Leigh
