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?

Hi guys'gals. anybody with a 99spec front bumper...........have you had any trouble trying to fit it? did you have to remove anything to fit it? Just i got mines sprayed etc and went to fit it and its quite a struggle to get it on. So had to bolt it on with a couple bolts and leave it the now until im home from work. 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 ? …

Saw you about 6:55 this morning. Tried to say hello but took wrong road and got lost through some crappy 1 way system. Lovely sounding engine :)

Thought I best get cleaning. Loads of soap Sponge down and rinse So stage one done, now into the garage for drying, claying, polish and waxing, HAPPY DAYS!! Jeff TT

I think I might be a bit premature!!!!

while messing around in the car today i found a damp patch of carpet pretty much in the middle under the brake pedal . lifted the carpet for a better look and the damp area felt sort of greasy . is this the dreaded heater matrix . the damp patch is in a central position on the carpet as opposed to being wet down the side of the centre console . how difficult is this job gonna be for a 6"3 bloke with sausage fingers? cheers andy

Can't use search on my iPhone, Iv got the rad, fan, pipework and half the cam cover off, is there a guide on here? I'm unsure as to what else needs to come off, does the thermostat housing need to come off too?

I'm having a couple of issues with the brakes but first a bit of history. I've refurbed all 4 callipers and put new seals on them all. I've also replaced the brake lines from both rear callipers and some to the ABS actuator as well. I've replaced the rubber hoses with HEL SS hoses all round and finally I flushed the old fluid and replaced with Motul dot 4. The problem I'm having is that the brakes are binding (all of them!) and even though I have bled the system following the manual and no air is coming out, the pedal still feels a bit spongy :confused1: All I can think is that there must be an airlock somewhere? There are no leaks coming from any of the conn…

got a problem with wipers,front intermittant is a no no as is the rear wiper and rear washers,are they on the same fuse and where the hell is it also any idea how much a front screen is had a stone thrown at it from a lorry going opp direction cheers guys

Ordered a complete set of door seals, roof seals & targa seals a couple of years back from Courtesy Nissan. The targa & roof seals are good but the door seals are different & suspect from a SWB - could anyone confirm this? Part numbers on my new seals are: 80830-30P00 80831-30P00 My car is a '93 UK Series 2 car. Any help would be great - what are these seals for & what do I need LOL! :chinese:

HI all, Just thought i'd warn any prospective buyers of this 300zx bumper......well.....not too :mad2: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260649307116&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT It looked great before it was put on but it fits like absolute crap, i'm not impressed at all :taz: . Now it's gonna cost even more at the bodyshop to get it sorted so it looks half decent. Can't even send it back as A: they don't accept returns and B: i've already fixed my fogs into it :( Hope others can learn by my mistakes. Peter

Hi guys. I have one installed but i dont really understand it. Ive downloaded the manual and given it a thorough read through, but its still no clearer. It has 4 modes (levels of boost) an off mode, a warn mode and a scatter mode. No idea what scatter is, i know what the off is. Warn mode is confusing me, when i switch to it it has -15 on it in red light. The 4 modes are already set. 2 are at 1.28kg/cm2 68% and the other 2 are at 1.28kg/cm2 57%. When i floor it it goes to 18psi on my aftermarket gauge on mode 1. I know thats not standard, but i dont get what the controller is telling me, its in kg/cm2 I cant see anywhere if its telling my air fuel …

Dear Zedarians, I have been told that the standard gauges dont fit for my car for some reason :s , and that it would be very hard to modify gauges to fit. Could anybody offer an alternative other than fitting LED's as i really want to fit digital gauges. thanks guyssss vic

Dear Zedders, I just got the isotta pedal set, but i dont understand how im suppose to fit the accelerator pedal. Am i suppose to drill through the accelerator pedal and fit the new one?? probably a stupid question, but im stupid. thanks guys

Hi there guys, Can anybody give me their opinion on these and the seller please? Should I get them they will be mated to an uprated fuel rail prob from Danny at DTA. Or am I better off getting Nismo branded? Many thanks, Rob http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290465234453&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Dear Zed Heads, I am going from place to place looking for a mechanic who has experience with zeds. I want to change my whole exhaust system, i got all the parts, but am worried about leaving it to some cowboys. Please can someone recommend a good mechanic in or around london. Thanks a million. Vic
