right i had a problem yesterday when my zed was started from cold over night where it would not run boost or drive at all really. anyway i found a boost leek on the boost gauge which i sorted and the zed seemed to be going fine and was also fine when left for 6 hours or so which like a fool i thought i fixed my zed, however i started my zed this morning and i had same problem as day before! so back to square one! anybody know what controls the cold start idle? or what could be the problem. its a tt z32 with i belive a serious 2 ptu upgrade thanks dave

happy april fools day

Got my mot in a couple of hours and just realised the horn isn't working! It worked fine before the car was off the road :gun_bandana: the horn relay itself doesn't click, I've checked the engine bay 10a horn fuse and it's fine. Is there one in the kick panel which is related? The wires are all on the horns fine. cheers David

Hi All, Does anyone know somebody who can travel to Gainsborough area to do some work on my Z. It needs the following after being sat all winter: · New discs and pads · Oil change and filter · Battery fitting · Coil adaptors renewing · Spark plugs · Full MOT preparation · Front and rear strut braces fitted · New Alloys fitted (18’s wohoo) · Anything else I can think of along the way!. It’s all a bit rusty around the wheels so may need some scaffold poles on the end of the spanners! Payment will be in cash agreed beforehand and adjusted accordingly as the job goes on and new work emerges. I need it doing in the next few weeks and at…

Got them with my last Z, they are new. Are they the turbo oil return pipes that usually go or something? :wacko:

Does anybody know anything about these? Have google'd it but cant find much info. Basically, my breaker has one, and im wondering if i can use it on my car. I dont know what its meant to run with tho. Turbos, injectors etc I assume nismo 555cc injectors, as thats whats on the car, but what else? Cheers

Hi mate, i know ive asked you before, but what did you paint your white zed with? You put a link up before, but i cant remember where. Cheers

i was looking at removing the stndard water temop gauge from the cluster and fitting an aftermarkrt(more reliable one) i take it this is simply a case of removing the cluster popping the old one out and popping the new one in and using teh existing cables? does anyone produce a combined oil and water temp? seems a good idea. im guessing taht would require a sandwatch plate and sender tho? final question what exactly should i be looking for gauges wise? any spefic types to look for i want to keep teh look fairly stock and dont want to brake the bank

Hi, anybody out there able to tell me what size , type and thread . brake line fittings will be needed when i change the corroded hard pipes on my 93 tt 300 ZX ???? also will it be the 3/16" brake line i should be using ( i know its advised to use Cunifer) thanks Neil

Well this morning i drove my 300 zx and it was messing about loads! no boost, wouldn't idle, wouldn't rev, wouldn't drive slow or fast!! i got it to my garage and couldn't see anything wrong however i had a slight leek from the boost gauge pipes and one had collapsed so i try to change the pipe however as soon as i pulled the pipe of the valve the valve snapped (Drivers side wing under windscreen) i have now blanked this pipe off and the car seems to be running ok would this small valve cause all these problems? or is it where it was cold and there is something else i need to check? also what oil should be in the car? it has 15 40 as that is what autodata recommended…

need to replace some badly corroded brake lines, does anybody have a set of brake pipe bending pliers that i could beg borrow or steel, ( i have a decent flaring kit allready) thanks Neil

i was going through byfleet area yesterday morning between 08:30-09:00 i drove past you in my black one,shed loads of traffic...i did put my hand up but not sure if you seen me?

hey guys, i bought a new front bumper and the spaces for the sidelights/ indicators are long like the fog lights. is it just a case of cutting holes where the bulbs go in and using wire or clips to secure them in. cheers

I was working in the boot area of the swb yesterday and was about to take the spare wheel out and I thought it look a bit flat So took it out and found this small pouch And inside found this small compressor Plus the space saver looked so cute lol Do all swb zeds have these space savers with compressors and do some lwb have them?

Let's say one of the pipes that went to the actuators fell off (just one) what would the boost read? Would it run at all?

Some of you may recall the Green TT has been off the road for a while...Well it's risen again again like a phoenix so it's been rechristened...

just wondering what parts on a LWB tt cant be transfered to a SWB tt, as need to no which parts to sell off my LWB

Are the normal spark plugs ok at higher boost rates, ie upgrading to 14/15 psi and also is there a 'wrong type' to get if running higher boost?
