Hi guys, my first posting, although I've been reading this excellent forum for the last month and have parted with lots of cash for an 89 TT auto. The problem happened late last night, after a long drive back from Brighton. I was cruising slowly back along A roads (I even let 2 Peugeots overtake me so I wasn't pushing it) and suddenly there was a noise and the car instantly dropped its speed a bit. I couldn't tell what sort of noise it was as the stereo was on pretty loud. I instantly pulled to the side of the road, got out and checked over the car. I then tried to drive forwards and I got the sound of metal on metal, as if my exhaust pipe was dragging along the gro…

Hi Steve Can you check your E-Mail please M8 Cheerz Simon H

Hi all, anyone heard of this.... After about 10 minutes of driving (once the engine is running at normal temp), I get a very annoying squeal at slow speed coming from the the passenger front corner by the wheel. It gets louder if you turn the steering wheel to the left, and goes a bit quieter when turning to the right. It sounds as if the pads are sticking to the brake discs, but having checked them they seem okay. Could it be related to sort of CV joint going dry?? Any ideas???? CheerZ Chris

Hi guys remember me a couple of years ago ? My then black TT was in rides for ages. I sold her to fund my alarm business now 2 years on i am back in the seat of a 1990 import TT in cherry red and it feels flipping great!!!will post some more serious stuff when I can stop smiling for a moment.Cheers Jeff TT

I have asked Nissan. £188 plus VAT for one sill. Considering the sill on only a 4 foot piece of metal. Does anyone know where else I can get sills from?

Sorry guys, Don't want to be a winge bag...but...I'm getting really f**ked off now! You people are all driving around in your lovely Z machines, with your T-bar roof panels off! Where is my car? Stuck at SE waiting to be fixed...ohhhh the despair, I can't take much more of this. My car has been off the road now since before Crimbo, why can't these garages(Nissan main dealers etc.) and specialists sort it out? A few months ago I was joking with friends that it would be so nice if I could get my car back on the road in time to have the roof off! What a joke, joke is on me obviously!!! LOL... Satan is farting in my face big time! All I have is a memory, a…

I lurk around the Z32 websites smugly thinking how lucky I am that my Z has never let me down. Saturday, the Sun's out I think, tops off and away I go. No such luck, I turn the key and - nothing. It transpires that my 6 month old battery is down to 8 volts (don't know why, I didn't leave anything switched on). The battery charger won't touch it so I jump start it and go for a blast thinking it'll charge up ok, the voltmeter showing a healthy 14 volts. I drove about twenty miles or so and stopped for refreshments. I return to the car turn the key and - nothing. I had to call a friend to come out and jump start me. whether it's associated or not I don't know but on the way …

Well gentlemen the Sun is out the temp is rising etc and yep the air con ain't as cold as it could be!! i seem to recall reading a post from last year about bubbles in the inspection glass. but can't remeber if it should or should not have bubbles in it. whilst on the subject can any recommend so where to get the system regased in the london area west if poss. thanks guys and stay cool or not as the case maybe ;-)

Just thought I would update you guys on how my uni-chip ecu upgrade is performing. Unfortunatley since my Zed has had this installed it is not what I would call 100%. To be fair it has made a hell of an improvement on the performance, as soon as the car reaches 3500 RPM it certainly forces you in the seat!!. The change it made in the speed is quite impressive. HOWEVER, it has made it run considerably rougher and does not idle as well as it did before the upgrade. It is very had to determin if this idle problem is down to the chip or to the other upgrades made after the chip was installed ( e.g. stright through exhaust ). I think I will give it a few more weeks and maybe l…

Just had a faultless value for money job done on the above at R.C developments in Warrington. My problem was valve related and I finished up paying £1900 which is about right, but they went the extra mile in that they honestly appraised my bottom-end and declared it sound when they must have known I was at their mercy, so could have ripped me off, intelligently changed my cam belt after checking the mileage and noting it was due, checked the condition of my turbos,and generally said and did the right things. I was only about their eighth Z as they normally concentrate on Evo's, but Jesus they did a good job! The car flies and now holds 0w50 when it used to use 15w50. They…

...and I'm really jealous of you Guys, driving with your roofs off! JEZ :((

I know we've touched on upgraded ecu's before but i'm looking to purchase one from SE-Nissan this week if possible. Apparently there are a few different spec one's available so, how much have you guys been paying for them, what stage were they and has anyone bought one mail order that was designed to meet their current spec ?????? Oh and if anyone has got an upgraded ECU for sale any make, i'm interested. Cheers, Smithy. I.O.M

I have recently fitted Brembo front calipers and 330mm discs exR33, these have fitted perfectly behind the 17" Momo sportz wheels with stax of room to spare, I reckon there is at least a 100% improvement in braking efficiency especially at high speeds! Cheers to Johnny at Grasshopper for the"mint" condition calipers and discs. One question however, have i retained my A.B.S.? Also, whilst i am on line.................. Due an oil change soon (every 3k) 300zx is just coming up to 96k miles TT model, have used Mobil 1 for last 2 years, anyone recommend a better alternative?

They will fit just like OEM - drop right into your mountin…

Having looked at most of the profiles I have noticed a major point - about 90% of the members in this forum work in IT!!! What does everyone do? We might be able to start a consultancy or something..... We've got members all over the country so coverage is not a problem!!!! To start things of I'm an IT Manager for a company called CPC. Andy

Were you in Harrogate on sat gone outside pub?

Hello people. Can anyone tell me if a faulty coolant temp sensor will cause the car to idle at about 1500rpm or have I got a sticky valve somewhere. Cheers. Paul.

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange: Officer: May I see your driver's license? Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI. Officer: May I see the registration for this vehicle? Driver: It's not my car. I stole it. Officer: The car is stolen? Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there. Officer: There's a gun in the glove box? Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk. Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!? Driver: Yes, sir.…

okay, finally, at last, i have confirmation, WE HAVE A TRACK SESSION AT TRAX i have asked for an afternoon session, to make sure we all get there, as the track briefings are held an hour before the session. I am still waiting for confirms/monies from some of you.... judging by the current list of people, i have 18 300zx(-ish) drivers. I have also been swapping emails with someone from the supra club, who i can probably sell 20 places to. Makes it cheaper for those of us who have confirmed and paid.... If they don't want all of those spaces, then i recently found out that some skyline owners want track time too... So, any of you that hav…
