hi chaps . ive just changed my matrix over and my query is to do with the bottom pipe with the on/off valve . ive re-clipped the cable in place but the cable / valve is now solid . is the metal part of the cable supposed to slide freely inside the black casing to operate the valve . im wondering whether i may have kinked the cable somehow . cheers guys andy

Hi, I've been trying to to as much mods right now and removal as much as i can when my plenum is off, just being trying to clean up as much of the engine as possable. So, problem is i've removed so much i'm now stuck as to what goes where ! I've removed what i think is the PRVR which is next to the battery, one hose which is still left goes down the passengers side and connects into a y piece. Can this y piece be taken off and a straight joint be put on now ? Pic below show y piece and the thicker black pipe was going to the PRVR. This is the other end which is now cut ! Theres a bunch of other vacuum pipes i've remo…

There I was trying to get the Consult working and I noticed this waving about in the breeze. Hopefully one of you experts will know what it is and where it should be plugged into (or should that be "into where it should be plugged" :) ). This is on my 1993 S3 Auto 2+2 NA if it makes any difference. Thanks in advance - Gio

Hi All. The heaters on my Uk Z32 mirrors are not working. Are they on the same fuse as the rear window, as that works fine? Any other obvious places to look, as I cannot be certain that the mirrors are the originals? The motors are working fine. Cheers

Not mine but worth the money for someone http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-300zx-front-bumper-99-spec-/190462703174?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c58763646 Spoiler http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-300zx-rear-spoiler-99-spec-/190462701554?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c58762ff2

i have heard that phrase touted around recently on here and elsewhere. I dont subscribe to it all all. So here is an example to discuss..................................... The story. Bobgenie and myself needed some nice interior to finish off his new white Slicktop. And a few more bits n bobs too. I also was short of some odds n ends for my own project so when someone local gave up on his 300ZX due to the headgasket starting to go I bought it. although its a J spec Ser 1 it had been fitted with a mint ser 2 Alcantara interior!! Just what Bob needed. Most of the rest is not needed. Its a 2+2 TT auto with a UK rear bumper fitted??? I wouldnt dream of trying …

Can any1 gimme a ruf estimate of what it should cost for a cam belt change on a 90tt please.

Heres a few pics of the plenum off jobbie, I found it quite easy, but still took a couple of hours, the little pipes are a pain to get off and took me a while to find the hidden bolt by cylinder 1!! I broke a connector and the oil filler cap whilst pulling the plenum :cursing: Had a little polish of the rocker covers and got my stuff ready for chroming and polishing :devil: tommorrows job is hide all the wires and fuse box!!:ph34r:

Filling that is , got the front wing blended and then got the side primed , just doing the door but they,re a pain cos there not flat along it,s length they,re concave , a fair bit more at the bottom and then nearly flat across the top so it,s taking a bit to get them blended nicely :crying:

Hi, really interested in increasing the power of my 91 jap import manual tt but not really to sure how to do it... was thinking of an chipped ecu but don't have a clue about them or even fitting one :huh:. I've seen this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-TwinTurbo-400-BHP-Performance-Chip-Tuning-/230534164836?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35ace83164 but not to sure about it. Does anybody know anything about these things who could help? cheers Jay

just went to take the Mrs and little one up to mcdonald, heading up the A45 doing 50, next thing you know revs shot up out of the blue boost hit and in the blink of an eye the rear went, corrected the first part, but then the snap back got me and the back end spun out, after a brief moment of facing on coming traffic, i see the central reservation barrier approaching, so turned the wheel to get the rear to take the hit. by this point car had slowed to around 30mph when the rear passenger side took the hit. Trying to find the camera memory card. but passenger side exhaust is fooked. and the rear passenger side panel has taken damage to the out side panel only. i know…

Is there such a thing as a road side noise test the police can do? Im looking at getting decats for my na zed but its loud at the moment and I dont wan't to have problems in the future. Now it might just be me but my car is very loud and sets car alarms off when I drive past in town now so if its get louder :lol: My m.o.t station told me that the police can give you a fine or make you change the exhaust if its too loud. Is this right? Also will the japspeed decats fit a na auto zed? I remember something about them not fitting in the past Cheers for any help

hi,have just taken some 3 point harnesses out & put old belt fastener back in.where does the cable for the warning lihgt plug in?somewhere under seat maybe?

Hopefully JeffTT or someone might know the answer to this! When fitting the Hicas eliminator bar yesterday I stupidy broke off the left hand connector on the back of my UK Diff! Any idea what the left and right connectors do?

Had a great day on the Zed yesterday sorting out a boost leak I had on the passenger Turbo. Not your normal kind of vaccumme boost leak but where the Intake Pipe join's the turbo, had a leak from the join as the gasket had failed and was sucking in un metered air. The Zed pull's a lot better now it's sorted! Thanks to DannZX for the gasket paper! :bow: Here's how we did it... The black metal pipe that bolts to the Turbo. On closer inspection silicone was used to seal where the pipe meets the turbo. This obviously failed.. Metal pipe face. Getting rid of the silicone and pipe corrosion Underneath the Turbo which was ca…
