Swadee Krupp! My Zed has had a bit of attention spent on her lately but she has this slightly irritating gearbox issue. She is a N/A with and Autobox '1990 but when I boot it a bit it sounds like the limiter is kicking in and sometimes she wont change up the gear? Has anyone any solutions? I have changed the plugs recently, and shes had a service at Nissan. It seems to be worse when shes warmed up?

Ok anyone who has a series I knows how frustrating it can be that the heater vents are automatically controlled so you have no choice where the heat comes from. Series II models have a different set up and have direction control on the vents, series I can be converted using the later parts (ecu and control switching) but can be hard to get hold of and costly. So this in mind for a few ££s and an 30 mins work a little known work around and you now can have fuller surround heat in the Winter months with warm air option at the centre vents. All you need is a small two pole swith and a couple meters of 0.75 mm cable and two connectors. Fit the switch wh…

While trying to work out how to wire my electric fan controller, http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=141436 i stumbled across this, an interesting tutorial on relay operation.

We had some epic rain the last couple of days here in Exeter and when I went to drive my car today it come up with warning lights for the lights, mission oil, and diff oil. This is not what I need when I have to get to work on Monday... Is it possible that all three of these things would go simultaneously or is it likely to be some problem with the electrics? I checked the lights and they were all working I think, couldn't check the brake lights as I was on my own and there were no reflective surfaces :( I'm going to try again in the morning but is there anything I should look for that might be the cause?

While messing about with my car today I noticed White/grey smoke coming out of her, i've not noticed it before I've had a few puffs if I nail it but that's all. The only work I've done was I changed the fuel reg (second hand) as it was leaking. Does it sound like PCV valves or somthing else???

could someone please tell me if we use conzult and nistune for the 300zx and any link for the cable would be great thanks.

195 Euros for the day, 4 sessions, a 5th possible I live about 60 miles away, got a spare bedroom and room for a couple extra cars. It would be sweet to get 2 or 3 or even more Z32's out there. I got all the tools necessary to swap pads etc etc, and I should have some brake fluid and equipment for brake bleeding this week. Only thing I don't have is a quality camera. I'm definitely going, already took the day off. It's a monday. Let me know.

I've just bought a fan controller for my electric fan conversion (yes i know, LOL :D). The trouble is it has come with Jap instructions :confused: Is there a way of translating documents or can any one point me in the right direction with the connections please. Also i presumed i would not need a relay but on page 2 there is a picture of a relay. Do i need one in between the controller and the fan ? Also in pdf which is better quality.

Hi, Received a letter from my insurer this morning saying that to qualify for an agreed value in the event of a write off, I need to get "a knowledgeable club official" to value the car and complete the forms for me. Has anyone else done this and is there anyone on here who fits the bill?! J x

Hi, just trying to get the clutch booster system working on a fairlady i recently brought from a chap on here, but need a little help! The car was a auto, been converted using a turbo box, clutch booster, slave and master clylinder system. Theres a pipe just above the clutch master cylinder fluid with nothing connected to it. The previous owner said this can be connected up to make to clutch pedal a bit lighter (as its quite heavy now!). My understanding is that it looks similar to how a brake servo works, with a pipe with one way valve going to the inlet manifold. Is this the case with this system, or is there need for some tanks etc?, or if the …
