i noticed my car was revving high at idle most times about 1000rpm to 1500rpm sometimes it would settle and on tick over it would be ok then rev slightly higher again i had a mechanic have a look he cleaned the throttle bodies and the idle speed seemed ok until he test drove the car he noticed at 30mph in 4th gear the car didnt feel smooth and suggested the cold start valve might be at fault does this sound right and where is the valve? how much ? and is it easy to fit? thanks in advance mark

Hi, Replacing a door mirror on my Z,the one I am replacing has heated mirrors but the shell has been glued where it is broken. The one I am replacing it with has no heated mirrors,can I transfer the guts so that it will heat up? Also got to paint it Nissan Pearlescent white, anybody know where I can get a can of this from. Also what's the correct procedure for rubbing down and spraying this mirror, do I have to apply lacquer? Cheers Mark

Hi, Just got given a Nokia 9110 today with a couple of problems. It needs a new battery for starters but I don't know if the second is connected to the battery problem.

im asking an old question here? ive checked all my vaccum related pipes and tightened where posible,but still i have this gurgle im pretty sure its not the aiv,but not 100% could my sound which is coming from the back of the engine(rail) be something to do with the fueling(it sound like water running down a plug) the sound is only "whilst accelerating" and it stops when im not,also it stops while the car is stood still. this is totally doing my head in please help come-on you guys someone must have an idea or guess????/ jaylox

Bought myself a camcorder. I have always wanted one. Made this very small clip of my Z. I am getting better at the editing, but I have trouble making the files small enough. Its 7mb for 1:07s. What you think? http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/srrae/mynissan300.avi Hoping to make some really good vids for upload and to put on CD's. Stuart

Hi everyone, I'm having a really weird problem starting the car - when I turn the ignition to start the car, the engine won't turn (I can't hear the starter motor chugging) and everything switches on and off really quickly. Theres a sortof clicking sound as the stereo and avc-r and everything electrical switches on and off. Any ideas where to start looking? I'll get this bloody thing working if it's the last thing I ever do! Cheers, John

Have any u guys got an idea how I can get to the back of my odometer?? Don't wanna do anything illegal (well, I do but better not risk it!) its just that it's stopped working.... it wants to tick over to 89000 miles but has got stuck at 88999 and has also stopped the trip mileage thing from working too. Is this a major arse about job or a piece of piss????? Any ideas gratefully received y'all. Cheers Steve

How many of these are there??? I thought I would only need the one, but there are apparently two....A little clarification ?

momo racer alloys 17inch with brand new tyres --mint condition standard alloys with brand new tyres also mint condition

Wow. If you think Z soares are pricey, read on. My Triumph Sprint 900 bike needs 2 new front discs. £140 EACH!! FFS. Sense of homour failure, or what!

Hi, Thought I would let you all know of someone on ebay selling the older type front and rear strut bars, both together for $80 and $40 mailing to the UK. A word of warning these are the type that courtesey say can rub on the hood insulation on some cars and you might have to move an aircon bracket as well. It seems like the guy might be up for marking them as a gift! I have asked him about group buys but he says that he can't offer them any lower, and 20 FSTB's wouldn't really avoid the customs attention!Then UK postage on top would negate any benefits! Will give you the guys email address as soon as I can did it out! Mark

Hi all, Excuse my ignorance - but is it possible to convert an auto to manual?? Recent posts hint that it is...what's involved?? I think if my Auto box ever dies I'd prefer to switch to man - which would be cheaper, recon Auto or convert to manual?? Cheers! RobH

Hi All, My brakes make loud metallic clunking noises when applied at v.low speed when cold (particularly when reversing) - not noticed if this happens when warm. Is this normal Z behaviour with standard calipers/rotors?? I don't half get some funny looks in the morning... TIA! RobH

if you want in on a fishing lake ive just got(carp,bream,roach-double figures)not the roach of course then get in touch.jay

Even though I was financially savaged by my last ZX (UK supplied TT), I'm after another.... I'm looking for auto Nissan ZX300 non turbo, if you have one for sale or know where there is a decent one, reply to this post and I'll drop you a line. In a perfect world it'll be immaculate, low mileage, have history, be either silver or black and... (dare I say) have been owned or recommended by someone from the forum.....

Just put my 91' 300zx TT through an MOT! Failed on N/S steering rack gator and handbrake adjustment! Not bad i think!!!! BUT! can anyone send me instructions on how to do the above before i delv into an oily darkness!!!
