Being pretty new to all this I could do with a little advice. The two back boxes on my 300TT (jap/2 seater) have developed large holes. Would I be able to fit a Magnex?, are there other options. all replies appriciated.

Hi All, After reading Johnny's post I was wondering if anyone has got a copy of the afore mentioned??? Search for Curlies Golden Shower!

Guys, Need some idea of how much a decent recon. unit would cost to buy and does anyone know a reputable place to get one? The Smith :-@)

This has already been explained on TT.Net but I can't reiterate it enough. I have had bad vibrations for a long time now. You can hear and feel it coming from the centre console area. Do not assume that it's the prop shaft! I have had the tranny mount replaced and ALL vibrations from that area have disappeared even though my prop looks as though it needs sorting. A guy in the US replaced his prop and experienced the same vibrations fairly soon after. The vibrations disappeared when he replace the tranny mount. I would guess that the tranny drops and alters the geometry slightly. I have an auto tranny. I Don't know if its the same with a manual but I would have…

...I was wondering how many of us drive normally aspirated 300ZX's...I bought mine, having looked at several TT's, and thought it made more sense as a daily commuter car. I would have preferred a 2 seater, but an impending baby 6 months ago put paid to that idea! JEZ300Z

To all of you who wished James and his family I must thank from the bottom of my heart. I have been to visit his family and got the terrible news that young James passed away. I feel so sorry for his family, close friends and everyone involved yesterday. Once again. Thanks for your support guys. Johnny

I've been reading a few past posts and some Zeds have the adjustable shocks. Were they standard on all Zeds??? (mines a 91 TT import) I don't think mine are adjustable, if you have these fitted how do you adjust them? Is there a button fitted in the cockpit for sports/comfort??? THANKS IN ADVANCE..... George ( a not very technical Zed owner)-:

The other day, I noticed the I have a relay missing in the engine compartment. The lid to the relay box reads that it should be the 'sub fan' relay. The connectors are their for the relay. What does it do, and do I really really need it? Cheers. Ben.

After a normal run there seems to be the smell of burnt oil round my rear end (cue for carry-on style gag ...) On closer inspection the diff appears to be leaking some oil, I assume the level is ok as no light apperas on the dash (ie. diff oil warning lamp, which shows ok on ignition) although it could have been disconnected. The service manual indicates that you remove a plug (on the offside I think) and dip in a finger to check the level !? I guess the car should be level when you do this so jacking up to gain access DIY could be a problem. Any ideas on likely causes, and a method for checking the level? Cheers, Glenn

On my way home tonight I witnessed a terrible accident involving a young lad by the name of James who ran in front of the car in front of me. His head was smashed open leaving him in a critical condition. Being one of the first to help I was covered in blood and tried to keep joung James with us. I hope and prey he makes it. A note of caution to us all. Keep an eye on our speed. You never can tell what is around the next corner. I would ask the Z boys to wish James all the best and a speedy recovery. I would like to then print out our best wishes and visit him in hospital. This has shaken me up tonight and I hope to never see anything like this again. Ge…

Hi All, Can anyone tell me the cheapest price & place to get one of these things. Many Thanks Eddie ;-)

After recently delimiting and changing over the Z to MPH I am having problems every morning. When the car is driven from cold the Speedo is reading 0 MPH and after about 1 min the steering becomes very heavy. After about 5 mins driving the Speedo starts to jump around and rests at the position it should be at. The power steering returns. This happens every morning. Yet if I start the car during the day it seems to be fine. I have gone through two convertors allready.???

I need to buy a new radiator for an auto TT asap. Is a UK Nissan dealer the best place to get one (as the standard US ones are different spec), or is it worth buying a Nismo radiator from Courtesy in the States and having it shipped over? I believe the Nismo rads are the same as the standard Euro rads. Is that correct? Is there anyone in the UK who does discounted genuine Nissan parts? The Z Centre? Also, I assume there's no problem with fitting a UK rad in a Jap spec TT is there? Thanks Dave

I tried undoing the screw but it looks like i've just realigned them instead!?!

I've got a fuel leak from a component but I don't know what it is... At the top right of the engine there's a valve type thingy on a fuel line and it's bolted to the plenum. Looks like a plastic mushroom with a pipe going into it. Theres one on the left hand side too but it's just an in-line one and not fastened down to the plenum. My local garage said it was possibly some sort of fuel pressure relief valve but calls to the local Nissan dealer have resulted in erm, err, dunno Any ideas?

further to my earlier post (intermitent cam follower noise) someone has recommended Lucas oil stabiliser , its american and can be mixed with synthetic oil etc and it sounds very good ,just wondered if anyone had heard of it or has used it ? thanks paulr
