Hi there, I was giving my engine bay a bit of a clean this afternoon, to make it easier to see exactly where rust is coming through and just to make things look a little cleaner, I noticed a couple of issues one is the wiring going to a sensor I think, water temperature maybe? I'm not sure what I need to get to fix this, is it possible to get just the connector which I can re-wire? The second issue I noticed was a plug found by the fuel lines running across the top of the engine, the moulding it has to keep it held onto it's bracket is broken so its all floppy and I just want to replace it really. Can anyone help me find these parts? or …

jusr wondering if this looked right to anyone, it came up as all clear when i first reset it, then came back after a drive and checked again and the dreaded 34 was back! would like to see some pictures of where to stick it in the ecu if anyone has any [/img] [/img]

When I got the car on the boost controller the peak from the previous owner was 16.7, I beat this and had 17.6 I think it was. I then had someone link it to a pc, or so I am lead to believe and then very soon after I flogged it again and got 19.3psi, giving me loads of power with a view to more to come I thought. :clap: But now I am struggling to get it above 13. 14 or so, it just loses power, :huh:wooshes away instead of pulling me along with more gusto. :huh: What is happening please? :angry:

Hi all, I have a dead clutch on my 91 300zxtt and im hoping someone can offer some advice before I start buying new clutch parts? Problems started when the clutch started slipping on boost in 3rd gear. This very quickly turned into 2nd gear as well and I realised I may well need a new clutch. It only gave me another day or so before it went completely giving me no clutch at all. Up until this point no fluid had dropped in the clutch reservoir so I had no reason to suspect it was anything other than a worn clutch. Upon parking it up I found a large patch of fluid under it. Assuming the slave cylinder has now leaked is this a likely result of the clutch …

Hi peeps, As some of you know, I in the middle of a gearbox swap on my shortie. I need to get things sorted for Japfest2 and only have evenings and weekends to get stuff done. Does anyone fancy popping over top Ascot, Berks to give me a hand on Sunday? The usual Tea/coffe and bacon sandwiches will be provided!! I will also have a new breaker arriving so first pickings will be available!! Tanks in advance, Andy

Had one on my previous car which I really liked. Does anyone know where I might be able to get one as my original exhaust is starting to let go ? To be fair it's 15 years old :-) Thanks Mark

OK guys, i know this has been done to death but i did a search and for some reason brought up just about every thread ever created and nowt to do with insurance. The problem is that i recieved my renewal today from MCE who i have used for years and the quote was not a kick in the ass of £900?? I'm 32, have driven since i was 18 have had no accidents, no claims and 14 years no claims bonus? this seems extorsionate so i did a "Compare the Market" and the cheapest it came up with was over £900?? It's a 1995 N/A too? not a turbo in site. Anyone recommend a good company? Numbers would be appreciated. Cheers Peter

Hi folks, Really enjoying the Zed at the moment, but being a pessimist I can't help but think huge expense is looming just around the corner.. Car has done about 70 thou miles now and smokes once its been stood a week or so. I know there could be plenty of other reasons for the smoke, but I'm already assuming the worst while hoping for the best.. Irrespectively, the turbos will have had enough eventually (I also think the boost has been tweaked on my motor judging by the performance - so maybe sooner than later), so where do I start thinking about their replacement? I'm pretty confident that they'll last until I stow the car away for winter, but I may be asking …

Evenin all, Just got back from a bit of a blast tonight, while the turbo timer was running down the engine was idling at about 1300rpm. Also noticed it when i was waiting at some traffic lights just befor i got back. Tried blipping the throttle to help it settle, but stayed at a constant 1300ish Any ideas? Checked the throttle springs, but not long since i WD40'd em...

I have just been lucky enough to secure a manual conversion kit for my slicktop :gunsmilie: I now need to source a clutch to go with it (and someone to fit it), i will be looking to keep power pretty much standard for now :wink: So i am hoping for some advice/recommendations as to which clutch i should go for? I have been advised to look for an uprated n/a clutch. Any advice is greatly appreciated as it's all beyond me. I just like the way it looks and how it goes!! Thanks in advance.

Hi, Just got a rack to remove my hicas, have seen a kit on z1 with a solenoid bypass thingy... (sorry not sure of correct word) Seems to be a popular thing to do on here so was wondering what anyone has used to connect the 2 fluid pipes together, really wanna get this done as the hicas is pissing me off, i'm sure theres a problem with it so i just want to get rid. Thanks in advance guys, had my car off the road all year trying to sort it just this and a few odds and sods and i'll be ready for action again woop woop

So I need to buy some servicable goods for my zed, namely some rear pads, some brake hoses, some wiper blades & what not, anybody got any preferred quality parts providers that they could recommend?

just spent a couple of hours installing my new led fogs that i got off zedwizz. what a difference they make to the rear end . they are a really good bit of kit . highly recommended.

after some "propper" diagnosis my local performance garage has informed me that i need a new det sensor and wiring lume (allthough i told them this when i dropped it off). they're still taking the piss a bit on getting me a quote, however they did say it would take a full day, so i'm estimating about £600 all in. anyone else had one changed at a garage? or is it a do doable job on a drive?

just looking around and found this.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-REAR-TAIL-LIGHTS-COMPLETE-/270617705520?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f02127c30 Class.... "THERE IS FEW HAIR LINE CRACKS AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PIC BUT THERE IS NO WATER LEAKS AT ALL, STILL USEABLE." ... not exactly the best grammar.. LOL.... they are rough as dogs nads.... and cracks... :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: "hair line", maybe viewed from outer space..... Like the firkin Grand Canyon... they don't leak!!! yeah right as long as you keep them dry... and to top it off he's hidden the buyers... that always ring alarm bells for me, why …

Hi All, When I depress the clutch it drains all the fluid. Therefore, I am shortly going to replace the master and slave clutch cylinder and fit a braided clutch line. Does anyone know how difficult it is to access the cylinders? Is there anything else that I should change/uprate whilst doing this? Many thanks in advance, Tom

Just want to say a huge thanks to a few members. First off is shrek, fantastic guy and finally got to meet him tonight, great meeting him aswell.

Hi all how hard is it to fit an apexi electronic boost controller And is the harness the same for all cars or will I have to buy that separately. Cheers

2 Zeds in 2 days, this one was parked outside pizza express in Chippenham town centre. Was it you?

after returning from my epic 3000 mile trek to spain with relatively no problems i drove the car onto ferry, all ok. When i started car to drive off ferry and into slow moving traffic there was loads of blue smoke out of left side exhaust that had a burnt smell, once car had got on the motorway it seemed ok break it to me gently please Paul.
