Into day 3 having my own Z and the Bonnet Release cable has snapped, or so I guess as it has gone limp at the release handle and no amount of twisting and pulling and shoving or so called secret tips with "masonic" like nudges etc.. will get the bonnet open. Has this happened to anyone else before and if so how the devil to I get my bonnet open? My other car is a BMW535, 2 years old and I have only ever opened the bonnet a couple of times to top up the windscreen washer bottle. If things carry on like this I may as well take up residence outside in the garage!

I have the full set and in the instructions it says that if any of the old bushes have a steel shell around them leave it in but scrape any traces of the old rubber off it before fitting the polybush. But im sure some people here said that they cut this shell out with a hacksaw blade so im not sure which method to go for.. Paul

How about silent hill 2?

Having only had my Z32TT for a couple of days I can no longer take the irritating "binging" sound from the dashboard when I exceed 105KM/H. Anyone one know how to kill the blighter?? Simon TT

Anyone know a good place to get auto stickers e.g blitz stickers, nissan stickers etc? Also the original underbonnet factory stickers.

Today was always going to be one to remember,the weather the lost winning lottery ticket to name just two, but was totally bowled over to receive a request for help from my local Nissan garage!!! The mechanic had seen me exiting the parts dept. and shouted over. They had a Uk TT and had given up on trying to get the brakes operating correctly after 4xdisc, pads and fluid change.With an extreamly low pedal action added to a poor feedback?Having asked the obvious about the work they had done I mentioned the bleeding proceedure and when I mentioned the abs unit had a seperate bleed screw on it he went kind of red well very red in fact.Then he went to the front of the car in …

One for the imports here, the extra brake light in the spoiler has little or no reflective material in and as a consequence the light output is low compared to modern units.However with a little patience and some chrome film (yes it appears again) a very effective cure can be made.The look of the finished unit is much brighter looking into it and the light output is at least double if not more.As the same idea is bound to work with the rest of the rear lights I will do them later this week and show the results.

Right, I've got some spare dosh (wifes stopped buying £150 nails and haircuts) if I decide to go for a rebuild, UK Auto 100K, who should I go too. Bearing in mind I'm in Surrey its looks like SE or does anybody know of work done by Abbey Motorsport (Skylark specialists) I'm sure I remember someone going there for the same? Any rough guides on cost with turbos!!

Hi folks, Still patiently looking for a car and was wondering if anyone has experience of ordering a car to their specification from Japan. Also, I've been thinking about using a company called NEWERA http://www.neweraimports.com/ to do it, they say they have lots of happy customers. Anyone know anything of 'em? Gotta run, -Stu

Any body know where I can obtain a set of replacemnt headlamp units for 300ZX 1990? Please help!

....a silver Z tonight whilst on the way home from work in the area of Stretton. It was at 5.50pm on the A61 and it was heading towards Chesterfield. Was this you?

i've seen an auto import late 90 for sale in Newquay area, Cornwall. Anyone prepared to help check it out for all those lovely faults you spend so much time chatting about on forum. This would be my first Z. I would really appreciate the help.

It never seems to stop. Having sorted my idling problems over the weekend (it was the TPS, thanks guys :-)) now the ICE (standard system supplied with car) is playing up. The situation is as follows, it powers on but you have to turn it up full volume it hear anything and even then it's barely audible. Any ideas or do I just rip it out and put something else in ?

I have a major leak on an air pipe & just wondering if anyone knows which pipes usually break or split? I've taken intercoolers out & checked pipes too & from engine but they're OK. Could be a pipe going from turbo to filter box though but I can't get to the bugger! I was overtaken by a Rover metro today, wasn't impressed with me Z at all!!!!

...for giving up his Saturday to spend the day inside a Zed fitting Traction Control. Thanks Andy! Cheers Ajay.

There is a god that goes by the name of Andy. Not content with amazing me with the standard of work to fix the power steering system, you pull a blinder and sort the idle/ boost gauge problem that's being naffing me off for ages. Would love to share with everyone how you managed to fix but no a clue - the work of a genius. To say you made my day is a gross understatement. If I can ever offer first hand recommendations on your work please let me know. Mark

Hello all, My Z is down on power and I was wondering if anyone could help. I have timed the car from 0-100mph using a stopwatch and it took 21seconds! (it's a 1992 UK T.T auto). I have checked the coil pack connectors, replaced the temperature sensor and run an ECU diagnostic which showed up an all clear. The car is idling and running fine other than that. Please someone help, I'm going off my nut! Thanks for any help, Brian

For helping me loose my virginity! I've never experienced a doughnut before and you did one in style, unfortunately the 'fuzz' got in the way and cut us short!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone else for not ignoring me (being a woman and all that), all I need now is my own Z, please Mr Turbo........ Thanks again Rob and hope the rot has cured itself!
