Hi All As you probably know my nephew has just bought our grey Z. He's asked me what spark plugs I advise ? Not an expert, so could I ask your preferences please before advising him ? Its a TT, JWT CHIP, HYBRIDS, 345 BHP. Thanks

i have one of the stillen nose panels, is it? with the four vents and oval ducts. i quite like it it came on the car but should i blank the holes off to stop my maf getting wet, not that it is to my knowlegde but it may explain why the maf reacently died. cant imagine il be getting too much benifit from these holes in any event? :whistling:

Hi All, I do not know what it is (im guessing some kind of oil feed/return?) but I hate it and I either want to delete it or hide it somewhere. Not my car, just a google pic: Could someone kindly tell me what it is and point me in the right direction of how to do so? Many thanks, Tom

Hi all, new to the scene, long time lover of the 300 and now looking at buying one. I've hit a small problem, at times I need to take the 3 kids out with me in my car rather than the wifes so require a 2+2, but if I buy a 300 it would have to be a TT. From my research the TT (early 90's anyway) didn't have the 2+2 option. Is this a easy fix? Can I get my hands on the rear seats etc from a 2+2 and put them in the TT?

Mate took me out in his firrari 360, it was pretty quick I must say but diddnt feel as fast as my zed (silver streak) was pretty disapointed at the interior to compared to the zed but the noise was amazing, it was an smg model and my god can it rev high, all in all I much prefered my zed, cant wait to own one again in the future.

Have had some prices to remove the stone chip and a dent on my sills , silly prices .can any one put some pics of sympathetic side skirts not the veilside type but more smoother and in keeping with the car . thanks

Hi, i need a clutch for my upcoming conversion - i was hoping to get a good uprated for about the £250-£300 area - is this possible? are the xedy clutches any good - do i reaplce with the nismo spigot bearing or standard (oohh a whole new world of complications) i know the rps is highly rated but i was not hoping to spend that at this time regards dave

Been looking for ages for the twinz rear in black and here`s one they have done for a customer, very nice but suits a white car better :yes:

Has anyone got tomtom on an in dash DVD player??? If so here can I download it?

Ok here is an update for those who asked for weight spec of our one piece propshafts Swb tt manual standard weight = 15.88 Kilo Swb one piece weight = 9.52 Kilo Weight save = 6.36 kilo Lwb original units are around 12% heavier so the weight saving is around 7.1 kilo`s Here is a swb shown in pic 1, pic 2 shows a new unit along side an original two piece unit, pics 3 and 4 shows the quality of the tube weld onto original spec flanges. So as a reminder again they are £225 + vat which works out less than fitting a Genuine Nissan centre support bearing and are lighter too. Jeff TT

Can some one send me a link to the people that supply the air ducts [the ones that go in the front bumper . thanks

I just drove back from golf this evening, and car was driving fine. I pulled over to speak to a mate, i put the car in D and when i pulled away she seemed to be revving quite high and not changing gears like normal (i have an auto.) Then all of a sudden it felt as if she slipped out of gear altogether and no matter how hard i revved no drive or power. (i didn't have to rev hard to work this out.) Pulled over turned the engine off. Started her again and she wouldn't select reverse, but did select D. so pulled off, a bit further down the road same again, out of gear - no power and revving. Pulled over again. Bonnet open, but not a lot to check - levels seem ok. …

I bought a Momo steering wheel off ebay that came with a 300zx boss. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120613175142&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT However this boss is nothing like the fitting on the car. Does this look correct?

Just wondering as it is abit of a struggle and i was pulling and pushing and lifting etc etc............ anyone? Craig

I have but the most biggest smile on my face. I managed to get the injector plugs on properly as it turns out i was on 5 cylinders up until now. The car is soooo smooth on idle and pulls quicker. Then i tackled the DET sensor Bypass....... the car is running how it was when i first got it....... then once bypassed it was a Whole Different monster!!! boost quicker aswell seeing as the ignition is not retarded no more so everything goes quicker :) its a damn beast now and im still only on 7psi. cant wait to get it on stock boost for casual driving and 1 bar for hot days next year. I am SOOO CHUFFED!!!!!

any members fairly local to me, going to jae and willing to pick a rear perspex strip from another member for me? :red_indian: :thumbup:

had an issue with the car at the beginning of the week where it felt like it was running on 5 and a half cylinders and I suspected a faulty injector. Turned out injector No1 was on the blink. Changed the injector yesterday and it seems to have cured the problem, at least to 90% The problem is that I still have a slight hesitation and the feeling it´´s running on 5 and 3 quarter cylinders on idle and pulling away from the traffic lights. Onnce the car is moving and above 1500 rmp it drives fine. I measured all the injectors and they all read between 11.9 and 12.1 on resistance so they should be okay. does anyone have any idea what could be causing this ? …
