After starting my car for the first time in three weeks to bring it out the garage after fixing my last misfire I noticed yet again it's running on 5. I pulled each coil feed and located the one that didn't change engine note, I swapped two coil packs over to see if the mis moved cylinder, it didn't, so I swapped the spark plugs, the mis didn't move, I checked the voltage at the coil feed and it's live... What should I be checking next? Thanks, Dan

Hi everyone, I been trying to figure out this problem with my z where it will crank but it won`t start for the last few months. I looked through pretty much everything and replaced few things like the CPU, Fuel pump relay (new), Ignition relay (new), E.C.C.S. relay (new) and PTU (new). the ECU is not sending out ground signal to the fuel pump relay PIN#18, Ignition relay and E.C.C.S. relay PIN#16 but the ECU has good ground. I would really appreciate if someone could really help me with this. THANK YOU!!!!..

I was having a wee browse on the web and found this for sale..... http://www.kgfclassiccars.co.uk/details.php?cid=248 It looks a nice tidy, original example - and if one doesn't mind the auto 'box, this could be the type of car that is worth keeping!! Richard:thumbup:

So back on July 1st we made public here our intention to retire to Portugal and the sale of Zedworld, the sale had been in the planning stage since Feb/ March after agreeing a price with the to be then new owner. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?170692-Important-Zedworld-announcement However after a month had past I again posted but this time to inform that a delay had occurred. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?171431-August-and-Zedworld-not-so-changed-yet So here I am again but now I am not so happy..in fact I am absolutely furious with the way both Lynda and myself have been treated though out this deal with promise after prom…

Spotted it this morning about half 7 near the m3 junction. Anyone on heres? Was heading towards Southampton.

Hi all, In yet another dilemma....Trying to fit my Abflug bumper last night and found that the way the custom pipe work fits on the intercooler I would have to cut lots off the bumper to make it fit this is something I dont want to do. Once the car has been mapped and I know its healthy I want to have the pipes re done eventually so cutting the Abflug to fit now would destroy it. So im thinking of buying another bumper for now. This would also give me time to have some minor repairs done to the abflug. Does anyone have any urethane bumpers or pre worked fibreglass for sale? Ideally urethane as I dont want to mess around with fibreglass trying to get a dec…

According to the discription below the "item" this is Z32 300ZX... trying to take an unbiased opinion of it (I love the Z32 looks) I don't really think you could call it an improvement :( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2013-Lamborghini-Reventon-kit-car-95-finished-Turn-key-running-and-driving-/261297946421?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item3cd6923f35 Tommo

The breaker I bought a few months back left my drive today destined for the crusher. It was a silver 89 NA, at least it's heart will live on with whatever zed it gets transplanted into !

Ok, so was excited that I finally bolted my engine into the new shell today and started reconnecting everything. I got to the compressor connections and the damn things are different! It's a TT shell and an NA engine. Do TT's use a different compressor, or is this some kind of auto transmission thing (cant think why)? Neither connections fit, though one is a new pipe I got from ebay a while back, as I stripped the threads removing it from the NA shell, I think it's a TT pipe, but when I bought it I didn't know they were different. I'm guessing TT's have different compressor, but why?!

I've been doing a bit of touching up of the bodywork on my old volvo workhorse and it appears I've left the masking tape on too long! It looks like some of it will be a nightmare to remove, especially the glue residue. Has anyone got any top tips, apart from not leaving it on so long!?

here are the sizes front and read staggered fitment, fronts are 18x8j rears are 18x8.5j what size tyres should be fitted

My car has developed a revving issue recently which is getting worse. As I'm slowing down (under 30mph) the engine starts revving between 600 & 1k revs & then settles back down again as the car is coming to a stop or speeds up. The base idle does change slightly aswel when the car is in park, between 600 & 750. Its an auto na. Any ideas what it could be?

just a quickie, anyone know if the electric fan comes on when the ac is on? im sure its supposed to just want to make sure my car has a fault before i go looking for one xD (could be the reason i had to replace the ac compressor??? Thanks guys :D

before i go done the route of fitting buying another electric ariel is there a relay somewere for this or is it just fuses that i need to check cas it dont work and there is a live feed to it. secondly can anyone point out to me the relay to buy for the indicators that i can replace for slowing things down when fitting led bulbs. cheers

Surprisingly this didn't take as long as I thought, but I've managed to get it ready within the weekend. So here's the progress photo's This is how it looked when I picked it up from Lee on Saturday. It appeared as if at some point a silencer had been welded into the tip, so my mission was to remove the weld and try and make it look as acceptable as possible. My first attempt Saturday was to try and hacksaw it off, but it was taking the piss out of me (stupid 5 picture rule)....

So why "What did you do to your zed today?" is Closed? :confused1:
