Does anyone know how to put the Hicas into diagnostic mode? I have tried the test on ttnet but can't get it to do anything. Should you be visibly able to see the wheels turn when stationary?

IT was bound to happen - some sod swiped my car the other night and drove off without saying anything....I was at a friends so had no idea until I came out....I reported it but theres not much chance of getting them. Luckily its in the same place of some other damage my employer has to cough up for so I'm hoping Middlehurst can come good (again!). If you see a red car with a dent in its front left then let me know!!!!

i never thought i would ever post a message about headlamp bulbs.... ;) one of my headlamp bulbs blew tonight, at exactly the same time as the fuse in my amp power lead blew, a 30A one at that !! WTF is going on there then ? luckily i have a spare bulb, as they are easy to get for UK spec... LOL (sorry you import guys)

ive noticed a amber light witch says power flash up a couple of times wat dose this mean? i prosume it is 2 do with the auto box as there is a switch with power wrote on it

i have just been robbed while i was in my house, woke up and a guy puts a gun to my head , cleaned me out, this really sucks, sunnny south africa does have its bad points,

finally after looking 4 ages ive got a j plate jap tt. shes a beauty leather etc drove it back from chadwellheath 2 bournemouth 2 day and i luv it got to get a headlight bulb 2orrow as 1 has blown. did u guys know nissan has brought the domain name nissan 350z [ithink thats right]looks like they r building it then?

Best deal I managed on tyres was from a place called Headley Tyres who are between Basingstoke & Reading. Price for 245/40Z18 front and 265/35Z18 rear Pirelli PZeros was £641. This was much cheaper than any other quote I had and they had the tyres in stock. It was a bit of a trek for me but well worth it. They also stock SO2s although they didn't have the rears in - and with snow promised the next day and a drive to the New Forest planned, I couldn't afford to wait and stay on slicks any longer. Their phone number is 01635 268384. Dave

Theres a 300 with an Impul bodykit in the latest Japanese performance mag. I like the rear spoiler but I cant seem to find details of Impul anywhere. Has anyone got any info Paul.

Seasons Greetings. does anybody know about the colour coding for the speakers front/rear left/right later Pete

Morning all ... Have posted a copy of the 300zx workshop manual on a website for your perusal: http://300zx.proweb.net Unfortunatly, it's still in pdf format and some of the files are rather large (> 22meg) so will look into exporting it to html if there's enough interest. Thanks to Bob for the original copy. Xmas cheers Rich (Nottingham) P.S. Yippie It's snowing ... I need an empty carpark now !!

...Where's the best place to get a replacement,and how much should I pay? The Z32 engine seems to need a lot of juice to get going on these cold/damp mornings...and not using the car over Xmas seems to finally have taken it's toll. JEZ300Z

What's the best/cheapest/quickest place to get replacement headlamp bulbs for a Jap. spec. TT? I think the part number is 9006? Also, anyone know the correct spark plug gap? Ta!

For the third bloody time ... I've just finished stripping down and rebuilding the drivers side seat belt, they are crap... the first time coincided with up rating and amp'ing the front speakers, I suspect causing a small nylon cog to spontaneously explode in the mechanism of both the drivers and passengers belts, luckily I had a couple of spare units from the scrappy... and to think I used to rate Seiko (the manufacturer of said units). Festive cheers & cold feet Rich - Nottingham

I might have just been the cold but my Hicas light came on this morning for a minute, is there any where to lubricate or is it sealed. (I had to use my Z for work as the 18 month old Fiat didn't want to start). Thanks John

Oh my god, I'm sober and without hangover .. christmas must be over ... personally I can't wait to get back to work .... bar humbug.... On to more interesting things: I read an article somewhere about the car smelling of fuel just after startup from cold and can't find the article again which is unfortunate as mine 91TT has started to do just that. I've also noticed increased fuel consumption (250 mp/tank down to 200 mp/tank) and whilst my local fuelier now greats me with excessive glee, my bank manager's threatening to remove my left testicle.... so any assistance greatly appreciated. Having been away (from the forum) for a while, Nico, hows your turbo's ? …

Well I have found out why I have gone through a new set of rear tyres in 3 weeks. The alignment was 15 degrees out, so both wheels were pointing toward the middle of the car. This would explain all my handling problems especially in the alps. The Hicas wasn't working apparently but I think it is now although does anyone know how to check? As you have probably read I haven't had much luck in my month or so of ownership and just when I thought it was running right it started losing power at 70mph driving down the M6 on xmas eve so I kept the throttle down to keep the car going. I bought the 300 thinging it would be reliable but Iv'e spent well over a grand and something…

I can't believe that I've had my Z for exactly 2 years today! May give her a wash to celebrate, then again its a bit cold out there, brrrrr- maybe next year. Dave

This is a 2nd hand back box system from Nismo which is very rare indeed. Good condition. Contact Johnny @ Grasshopper 01942-671239. By the way Steve Ellerby has a standard Back section for sale too!

Can anyone help please. I have rercently purchased a new Blitz exhaust and have removed the cats from my jap tt, but the cat replacement pipes have not got holes for the exhaust sensors. What do I do with them, do I cut them off or just tuck them up out of the way, cause I understand they adjust the fuel mixture.

Just wanna get a big shout out to all the Memmbers of the Site for making our work worth while over the past couple of years. Have a great Xmas and a Happy new year and watch your Ass ends on them Slippery Winter Roads. Im sure i speak for Craig also when i say Peace out Ya'll and have a Great Holiday Z ya Nico91TT
