I have a 95 Toyota Supra for sale, its worth 10k easy and the end result is to purchase a 300zx TT manual or auto, e-mail for more details if you fancy it.

As you are all aware, or should be aware, comments were posted recently which resulted in a thread that was very detrimental towards TDI plc. In response to those comments TDI plc contacted us, as site owners and administrators, to express their concerns about the posts which, as a business, is perfectly fair and within their rights to do so. Despite our subsequent request no documentary evidence was forthcoming from any of the thread contributors in support of their comments against TDI plc which therefore we can only assume must be completely unsubstantiated. Consequently TDI plc may well have lost business due to the comments made and appear to be the in…

I’m after some help and advice, I’d like to buy a 300zx, not even sure if a Manual or auto is required – does anyone have any info on the differences between (apart from the obvious)- I currently have a 1995 N/A Supra and am looking for a bit more welly (used to have a 3000GTO twin turbo but the insurance was a bit of a farce). I’ve always like the look of them and my mind is made up (gotta rid myself of the Supra first if anyone wants it). So basically I’m after as much info about the cars as possible, i.e. known problems etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Matt [This message has been edited by MattUSM (edited 22-01-2002).]

Hi Guyz, Does anybody have a good picture of the headlight backend, where the bulb inserts. If someone can put it on this thread or send it to my email address they would be great. I am trying to arrange a HID set up from the guy supplying the H3C bulbs I have ordered. He needs the picture to tell wether it can be done or not. Leigh.

It's not in v good condition but its very cheap

The indicators on my car have stopped working. The hazards work fine and the flasher on the indicator stick works fine. I think it may be a fuse issue but am not sure what fuse I need to replace? I could not see a fuse(s) for the indicator under the bonnet in the main box, or have I over looked something?

hi guys, ive recentley noticed that my power light keeps flashing when i start the car, ive counted the number of flashes and i think its 15 times. i know someone else has already posted something about the power light, but after reading it iam still not sure if mine has the same problem as the symptons are different. my speedo still works, but the small odometer (the one which only goes to 9999) displays in kph and not mph. also the stering wheel has gone off centre and slifgtly to the right, the steering seem realy heavy as well. i think it might be the speedo converter is there any way of checking, or if anyone has any other suggestions on what it might …

I've not long since fixed one hesitation problem (which took months to find!) now there's another one! The previous problem was due to the fuel pump voltage regulator being faulty which I replaced & then the car was fine for months. It seems to idle rough at tickover & the power delivery is somewhat uneven but I don't think it's a spark problem cos the engine just cut out the other day as if I'd run out of juice! Has anyone out there had similar problems? Shaun [This message has been edited by shaunmac (edited 22-01-2002).]

2 simple questions: Fuel Pump control box. Where is it? What does it look like? Ta guyz Tim '90 J'spec TT

just been looking at all different types of gauges and noticed most of these air/fuel ratio gauges say they use the standard oxygen or lambda sensor on the car. Does the Z have such a thing or do you need to add it to the exhaust yourself? Paul

Having a look around for some replacement rear tyres and have used the tyre calulator on the ZED workshop disc and discovered my rear tyres are throwing my speedo out.(under-reading) I presently have 255x45x17" fitted and to be as close as damit to the original Nissan rolling diameter I need 285x35x17" My wheels are 10" wide according to the wheel info stamped on the side so should fit ok,in fact always thought the one`s on looked stretched out to the rim edge-ish. Have looked on a couple of sites and had no luck any one know of a supplier for this size? Thanks guys. Jeff TT

Not ignoring you - MSN is throwing a complete wobbler !

No i haven't any, touch wood! But if you get a puncture in a sidewall! I had it before on the Monza, - most places will not fix it rather sell you another tyre, is there anywhere the members reading this can say a place that will fix them, either by the big plug method or vac-melt method. Could be 'andy for us all! harve

Just wanted to know if it's the same bleeding procedure for us/uk cars. I looked on tt.net and it says, left rear, right front, left front, right rear, abs actuator front and last actuator rear. Also is it as simple as pressing the brake pedal with open bleed nipples to empty "all" the old brake fluid? and then do I have to flush it out with anything or is it just put new fluid in? Cheers Vijay

I've got-um, But! im havin' a bit of a dilema,. (funny bit) No-one in MK would fit them, not even get the wheels out of the boxes, "they said they can't trust the man on the machine, he might scuff them" - Ok thanks for being honnest i said. Went to 'Prestiege' who customise & referb' alloys daily "no probs" - the bloke even cleaned down the machine & put boot covers on the tyre fitting machine All done & going home with tyres in the back of the van. Removed std wheels cleaned arm & sus' parts & hubs, & fitted wheels ! Chuffed, then took it out some arse had fitted the plastic inner atrches the wrong side of a clip! every corner - u …

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times but i tried a search and nothing came up so I am looking to put 18`s on my car will these need to be a different offset to 16`s or 17`s? what specs do i need to look for to make sure the wheels will fit without any problems? Will 19`s go on without major mods? Thanks for any help its just i keep looking at different styles which claim the same specs but but then some say they will fit my car ok others say only a 17 will fit? confused totally!!!! HELP

Remind me not to vent my frustrations with life on the car (or forum members, sorry Stuart, Ajay). Remember that new loom I was installing, and nearly finished?... ;

Since my run in with Nissan over the weekend, it got me thinking as to whether along with my letter of complaint I should also note to them about our forum here. First of all Administrators. If you feel that this is a bad idea, full stop, them please mail me or post. Now I don't intend to go in all guns blazing, what I had in mind was a no nonsence, to the point and honest letter about what we are about, how many there are of us and if there was any way that they would be able to offer us preferential treatment. Sounds like a tall order I know, but I'm sure that it would be in the interest of Nissan for them to know what our experiences have been with regar…

HI, Just to let you know that I've now sold two thirds of the parts from my dismantled 300ZX. I have made a list of what is left and how much I want for them. I've had to guess most of the prices, so if anything seems a bit too much, feel free to let me know. The list of parts for sale is in the "FOR SALE/WANTED" section. Obviously I hope you don't need to look at the list too often ;-) AndyZ
