I can hear it when I'm driving at low speed. A sort of fluttery, squeaky, creaky noise when the car goes over a bump or any uneven surface. It's coming from near the front passenger side wheel. If I push down on the arch I can hear the same noise a bit. I guess it's a bush or a bearing or something in the linakge? Is there a common problem I should check for? I guess the first thing is to take the wheel off and have a look? Thanks in advance!

I have just fitted another speed converter into the car,As soon as I get over 60MPH,the steering gets heavy and when i slow down it still stays heavy,and then The Hicas light comes on I have fitted the red wire from the converter to a live the black wire i have earthed it on the body,yellow wire to the gearboxside of the wire and the purple one to the clock side of the wire from the loom where am i going wrong or does anyone else have an idea,what to do next?

Spotted a Black/Dark Blue Zed turning off wood way lane in Walsgrave today.(Coventry) Anyone from on here?

Anyone else had this?? For some reason every now and then my speedo reads 0mph until I get to about 20-30mph or give the accelerator a boot. I know its not the clocks as my Apexi AVCR shows the same, so Im guessing ECU fault??? any idea's welcome? Thanks Craig

Hi, Hi does anyone know the diameter of the pipework to the throttle bodys? I cant remember if its 50mm 65mm. Im going to buy silicone T pieces so i can install a balance pipe. Also has anyone also installed reducers since installing the Z1s larger throttle bodies? If so what diameter did you use as the stock hoses are very hard to put on. These are the pipes im talking about: http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_18&products_id=3377 T pieces http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-pipe-T-piece-tube-take-off-induction-51mm-BLUE-/120545045954?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c110b6dc2 Thanks Dan

Hello guys I have a big problem cos i build a single exhaust system and need advice which one of this muflers give me sweet sound in my zed :) KAKIMOTO [/img] HKS DRAGER [/img] GREDDY RACING THX. for any help :)

someone on another thread put up a site in japan, that has the beets abflug kit ive dreamed of, changed the currency to GBP and its coming in at just shy of 3k, ok add on import tax and fitting and spraying probably looking at around 5k - 6k in total. Just wonder how much modifications to the original body work would be required to get it on the car. as mine needs the drivers sill welding before the next MOT, was wondering if it might be an idea to get that done, while i save for the kit and get that put on once all repair work has been done. that way i can get the spray job done at the same time as fitting, would just mean id have to drive around with a half complet…

Hi, Been searching in my pot of many bolts and come across these. Are these the correct ones to bolt the gear lever side of the gearbox to the chassis. The thread is correct and after shining a torch in the bolt holes there isnt much thread making me think these are perfect. Bolts measure 25mm in length: Thanks Dan

I am in the process of getting a spare plenum powdercoated and was wandering if deleting the pcv valves was as simple as plugging the holes on the plenum, removing the associated pipework and venting the crankcase/camcovers to atmospere using new hoses and a breather filter or two...... or am I missing something and its not that easy?.

hi has any got fibreglass vented front wings on there z i can get a second pair and just wondering what would they look like cheers trev

.....one Alloy wheel. I have 19' Vortex evolutions/Zito Miracle alloys, but one front alloy is damaged around the stud holes due to the idiot I brought the car off leaving the nuts loose. I am desperatley trying to find either 1 replacement or 2 front alloys. Anyone had this issue before and apart from ditching the wheels, was you able to source 1 single alloy. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys im having trouble with my zed. I have narrowed it down to the AFM and air filter thanks to a quick call to jeff, as they seem to be getting wet when it rains. I was wondering if you guys have pictures of your nose panels and the seals around the front end as i guess im missing a seal somewhere along the lines. I will try and get some pictures of mine up after work. Thanks in advance

Finally thinking about fitting uk clocks, but i need help please: My car is a strange model, possibly series4? Is a very basic spec,97 slick-top TT, no toys at all. Which UK spec speedo will be a straight swop?? I ask this cos i think the instruments went digital control on later models or have i lost it?? As far as i know my car reads in Miles on the speedo and odometer, but dont want that crappy sticker on there, that looks like a paper clipping and felt tip. Two other qs, my model has no boost guage, how can i wire this up if i can fit the UK dials?? (It will be fitted to the uk one, and will look like a fualt if not wired and its nice to have a boost gu…

Got my Total Nissan mag today and three nice 300zx's in Nissan Idol 2012:biggrin: Good luck Alan,Dave and Craig:thumbup:

ok what a day first the drivers door wouldn`t open so i had to rib the door card of the door with it shut then broke the catch at the end of the key barrel there is an afermarket alarm fitted and i think that was causing the problem and then went to sort the drivers window out which was also not working so i replaced the switches and the relay box and the window went down about 4 inches then stopped again it seemed very tight so then i put a direct feed to the motor and nothing only sparks coming from were i was connecting the feed from. so the next question is how to replace the motor is it a bitch of a job,and what should i do about the locking cheers trev

Hi all, As ive changed all my pipe work...by memory im guessing the PCV pipe coming off the cam cover needs to connect to this pipe in the pic? Am i correct? Also do i need anyother connectors to make this pipework work? Thanks Dan

Okay, im going to be installing and setting up a boost controller ( thankyou Nick 300 zx ) , it has 4 avaliable pre sets, question is what should the maximum setting in PSI be , taking into account i have a standard engine ( albeit chipped, HKS filter & mongose pipes ) and it is an automatic. I do not want to run the risk of killing my pride and joy for two seconds of high octane pleasure . so what do you people reccomend. thanks Neil
