a couple of months ago jeff did a write up on how to check and repair front targa drain pipes, now i am unable to find it via the search function, can somebody post a link up for me if it still exists on this migrated site please

As the title suggests.

As above Anyone know the definitive answer ? What temperature should the stat open at ?

any one know what fuse it is for the interior light ,ive checked the light holder its self and comes on when it has 12volts to it ,ive not check the supply to the light but im guessing its a fuse ,everything else works fine anyone had the same problem

Please can somebody explain to me the difference between skyline r32 coilovers and z32 tt coilovers. I believe the rear are the same but what exactly is the difference with the fronts and can they be adapted easily to fit? Thanks

ok I'm having serious issues with my fuel filler flap for ages I have had a slight problem where I have to press the handle down once or twice recently however no matter how much I push down my flap won't open so at the moment I am having to drive with a lump hammer around in my car to put on the switch so I can get out and open the flap when I need to get some fuel has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix this problem? Cheers Phil

Are the Bose boxes different for the swb and lwb? Obviously I know the fronts are the same, but are the rears? Thanks :cool2:

Hi chaps, I'm looking for something fairly simple. I want to get some bigger better speakers in my door cards. Round, and pulled around a little to face up towards the seats (if you catch my drift) I would imagine this would be an easy job for someone in the know. Does anybody have any recommendations for someone whocould do this? I want these done asap. Reason being, i am having a full retrim - including the plastics. I would like to have the speaker mounts made so that they can be trimmed along with the rest of the interior. Thanks

The old girls going to Lee Dents next week to have the manual conversion fitted, and hope to get the Driftworks HICAS eliminator kit,Toyo intercoolers and Bailey dump valves fitted as well.Have got new handbrake and gearshift gaiters and a Nismo gearknob to go on with the manual conversion as well as a lightened flywheel and stage 3 clutch plus other bits and bobs so quite a few changes to her.would also like to change my scuttle panel and sort the vented centre panel for the front end out so going to be busy.will post some pics once its done :)

just realised cos had other stuff on.my stock oil pressure guage shows central readings on cold start up then drops as oil warms up. which is pretty normal. but once warmed up the guage seems to go to sleep . should i be worried or have i a problem elsewhere?

Having owned various 80s/90s Jap imports I actually find it a little odd the 300ZX never had a double DIN stereo as standard. I've seen pictures of people's feeble attempts at modifing the centre console to fit one. Who out there has done one they are proud of enough that they'll post up a picture..?

Still got problems on the NA as originally stated here: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=153847 Not tried the advice given on all connectors as yet as it has been mothballed since posting that. Checked all plugs as refused to start yesterday. Were coked up. Cleaned and fired up fine (though very rough idle around 600rpm and run like crap). Today, i ran a ECU diag and it came up as 55 all clear. Did this 3 times after an hr ECU reset and same result. Then, on each occasion while in Mode 2 i tried the heated o2 sensor monitor. On the left 02 at 2k i just got the EM light on constant so 'open loop' & running rich (lots of black smok…

Not running spigot rings on your aftermarket alloys to correct the centre bore is frowned upon because it put excess stress on the bolts. Thats fine that makes sense. However, if your running spacers even 5mm ones arent they going to have the same effect as the centre bore isnt touching? While were on the subject what is the maxiumum size spacer that can safely be used on the standard studs?

As above, thanks in advance :)

well ...today i thought i'd go see about some prices for paint or wrap. didn't realise the work and equipment involved for a quality wrap! paint was the usual quotes 1000 to 2500. but rumour told me you can get a wrap for 400 ish. well that turned out to be way off. 1500 to 2500 for a properly done wrap! well **ck that. may as well get her painted.

I recently noticed a small patch of oil on the drive where I park my car. Had my mechanic take a look when it was in the garage last and apparently it's coming from somewhere above the oil filter. It's not coming from any part of that area but dripping down from somewhere above. He could look into it further but he'd basically be working blind while clocking up the money he's gonna charge me for labour. Anyone had a similar placed oil leak or does anyone have an educated guess as to where it's likely to be coming from?

Which is the + for the bulb for the lights switch? Mine has been attempted at LEDing before, and I think they were an alcoholic with the shakes, any markings have been melted off, and can't find it in the FAQ.... Cheers, Tudor.

any help i need to get it out the way to make space for my new mani's iv loosend the top bolt and removerd the lower one how does it come off?does it slide up the platlic plate or some thing else cheers guys

This has probably been done to death,but what is its purpose. Is just to add extra earthing to the car and where does it connect to?

I'm having really big issues fitting the rear bumper back to my car. I got a new (OEM) bumper back in November from Zed world from one of their UK TK3 breakers, and the support brackets (on the side of the car) just wont line up! At first i thought it might be the new bumper, but putting my old one back on to see if it will line up end me up with the same problems! All of the screws on the back of the car (below the lights) line up no problem, its just the 3 (maybe 2) on the side of the car that just wont go in the holes with extreme force, then the bumper looks like its on the p1ss from the arch as it comes in far to short to line up with the arch :pinch: . Any advice?
