As above quick diagnosis to confirm what i think. On pressing the buttom for the drivers side window i can hear a relay in the door but the window aint moving but the passenger side works fine. Is it a possible window amp or motor? Marty

Hello everyone, Need some advice to know I'm going the right direction. The big end bearings on my Z gave up not long ago, so am replacing the engine with a good one. I'm looking to replace as much as I can on the replacement engine while it's out. The followings are the ones I can think of. Please please let me know if there is anything more that I should replace too. Replacing the followings: - Timing belt Auxilary belts (all 3) Rear main seal PCV valves Thermostat Engine and gearbox oil changes, spark plugs and all filters are obvious. Anything else I shouldn't miss out????????? Also, Mr F is the man for the list right??? …

..the AC rad for holes? My A/C has never worked and no longer has any gas in it. The bloke I bought the car from said that he thought it was a leaky pipe that was the problem. Now I've got the engine out, the pipe's all look fine. So I'm left wondering if it's the rad that's leaking.

Hi Guy's, Hope someone can help.:helpsmilie: Does anyone know what this strange looking unit is and what it's function might be.:confused1: I thought of pulling it out but not knowing what it does i have left it. It seems to be patched into the radio:hammer:

Hi y'all, been checking out my tyres and both fronts have seriously worn onthe inside. Anyone know why this is and the best way to fix. Also where do I get the cheapest new 18inch tyres lol

Have bid on this on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-NISSAN-300ZX-GREY-/230606471390?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35b13780de but as the description says no viewing, so bidding a bit blind and taking a chance, is it worth a risk or am i mad :yes: It was on pistonheads as well so i guess he had it taken off him. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2609096.htm

I would really appreciate some advice here. Having missed using the Z topless the whole of last summer due to the new baby, I really want to use it as much as possible this year on day trips etc. (assuming no rain of course!). The problem is that the Targas take up approximately 70-80% of the boot floor space, and even for a day trip, I need to take at least the pushchair. I can't leave the targas at home as the weather changes so quickly! The question is: 1. Has anyone successfully managed to put both the pushchair and targas in to the boot, without damaging the targas and scratching the paint on the targa? 2. How robust are the targas? Can they tak…

well following a few posts im working throught faults on my zed! i have come to the conclusion that my running fault when cold only happens when we have had rain! what would be most likly be getting wet?

Im loving these porka rims and think they would suit the zed perfectly , you can buy hub adaptors to convert nissan to porka ! but am still not sure if they would go on due to not understanding offsets et bores etc etc , can someone give me a simple answer if i can get this to work !! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-PORSCHE-BOXSTER-987-09-ALLOY-WHEELS-5x130-/130486746255?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item1e619dbc8f

12.00pm parked at Bentley garage doncaster, clean smooth tailed in silver, also the bronze one thats always parked up there.:cool2:

The old skool will know what I mean! LOL!:lol: Anyhow,my effort......... OH! and surround no'3 in the making........ :wacko:

I think i badly need a new osr arch. there was a bit of bubbling coming through it and i took it to alocal shop to have it looked at. he said hed cover it up for £200. sounded great, but there is bubbles appearing already, (5 days after picking it up). He said there was lots of filler and rust there already and id really need a new arch. i saw that there used to be some repair panels that are no longer available is this correct? if so how the :censored: do i get an arch?

Just a hypothetical Question really if i was to do a project from scratch on one of these cars surely an import would be a much better starting block than a uk car? with their weather climate and all, the cars seem? to be in much better bodywork condition than the uk cars which have had to take the full brunt of our terrible weather for twenty years when i bought mine i was shocked at well no rust at all on it.

How do I remove the above? I need to get the door panel off to sort out an intermitant window fault but the said trim has to come of 1st, it un clips at the bottom where it meets the the main panel but i'm stuffed if I can get the top part out. (The seat belts are on the pillar not the door) Thanks for looking Steve

Having looked at quite afew 300s on here the rear rubber looks big,im aware most prob have 18" alloys ive got BK 905 Alloys 17" running 255 40 17 how wide can i go cant see width figure on alloy.

Do i need to unbolt the prop thurther back to get it to fit in the back of the gearbox .I only undone the centre 2 17mm bolts to get it out but it was a struggle to pull out of box its a swb thanks.

if so email me at djstorm1231@aol.com this z does have some engine problems want to know how bad lol

Done an ECU check for fault codes today, and having cleared any old ones and taken the car for a spin it's thrown up code 14 (which was showing before I reset the ECU). Now I know it's the speed sensor circuit, but what do I need to be looking at to fix it?

don't really know much or anything about a zeds suspension, all i know is a few days before my zed died last year it started knocking as it went round any left hand corner, noise can from the front left, id imagine its the brushes would these work? or could it be something else? and how easy are they to change? its that and the front of my exhaust (i have no downpipes at the mo lol) that's stopping it being road worthy i think, (and the lack of a working engine but that's another story.)

is it as simple as just unscrew them and fit new ones, three garages round here say its too difficult, and dont really have the time for the 250 mile round trip to Zworld....

Coming out of Mostyn heading towards Flint around 05:45

aqm looking to buy A set of 18" wheels , and i just cant seem to find what i am looking for , ideally i want 5 spokes with a deep dish but there not much out there , i would prefer 2nd hand to save some pennies !! can someone advise me on what other car makes will fit ? and whats the pcd and offset i need ? so far i have just been on websites and done it by make and model !!

i was thinking when i eventually do my tt conversion is there a known smaller aircon rad that could replace the tt one ?

Well after my mate took me out in his 400bhp+ 200sx earlier, it made me realise I really must get turbo power back!!!! :blushing: His car is fappin' quick and I was rather jealous lol... so I got home at 5:30 and straight away got the tools out and started off removing the engine from my white breaker. Only had a couple of hours on it before it started getting dark, but already making noticable progress (for me) :sweatdrop: can only jump on it when I get a spare few hours unlike some of you slackers :) but plan to have the TT engine removed by the end of the week and bolted to its new gearbox and get a few more goodies fitted. So hopefully soon the NA will …
