Can anyone confirm that pin 53 on the ECU is the input from the 'Road Speed Sensor'. Many Thanks Rob

Just finished polishing the car and noticed underneath that a belt was showing. Pulled it out and it is snapped. I havent a clue how long it has been like that but all seems to be ok. Opened the bonnet and it is the one to the right of the fan and seems to link about 3 cogs (is that the right term?) together. Could someone please tell me what it is for, would i have done any damage and how much to replace. Many thanks Martin ps if it is any help it has Nissan 11920 - F6501 4pk965 written on it.

No one here is there? Oh well i`ll just carry on banging my head on this wall then....bump.......bump........bump.......bump......bump....ow.......bump......bump...

anyone any insurance providers to recommend.Who`ll let me pay monthly.

Very very impressed.I feel sorry for you fellas with 2 turbo`s strapped onto the beast i`ve just had roaring back at me .HEY? THAT SOUND? THAT`S NOT BAD IS IT? Now that is a sound!!You`s fellas in the TT`s must have those seatbelt securing unit thingies that they have on rollercoasters to stop you getting thrown out.Very very impressed. Exhaust was popping occasionally like a rally car when stationary high reving (no smoke though and very smoothe running) what`ll that be?Dealer said migh be the mixture is a bit out or small hole in the exhaust but i doubt it would do that. 2 twin pipe exhausts could be newer i observed. He said he`s putting a new clutch on and f…

Sorry to revisit old ground but what is the cheapest & most reliable way of removing speed on 92TT Jap import. Thanks Mike

After all of this trouble trying to find out what was wrong with my HICAS, I reverse off my drive an I notice my HICAS light light it on and a puddle of Steering fluid on the floor. I drive back on to the drive get out and notice that there is a trail of fluid. It id pouring out. I will have to have a look tomorrow when it is light. Hope it is not too bad? Any one have any ideas what it could be and will it be easy to fix? Stuart (getting depressed)

...and a much lighter wallet! Had the suspension straighted at SE over the past month along with a service, MOT and new rear steering arms. Seems SE had to do some major work to the left front suspension arm and the mountings(The bit were you fit your camber kit Craig). I didnt get much opportunity to test the handling as it was raining , but I noticed it still pulls to the damaged side slightly, so adjustable tension rods may be in order. But, its good to be back in the Z and I'll see what the handlings like on the way home tonight and this time I'll go round roundabouts instead of straight over! Trev

JAP 1994M, 300zx, nonTT, 43,000miles, green, non-leather,manual,£8995.He`s giving me £2500 for my primera 20eGT,94M, with £700 nearly new 17inch 7 spoke league tantrum alloys(which is a grand more than i`ve been offered elsewhere[absolutely disgusted about that i bought it for £5500 only 2 years ago]) 1994M ,40k ish miles is a beauty isn`t it?(i have seen a few of 90/91 advertised but not as late as 94M .Am i too optimistic to say this may well promise a bit or reliability and low maintenance?Pretty youthful as far as ZX`s go init?Was a bit suprised to see it had no leather(pretty nice though)what kind of spec and 0-60 should i be expecting from it?It`s not as fast as a…

Can anyone tell me if a HICAS light should come on when I start my import TT Z. I was going to check the fuse hadn't been removed, but the lid is in japanese - anyone have a translation ?? Cheers

Got a rolling road session yesterday to check out the car was alright after my impressions that it was tailing off at 5500 rpm. Seems that I was just used to driving a car with a 6000-8000rpm power band, and there's nothing actually wrong with the Z. Anyway, power came out at 309bhp, 327ftibs torque. Car has 41000 miles on it. Thought jap cars were only allowed 280 bhp ?!

why is it when trying to log onto paulbailey.com i get this message is there any other way of getting in. cheers "T".......

I have had very rusty sills and been quotes £180 each from Nissan, (Parts only) and £700+ from a garage not including parts I have found out that there is a guy at my Archry club who is a metal beater. I asked he see if he could make me some. He measured it and 5 days later I got these They fit perfectly. What a guy. Saved me hundreds. Post pics of the job of putting them on and painting etc when I (I meaning a lot of help from my dad. Well he does it and I hold things) of putting them on. Stuart

Hiya GuyZ, After all the posts about speeding etc recently, I thought I'd share my experience with you. Tonight, after setting off from work, I pulled onto the main road towards the motorway. As I approach a *COMPLETELY* blind left hander, with traffic coming from the other direction (40 limit) what do I see? A Fuckin' Police car coming towards me on MY side of the road doing about 70 mph - brakes on, loads of smoke - oh shit, here goes *cringe* up on the curb. If I had not taken this avoiding action, there would have been a serious accident. Yes he did have his blue lights on but no he didn't have the siren on. After shakily setting off again, what should hap…

Favour... I have a 90 Jap TT, can someone confirm the placement and colour of the relays in the relay box please. I suspect that one or two of mine have been put back in the wrong locations!!!! Mine are as follows... Headlamps (l/h & r/h) = 2 xBlue Headlamp DIM = Black Fog Lamp = Brown ASCD = Black SubFan = Blue Horn = Grey AirCon = Blue EGI = Green IGN = Green Rad Fan = Blue

Managed to damage the wing of my 300zx on Private property the other day. I have been told by several body shop places that they cannot pull the dents out as the wing has a crease in it. Both body shop places have told me that it is likely to cost around £2000 as it requires a new back wing to be re-welded and sprayed.. I have accidental cover and NCB protection. I presume I should have no problems claiming on this????

Hi Guys, Noyt good news. Ifouind that my ZX was leaking oil, only a few drops at a time so I took it to a local garage to get it onto a ramp to have a closer look. At first I thought it my have been something little like the sump seal but to my horror I found the whols of the under side of the car covered in engine oil. All along the exhaust, along the sides.... Has anyone else come across this and does anyone know what the problem may be? Pali

Ummmmmmmmmm, this my second Z and both have had similar sounds coming out from under. Really only noticable when the car is standing still and running next to a wall or in a tunnel - so that the sound is coming back at me! Sounds like a tinkly/rattling. doesant seem to change with engine or road speed. Not sure if it goes away when moving! Sounds like it comes from the middle of the underneath of the car. Any heads up appreciated.

Hi, One day it worked - the next it reads -86 degrees!! (yep - minus 86) My ambient temperture readout now reads as above.... Any ideas which sensor is responsible; The one at the base of the w/screen, or the one in the roof/interior light cluster?

Hi, I just bought a ZX300TT on a 1990... It is a tasty car.. but am having a couple of probs and would be grateful for any advice. The 3 probs I have are: The expansion tank, for the rad, had a split in it and chucked crap our all over the place. I have replaced the exp tank, and the car is running fine... but the water level goes up a bit in the exp tank... and it does not seem to be a pressurised tank..... any ideas..? A red light comes on ... on the dash ... it looks like a pie thing... with steam coming off..... then it goes off for 10 mins ... then it comes on ... goes off.... What does it mean? and why is it coming on... Lastly it …

I have a small prob; When I drive along a back road at around 35mph in 2nd gear waiting for a straight bit of road to show my girlfriend how well my new zed accelerates, if it has been raining, even if I am going in an exact straight line this happens: RPM increase / big spool up / massive increase in velocity / then the back wheels start spinning. I cannot believe a company of Nissan;s standing would allow this to happen! I promise not to do it again Mr Yakimoto, I know there is no rain in Japan, sorry for underestimating your surprising moto car. Boost is my God and rain is my Nemesis. Now I know the secret. Take out the 309GTI when it has pissed down …

My 300zx is sick and I've nowhere else to turn..!! After a mix up with the two dipsticks, my engine was starved of oil and the bottom end blew up! A harsh lesson I'm sure you'll agree! Anyone know where I can purchase a 300ZX Engine for a reasonable price?

Has anyone got a nose section the bit between lights going, any speck, any colour, scuffed doesn't matter. Other bits I need are: Std ariel, or name of another one that will fit. Near side indicator unit UK spec. Headlamp washer jets, I have the mountings but the 10mm round jets are missing. harve

Anyone with '91 Z on... Just read on TT.net differences section that when drivers side door handle is pulled up the lock should illuminate and the interior light comes on??? Reason for me asking about something so trivial is that my Bro had a Honda Prelude that did that which he and I thought was rather cool! So when I had my Supra he used to take the piss saying "Yeah, but yours doesn't do this!" while demonstrating his blue illuminated keylock in the dark outside his house. So if my Z should do it I will be most impressed, sure I tried it but nothing happened. Funny, every time I get a new car that's the first thing he tries and then ridicules me whe…
