just been having a look under the car (as u do) and noticed something not right............ the drivers side....... and passnger side.... im guessing a seal has gone? and leaking something?

Spoilt for choice

Do you think these are to big for a zed :wack: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3894888/1994-nissan-300zx-2-2-coupe-2d

Ok, I've got a TT auto and cannot beat a french hatchback in a straight drag, what gives? Are they fast or am I losing power somewhere?

I think my zed is going to be wide arch. thats all to report :lol: pop as meny pics a you want. what ever is in your computer photos please:punk:

What the maximum size tyre i can fit on a 19" rim and 10" wide?? I have 265s on at the min and its stretched and i dont like stretched :turned:

Had to remove your forsale threads as you are no longer a subbed user. If you decide to get subbed again I'll reinstate them for you. Lee

Ok, before everyone on here rolls their eyes and gives a big sigh please bear with me....... :wacko: Now the house move is in full swing I can FINALLY begin the process leading to me buying a 2+2 Z (thank GOD). I just have a couple of questions: Year: What year tends to be the "best", meaning spec' included, known faults etc? I really want to get one with the digital air-con control, and cruise control buttons on the wheel, as i just think they look better (IMO!!!). Will probably be an auto, as I won't be ragging it (and I fancy a change, maybe not literally - bad joke. shoot me now.) - which leads me nicely on to my next question.... MPG: (here we go again…

hi, can anybody tell me the capacity in Litres of a 93 auto TT pls thanks neil

Hi Guys, Anyone know, Is there a difference between an auto and manual speed sensor? And where can i get one for a manual? cheers

It's only been in the bodyshop since wednesday but I'm feeling lost with out her :sad: It's been sat in my drive for the past two years and I've worked on it nearly every day. Now there's just an empty oil stained drive and it's not right! lol Won't get her back until next month, but will be looking the nuts when I do :cool2:

Just to say thanks again to the guys at zed World for all the work done on my zed and linda for the drinks,Jeff you have totally transformed it yet again:D now all washed and polished see you guys soon.

But... the question is... can you see it? :ninja: :thumbup:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160665601986?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 I know they are copies but look nice anybody know if they are good quality and will they defo fit?

I played with my original which was red with a half hearted attempt at lighting it up (I know you can buy them) but I messed it up, took all the red off the inside which made it clear or just glass but I wasn't happy thereafter. So starting searching the old ebay and found this OEM part from the USA for the 350z, it's the 35th anniversary badge/emblem so is allowed to be used on the Z32, slightly bigger than our stock one just enough to hide any gunk on there from the removal of the old one :biggrin: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230685798230 Then you will need these inserts as I thought the black a little bland looking (you get two …

Im guessing its ali... Has anyone ever removed one before. Got a funny feeling ive just cracked mine

I am going to Cadwell Park Saturday 22nd to do a track day. It's a great track for motorbikes but might be a little bit tight for the zed. Still what the hell eh be good to put the car through it's paces again :) So if any of you northern boys (or girls) are up for it be good to see you there.

Well finally i seem to have got my zed boosting again! its boosting at .7 and since i have had the car its only ever been .5!!!! :) best get my self a greddy EBC

Another stupid question..:scared::confused1: Finding it really difficult to get air into the tyres because the valves are so close to the alloys. You cannot get the air pump attached. Janus mentioned there is usually a plastic attachment in the car you can clip on to the valve and extends it?? What tips of you Guys got? And no I will not blow them up by mouth:tt2::tt2:

According to Wikipedia the curb weight of my hard top 2 seater twin turbo is or was 1,501 kg, when I went on the track day I was able to weigh it myself and it was 50kg above this Now before you say it I did leave my wallet in the car but surely not 50kg worth :huh: Fifty pound notes weigh pretty much the same as twenties :whistling: Amps have been added, bigger brakes, exhaust may be weightier, all my led mods!!!!, 30lts fuel, front strut brace, etc, so yeh probably about right at 1555kgs :thumbup:

as above, will be doing mine tomorrow on a manual Jap TT just need to know how much oil i need please.

right after changing the rad thermostat and the rubber front water pipes, ive worked the air out the system and run it upto pressure so far so good. except for one problem, i noticed a drip coming from the bottom of the engine, after some inspection, i came to the conclusion that the upper aluminium water pipe is leaking. where it meets the block, there wasnt a gasket in there so i didnt refit one.... is there suppose dto be? ive used a product called gas tite which was recommended to me fo rthe purpose, i think some of it came off in the process, i left it for about half hour before filling the system up. i did all the others the night before. some where ive cocked up, a…

Well after working on my zed for past couple of weeks im now a bit stuck. I have put a new engine wiring loom in done a water by pass new plenum gasket cleaned all the injector connectors and all other plugs i can get at. Anyway i now have lumpy idle and the zed does not like to start when its cold? It was starting fine before i changed the loom but had a miss fire which has now gone. Any ideas whats causing it not to start? Also it seems to be using a lot more fuel than it used to?? Has a s2 ptu is a 92 tt new engine loom had temp sensor 6 months ago Code 55 on conzult Do these zeds suffer from fuel pumps?
