well not been on much lately as i have a new daily drive and been spending sometime with that, and nearly forgot to mot the zed!! anyway took her in today and she passed with flying colour's again so that's me sorted for another year!!

Plenum Gasket AG5808 from Andrew Page motor factors

So my zed has a blown head gasket, compression down to 80psi on the right bank. Sadly I haven't got the funds to fix it, so I'm going to have to sell it as is. Damn :( No photos on this PC but when I get some I'll put a for sale thread up. Didn't even get a summer out of her, ack!

Hi there - can anyone point me in the direction of info on how to change passenger side front wheel bearing please? I've had a good look around but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help as always :)

I had my first Spa Francorchamps track sessions last week-end, and my 300ZXTT turned the switch to "full pleasure"! After the second 25 minutes run, having pushed a little closer to the possibilities, but still staying far from using full 500 Bhp power, everything whent fine, including the StopTech brakes, Tein suspension, and even T1R toyos. But then, partking the car on a slight slope on the Datsun-France stand, .... I could not close my driver door correctly! I put it back on flat zone, and even with this situation something had moved, and I continued with the locked door... entering the passenger side! :mellow: So now: Is this coming from the lack of ri…

Just a quick question. Is there much difference between the short engines in a tt and an n/a? Or is it down to manifolds and ancileries?

I was cleaning my headlight earlier, heard a rattle inside and shook this out. Any idea what it's for or was my Zed used for smuggling heroin?

I did these a while ago thought you might like to see, I just used a couple of 5mm bulbs in each side :wink:.

Seems odd how over the years we have dealt with jobs that seem to follow runs or trends, such as cambelt changes or heater matrix failures, one is a maintenance job which is understandable but the other is a failure that cannot be predicted but we do one and then we will do 4 or 5 in quick succession ?? so over the years we have gotten used to this but this year we have dealt with 3 or 4 engine fires this year? which is very odd, and have seen there is at least 2 more been reported here over the past few weeks. A case in point, we recovered this particular zed early last week, the engine fire had occurred at the end of an uneventful journey and whilst ticking over o…

Went to see F & F 6 @ Vue Sol Central today & when leaving car park spotted a lovely Grey widebody parked up about 4:30ish anyone on here? Jamez

Just found this today after sorting a few things out. Does anyone know the possible manufacturer of this chip? Cheers, Alz.

Anyone with a picture of these lights on a 300?

Hi All My 300zx tt auto had an undignified ride home last week on the back of a recovery truck. Upon investigation the conzult told me no signal from CAS. Cleaned connection tried another CAS still no go. Been out there today, stripped front down and found bolt holding tensioner pulley sheared off :( Whats the chances of no damage???, should i be hopeful or is it time to say goodbye. Before i move any pulleys is there any sequence/order i should move them in order to get them back in alignment? Will try and get another tensioner and do a compression check keeping fingers crossed. Was running really well until then. Colin

I am considering removing the cooler for the transmission and diff. I only use the car on the road and track driving not so much to nothing since it's over 400 kilimeters to the closest track. )had the car for 6-7 years now and still haven't been on the track:huh: I am replacing my diff and trans and the other parts do not have trans or diff cooling. Any special reson why I shouldn't remove the cooler ?

As I have just started to put my plenum back together, I thought I might as well check the plugs while I was at it. I always thought that if an engine is set up correctly, I would expect them to be a nice Orange to Brown colour. Would this be a correct assumtion for these motors also? I noticed that there are 2 different makes fitted, will this be ok? Should I also re gap them? if so what would be the correct gap? (1992 uk manual tt) Thanks in advance guy's. Dave.

During general servicing its not a bad idea to check those common issues that can occur and hopefully prevent a breakdown at a later date, last week during a routing service in the workshop the air flow meter connection was removed for inspection / clean, this was despite any running issues or fault codes. As you can see in the picture one of the terminals had started to corrode and had a very different look to the others, a quick clean and all was the same. Prevention been a better route than just assuming all is well, these connection issues can actually be the cause item failure, a case in point is the ptu which suffers from corrosion of the lower set of pins, …

West replaced the clutch on his Z because it was slipping only to find that the new clutch is slipping! any help and advise i know would be much appreciated. dan.

I think this has been mentioned before, but how does the disc back plate / guard come off? I have a feeling the whole hub needs taking apart.
