Hi any one know here its the best place to buy a 99spec indicator? Thank you

Hi guys, Having issues with my bloody brakes... trying to bleed the brakes, and pedal keeps sinking. clamped the rubber hose at each caliper one by one but pedal still sinks, Tried another master cylinder and still sinks. checked for leaks and nothing, Only thing I have noticed is when im bleeding at abs pump u here the fluid hissing while pumping like its releasing the pedal pressure inside the pump. starting to think its a valve in the pump open is this possible lol... Anyone got any ideas..

After finishing replacing my stereo and CD player, I thought I would go for a quick spin. After a couple of miles I noticed that my temperature was slightly up! (the cars that is, not mine. lol) so headed home. When I pulled up onto the drive I was horrified to find steam billowing out from under the bonnet. It was coming from the drivers side of the engine at the back and was coming up from below the brake fluid reservoir. Any ideas as for the likely cause??

Just a quickie.... ;) Would a T10/501 bulb be suitable for a front repeater filament? Would there be enough illumination from this, and would the repeater flash at the standard rate? Cheers, Alz.

Got engine running but after 2 mins roughly the aux fan kicks in and stays on regardless of temp switch bypass, is this a sign of a faulty ecu? Tried my own ecu on it and the car is fine! Probably answered my own question but I'm a bit miffed as I have to swap my ecu from my main z to my track one, I purchased the impul ecu so I didn't have to do this

Hi All, I'm picking up my new zed next week ('90 import TT auto) and have booked her in for an inspection/re-commission at MWP. The car had a cambelt change 4 years/6k miles ago and more recently, new discs and pads-f&r, shocks and springs. I'm thinking that apart from getting it up on the ramp and looking for bushes to replace etc, the next job should be fitment of an oil cooler for the auto 'box (given the year). What do you think? Am I on the right lines? Many thanks. N.

...well 300zx porn of course. For anyone that hasn't seen this, it is a thing to behold. That engine bay, and the interior.... WOW. GT3 seats work amazingly well, just happens to be a set on ebay at the moment, but replicas aren't' too dear in the grand scheme of a build like this. http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19185&page=10 You have to respect the length of this project, it is a real passion. and for a car which is so unique... I would pay to see this! Best, William.

is is possible to fit 18inch wheels of a 350z on to the 300zx

I signed up to an agreed valuation insurance policy with Sky insurance approximately 6weeks ago. As expected they took payment of the full premium immediately. Only today have I received confirmation of the valuation they are willing to agree - £5k!! After close to 6yrs of ownership, a shed load of receipts and proofs of work completed and a valuation from a recognised car club this feels like a a kick in the teeth! My questions are these: 1. Am I being unreasonable when all the evidence available to me suggests this value is 35% of what I was expecting it to be? 2. Have any of you had this situation? What are my options for recourse? I took the policy solely be…

Hi hoping someone can help me here.... Just changing the cambelt on the car as the original new but old one fitted was on the engine for 4yrs with 0 milage. Anyway I was just fitting the spacer plate between the cambelt sprocket and under drive pulley and noticed that the spacer can freely spin. Should there be a key way to hold it in position? As there seems to be a groove in the crank to place one.. The only one I have is for the under drive pulley. Im guessing its job is to stop the belt from running off the sprocket? Can I do without it? Thanks Dan This is the plate in question

At the weekend the lockup looked like this Now it looks like this After 2 years tucked away I've decided to use the z31 again and have put the z32 away for a while. Slightly sticky throttle and the brakes need ran in to remove surface rust but apart from that she seems in good health. Had a service, think brake and ps fluid could do with being flushed too, one coolant hose was brittle and has been replaced but apart from that i think its good to go. :thumbup1:

when i drove my baby home the very first time she leaked fuel when filled from where the filler tube mounts onto the tank looks like the local mechanic did a bodge job :asshole: is there a supplier who can supply the correct gasket so i can sort this very quickly even though i have my ticket for jae this puts my attending in doubt

I brought a 300zx tt yesterday but on the way home it overheated and the oil pressure was low and had no power. When it got hot it was making a rattling sound but now its cooled it starts and sounds ok, just running lumpy. I have checked the oil and that looks ok but the coolant is very low. Do you think this sounds like head gasket failure?

Hey guys, I believe my autobox has gone bust. Normal drive the gears seem fine and changes from 1,2 and 3 are fine and smooth but it doesn't go into 4th (overdrive). When boosting, the gears don't want to change at all. Whichever gear its in while boosting, it stays in it and keeps revving high and I can hear a groaning around 3-4k plus rpm which seems to be coming from the engine but its gotta be due to the gearbox. The second I let off the accelerator, it changes gear right away. The kickdown is slippery if not going into 1st. From 2nd to 1st kickdown is fine but then keeps revving up. From 3rd to 2nd, its real sluggish. Revs go up a little then the speeds picks up…

Hi mate, seem to remember you relocating the battery on your slick top to the area behind seats, do you have any photos or tips

Would just like to say a public thank you to Baz. I was lucky enough to purchase an original radio and CD player from him for a good price and in excellent condition, he was even kind enough to drop it of to me in person today at my place of work. Service or what! Cheers Baz. It was nice to meet you as well mate. Rep on it's way.

After pulling the plenum to do some deletes..... there are 2 issues I need advice on please:- 1) I have found the 90 degree metal pipe going into the rocker cover has come out of the passenger side, the one that goes to the PCV valve.... Does this normally come out of the rocker cover?? Also the front pipe that goes to the other end of the PCV on the passenger side is also loose... the high one that sits under the throttle linkage....??? 2) After removing the turbo I realised there is no heat shielding on the passenger turbo or manifold.... Is it okay to leave it like this or should I take the one off the spare manifold I have and fit it on??? Thanks.... …

the front bush on the drivers side rear subframe is leaking and looks pretty gone is it possible to replace just the front 2 bushes with the subframe in the car ? i would of just left it but the car is pulling to one side so thinking this bush isnt helping things

Hello, Trying to solve a pulling to the left issue like Dan and went and did the gap test this evening and realised that the front right camber is leaning in towards the arch (negative?) by a couple of degrees, I believe this could be contributing to the pulling issue. I will have my mechanic look into what is causing it, but if it is unidentified then a camber kti should sort it right?... There is one on ebay for £100, is that an alright price? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CUSCO-NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-FRONT-UPPER-CAMBER-ARMS-/231042464856?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35cb343c58 Also when I had my wheels aligned last week they just put a …

Anybody any idea what to do about replacing these clips? They go in the t-top weather strips. There are 5 of them per strip ... going to try some small little hex nuts in the ends - maybe with a bit of glue ... in the actual stripping though only the original thing is going to work properly I guess ... apart possibly a square nut. Anyone any advice?

Hi All I have some Brembo 6pots form a Subaru and 345mm discs but need to find some brackets to attach said calipers. Does anyone know whether these brackets are available off the shelf or someone who has had some made up that could let me know whom they used (and has hopefully kept a record of what they made) Its a UK TT with 18" wheels so I cant see there being any problems fitting it all in Cheers
