Anyone got an air filter upgrade for sale? Jeff TT

Hi anyone know an easy site to post pics for linking into posts.Since re - formatted my web sites not responding to uploads. Jeff TT

Spent some time today sifting through the wrecks of 7 dead zeds and was major surprised to see the level of corrosion on them underneath especially the Uk spec one`s? One in particular would defo failed an Mot and it was a 1994!! how do owners let them get so bad? Found lots of blue leather seats and trim, engines and body parts on my trip,lucky parts are available but the salvage yards are getting gready, one was asking £700 for leater seats + Vat!!! and the T tops were out and the seats wet!

Have managed to get an original flare torch as fitted to the two clips in the passeger footwell on Jap imports.Its the type you activate by pulling the top off and laying on the road behind your car if broken down.Has anyone thoughts on the safety of having this clipped in the car?? I am not too sure, seemed a cool idea at firts ...originality etc but well might clip it in , have a normal torch there at the moment which is probably more practical. Also got a blitz racing boost gauge and Hks boost controller for £40 the pair seems ok eh ? Jeff tt

The engine oil cooler is in front of the aircon rad(condenser)and in front of that is the tichy little transmission oil cooler. I felt it after a run the other day - the oil coolers that is, and the little transmission one was warm but the bigger engine one stone cold. Does anyone know if the engine one is controlled by a thermostat and at waht temp? If so I guess I was driving like a granny as usual and being too cool. Thanks Willie

I can't remember if I've posted this before but... Has anyone come across an idiots guide to replacing the small window guide between the door frame and the glass, you know, the one that attaches to the back of the glass and runs up and down in the groover --- Ooh errr! I'ts bugging the hell out of me as the window 'pops' out of its seal at about 110. Hopefully someone out there can help. Tim Sorry had a really shite day.

OK, unbolted the big connector from the AT ECU, then put it back in and bolted it in a little less tightly (seem to remember that from reading about ALC installations).. Ran the diag again, and now there are no flashes at all ?! Depress accel. and I just get one loong flash on the AT light, then nothing.. No 10 quick flashes, nothing.. Does that mean no faults at all at all? Or did I just do the diag wrong 15 times in a row (I managed it before mind!) It shifts *really* violently out of 1st now at half throttle Plus, it still does this; Floor it, gets to about 60, then no drive, just coasting sitting at 4000RPM.. Lift off a bit, get drive back.. It's…

Okay, who hasn't sent me any money? I had 18 orders placed and as yet have only had cheques or nochex transactions for 8! Who has, honestly, sent me some money today? I need to place this order but it's shrinking daily. Let me know ---- PLEASE! Tim

I oredered gt3 from this company last week monday, and it said 1-10 days delivery, well i just recieved a mail saying "it has been 7 days since you ordered gt3, and we regret to inform you that we shall not be able to deliver within the 10 day quoted time" they say now another 15 or so days.... this is bullshit......

Has anyone fitted an after market front & can sell me the light washer jet units, and also the (UK) nearside indicator/sidelight. Cheers harve

Belonging to Jizz - it's really Jesse isn't it ? "This week I 'ave been mostly driving, a black 300zx" Ahh, OK - I'll get me coat .....

Hi guys, I've just finished clearing my back lights. A Pic is in the rides section if you are interested. Cheers. Rob

Okay then guys, it is easier to ask the question who's not working in IT. It seems that everyone on this forum is in this line of business. Why the 300 and IT? Tim

Help, I have recently purchased a UK spec 300zx TT, and am having laods of problems with the brakes. The front disks and pads are new, and the brake fluid have been bled recently, yet they feel very spongey and weak and the car tends to swerve under braking. What do i do????????????????????? ------------------

Where exactly are you supposed to jack these things using a trolley jack? On the visible lip on the bottom of the sill? (the outermost lip) Or somewhere further inboard? I know, it's a stupid question! I don't even think about where to jack the Renault, I just 'know'.. But I haven't a clue on the Z... Ta Az

Wow! What a difference it made. The movment of the accelerator pedal is so smooth and the car just runs perfectly. The responce of the engine is twice as fast, even to say that the car is slightly faster. Taking her for a spin and there is no jerk from the car when I suddenly put my foot down, and the car wheel spun about 500rpm earlier than normal. If you have not done it do it. Stuart

Just thought I'd share this with you all.. Just had the alignment done.. Everything was waaayyy outta spec.. Had the tracking done front and rear.. But the camber on the left side is way out of spec, and he couldn't adjust the rear, so that side is at something like -2.5' camber.. Bummer.. Oh and 4 tyres & alignment cost £588... (still feeling lightheaded!) Oh and the Aircon has stopped blowing cold, and the cruise control doesn't work... Lemon? I think so... Az

We have had what dog you've got, what other vehicles you've got, what you had for breakfast, where do you live etc. etc. So how about what cars have you had ? I'll start the ball rolling with my list :- Bond Bug (Does this count !!) Fiesta Supersport Astra GTE 8v Honda CRX (not Vtec) Dozens of hire cars (Sierra, Mondeo, Cavalier, Astra, Primera, etc etc) for 4 years ! Renault 19 16v (Company) Astra GSi Renault 19 16v The Zed Don't think I've missed anything. So come on, tell us your worst - mine is probably obvious !

It's launched....... ....After all my (and others) hard work it's out there in the WWW... ...might not do well first year but next year we will, hopefully Just thought I'd let you know that it's launched, I know there are not many football nuts on here but you never know! www.TopSquads.net (Visit, Don't Visit, you choice) Matty. ------------------

It's sometimes possible to move my steering wheel sideways by about 20mm. Is this serious, what has caused it, and should I get it fixed? It happens when the cars moving and when it's stationary. Cheers, Andy

Guys, Is there anyone here located anywhere near Nottingham? I could really do with bit of assistance regarding my perceived safety boost problem Thanks chaps and g'nite ------------------ -- Glen

I can't seem to work out why my cars a bleeper! Its a '90 TT Jap Import 2+0, Whenever the car comes to a near standstill, it beeps once softly (quite similar to the lights on warning beep). It doesnt matter if I am in drive, or neutral, or whether I am braking or coasting to a standstill, at about 3mph I get the single beep. Nissan who just serviced it (and kindly removed £700 from my bank account) looked at me daftly and told me that as it was an import, no-one could tell them what it meant. Does anyone else have this dammed annoying beep? And if so, how did you stop it???

Hello all, I am replacing my front bumper and was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the 1999 model front bumper from?? Thanks, Brian
