Just to give you an update on my dead Zed. Its been with SE for the last 4 weeks. They managed to start it 2 weeks ago, indicating the PTU and CAS are ok. They switched it off, went to start it again, turns over won't start again, the engine is flooded again. They reckon it might be the ECU, so beginning of last week, they said they are gonna try another ecu. Each day they assure me the car is gonna be looked at that day..each day comes..each day goes..nothing..I keep getting pushed back to the end of the appointment queue, I mean how long does it take to swap an ecu over?? Now they assure me is gonna be looked at tomorrow. Cor I could of built a zed from the floor up i…

Just behind the fan there's a silver pipe that runs lengthways. It houses the temparature sensors for the dashboard, the ecu, and there's a third. The first two are on the same mount (yellow block with a black and a yellow/green wire). It's the third sensor, and blue-headed wire on its own, just to the right of the double-headed one. Can anyone please tell me what this third sensor is for, and a part number if you know it - I'm getting code 13 from the ECU, have replaced the yellow-block sensor, but am having same problem... Thanks a lot...

Hi all, I'm just about to buy a Z, and I mean just about (should pick it up this week) and I’m interested to know the service intervals? I've been told many different things by many different people, some say 3000 for an oil change others say 6000, one magazine I read actually said every 9000 which seems a bit high for my liking, could someone please tell me the truth????

Why do cops love pulling over someone in a zx? got pulled over as they said my fog lights are on just bought the car and had the lights taken off as they come on with the normal lights, also why are the normal lightd so bad at night? can something be be done about that, are these running lights or not? These are the lights direclty at the bottom level at the front. does anyone know? cheers rob

Cannot work this one out? its a twin turbo just had O2 sensor replaced, the car is still when starting from cold reving up to 1500 then down, sometimes staling, is this just beacuse the engine is cold? if the air is on or the heater it dosen't stall. Does anyone now what is going on? oil pressure is good everthing seems to be running fine. Please can anyone help me with this. cheers rob

Hello peps, I was surfing today looking for something completely different but come across these web sites and thought some of you might like to browse over the information presented. The turbo calculator is 'interesting'. http://www.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=turbo.htm&url=http://www.turbofast.com.au/tfcalc.html http://www.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=turbo.htm&url=http://www.quancon.com/~gdrane/turbosys.html cheers.

I need fullset of Leather interior for my 300zx TT 1990 / also a nice set of wheels can you help me.Cash waiting.

OK, I know brakes have been discussed here before, but what really is the best value brake upgrade around? I'm looking for something that will slow the car down effectively rather than mushing around slightly and letting the car in front slow you down) without costing an arm and a leg. Just got my Zed back, and I could swear my fiancee's Pug 106 brakes better (and that's shite). I'd like to keep the insurance people happy - does a disk upgrade count as a performance enhancement or a safety upgrade? I'm planning to put a Jap spec brake light in the spoiler too. Any advice greatly appreciated. James.

Finally bothered to add my car to the rides section if anyone wants a look. Still pretty standard at the mo.

My 300ZX has a problem: code 13 on the ECU readout - temperature sensor. I don't have the time to get this fixed (I can't get it over to ZCentre in Nottingham, or up to Hiteq in Wigan), so have decided to sell cheap to someone who'll have the time to do the necessary repairs. (The piece needing replacement is apparently only thirty GBP.) The back bumper also needs dipping, and a touch-up around the keyhole is advised (all-in quoted at 130 GBP) The dials on the speedo need changing too (kinked in the sun!) Other than the above, this car is absolutely immaculate - brought into UK as a genuine grade 5. - original targa covers, toolkit etc. SPEC: …

Everyday I search the ads and everyday I am dissapointed, Im located in Essex but am willing to travel to get my hands on one of these beasts Thankyou
