are the uk screenwasher bottles and pumps different from the imports its the lwb one we are talking about

can you lads on here recommend a performance air filter to replace the standard one on my twin turbo

Well for me anyway! My drivers window glass had a big scratch all the way down, fortunately for me I had an O/S UK spec drop glass 'in stock' :whistling: I've removed a couple of window regulators/motors/glasses from breakers before but thats easy just undoing things until they fall out, its different when you have to rebuild it lol. I've always feared the day I've have to change one myself. :ohmy: Got the door card off in about 2 mins (well trained at that) but to my suprise, 20 mins later I'd got the new glass in place and tested and door card back on! :cool3: It was one of those jobs that made me proud that I'd achieved it and not scared of them anymore!…

Right im looking at these new alloys. they are an offset of 35rear and 30 fronts At the min mine are 40 rear with 275/30/19 and 30 front 245/35/19 , So i know that i can have the same size tyres on the front but what about the rears or will the fail on the arch?? they are tight as they are now With it being 35 vs 40 does that mean the 35 will fill the arch more by pushing the alloy outwards???

Yesterday coming back from Supercar Sunday I got stuck in traffic and my oil temp slowly crept up to just under 100 degrees celcious, I could tell that the car was very hot, the clutch didnt feel right and I was getting some puffs of blue smoke out of the exhaust whilst idling. My question is, what temperature is the oil safe to climb to in my 300zx tt? Cheers, Dan

Hello, Can anybody out there shed some light on this for me? I have a uk 92 300zx tt lwb, And have noticed recently alot of steam coming from both exhausts, ( starts about a minute after start up ) If left idling it will persist for a very long time, If however i take it for a run there is no sign of the steam on my return, I was thinking it must be condensation but if the car is restarted a couple of hours after a good run the steam returns, Surely it all should have been dispersed? I tried removing a back box to see if there was any differance, And there wasn't, Also I'm not losing any coolant, Thanks in advance …

sorry this has probably been asked loads of times before, but which downpipes fit an auto? (TT) all the ones i've looked at are for manual only, i have a powerflow system at the moment but i want to change to my single exit but the power flow downpipes and cat back are all part of one system. any ideas? ill swap my power flow system for a good set of after market auto downpipes lol.

hi does anyone know where the filler is for the auto transmission fluid is please

I guess it's always done this but since I changed my wheels it seems more noticeable and I think it's getting worse. When I go over a bump, (Scottish roads being in the state they are means this happens a lot!), the rear of the car shimmys a bit. I can only think it's like bump steer on the back. As I say it's getting quite disconcerting and I'm getting a little uneasy with the car's straight line stability at motorway speeds. I had the car four way alligned when I has new Hicas arms fitted under a year ago. So is this common/expected or do I need the car realligned or is it time for a Hicas deletion?

ive done the rears, took about 2 hours odd including stripoping all the boot out, the first side took about twic eas long as teh second side, because i knew the method. but looking at the fronts what? im a little confused, it looks like i can quiote simply undo the strut top and bottom undo the central bolt and lift out sideways. but that seems far too simples. any advise? other thing, how important ar ethe gaskets on the top i dont have new ones to hand atm, and didnt fit any on the rear. (prepared for an asking there.) also how tight should the bolts be done up, ive done the rear up pretty darn tight with a 1" socket and spanner. but they arnt torqued up. i suppose i sh…

sorry if there has already been discussed about this but I've was looking through twinturbo.net and spotted this. I don't know performance gains it gives if any but i want!

If anybody is going tomorrow, I will be there wearing my 300zx.co.uk badge around my neck so if you bump into me and want to chat, then do. I'm hoping I can get more members.

Just wondering what bhp a standard clutch can cope with? Cheers craig

My switches failed on my drivers seat and Stu very kindly sent me a set for FREE :bow: Many thanks Stu ,your a top bloke and the reason i dont lose my faith in humanity.

Right, Roses car always did this, so it's not the auto to manual conversion that has caused it, however we did think it would go away when we did the manual conversion, it hasn't! Every time you come to a complete stop, JUST before you do so, it f***ing 'bongs' at you! WTF is it? We've checked clutch, brake, steering and windscreen washer levels, all fine, anyone else got any ideas?

can i have a strosek rear bumper and wide arch rear together or do i need a special bumper to fit the wider arches?

re previous post regarding wipers not switching off have replaced the time control unit and the amplifier but to no avail but think the switch might be faulty only leaves this and the motor itself so am going for the easiest to fit first after all the push wash part of the switch does not work have seen some on ebay but the wording on the switch is not the same as mine am including a photo of mine to show you has any one got one please on the ones ive seen it says high low on the switch above the fan switch

Having been reading up, its seems there are a few guys who need their wheels refurbishing. OK if you single part rims but a problem if you have 3 piece split rims. My wheels are a very rare set of 18" Gewalt 3 peice split rims. I found that i was losing air from one of my rims, after getting the tyre checked it was leaking from the joint between rims. 1. Remove all the securing bolts, mine were 10mm nuts and 9mm torx style bolts. Total of 34 bolts and 34 nuts each wheel, so 4 x wheels= 136 bolts to undo. 2. Separate the outer wheel face from the rim. i did this using a rubber mallet from the back. 3. Now split the rims, mine was held together with a clear silico…

Hi Guys, I was wondering whether its possible to modify the gear stick on an Auto. Is there a kit you can buy or is it lots of work and do it yourself. I dont like the standard gear stick in my TT. 1. Its too high up. 2. I want it the same height as the centre are rest/console. Can it be done? Does anyone know how or where I can go to get it done. Many thanks

Lastnight I stripped my boot out to start tidying up my audio (get rid of the horrible sub box and hide the amps and cables, install new carpet etc) However, when I lifted the space saver wheel out the floor is all rusty. I gave it a good tap in several places and it all seems sound. It dosnt look pleasent and wiped my hand over left my hands orange! What do you guys recommend doing with it? Thanks, Dan
