Hi took my Z to be pluged in at Nissan to day the engine was given clean bill of health,so that means i waisted £400 fucking quid at my local gararge trying to put it right,BASTARD!!!!!! Any way the problem for my Z ocasionly lossing power is the Auto gear box (WHAT?),the read out says the following,"TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve" The check list is as follows,"Harness or connectors,(the solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)Or line pressure solenoid"that is what it says word for word.I spoke to a guy called Bob at a company in Notts called Oak dean,he says this does not have to mean the gear box has to come out,some ti…

I'm thinking of getting the wide arch kit and round light conversion and want some WIIIDE wheels to go with it. Whats the widest you can get with these kits? I'll be getting new 18's or 19's I think - what size do the Bridgestones go up to? I've got 17" 255's at the back now and they don't look wide anymore!! The Z is going to be a weekend car when I get expensive rubber.

Okay guys.... Help is needed.... My mileometer and tripometer don't work but my speedo does, any idea's?? All help appriciated... Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Hi guys i have done alot of electrical conection cleaning to day ready for tomorrows plug in at nissan derby.Well i was cleaning the crank angle senser terminals and after very close inspection,the very center of the unit there is a Mitsubisi symble,why? This is clearly the Mitsubishi three star symble so i am wondering being that a nissan part is around £280 if my memory serves me well,i wonder what the same Mitsubishi one would cost and does the Z share any other common parts with other model cars,maybe these parts are cheaper.I dont know you tell me,but what model car does the Z CAS come from.Chas

Just got a replacement radiator cap as my Z is overheating again intermitantly and the one i've been given says 1.2 on it as against 0.9 on my old one. Had a quick read of the service manual CD and there's a section on testing the cap and to make sure it opens at 0.9 bar - It says radiator damage may result if too high a release pressure! Has my "trusty" Nissanmaindealer given me the wrong part to earn some more cash?! Part I was given is 21430-54P00 but I can't see the part number in the service manual. Any ideas?

Has anyone approached a broker to see if a 'club' insurance policy could be set up? How many people would use it off this group if it was cheaper? Would have to be quite a few for it to work. I might have a contact that I can chat with. Need to gauge reaction first, might also mean that the 300 forum has to be turned into a 'proper' club. Let me know guyz before I open me gob Tim
