Is it just me or is there a sudden abundance of cruise control stocks on eBay at the moment ? I know that there all for left hand drive but could they be converted somehow for the uk zeds ?

Has anyone actually tried this as a means of reviving them? If so and it works i'm gonna go get me some. Or if I can find it just nut oil as i'm sure it's the actual oil that would work.

after getting hold of a new BMC, i have gotten a little confused as to which pipes go where :-( i labelled most of them up, but for some reason, missed two out! there are two thi steel pipes on the right hand side of the engine the rubber hose that connects to the top steel pipe i labelled, but not the bottom one. please can someone help?

How to distinguish gearbox, transmission, diff TT from NA? What's differences ?

I dont know about anyone else but I have always found the zed handbrake to be shite. Both of mine were always rubbish, and everyone elses ive ever been in has been a pull till the handle faces the sky routine and hope for the best. Anyway, I thought it was time to get this sorted and took it to a local garage, more mechanical than anything else but they are good honest guys and know a thing or two. Turns out I had a snapped handbrake cable (obviously not helping!) so they adjusted it to be as good as it could be one one whilst I found a set of spare cables. Which I managed fairly quickly (bearing in mind its short wheel base so a bit of a pain!) So I've finally …

In Tomorrow............:sweatdrop::sweatdrop:

I expect the answer to be no.. anyways.. Since buying the car Ive been getting some feedback from back passenger side. Finally got round to checking today. Apart from a little play in the tie rod end, nothing else. When putting the wheel back Ive noticed a really finally crack in the alloy, its near one of the bolts. Is it possible to fix a break in alloys these days? or is it a new set needed?

New series on now ;)

As above. I think i have the wrong one fitted. What amp hours do i need and how much would i expect to pay ? Also whats the best way to keep it charged as i have sorned it untill spring but need to be able to move it in and out of the garage at weekends.

Thanks for all my birthday messages on the other birthday thread :wink:, just thought i would share this picture of the balloon my mum got me....not quite....... but nearly a 300zx

My mate just sent me this picture, cant remember seeing a matt black plenum before, the engine bay looks really good, even if it is lacking colour!

I am not going to renew my subscription this year. I have had a good time over the last 7 years, but having sold my Zed due to not being able to drive anymore because of my medical condition, I have decided to let my subscription lapse. I will still be here as a registered member.

Does any differences between UK TT and NA jap import??? Is the suspension system is the same? Is the gearbox exactly the same? Any other differences?

Hi all, I had a manual gearbox change a few yrs back and my speedo has never been right since. I have alot of rumours that there is an issue with the signal etc and a need a resistor somewhere. Or could it be the speed sensor as sometimes it works then sometime it don't, then the steering goes tight i (the norm effect). Its annoying as my old auto box had a new sensor on and no problems.:cursing:

I had my bumper changer years ago and my temp sensor has never been right since. Where is it and what does it look like. Cheers

Just a quick one to say i am still in the back ground. Never made JAE FFS:sad: but things are getting better...just. I will appear soon. Hope all is good everyone. Take care driving the weather is getting to the stage of ooooops. Lets have one this year!!!! Just a couple of pics to say im still at it LOL Managed to clean the car yesterday :tooth:

if only i had the time to play.......

Might be a daft question, but out of curiosity is there a nissan equivalent of the 'paperclip' test on vauxhalls that some of you may be familiar with, whereby you bridge two pins on the diagnostic plug with a bent paperclip or similar and the ecu fault codes are flashed up by the engine management light blinking in a set sequence that translates into fault code numbers?.

This has been going on for quite a while now, and slowly seems to be getting worse. The idle revs are hunting quite badly majority of the time although not all. (no correlation between engine temp) and it seems to be quite sluggish through the range when giving it some poke. Then last night for some strange reason as i was pulling out of a junction I gave it a little bit of boost but it didn't really seem to go anywhere. it did sound quite strange and it kicked a cloud out of the back. tried it again when i got it into second and the same thing happened. but then a couple of miles down the road and the problem seemed to have disappeared. When the idle revs are s…

how much and where from and how easy are they to fit thanks

Well after buying some coilovers a while ago i finally got round to sorting them out. Still waiting for 3 new spring seats and 1 lock nut from tien but there on back order! before And after

Anyone????? Was nice. I was in a red artic tanker going round a roundabout if ya saw me. Oh ya baby

91 jap import TT LWB looking at my exhaust there are two braded lines going into the side of the cats. these lines then dissapear into the cabin though a rubber hole. i assume they are sensors of some kind? I have tried to find a reference for them but with no luck, so hence the post. cheers
