On my Jap import TT2+2 Auto I have a rocker switch with a "Power" and a "Hold option. The Power position lights a power light on the dash. However, I notice if I accelerate quickly, even without the rocker in the power position, the power light comes and stays on for some time. What's this all about? Mozart

Guys, Seriously need some help here. Here is the Jimmy: I managed to scavenge enuff money to get my tranny rebuild next week. From there im taking the Car to my Folkes Gaff in South Yorkshire to do the Engine Pull and Turbo Rebuild in there oh so spacious 2 car garage. Now everyone knows that one of the biggest Bitches in the engine pull is removing the Tranny! so basically im paying for the Tranny to be dropped and reinstalled then i will have to do the job agian myself. What i ideally could do with is the Car transporting with Gearbox removed upto South Yorkshire and then dropping off so i can do the rest of the engine pull when i get there. F…

NE1 know where I can get some 'cheap' rear bumper corners from the UK. I don't want to replace the whole rear bumper. Thanks, Andy

What would you recommend to the current situation, especially with all the new digital cameras popping up.... I last got done by a Video car, for which there is no way out. But everything else must have some sort of defence. I was thinking of the Bell 990 because I'm sick of my old Snooper radar (not laser) picking up service stations, garages, doors, traffic lights. Does this do anything for the digital cameras? Maybe the 990 isn't the best option. I know you can download a radar database into a GPS system, maybe a bit excessive, but no defence against the handheld unit that first caught me! I'm concerned beacuse the new digital cameras are appare…

Does anyone know of anywhere around Cambridgeshire that would be good for servicing of my Zx once I purchase it. Especially someone to fit the propshaft support bearing?

I am looking to purchase a 1990 300ZX TT Auto and have found a 2 owner car in immaculate condition with 65k miles however there is a strange vibration from the centre of the car that vibrates through the drivers seat when driving normally. Could the Auto box be on the way out or driveshaft perhaps, has anyone experienced anything like this? Hope you can help, thanks.

i've had very occasional loss of PAS since i've had my car, but normally only after sitting in slow moving traffic on a hot day, and finally getting clear. But now, it seems like i have lost all PAS. No loss of fluid, no warning lights, no broken belt, no nothing. Any ideas anyone ? I guess it's got to be one of:- 1) a pump that's not doing anything (but wouldn't it be making a horrible broken noise ?) 2) something with the rack ? although it works fine, just heavy ;) no noises 3) some sensor somewhere ? speed sensor or something ? although nothing else seems affected help from the collective please.... I have a 4 hour round trip acr…

Guys, Probably a stupid question but what do pop chargers do. I see them mentioned on various sites and I was just wondering. Cheers.

well... what next?

Well, we might be getting somewhere. After a LOT of farting about NU will not agree to a new AB-Flug front fasia. Reason: £1556 + carriage + VAT/Duty and so on (ouch). An 8 week delivery time doesn't help although Jonathan at GH could get one a lot sooner (Fly the bloody thing over you see). NU Reply: Bugger off. So..... NU are sending it to a fibreglass specialist who is going to rebuild it. At least I should get it back sooner I guess. I can't stand this 'courtesy' car any longer! Andy

My hicas light comes on when I first start my car from cold. It seems to only happen in the mornings when it has been cold. Is it anything to worry about? Cheers Vijay

Hi guys, Well, for the lads interested in the GRacer front I havent been able to track down my mate who fitted it! It seems he shut up shop about 4 months ago, its a shame coz he had some good stuff for the Z32. sorry :( My Z cut out on me sunday night after driving for about 5 hours from southend and around london. Z had been sitting on idle for about 5 minutes (got lost, couldnt find the strippers ;) LOL), then when pulling away the revs died and the engine went dead! I didnt think it was the Power Transistor because it wouldnt rev smoothly or above 1500rpm once it did restart. Could it have been some sort of fuel cut off due to engine heat? It d…

I remember a few people talking about these headlight conversion kits a while ago. There are some for sale on twinturbo.net for $520+shipping. It's on a first come first serve basis. My Z isn't allowed out after 6pm so I'm not interested myself. Steve

I have a 92 Jap Spec NA, any idea what the little red lever is behind the gearshift? John

Sorry if there is a duplicate posting. On the back of the top of the head, in the centre are two plugs, one is connected one is not. There is one socket, both plugs fit it? I am puzzled. The plugs are two pin, one plug leads to the loom of th engine harness, one to a sensor of valve on the rigt hand side of the ballance pipe. Any Ideas? Paul

I want BHP and Tourque print outs and to maybe adjust the timing. Most of them are probably upto 250bhp at the rear wheels which is not enough.
