Hiya All Spoke to the company doing my engine refit this morning, they hope to put in the new engine tomorrow and road test it on thursday, it's taken a little longer than expected as thev'e replaced my knock sensor and some wiring and some pipe work, so with any luck should have me Z back for early next week. We finally solved the mystery of why it went tits up, a bolt from the tensioner had sheared causing the cambelt to snap, this in turn fooked up the engine big style Never mind it's only money. BTW is anybody else going to use API, simon from there said he's had some enquiries from people from the forum?? Regards JOHN

I was sitting in traffic today. As soon as I put the air con on the engine switched off. I restarted the car and it worked fine until I put the air con on again. Was all that abou?. It won't stop doing this now. When the engine cuts out it makes a loud hissing noise and when the sir con goes on there is a slight humming noise... Any ideas?

Hi All Does anyone know of anyone in the London area who are able to do light paint work or possibly full resprays on a Zed, and dont charge through the roof? CheerZ

What do you guys think?

Bought the car in November, had some oil leaks so took it to SE. Turned out the engine had major problems. Complete engine rebuild, and new 360 turbos fitted £4855. Three and a half months later and the car is ready for collection. Two days later and the auto box craps out. Car off the road for another two weeks. Bought a replacement box and back to SE for fitting. A week later and the car was ready. The following day I noticed a puff of blue smoke coming from the exhaust every time I came to a stop, I hoped that this was just things settling down after the rebuild but yesterday the blue smoke seed to be getting worse. This morning I went out to investigate, let the car…

Can anyone recommend a good baby seat for the Z. Mine is a UK so I dont have the lap seatbelts.

Matty, Getting a bit concerned now - 3 times you've promised me money for the Traction Control and 3 times nothing has appeared. Can you contact me on 07951 054843 urgently to discuss this please. Thanks Ajay.

Just an idea, but what about a meet at Silverstone circuit? The F1 teams are testing, on the following dates, there is no guarantee of who will be there but a mate went a couple of years ago and ended up sitting in a Ferrari and chatting with David Couthard amongst others! Wanted to gauge interest, the dates are: April 16, 17, 18, 30 May 1, 28, 29, 30 August 20, 21, 22 Septe…

I have a problem with the manual transmission in my 1992 300ZX n/a. When the car is off, it shifts into the gears fine. When I put the car in neutral and turn it on, I am not able to shift into any other gear. When the car is off, and I try to start it up in a gear (1st), the car wants to move forward by itself even though the clutch is pushed in all the way. Any help or comments would be great. Thanks, Nick 1992 300ZX N/A ------------------ 1992 300ZX N/A

anybody help . Ive got me blink codes but can anybody tell me what Ive got to do to put it in that mode cause I aint got a clue. At low revs it coughs an runs a bit rough, and would it have anything to do with the temp gauge which goes erratic at the same time. But it could just be another fault.
