How the jeffin hell do you get the side (yellow) indicator units off my z?!?! Tried wiggling but no real movement! Help!!!

I have been reading posts to various message boards about things going wrong with ZX's and its got me scared, my car has done 107k and has had a transmission rebuild, because my car has done soo many K's does it mean its about to die? I see people saying, get a Trans oil cooler, Your tops might need resealing, The engines only last 100k, fuel leaks are common, you wont improve your fuel consumption cause your engines stuffed etc? Did I buy a car thats about to die?

After getting several quotes for around £2500 for the respraying of my door and replacing the back wing (This all from hitting a small post). I have been forced to put it through my insurance company, luckily I have accidental cover and NCB protection. I phoned the insurance company this morning and they seem to have no problems with the quoted prices and also said I can use any garage. Does anyone know of good bodyshops in the London/Kent area??

Jez I'm interested in the prop shaft kit you have for sale. Let me know if it will fit a 2+2 auto na (I assume it will) and I'll buy it from you. ...thanks Jack

Well I got the info from TT.net and did the diagnostic, no error codes. Nissan did the consult, no error codes car still has hesitation, smell of fuel, and poor fuel economy....Nissan have cleaned all sensors, replaced fuel filter, cleaned throttle bodies and butterflies, set up TPS what more can I do?

Hello again Zedsters, After buying the Batmobile, I notice it has these attached: ‘Field’ Air/Fuel mixer in dash & 'Digital Speed controller' Would anyone know what these fellas do? Could I also ask? - Will I benefit from using 97 Super Plus Unleaded in my car? - It doesn't run bad at all and infact absolutely flies, its a Jap import TT with HKS induction kit, blowoff valves and full GReddy stainless exhaust (twin 5 inch tail pipes ) .. Also, would anyone know what sort of power increase the aformentioned goodies give the car? Am I right in thinking 25bhp for the induction kit and 10bhp for the exhaust? I hope someone knows what I am talking about, bec…

IS there a Consult/Software that the common man can buy to check out his Z? Can any damage be done from doing an ECU diag? I havent done one, but Nissan have no clue about my car, they are gonna rip out the Air Flow Meter on the off chance it might be stuffed, whats next new seat covers in case there is a connection? Should I try the ECU guys?

Hi Zeddites! I know its sorta been discussed in the Upcoming Events forum, but I'd like to start a 'who is going to JAE' thread I've never ever met in real life another person who owns a Zed so I am really looking forward to JAE!

Pearl paint was introduced in 1991, but how do you know if you've got it? I know that you can tell by looking but with the RED(dogs bollox colour, black is for shirt lifters, silver for Batty Men! and white for members of the KKK! LOL!), can you tell from the VIN??? I ain't talking Jones either...LOL! Tim ;-)

That is a flooking smart install Toolz my man!! Sooooo, if I ask really nicely would you tell me roughly how much it would cost to get just the MDF custom box fabricated?? I've just done all my cashflow on the car see, and besides I have some pretty pukka gear anyways, just a case of getting the box sorted.. i reckon i could do it if I had the dimensions and some MDF.. I especially like the bass-relief fosgate logo and 300zx motif, well trick Oh well... goose bumpz and bass pumpz ;-) Glen.

Any ideas on which tuner this chip code might be:- CN0060. The cars a JAP import, and has been socketed. Thanx, Leigh

...I bugger off for 5 mins. to check my emails and when I come back the logo has changed. Looks excellent, better than the boring Nelson logo...10/10!!! Tim ;-)

If you're at a track day and Mr. Rowan "unlucky rubber face" Atkinson asks you for a once round the oval in your Z...tell him to get lost sharpish!!! LMAO! Mr. Bean Crashes Aston Martin Tim ;-)

Nissan part number for the 180 mph gauge??? I think it's an UK spec part....do you have the part number by any chance ? Zee you Henri

Once again those wonderful people at Thames Valley have decided to spend more of our Tax Payers money on stopping a crime (if you could call it that) of little importance instead of concentrating efforts on catching rapists, murderers and theives. See below: Thames Valley Police are mounting a 6 month speeding campaign from the 1st July, on the M40, M4 and A34. They have been equipped with the following unmarked vehicles- BMW 535I, 1 Silver & 1 Dark Green Seat Cordoba 2.0 VTI in Silver Vectra 2.5 SRI- 1 Black & 1 Red Omega 3.0 SRI- 1 Burgundy Volvo S40 T4- 1 Red Volvo S70 - 1 White VW Bora 2.3 VTI - Red VW Passa…

Guy`s. Please take a look at the site. I know there is loads still to do but I would appreciate any input towards developing the site. I have a forum on there which may be of help also any bits and bobs you would like to get info about, you may find other club users have the answer. I have asked Tooley to behave until I get it going but I forgot Chris Lloyd. I will let Tooley and Mark sort him out (Max Power Drinking sessions!) If I have helped any of you guys with parts and you would like your car featured please let me know. It would be great to have the Z guys on 1st for a little bit of support. Look out for the pics from Max Power whi…

Got my car back from Nissan, still havent fixed the fuel/hesitation problems, now they think they might rip out the Air Flow Unit and replace it, anyone know what this is, does and costs? sound like a realistic thing to have to do?

How much fuel can my 91 NA 2+2 hold in Litres? and after the petrol pump does its clicky thing how much more could I squeeze in?

Nooo not the fish but the loowwww soundz.. What would any of you big ICE install boyz and galz recommend for the boot? I have great head unit with nice door speakers - tweeters and 5's in the doors. I cannot find anything to fit in the rear speaker holes (91 import)... would you recommend fabricating a complete box for the boot out of MDF.. my current box wont fit (12" fosgate) and was wondering what you chaps are running in the boot? Thanks Glen

I saw a red zed going down Beaper Shute near Tesco, was that you matey?? If it was, I was the hooligan coming in the opposite direction in a black veilside Z and flashing my lights like a coked up pinball machine Glen.

Got up Sunday AM, hungover, spent all day detailing me new Z, putting in some MP3 ICE and sorting out the leather with KIWI. Drove her to show me dear old mum (she said it was too low and not practical for a family man LOL ) Came back and went to the pub and spent most of the night telling people about my new baby!! Staggered home and, get this, fell ASLEEP reading Ray Hutton's Enthusiasts Companion book... Woke up and went to earn some squidz, hehe couldn't take the Z coz the ramp upto the rooftop car park has a steep ramp and the Z is only 2inches off the floor.. thing is everywhere I go people stop and look, they come over and start talking to me about the Ze…
