Last year my swb tt auto started to play up on full throttle. I checked connections etc and still no joy. So I purchased Series 1 & 2 PTU's. I have just got round to swopping over series 1 PTU. Everything seemed a bit better, but as soon as the temperature increased , back came the lack of horses. It seems to be a missfire, but no smoke. If I drive it gently it seems to be oKish, but then if a blip the throttle hesitance and a missfire. It ticks over allright. So maybe 2 faulty PTU's? or something else. Is there anybody near Andover who has a diagnostic set up? I would book it up with Zedworld, but I'm worried how far it would get and what damage might be incurred.…

Ok, this thread is 6 years old so pretty likely to be a repost lol. If so, my bad. But wow! http://passionford.com/forum/pictures-video-and-photoshop-forum/131886-300zx-engined-escort-from-cyprus-new-setup.html

Ok so after a lot of trawling i decided to take the plunge and buy a z32 after a string of hondas/skylines etc... found a peetty much mint uk auto tt for 2.4k with a new engine 7k ago!

im confused does anyone know a Richard magson? from Buckinghamshire. purely because i got a missed delivery yesterday, got all excited it was either my interior or my decats, then it turned out to be a small box with 2 dirty 300zx filters (std) ones in it??? its got my name and number on the box but i don't think i know anyone in that area? just really confused me as someone gone through the effort of next day delivering these, i assume they have gone to me by mistake.

saw it at the big roundabout in manor royal yesterday about 1:20 ish, didn't get a good look at it as i went past in my zed on the way to work, gave it a beep and a nod but don't know if you noticed lol.

Morning guys hoping you can help or shed some “light” as the case may be….. Got my H3 HID’s delivered last night. Good stuff Went to fit them and everything but when it came to clip them in to place the clip isn’t pushing down on the bulb to hold it in to place. I removed the hid and compared the bulb and it looks like the original H3c bulb has some kind of “wings” that are between the bulb and the base which make the base sit higher in the little channel thus allowing the clip to push on the base much sooner. Has anyone else experienced this? More to the point, has anyone got a good fix? Rather than spacer the base upwards and bring the hid light…

Well thanks to Lee Dent and Sussex Stu, I have my Zed performing like it has never done before, its quicker more responsive and performs very well. Now, the only problem left is it still misses a beat now and again, and hunts sometimes. This is more common when it is hot I think. I do have a greddy system in my car, and have been told it needs setting up correctly which I have in hand now.....would this cause those issues, or is there something simple I should look at replacing..... Thank you

a bit OCD but can the glass be removed from the front lights easily? fitted HID's today and it shows up the dust inside the light unit, need it clean !

As I recently changed my seats to leather, I wanted the armrest to match. As a SWB armrest in leather seem hard to find, I plumped for chancing a LWB one and making it fit (they are about 20mm longer). As luck would have it, Mackam Maz had a LWB one up for sale in good condition and at a nice price, so I thought I would see what I could do ... Thankfully, for once, Mr Nissan kindly didn't redesign the whole part ! After disassembling we find all we need to do is a bit of hacksaw action and we can fit the LWB top section onto the SWB base with very little problem :) Peel back the leather and mark it up: Cut it off: Trim the leather…

hi guys, i have had a couple water pumps fail and i think they have been down to my viscous spinning and wobbling about, Problem is tried another viscous and all seems ok, exept the viscous is really loud exspecially when i come off the throttle on the over run, its all you can hear, is this normal drove a few zeds and never heard the viscous so loud before, do you guys think this one is sticking a little and working to much, or do you think i have drove a few zeds with weak viscous, Also have a problem if i put my foot down the car go's to around 3000 revs then pauses for a second then go's again for a bit then pauses, at what seems the same revs in e…

Just passing a house the other day and noticed a black z on the drive here. Any who's registered?

is this suitable to use in the zed, i use this regularly in "normal cars" to clean injectors and reduce emmissions but is it safe in the z?

It's from my Racelogic TC and I'd like to get the correct crimpers for them but haven't got a clue what they are. The total lenght of the crimp is about 2cm. Any help would be great :) Cheers PS Sorry for the blurry pic....

Wonder if you guys could help me, whilst the past decade + of business has been a constant learing and relearning of new ways to promote and keep the best service available I am always keen to hear others views. Below is a series of pm`s from a customer who I concidered had received a good service with a fair price and tech help to boot. Unfortuntately there has been a problem a few months later that to be fair has not been substantiated by ourselves but as usual we take things as we are told as there is no reason to think other wise and so offered tech support and advise and later a replacement part, to keep cost down for us we sent the part by Royal Mail not …

Hi Guys, Do any of you have kids that go in the back of the 300? Reason I am asking is the seat belts in the back are not normal like the ones in the front of the car. The ones in the back just strap over you waist as it were is the best I can describe it. Now the booster seats - don't go in the back very well due to the shape of the seat. So I was wondering does anyone know if I can just have the kiddies in the back with the seat belt fastened and no booster? As I thought the booster was for the type of belts in the front of cars. Any help appreciated. regards Dave
