rear speakers seem not to work all leads connected on my sterio is thi a common prob or isthere somting else underlying

I've got autogauge smoked water temp, boost, and oil pressure, and recently, my oil pressure gauge has been playing up, a tiny blip of the throttle and the needle just shoots straight up in an instant, then eventually drops straight back down, but is very twitchy, I had put it down to a faulty sender, but then my water temp gauge started being weird, the needle would suddenly drop too low when fully warmed up, and was twitching up to proper temp and back down again, with exactly the same rhythm and movement as the oil pressure gauge needle, deffo not a coincidence, could it be interference or a ground problem? Cheers, Tudor...

as above ??? i much prefer the old 300zx site format (lay- out) i may of missed something...but why was it changed in the first place. ?? can we have a vote on who likes which format the best ? (or has that been done)

looking for a nice set of rear fog lenzes for my uk 91 tinted would be nice, must be crack free,,also im after front dummy lights and fogs with indicator lights crack free also ,anyone got any for sale let me know cheers

Could do with pads and discs so thought I'd check before getting standard items if anyone has any uprated brakes coming up for sale soon?

Is Silverbullet around or offline? I see he posted in Feb but I can't pm him. Cheers. Oh and belated Happy New Year to all zedders :innocent:

I've been wheel hunting for months now and have had several quotes. Its a difficult choice. I had a quote for a set of 3 piece forged split rims from the states. They said that if i opt for 8" fronts, they could build the wheels as 2 piece instead of 3. This would create a saving of £600 over the 3piece 9" fronts. Your thoughts? 8" seems a little skinny, but £600 is a fair saving.

HI i BOUGHT THIS CATBACK EXHAUST FROM PAUL AT SWZ ABOUT 3YRS AGO BUT THERE IS NOTHING STAMPED ON IT EXCEPT THE STAINLESS STEEL TYPE NUMBER AND I HAVN'T MANAGED TO FIND ANY OTHER MEMBERS WITH THIS SYSTEM SO FAR,IT IS NOT ALL THAT LOUD ON THE TURBO I HAVE IT FITTED TO,BUT I AM GOING TO FIT IT TO MY NA HOW MUCH LOUDER WILL IT BE? IT IS A DEEP SOUND AS WELL:confused1:

What does everyone think? I currently have standard suspension on the car. Should I fit new standard or fit the meisterR's I have in the garage? What do people prefer???

I'm trying to find a thread about correcting the fitment of the 99 spec gear knob. It tells you how to fix it if when screwed on fully it doesn't line up properly. All I can find is either people selling cars (get this with every search I do!) or asking if "this will fit" Anyone able to help? Cheers steams

I got massive thing, my car lights is allways on even if i turn off or take out the key. Tail lights, speedometer is always on. What does can be wrong? Have no ideas. Does anyone had this problem before.

ive had a look but cant seem to find a thread showing pics of how to seperate rear lenses . has anybody got a link please cheers andy

Managed a whole day on my 2 project cars! The 200sx had the custom subframe fitted along with the steering rack, also burned out and removed the track control arms and bottom arms suspension bushes ready for the powerflex poly bushes. On the 300zx the exhaust removed including cats and downpipes, didn't realise it was a hks super dragger! Prop and starter motor off so the engine is now ready to come out and drop in the 200sx! 350 twin turbo horses here we come! Other engine for the 300 won't be long at Jimmers although pmi sending 1 x88mm, 4 x 81mm and 1x 80mm piston rings isn't helping and will cost time but being done is Port/polish Arp rods Wiseco…

Trying to install a Toad alarm in my 91 NA and the wiring is different to my 96 TT which to me in comparison was a snitch to install. Pain in the ass is the word, So far ive figured this : White - Constant 12V Black (white stripe) - Ignition Black (red stripe) - ??? Blue - Accesory 12V Black (yellow stripe) - ??? Can anyone identify the other two ?

couldn't find whether this was posted before, but scroll down on the link http://arizonazcar.com/300zxbrakes.html looks a bit weird :online2long:

the sun is out ,means only one thing the zed gets to stretch its legs

Not sure if this is normal, but when I depress the clutch pedal there is about 1" of loose travel before I feel any kind of resistance. I may be imagining this but it seems to feel a tad stronger to depress. Clutch still works though.

Just wondered wat everyones opinion on putting bodykits on a zed ? im not having ago.at anyone as its each to there own , but in my opinion they are a lovely looking car and dont need big stuck on bumpers and skirts !!! Or do some people just go ott ?? Again no offence to anyone, im the one who will probably be out numbered on this :) discuss

ive read somewhere on here that the skyline diff is the same as the na diff but stronger?? Will the diff bushes fit the zed?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POWERFLEX-REAR-DIFF-MOUNT-BUSHES-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R32-R33-GTR-GTS-T-/310355805558?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4842a5c576

Went for a drive down to lincoln to go pick up my new engine rear cover from gonzos. All has been ok(ish) over the last 900miles ive done since putting car back on the road. On way home i got about 10mile from lincoln when i see steam coming out from bonnet and i think the dreaded noooooooo. Turns out the turbo waterfeed hose had split and to try and get to and repair at roadside is not a good thing. Luckily after making a couple of calls i had some help with people bringing me some tools(thankyou gonzo) and water in bottles from my friend mark. 3hrs later from seeing the steam it was all fixed and back on the way home again. Alll i can say is although it was…
