Anyone got a picture of a manual gearbox showing the 3 sensors in the side of it?

I need some help identifying which plugs go to what as some of them were unplugged when I got the car. This is the bundle that comes through the inner wing by the brake master cylinder/small fuse box. Im guessing one of the them is for the boost solenoid that was there. I think B is something to do with the starter or gearbox, I have a vague memory of it going down from there when I took it out Cheers

Quick clutch service last month also revealed these scarey nuts fitted on this zed rear wheel, there was barely three turns on each nut, goodness knows how they stayed on? (sorry pic blurry) Jeff TT

What is it with big boxes? must be a guy thing, however big boxes often mean big cost and this one was no exception, we fitted a replacement exhaust for on a 350z and the owner wanted genuine Nissan and well here is nearly £500 worth of rear back box and intermediate pipe...yikes! Jeff TT

Just a heads up to be careful when adding additional cables into existing circuits on your zed, cable size and fuse ratings need to be taken into account, and Nissan do things a bit back to front with the switching circuits electing to switch the earth rather than the live supply on most of the smaller circuits. Case in point I dealt with over the past week, a zed displaying some odd electrical issues with the lighting circuit and dash cluster. No fuses were blown and no obvious reason for the problems with the lights and non functioning dash cluster. Digging deeper and following the wiring looms nothing showed out, removing the dash cluster also intially faile…

Hi all, My 300zx tt is playing up on kick down, splutters and hesitates a little, was wondering if these are fitted with a maf sensor? , if so where would i find it? intending on doing a service shortly also. cheers ;)

You guys still ok for the 30th March for the rolling road, as I need to send a deposit??? Dave

Moved the zed out of the garage , washed it dried it off put it back in the perfectly dry garage and where the car was there is now a plate size puddle of oil.....how !!! The car has only done 150 miles since getting it back and again problems....getting so fed up ....keep an eye in the for sale section

hi folkes got a non turbo auto 300zx looking for 2 front pipes anyone help ? also scuttle small piece on nearside mine has fell to bits haaaa thanx

Hoping for some help on this one, Got a bargain of eBay....... 251229080072 Told it was a veilside and that model C 1 Have had a look at quite a few pics of these to see how other people have fitted lights and not sure it is one, so first prob is that question and the other is, how the hell am I going to fit indicators and side lights to it as uk and Jdm won't fit ?!?!?! Any advice would be great, ta :)

Noticed that my mileage is not counting up anymore and my trip is stuck on 0000....any ideas what this could be ? The clocks i'm thinking as my speedo is still working okay.

Big thanks for all the advice recieved on this site for all the little problems on my Zed.Its finally going like a train!!

Just wondered if any of these slicktops are still in the club. http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-cars-sale-private-sales/33930-mint-300zx-tt-swb-slicktop-manual-rare.html

In there Sig????????

would it be better to just save for a few months and try and source a nice low mileage tt engine for my car as the engine i have seems to have alot of problems - also does anyone know were i could source a tt auto engine for a uk spec car as i just wanna get an idea of price etc - the turbos are good on my car so i could reuse them but the rest of it i think is on its way out.

To cheap to be any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/F1-RACING-FLYWHEEL-LIGHTWEIGHT-NSSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO Has anybody had any one fitted?

can anyone recommend a subtle exhaust that wont compromise power too much? what are the japspeed ones like? its for an NA so will be louder then a TT just finished repairing the zed after the crash, and the first time ever i don't really want to drive it any more. starting to feel really stupid with what sounds like a gang of harleys following me everywhere, its getting looks for the wrong reasons, between that and the Bee-R limiter on it (which my colleagues keep changing to 2,000rpm when im not looking :glare:) its getting a bit of a reputation that needs to change.

Hello guys. So i got a problem, my AVC-R, no matter what boost i set up, max boost its always 0.9 bar. Yesterday i want to test something and i set it up for 1.0 bar, max boost an AVC-R screen was 0.9 bar. So i try set it up at 1.1 bar , short run and.... 0.9 bar on AVC-R max boost screen... I got GT2560R turbos so i think 1.0 bar is not a big problem for them... Anybody know whats wrong? PS. my AVC-R setup is like this - http://z32.wikispaces.com/file/view/TT_Vac_BoostController.png/231588342/TT_Vac_BoostController.png Cheers Konrad

Whilst doing a routine assessment for a new owner last week we came across the wheel and tyre combo below, with a low ride hight and body kit fitted the wheel and tyre that was visable in normal use appeared just fine, in fact the tyre tread was very good. However whilst underneath the car we could see the inside wall was a very different affair, take a look and imagine the outcome of a long sustained motorway journey with this fitted to your zed, makes me shudder! what though makes me absolutely furious is the 12 months MOT that came with the car from 2 weeks earlier.....used car dealers!! and that was the tip of the problems. Worth checking the inner walls of…

on my current zed, as i have no real history, would love to know who owned it at some point and the search function isnt really being helpful as im not sure what to search for? I know it was defiantly on the forum or owned by someone who had subscribed (or maybe they just got the sticker) as there is a faint outline where 300zx.co.uk can been seen under the rear window washer jet. Would just really love to read some old posts about it.

K guys so i changed the spark plugs today was easy and no problems there so decided to take a good look at the car for the first time since ive not been able to since buying her - When i start her up there is like a buzzing noise comming from the back of the car not quite sure what it is but sounds electrical There is water comming out of the exhaust when given some throttle and some white smoke the water does seem a little dark like there is oil in it but it could also just be from the dirst inside the exhaust system as it dont look like oil or smell like it. I thought the water pump was on its way out but i think its the electrical fan that was squeking and …
