Brought my car about 6 months ago (Jap import), and thought it was a bit strange that the speedo only had 120 mph on the clock. The other day i was clocked doing 140 mph and my speedo said 110 mph ( Hope theres no police reading this). The clock dial is the right shape and color to match my rev counter. So what the hecks going on, and what do i need to do. Have i got ot buy a new speedo or can someone sort it. Yours not knowing what speed Im doing Dave..........

Ok lads and ladesses, bear with me on this one. Last year, before I found the fount of all wisdom that is this forum, Mr Mandela told me my exhaust was blowing and needed a new bit. OK, I said, fix it. (yeah, OK but please remember that the most complicated exhaust I had ever paid for before with my own money was probably the one on my MG Midget) Now I find that the bit replaced was only the centre section ("Centre exhaust tube assembly" on page FE-4 of the manual). Now I find my rear mufflers need replacing as well. What should I do? 1) find someone else who has standard rear mufflers surplus to requirements and throw beer at them (thanks for the tip …

I have never had a auto box before.What dose o/d do is it just for overtakeing,and there is also a button that says power or sport.Is it like the back to the future film? .Do I need to be going under a clock in a lighting storm before i can press it.thanks dean

Just did a comp test. Drivers side bank came out as 11.2;11.5;11.2 Bar. Pretty consistent. Passenger side was 10.6; 10.6 10.8. Again pretty consistent. The minimum value in the manual is 9.81 so all cylinders are within tolerance. But why the differnce between each bank? And are these figures really acceptable or should I be looking at new rings/pistons?

Hi folks, When I'm doing over about 60mph and go to stick her in 5th she ain't happy about it! This gets worse the faster I am driving. If I move the gearstick slowly then it's OK but if not it makes that grindy crunch noise. It's not the end of the world or anything, just wondering what it might be... Ta, -Stu

http://bitch.bettahavemymoney.com/stuff/prison.html lol mine is slick dick

...me, again!!! Right let's talk about tyres and stock Z alloys shall we? Because my rears were slicks about a month ago I had some cheap and shitty Marshalls fitted on the back. Reason? Coz I've got 18's on order for when the car goes in to PPS so bugger all point in putting Bridgestones on! So all is fine, until about a week ago. I was driving back to de Wales...Aiiiiiiiiiiiii...from darn sarf and noticed some nastey wheel wobble starting to develop through the stearing wheel. Carried on driving around, anyway, yesterday I came back down to work(270 mile journey) and fuck me! I thought the stearing rack and the front wheels were gonna drop off on…

So who's up for it then........LOL! LUKE DUKESTER

My drivers side, front side light is'nt working, so i opened it up and checked the bulb,looked ok. Then i thought i'd pull the bulb out of the socket to check it...mistake.It stayed connected on one terminal to a white stringy thing, but on the other side of the bulb it was just a prongy bit of metal stickin' out. Have I bust it? Is there a separate fuse for it? I THANGYOU!

At start up it idles lumpy, almost cuts out then you hear fuel pump buzz and revs pick up again for a few seconds, any touch of gas makes the engine die. After starting about 20 times it suddenly fires up perfect and revs cleanly, and drives with no problem.This happens when hot or cold. Did ecu check- code 55 tried different coolant sensor and PTU. checked resistance of TPS Cleaned the connections Still No F*****g good Paul

Have just visited the Aus forum and caught a glimpse of a thread regarding early Z32's (i.e., 1989 model) suffering from something called soft valves. Aparently this particular problem was rectified in the 1990 production run. However, does anyone here know what this problem is all about, how to diagnose it (i.e., symptoms) and what to do about it. Many thanks, Danny

I have a 300zx N/A 1990 US model driven 160,000 miles,I am thinking if i can make it a tt if i buy a used tt engine and everything that i need,how mutch would it cost and do you know where i can buy it from,Thanks in advange. ps sorry aboute my english, it is not so good.
