Not sure if this is normal, or someone could help me with the issue, but my car is building alot of pressure in the front water hose, so much so that it gets bent out of shape is rock hard and the car overheats, now im not sure if this is normal for the hose to get rock hard. hence this post, now if this is not normal, might it be the thermostat causing both problems? no water leaks, radiator is new, and heater matrix has been bypassed as it began leaking, also there are no kinks in the matrix bypass pipe causing and loss of water cycle.

Hi guys, merry Christmas to all! As a Christmas treat for me, whilst I was running the engine and checking the coolant, my car decided to lock both doors. Unfortuately I only have 1 set of keys and they were in the ignition. Hmph, disconnected the battery and the PTU to stop the engine etc and went to find my spare remote locking transmitter fob. It did nothing. So, I swapped the battery but of course this needs the fob to be resynched with the alarm. This didn't work either, totally dead, presumably because the igntion is still in the 'on' position the remote will not operate the central locking... So, the only option I can think of is to shove a screwdriver in…

Horrible centre badge I know... I've had probs in the past with boss's not cancelling the indicators etc...no tag on the bottom to cancel them.

Hi guys hows it going.. I am a new recruit of the 300zx scene and recently acquired my targa about 3 weeks ago.. I only bought it to hold up some money so i didn't spend it all with the idea of selling the car again in the summer.. However i love it! So that has put a hold to that situation.. anyway I have had a look and my car is leaking oil out the bell housing where the gear box meets engine. There are no cracks so i reckon it is the oil seal in the gear box.. Has anyone done one of these or had similar problems? My car has only done about 80k and the engine is sweet as a nut. Its all clean underneath no rust etc so I cant see why the seal would have gone?? I…

Having had blue light illumination in my pods for some time and as I am a complete fiddler and always seeking improvement, I have fitted a combination of red and blue led bulbs in the pods :cool3: You will see above the red bulb illuminates the red 'heat' graphic and two down I have fit a blue bulb and this lights up the cold graphic bar quite well :yes: You will notice the knob is missing for the speed control so I desperately need one?? Anyone please!! Also 4th speed graphic is missing but this does not bother me as much as the missing knob!! :angry: This next one is the right pod we all have and just a simple alternate red and blue configuration, …

I had 1mm boost jets in my zed when i bought it, but have removed them as i was getting random boost spikes, but have had an idea... What if i was to put a 2mm jet in each end of each pipe? In theory that would still effectively give me 1mm, but with the gap inbetween, might cure the spikes? What do ya reckon? Tudor...

Atfer coming into a small amount of cash i got to thinking about the car that used to be across the road from where i lived, a blue 300zx. Ive always liked em ever since i had a drive of an old bosses 200sx, i felt that turbo kick in and thought wow if thats what this 200 will do, imagine a 300 twin turbo! So after years of pointing them out saying "i want 1 of those" i decided to get 1. I bought my last car off ebay motors and had no trouble at all, got it for a reasonable price, went down m4/m5 for 90 miles n picked it up, reaslising i hadnt even test drove it on the way back! so ebay i searched and found a few i liked, a 2 seaters in bright yellow too…
