What would cause the det sensor to melt as ive been stripping the spare engine and the det sensor is in a right state. The engine failed on the head gasket Marty

I have standard front brakes, is there a way of upgrading that wont brake ;) the bank?? I had Brembos on my last TT but they were already on it, fro m a Skyline I was told...they were really good. I have after market Fuel 5 Alloys as well, I am wondering if the offset will be a problem. The discs are grooved ,not sure about the pads, If you stamp on the brakes, takes a while to stop. Not that good.... karl

just wondering if anyone can tell if these are actually for a 300? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/coil-over-suspension-springs-nissan-possibly-300zx-/160429323289?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item255a553419#ht_500wt_968

Been trying to sort out my rear fogs for the mot, now the side lights do not work and main beam seems to be stuck on. Looked at fuses none seem to be blown, any help??

Been trawling youtube Japan again. Thought you guys might want to see something a little different from the usual Z stuff on youtube. Japan's roads are cool! Black one is a little 'eeeoooow'. This is lovely...little too much colour co-ordination, stickers and coloured b-pillar, but the rest looks great! Crazy dash!

Passed again :). Was getting a bit worried though he was on it for nearly an hour and gave me a big list of advisories. Nothing serious im glad to say.

Well I have sold my zed n/a auto, to my brother, so Iam now Zedless but Iam hoping by christmas time I will have the Z I want a TT manual, I listened to your advice in the end and in stead of doing the conversion to a TT manual, it would be cheaper and less hassle just to buy the car. Thanks Mark

Why!!!!!!!! cannot believe whats going on with this car!!!, checked fluids and spot on took it for a drive to see if this would sort and .....no it never:angry: Also when i am in moan mode the car will not tick over poss due to an air leak. Can i use my boost leak detector with the dual pop set up???

im runing my tt at 14psi boost, some times i think it spikes and goes up to 15psi then goes in to safty boost mode. could this be because it is not geting enough fuel? so my question is will bigger injectors cure this? any help is much appericated

Legrath? lol :tongue_smilie: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-300zx-real-carbon-fibre-doors-swb-1989-onwards-/150441450446?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2307025bce :bow:

can anyone recommend a good car cover for the zed. I simply cant afford to put the car on the road it only needs tax but im refusing to tax it when i wont have the money to put petrol in it. So looking for a car cover to tuck it away up the back of the drive while i decide wether or not to sell it, any suggestions or links to them are greatly appreciated.

I just finished work, and after having a particularly hectic, frustrating and quite worrying evening i went to go and pick up the other half from her dads as she had got too drunk to to drive home. I swung the car round and as i was reversing onto the drive i managed to scrape down the side of my passenger side skirts on a hidden rock which was sticking out of the grass verge. Its scrapped quite badly, taking off the paint and leaving the fiberglass showing from underneath. :thumbdown::thumbdown: Any tips for sanding, sealing and painting? Not too bad really, but it was kinda the final straw after the night i had.

Just bought me an exhaust, prob is i have nismo headers and the O2 sensor is now located in the decat on the existing exhaust, prob being is the whole exhaust is a custom jobbie and every joint is welded so i need new de-cats Q i ask does the Japspeed NA decat have O2 sensor bungs in them as it states on the website? is that a decat silencer ? and would it be a prob as my new system (cough veilside) is 3"? cheers

Last night got a very heavy waterleak above passenger side turbo and running down side of gearbox when engine is running. Totally inaccessible I cant even see the leak source under the car. I think it needs to be towed to a garage and gearbox dropped to get to. Any Z garages near Surrey / S.London im SM2 area. Thanks

HI All, I'm gonna need some front brake pads for my Z. J-spec N/A Auto, 1995. Anyone know how much they are and where to go for the best deals? Quick fit advised they were getting low (which i already knew) and quoted £86 based on the UK pads (lifetime guarantee apparently). I think this is way too high so thought i'd ask on here :) Peter

Well first off, took the car down to my local garage to get them to give me a hand, getting the new exhaust on, managed that, and booked it in for the MOT. well went and finally filled it up and gave it a good run, god is it quick. specially when the turbos get going, gear box is smooth, think i have a warped disk on the front as i got some shaking when braking from 70 down to 40 where it subsided. any way good thing is so far since getting shot of the old exhaust, i have no smoke :clap::clap::clap::clap::thumbup: anyway picking her up Monday so can let you all know if she passes or not. tbh I'm expecting a few advisories, and fail on one part.
