Hi guys, I've been searching the workshop manual and the site for a diagram of the plumbing from and to the balance tube. I want to know what the pipes going to the small nipples on the drivers side are for? My car is a manual TT. Vods thought my bar might be a NA version so if anyone can post a pick of what a proper TT manual one looks like it would be really helpful as well. When I was poking around my engine during the week I noticed there are two metal tubes, one on each side that are not connected to anything which I believe to be for PCV (positive crankcase ventilation). Where should they be connected to? Back to the plenum? Cheers

Hey guys looking at various alarms and the better models run a digital signal siren. How can i add extra sirens onto this? What would be the best way to make them trigger?

When i removed aiv and so on I used some vacum cap's made of rubber. When I parked the car for the winter and did a vacum check I noticed that some of the caps had been destroyed. (partly disintegrated). Any one know where I could get high quality caps. Maybe silicone caps??

Called over to ians today to pick up another engine to replace mine. Was good to meet ian for the first time. Had a good chin wag and saw his car which is a very lovely z. And in proper good style ian didnt even want paying today as he wants,me to get it built up and running and to know the engine is good before payment. Top bloke, and proper club spirit.

I have put a complete stainless exhaust system on but with no 02 sensor holes so no 02 sensors plugged in yet would this be why my fuel pump doesn't prime the fuel?

Hi, I have a problem with my new Z32 TT I've just bought a week ago, earlier today it started making a very loud whistling noise under load/in boost. It sounds like a police siren (note/pitch raising with boost and dropping when dropping out of boost). I thought it might be a boost leak but have checked everything I can get to and no problems I can see, and the noise seems to be coming from around the RHS turbo area. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks is advance.

Hi i have a 91 Fairlady Z32 non turbo.... got the 98 spec bumpers, Clear light pack... 18" Rayz Volk Challenge wheels loads of tread... M.o.T no Tax

Yep we own zeds, but what made you get started? Ive had a few fairly quick cars and some total poo, but also a lotus sunbeam, RS2000 mk2. rover gsi turbo plus some others. The reason i bought my first zed. was a mate of mine got me started, when we went on a xmas do a few years back, and he turned up in auto TT, and i had a go. I was hooked instantly, just loved the shape, engineering and the look of the car. When i split up from my wife, i decided to get myself a toy, so i got a standard jap 91 TT auto, whilst being very happy with it, i was on here, and came across my TT UK, both zeds are still with me, the jap as spares, and the UK is my baby. Its such an addi…

on the interior fuse box anyone got any ideas on a waterproof box..just thinking of ways to stop my realays poping coz ov water..prolly need to ad here that no water is running down the pillars just the targas are letting in so much dampness that is cozzing some interior wackyness,,so im wondering if it be good idea to relocate the fuse box and realays to the consol side and make a plastic box for them ..bear in mind the time and date of this post:whistling:

Pulled the spark plugs out my car, had a look at them and noticed there are two different types in there as per the photos. Four of the better type and two of the originals. Have a look at the corrosion to the electrode on the left, the other was just as bad. The corroded ones look like the recommended NGK plug of heat rating 6 for a standard engine and the others were heat rating 7 which seemed to have coped alot better. Both are NGK.

After having a clear out I came across an envelope of chrome style side decals that I was going to stick on my doors, I know this is not every ones cup of tea but old BeeGee Vince and Mac1 have them ;) The stickers are Nismo x2, Brembo x2, Blitz x2, Kenwood x2, Veilside x2, they are in the same style as the Companys logos, not just in standard print (if that makes sense lol) Just shoot an email to secret19762000-general@yahoo.co.uk Will post when gone :) Hope you all had a good Xmas and a Very Happy New Year :dance::dance:

Im toying with the idea of fitting big brakes front and rear and like the look of the D2 kits, but the rears cant be used with the oe handbrake and needs to converted to a hydraulic handbrake, which is a no-no for road use. So my question is......does anyone know of a big rear brake kit with 4 pot calipers that still uses the oe handbrake set-up?. Would like to do both ends rather than just the fronts as I think it may look a bit odd :)

Hey all... i fitted some hids yesterday.. and all is well.. look good. i see more of the road etc and would deffo reckomend them to people who haven't already got them... however i may have touched or locked something i shouldn't as my power steering keeps stopping intermittently along with my speedo ? only started since being under the front fitting the hid kit.... any ideas what I've done.?

Since we bought the Espace and the Alfa, the Z has barely been used with it being winter and under way as a project, it's just been sat in the garage. Now I think I know what's wrong with the Alfa and need to wait for parts, the Z has come out to play for a few days. Seems it developed some all round slow punctures being sat for so long, so just took it to the petrol station to fill the tyres again, my god it's like people have never seen one before! lol

Hi, are the Zeta-S coil-overs still available?, and whats the latest price on a front and rear set for a 2+2 tt if they are? :) cheers.

Not a car mag unfortunately but I flicked through my local pub mag and saw the silhouette of the stealthy 300! Anyone else seen their car in a sly pic? Google earth also has one of my old minis in the exact same spot (I always park in the same place) [/img]

Trying to order or find the standard License plate bracket for the 300ZX; the number is 96212-37P00 if anyone works in Nissan dealer in Uk how much does it cost can I order it? Happy New Year!!!

i may sound stupid here . when i do the auto to manual convert ,should the gearbox ecu also be changed. ? knowledge is power and so far i don't have much knowledge on these cars.
