I have a 1990 TT and have a hissing noise when pressing down the clutch peddle, coming from, it would seem the clutch pedal area. I thought it may be the clutch booster, but I have pulled the vacuum hose off in the engine bay and capped it at the manifold, but the hissing is still there. Only does it when pressing the clutch peddle. If I keep the clutch peddle pressed in about an inch or so it will continually hiss in that area until I push it all the way down or release it when the noise goes away. Doing my head in trying to figure out what it could be, any ideas ?

Hi all, I'm sure i've asked before but what dials has everyone got (if they have any!?) I've got to get my arse in gear this year and get the zed out. It's only done 5000miles since 2011. Just looking for new dials. Don't want to expensive like Defi otr Blitz etz but there is so much Chinese stuff I don't trust anything. Any pointers or suppliers. Thanks all

I would say yes?

Hello. I have had this car for 20 years and about a year ago the car started shaking on idle. I took it to Nissan center, they tested the engine, all running good. They changed the spark plugs, the car looked better for couple of days, and then went to the same. I took it to another Nissan center, they said it was bad injector. They checked it, injectors were good, but the main engine harness was not. Got a new one, the car looked fine, but couple more days and it's shaking again. Also, at high speed it looks like shaking more than normal, but not so sure about that, might be just me trying to overlook the issue. I don't know what else can I do to solve this. The start of…

Hi folks, My Zed has had an intermittent boot-catch problem for the last few months. Initially, it would jiggle and trigger the interior light/door open light, when driving over bumps etc. I adjusted the catch, so that the boot was more tightly closed - which cured it for a while. When it happened again, I replaced the bolts, as the brass ones had clearly become useless. That worked for a while too - until the light started come on when I had a boot full of shopping; IE when I "squashed" the tailgate down. I then bought a second-hand boot catch from Ebay. This worked for a couple of months - and you've guessed it, the damn thing is playing up again - triggering …

First of all Hello to old and new fellow forum members. I currently have a 300zx TT Auto 1991, which has been laid up for a good 10 years. The time has come to get her back on the road. Can anyone recommend a reputable Zed garage in the Kent area, or even further afield. Thanks in advance

Hi guys Got a problem with my offside front indicator not working. My partner has tested various parts of it and found that the bulb is fine, the flasher unit is fine, but the problem lies within the section I've drawn round in red below. Anyone idea where I can get this bulb holder/cable from? Thanks in advance for any help. And also here, a great big thanks to Jimmer at PowerZed for getting the car back on the road for me after local mechanics screwed it up and it was off the road for months. Now just frustrating that I can't legally drive it because of this indicator!

I seem to have developed an issue when keeping a constant speed around 2k revs, the car starts to judder and jolt. If I'm under acceleration it is as smooth as silk through the rev range, its just when on minimal throttle keeping at a steady speed. I'm thinking it is the MAF as it looks like it is dropping out of the fuel map judging by the AFR gauge. Does anyone have any other ideas what it could be or know of a UK based seller of a genuine new MAF? Thanks Luke

Hello guys,Quick question has anyone bought a good car cover of amazon,If so which one,and what size should they be? Thanks all

Hi guys, can I use a 5mm slip on spacer on the rear with stock studs? Not talking about the universal jobbies but the slip on hubcentric ones with the correct centre bore etc.

Just doing the EGR delete, what size is the plug for the turbo? Is it M22x1.5?

Before i took my 1990 JDM TT auto off the road 2018 the brakes were locking up big time under hard braking.I skidded 3 times and thought this scares the crap out of me!!!I have got uprated 350z discs,New pads,And bits and bobs from Concept Z to make them fit and hopefully in couple of months will dismantle and rebuild calipers,Use stainless steel lines and brakes will be better than before.Does anyone know if 1990 JDM came with ABS as obviously if this could be faulty i will pull ABS unit out and have it rebuilt or replaced.Cheers.

Which would you guys recommend? I’m about ready to start rebuilding the off side area around the intercooler and along the front box section where the oil coolers sit (I can’t think what this areas correct name is). The tin work around these areas are in great condition but I’d like to make sure it stays that way. As there is no top coat here (it looks like it’s just painted in primer grey) I was toying with painting the area black. Would this be over kill? There is a strong possibility that I’m going to spray the bay black one day and will certainly get it professionally painted when the day comes that there is an engine out job to do. What would you guys …

Hi Guys, I’m hoping someone in the community might be able to help. I urgently need to buy a working fuel injector for my 300zx TT it’s a 1993 import with the early injectors. I had a spare set and they have all gone bad. Would like to collect or pay special delivery. please contact me +447500060635. thanks, Fran

Hi, Can someone advise what is best to do for replacement front shocks? The OEM ones are a long wait from Japan (probably even longer with whats going on at the moment!) and I have heard some horror stories about after market ones. I've been quoted 528 dollars each from stock in the US which seems a tad silly. Any suggestions?

Z will be in the garage for a few months so its jacked up and all four wheels off to get at the wheel arches for a deep clean. Front and rear undersides also deep cleaned and of course the 4 alloys. This will keep me busy on these cold wet days and find it very therapeutic after a very traumatic Christmas. Love cleaning and working on this car, bring on the Summer for some fast road driving.. Some pics.

….Albeit an edible one!! I could not believe it when the waiter brought this to the table yesterday - Julia had this amazing cake made and I just could not take a knife to it, so I boxed it up and took it home. My very own Zed in cake form, for my 50th....
