Ok so ever since I passed my test I've always wanted to do a trip to the ring, but something's always come up so haven't been able to go, a few months ago the GTIR owners club did a trip to it but with a baby on the way again I couldn't go, the pics and vids ect looked great fun So I thought next year this is defiantly something I want to do, now I don't think this club does enough big meets or events so I was thinking maybe we could sort out a road trip to the ring, we could do it for example May or June next year this gives anyone interested plenty of time to save/get there cars ready and to sort it with work ect. It would be a long weekend thing so something…

Got my insurance renewal in the post the other day and it has more than doubled in price from last year! I was with sureturm, but as mentioned by si in a previous thread they no longer insure grey imports, or In their words " we advise that following a change in product range means we are not able to offer you a quotation through enterprise insurance group for you renewal". They did however go on to say that they have searched their panel of insurers and can insure me through Lancaster insurance for £527.77.... More than double the price of last year!!! I have been onto a few comparison sites and nearly all were quoting over £2000, one even wanted over £10,000! I …

Hey all, Having problems with reading my ecu codes. Pulled the ecu to turn on the self diagnosis and theres no mode selector knob on it! Just a hole and the led, stuffed a screwdriver in but nothing in there but diodes and stuff! Next pulled all the under dash off to try and find the consult port to bridge the pins to select diagnosis mode and theres no port anywhere!! Maybe i am just not seeing it but really have looked everywhere. Its a 93 UK spec TT manual, did they put them somewhere else on the UK? Help!!!! Reason for needing codes is she has an occasional missfire/hesitation on light throttle. Comes and goes, give her some more (onto boost) and she clears…

This post on TT.net shows the installation of a Nismo Euro Spec Oil Cooler Kit: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2212694/Nismo-Euro-Spec-Oil-Cooler-Kit-21305-37P00K.html It is the same as installed on my car from the factory (the pictures are clearer than I can take the moment with all the other stuff in the way). This photo shows the power steering cooler taken through the bumper. It is fitted on the mounting bracket you can see in the pictures in the TT.net post. This is the parts diagram for UK/Euro power steering piping (hydraulically actuated Hicas): -Andrew

Very quiet in here today, everyone ok or is the boss about? Jeff TT

Its not often i post in here asking for help lol, but sometimes a problem shared and all that. Here goes: car ran fine, then recently started chugging on tickover, which i thought i had pinned down to the temp sensor, the clip was missing and wasnt seated tightly, sorted that issue and all seemed fine. Then this week kept stalling on me and hunting, gave the throttle a blip and stayed up for a while, but tickover was lumpy, power down until past 3k or so revs and eventually pulled well. So i decided to do a process of elimination and some connector checks. All the injector plug terminals had some green corrosion, even though i had used dialectic grease on them p…

Hi all, I have been told before who to see about potential body work jobs, but being new and having a brain like a sieve I can't remember who it was. Can't remember their name or username on here :lol: need a quote from someone for a bumper respray and some sill/quarter panel work. Plus it's my daily car so the less time it's off the road the better :)

Hi All, Coming back home last night I started to get a squeak/thud from the front suspension area. It has stiff Eibach suspension on and that side has taken a few big hits over the years. Anyone know if this suspension uses stock bushes or can I get some upgraded ones instaed and anyone know who stocks them. Cheers in advance. CT

Heya Guys, I notice a few of the regulars still posting so thought I'd put this up for some honest advice. I pretty much live in France now chasing surf and am back for 3 months to finish a long list of left-behind projects. I'm 100% going to shift this 300zx of mine (The White one I used post loads of pics for and as far as I could tell was always in the top 5 power-houses in the UK) -- I don't say this to start a debate!! :) So, I haven't even started my 300zx since JapFest a few years ago, it's sitting in the same garage it was always in. AND There-in lies the Rub - House is no longer mine and the new inhabitant ( Mother-in-Law) is F'ing a…

A couple of months ago, my viscous fan coupling decided to spit out all it's oil, I replaced it with a second hand one (very kindly donated by bruce300). This also has now decided to spray it's oil content all over the surrounding area....:huh: Is there something causing this to happen or is it a pretty common occurrence? What's the best way forward - another viscous fan coupling or go the electric fan road?

In the Zed community where let's face it news travels very fast especially bad news, I have been sitting on this info/pics for about 3 weeks now and I get no pleasure from it but only to inform you all. I was shown these pics and more of this car and it dawned on me that I had seen the car before, not having to look far I found it and it belong to a very high profile active member on here..........Paul C had owned this UK Zed 11 years, sold it earlier this very summer and within weeks.....well see below for yourself - now a Cat B, apparently 'the rear kicked out on a dual carriageway and the driver lost control'. Sorry Paul if you didn't know bud, I guess the fo…

Hi guys, yesterday my car developed strange noise. It sounds something like when you put a small metal ball inside a plastic cup and shake it. I'm not sure if the noise is coming from the top of the engine or the back of engine. My car is an automatic, I can always hear the noise when I put the car in drive, and only sometimes in neutral. Her is a video of the noise (it's dark so you wont see anything but sound is ok.) Normal engine noise is up to 29 sec, then I put the car in drive and you can rattling noise start.

Hi All, You may remember my thread a few months ago when I joined the forum (http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?171494-Hi-from-Berkshire!) , when I was looking for a decent TT. This weekend I drove a few hours across to Wales to meet up with Dean (Sir Charles) and pick up a Slicktop that needs no introduction on the forum. The car is a credit to him, and its former owners and I hope to keep it just as fresh and tidy and keep adding to the spec list. Dean is a fantastic bloke, genuine and friendly and I would not hesitate to do business with him again. This is my first 300, but I have previously owned S14a and S12 Nissans, a X308 XJR…
