For the electrical/audio minded people i currently have a humming in the speakers when the engine is on and this alters with RPM. Now it wasnt there before so has to be something recent that has been fitted maybe. Could it either be that i have a RPM signal wire that goes to nowhere currently as it was for the 4in tacho or could it be that the RMP signal wires for the Bee R pass over the speaker wires behind the stereo? Its another one of those pains i have to sort but i dont really wanna have to cut the Bee R wires out just to see if it goes away. Also have RPM signals for the Apexi rev meter and HKS turbo timer passing over the same direction. Cheers …

Managed to drain the coolant system via the drain cock at the base of the rad, a bit brown and had a bit of sediment in it. Flushed it through with the use of a hose pipe until the water ran clean. Trouble is, I can only see this flushing the rad itself.:confused1: Should I have removed the drains from the each side of the block? I am struggling to convince myself that I have actually flushed the engine at all!! There must be a better way? surely.:helpsmilie:

I like the fact they have the indicators in them but im not sure they will make my car look over the top lol as if it doesnt anyway (see my rides) can I have some opinions please I know the topic has been covered before but id like opinions on should they go on my car or not. cheers Craig PS reason im asking is car will prob be up for sale in the very near future unless i win the lottery first so looking at fitting or selling the bits I have in the shed.

I'm looking to get a 99 spec fibreglass bumper sent to me but I need to know the dimensions and weight for a currier company. Anyone know them?

quick one just ordered some new hids for the zed. What colour should I get the place has just asked me? At work at the minute so can't look. I don't want it to be blue, as close to White as it can be. Thanks

Just bought another Zed TT lwb auto black with leather no mot or tax ...electrics issue since an attempted theft.... Collect on Saturday and will post pics to see if anyone knows it.

Do the above items advertised on 'ebay' fit both UK and JDM models? Ad says UK/Euro only and may not fit import models, is there a difference in indicators? Cheers!

What is the forum opinions on these injectors.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370496223532?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Cheerz, Alz.

seem to have a airlock on my drivers side turbo bypass water pipe, when the cars up to temp and you switch the ignition off, you can hear it bubbling any ideas how to get it cleared. i cant take the pipe off and fill with water as all it does is leak out of the pipe it connects too.

I'm just curious, has anyone fitted a different internal mirror to the normal zed one??

any one know the part number for a powersteering belt 1995 N/a mine just took a hissy fit and snapped cheers

Hi Guys, are any of you having problems with your hid`s flickering? I had just one side that kept flickering a few months back, but now both are flickering soon after lights on and then they just go off!! If I turn the switch off and then back on again then they do the same thing, ....light up...flicker for a few seconds... then go out :(((, yes they were cheap e-bay jobbies,. but only 12 months ish old any fixes i can do? , or anywhere i can buy spare ballasts?(if that is the problem) Cheerz Daz

Been away for a while, just seeing how many N/A owners still exist. There used to be around 10-20. Raise ur hands:gun_bandana:

Hi All my water pump decided to eat itself at the weekend so it needs replacing. ive dropped it at a garage to do that I know as I spent ALL weekend on it putting divorced downpipes on n full japspeed stuff back. he has said itll be - 120 labour 68 for pump and 15-20 for belt. All sounds about right to me I just wanted to check. I would usually do this but I REALLY cant be bothered especially with the state my hands are in from doing the driver side top bolts on the turbo elbows. gotta be a bloody contortionist to do em!!

Hey, can anyone tell me if these will these be fine in an NA? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-x-NGK-PLATINUM-PLUGS-NISSAN-300ZX-3-0-90-PFR6B-11C-/250402525471?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a4d27511f Cheers!

Hey, Has anyone bought one (or two I should say) of these on Ebay? If so, how loud are they? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-200SX-300ZX-UNIVERSAL-BACK-BOX-EXHAUST-27-/150657020960?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2313dbb420 I imagine they're probably the same Db as what I already have on. Thanks!!

right stripped the plenum off again, to sort a water pipe out that came off. coincidentally the std clamps don't work too well on silicon hoses lol. found a few t clamps so sorted that but their is another air leak i found just before i stripped it back, its down the rear of the engine where the egr is....? right i've replaced the hose on the egr, its not that, when i took it apart i check the plenum gasket( not that) i cant see any other air pipes down there what could it be its really confusing me, anyone know of anything else down their could cause a leak? can hear it when driving (especially as the turbos spoil up) did a boost test using the space save…

Hi, Anyone else using a central 20 ecu, I have one fitted and was playing about with car today, Took it up the road [private] and it revs to just under 9000rpm and was just under 90mph in second gear:shock: Wont be reving that high anymore sounds horrible, Take it they remove all rev limiters on this chip, Anyone else have any info on what else they do to them, The chip seems to make a lot of differance in performance, even without raising boost it seems to rev and respond a lot better to the standard one, When i Put the standard ecu back in it feels more sluggish and not as smooth, Anyone know what psi i could roughly run with this …

just saw this on ebay. Worth a read! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3984Q2em1423Q2el2649QQitemZ250879626673QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEWAXQ3aIT

Hi all, I carried out a cold, dry compression test on my TT tonight, seeing as I was replacing the spark plugs anyway. The front two cylinders gave about 110 to 113 psi The middle two cylinders gave about 96 psi And the rearmost cylinders were better at about 120 psi Not great figures but the car runs well, boosts well and has only just started giving me a rough idle until it warms up. 94,000 on the clock and it appears to have been reasonably well looked after. Looking at previous forum posts on compression test results, I was expecting a better set of results than I attained.......:huh: Mind you, this is a borrowed compression gauge and I ca…

I know it's been discussed in loads of other threads but I'm struggling with mine. I've undone the lock nut on the pedal side of the clutch booster and I need to unwind the fork a bit to raise the pedal up a bit. Manual and searches say to adjust the rod lenght by turning it with a pair of pliers. How do you do this? I can get pliers on it but there's no room to move them when you do! at the rate I'm going it'll be about 10 years before I've moved it enough:blink:. Does anyone have any tips to make this easier? Clutch works fine but the biting point is about an inch off the floor. lol
