If anyone has the pic or if slickpete sees this im after the pic that shows what need to be ground down on the NA box to be able to fit a TT clutch and flywheel Cheers Marty

Hi all, As per thread title, my door-open warning light on the dash is constantly on. I've checked the door and tailgate switches and they are all working ok. However, the interior light relay is warm to the touch and my battery discharged itself fully a few days ago - connection? :confused1: To me, it points towards a replacement relay required - any thoughts? Cheers - Andy

At about 3.30 today heading towards Maidenhead. On a H plate with gold rims. Unfortunately I wasn't in mine as just dropped it off at the painters.

I started my z tt a few months ago no problem!! Ive converted it to manual and think ive done everything now it wont start it fires then runz but wont accelerate then cuts out ive cleaned the ptu any ideas plz?

How does it go on?? I know it screws on but it's the gaiter i'm having trouble with, I've got to flappy bits either side of the hole. What do you do with these? I tried tucking them in but when I screwed the knob on it didn't look right :sad: What am I doing wrong?? PS. It's a 99 spec knob on a shortshifter, if that makes a difference.

Nice zed on the M6 today you know who you are :cool3:

Few days ago was looking on the ebay for bits as you do, and came across a seller with a few nice items, looking for a deal as you do i sent him a message and managed to get. Chrome PAS Chrome Balance bar Chrome Coil pack brakcets And polished water pipes all as a group buy saving me a pretty penny, the stuff arrived this morning, and im VERY impressed with the finish, quality and shine. :-) dont have a digi cam to upload pics but i will send the link for all interested. Just spreading the word. Aaron. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/tin.munquar/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562

OK, I was fitting seat belts in the back of the 300. I undone one of the struts. As expected it come forward as its pressured. However I cannot seem to push it back in? Have I broke it? Can someone advise before I take the other one off. regards Dave

my all time favourite Z.....just wondering if it's still in 1 piece!

Hi has anyone got a pic of what the bolt looks like so i can search in the many pots of spare bolts i have to see if i have them all? If not wasnt there someone on here that had a load of them going cheap? I know nissans want mega money for them. I heard about the Nismo ones that seemed cheaper but they required cutting down to size. Any ideas? Thanks Dan

does anyone in the uk do this kit?

my brakes have been very poor for a while now, stopped with engine running brake pedal will go to floor but only when the car has been driven and is warm, i assume a broken master cylinder would let my pedal go to the floor all the time?? Cheers, dan

Well thanks to Steams, top bloke i must say. forgot how high the car would raise on standard height suspension, so had to pop the engine back in and adjust the load leveler, plus get the hoist lifting on all chains, these pictures were taken before id done that, the last well being taken after. Next up, fit the new turbos, change me fancy stuff over, and get the new engine back in. how hard is it to drop the front sub frame get the steering UJ out the way and get the gearbox and engine in in one go? as not too keen on trying to get a gearbox to mate with the engine from under the car with not much room, when on my own? photos taken using my phone, as did…

Successfully changed the oil and filter and would like to know the best way to flush the coolant system and re fill. Coolant looks rusty and a bit weak on anti freeze to say the least. Is there any existing posts someone could point me at please?

this weekends gonna be a fit the goodies day got the manifolds to fit finaly and a shortshifter kit anyone fancy comin over to help out a bit there will be brews n rolls

Right guys it was one of those very lucky days where I get to take the z to work! Dnt get many of them.... any way after givin the z a bit of a well deserved go down the bypass and hitting the brakes reasonably sharpish my washer jets throw screen wash all over the car as if I'm pressing them myself , why is it doin this? Any one had a similar issue? Cheers bill

does anybody have an idiots guide on how to correctly Dyno a Nissan 300 ZX TT Automatic, thanks

Filling up at the Shell Station on the H3(?) by the big A5 roundabout. Think it was about 10:30pm...

I currently have a Koyo rad fitted, but it's leaking a fair bit from the bottom (not sure how this has happened). I guess it will need replacing? I had a search and gather that products like Radweld aren't so great for these cars? Can it be repaired? I've been looking online for a Koyo rad, and found this, although that seems suspiciously cheap? Would I be better off going for the Japspeed group buy on at the moment, and will the Japspeed radiator fit the same pipes that are currently attached to my Koyo rad?

Hi Guys, Quick Question, I need to replace my revolution sensor is there a easy way to replace it.. Regards, Matt

found this the other day but new to me anyway. http://z32.wikispaces.com/

Whilst my engine is out, im going for a full paint job. The car is currently black but ive decided to change. There just seems to be too many black ones about. Anyhoos, i was thinking of a light grey. Not as dark as the stock gunmetal, but way darker than silver. But i dont want a dull boring grey grey. :) In my head i see a super shiny pearly grey lol, prob with a blue pearl. However, after hours on google i cant find what i'm after. The closest i can find is Ferrari or TVR grigio titanio or Dodge Viper steel. Does anybody have any ideas? Any photo shop masters out there than can rustle something up? Thanks

Hi, bit of an eventful day today and to cut long story short after a fews months back at home I'm flying the coop again. I'm only young, financially it was a great idea but in practice, hell no ha. Anyhow thats all sorted and I can't wait for the move but my only concern is I will be moving to Sheffield and the idea of keeping my Zed on the road in the city centre isn't one that fills me with glee. As such i'm wanting to make a bit of extra effort and fit some extra security toys and was hoping for some suggestions really. Just bought a quick release boss as I figure the idea of pinching a car without a steering wheel probably isnt the best but anything else anyone can su…

right i got hold of some switches with build in led so i know when there on i have 3 and wish to use them for powering the Antenna as i hardly listen to the radio, and everyone says it spoils the look of the car and one for additional sidelights on the front, and the other for my lights for my rear side reflectors? i dont want to ruin my perfect radio surround of damage the plastics around the clock or gear lever?, where do you lot locate your switches? cheers chris

Hi I'm dropping the exhaust from the cat back this weekend to get at various bits like rear steering, diff oil plug etc, plus to polish and check for any damage, any advice on what I'll need to do a proper job of fitting them back on? new gaskets/some kind of exhaust paste/sealant? Cheers
