Just wandering if anyone has ever had to buy a brake master cylinder for a jap import tt. Cos i am having BIG problems getting the right one from Courtesy Nissan. I am now on the 2nd one and it is still not right. They now recon they cant get one. Just wandering if there is a left and right hand drive version available, because the pipes that go in to it are on the wrong side. Any info including part no. will be gratefully accepted. Paul.

I might need a starter motor as the casing on mine has somehow cracked. If anyone has one, working or not can you let me know incase I need it. Cheers Vijay

Do any of you know where i can check a VIN number online, i've just had a car checked buy plod and they told me that it could be stolen. But they are not sure! As it does have the original VIN number. They said it is on the interpol stolen register. But it is actualy stolen recovered in Japan. Plod have told me i can't drive it or sell it until further notice. Any help would be appriciated.

I have read somewhere on the forum that if you increase the line pressure on an auto box you can get a faster gear change. Is this true and if so has anyone done it or how easy is it to do. Is there any adverse affects. Sounds good if it works. Any help most appriciated. Tim

Just a quick one to ask..... does anyone know anyone or is someone who has any hks bits for sale??? Second hand is fine as long as the merchandise is not damaged. I really need an hks duel or super dragger exhaust system, hks blow off valves, a turbo timer, ans an hks induction kit. CHEERS!!!!!!!!!

After another week sat in the garage having my front suspension and wheel bearings done as well as few other bits and pieces got the car back with a nice hefty bill, so nobody is getting any christmas presents this year. Btw does anybody know a good alloy refurber in the north around derbyshire/Sheffield mine look shite at the moment. Regards JOHN Not cooking turkey this year except on Christmas Day, because I hate the fucking stuff.

it's been raining hard for over a month now, but suddenly I have water dripping in at the front t top join to the roof... checked rubber and seems okay but little confused to front drainage - on back holes I get thread wire down to floor under car but the front holes only have a 3mm depth... How does the front drainage work then? Cheers Robb

I own a 91 Z auto. It has several performance modifications already. I just wondered if you could fit blow off valves or not? is the principle still the same as a manual? will they still work the same? and also any suggestions on what sort? oh yeah and do u have to fit 2 because it is a v6?

Hi there, the time has now come for me to part with my 300, dont want to, but the tax man demands it of me. I dont know how much to advertise it for, so i'm open to offers. Ok, here goes Its a 1990 model (I think) Private plate (H4 BAH - valued at £600) Black Twin Turbo T Bar 80,000 miles lots of recipts 6 CD changer in boot Graphic Equilizer Amp 600 miles ago, I had the engine and both turbo's replaced (no real need to, just wanted it to last longer - cost me £3500) Comes with 2 spare alloys (my local alloy centre worked on a 300 so I brought the old ones, guessed they would be hard to find when needed) Has all of the extras, electric window…

can anyone tell me where i can get some deep dish alloys for my Z ,Im having major problems local dealers say deep dish style wont clear the brake calypers,in fact im at te point i will fit anything half decent,any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. ------------------ minder

Right - sorry bout the subject line - had to get your attention ;-) Dilema - Have new bumber with stylish racing mesh fitted *but* it clashes with the intercoller 'ducts'... So, do I keep the ducts or the mesh - realisticly how much difference do the ducts make? Considered opinions... Thanks Guys (& Gals) /\/\ark

Well, I've converted my car from Auto to Manual but what a bloody job and a half!!! Getting those hydraulic pipes in was a bugger as well as getting the pedals & clutch booster in position! There's a couple of things to do like connect the HICAS clutch switch instead of the Park brake switch, Neutral switch instead of auto inhibitor switch etc. I'm testing it out on the road tonight so it should be interesting! Wish me luck guys!!!!

Does anyone know how to get gear oil into a manual box? I think it goes in through that metal pipe at the top but I'm not sure! Thanks, Shaun

Hi All. Having followed, with much interest, the posts on this forum for over a year now, I've finally plucked up the courage to introduce myself to you. My name's Guy and I've owned a Jap spec 91 TT auto for the last two years. It's totally orignal (no mods) and like you I think they're fantastic cars. I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to you all as well. Whilst I haven't made any posts before, the technical info that you make available both on this forum and on the site has been invaluable - particularly the info about headlight bulbs for imports, fuses (indecipherable before!) and introductions to people like Luke at the z-centre. The reason that …

No, not mine, thank any gods who happen to be listening. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=598796823&r=0&t=0 I was under the impression that if airbags were deployed that the car was a write-off, usually as a C. But, having just read that, it is a write-off as you get salvage title with it.

Anyone? I am off work, feeling crap and terrible, maybe worse than that. I need some miracle cure, anyone help me? Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Calling all worldwide stations. I'm desperately trying to LOCATE a MANUFACTURER of Indiglo Gauges. I gave up the idea to find Indiglo gauges that would fit the EURO spec cars, but I discovered that I can pretty easily print custom templates.....so all I need is to LOCATE a Manufacturer, and get BLANK gauges. If you have indiglo in your car, can you please help me to locate WHO actually MFG them.

Please guys, then I'm bantering with Mr. Duff tonight and he says that it's been assumed by the Z masses that it's me!!! WTF!!! What just coz that twat starts posting as me and Mat Lad bugger off in a huff? People put 2 and 2 together and come up with Porker = Timmy Turbo...Fuck off! I know that I've not gone down too well with some of the other forums, but it is not me! I've been man enough to sort things out with the Soup guys, I apologised to John Branners and he's accepted my apology and w…
