Anyone got one of these fitted? eBay Link Or can anyone recommend a better product/price? Not looking for anything special/too expensive really as mine seemed to run at the right temperature with the standard rad but it has started weeping a bit from one of the bottom corners where the rows join the end tanks and I'm about to up the boost :) Thanks in advance, James

just a quick one really been trying to work it out and trying diffent things but no luck yet. ill give you the basic story, my old engine let go at about 90,000 so saved up and done the engine swap with some turbos from a friend that had no play in the spindles at all, one was a little tighter then the other tho(near side). finaly got it running at the start of the week on the ramp all run up fine no smoke no rattles, changed the oil and filter after i ran it up just to be sure. then iv taken it to get moted all was fine till i got there about 8miles away and it started to smoke quite alot on idle (white smoke),after it was left to go cold it was moted and was fine no smo…

Having put semi new pads on the front, im now getting a lot of brake squeal under light to medium braking. Also when im driving along and give it a bit, i get a nice exhaust spell in the cabin, regardless of if i have the roof off or on, or windows open or closed, any idea why this could be? exhaust isnt blowing near the elbows from what i can tell.

As above. The wheel is 8" wide apparently. Currently has 235/40/18's on it. Do yas think that's the right tire?

Hello all, When I drive at around 60 mph, the rear of the car begins to vibrate, this goes away at 65mph and comes back when the car does about 90mph? I replaced the propshaft and purchased a new one together with the bearing from Nissan and paid over £1,100, so I can count this out. The car is on an N plate and approaching 100,000 miles on the clock. Can anyone please tell me what this could be, or what to look for/replace? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks Saif

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.

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…
