Arrrgghh another problem has arrived now, Gearbox not "kicking down" or changing down by its self, and i dont even think its going into first when i put it in to first, as the other day i was in first on the auto box, i set off at a slowish pace then needed to merge so i give it some, and she for the first time in ages kicked down, and lept forward like she had been stung in the arse, any ideas :) thank you

Hi guys is there any pro ice fitters on here that can install my monster Audiobahn setup ? Cheerz Chris

Hi I'm new to the 300zx world and was wondering if to go for a zed or a mitsubishi gto? I've asked around, and apparently the zed can be very expensive and has turbo failures? A chap at work has told me the gto snaps cambelts regularly?! is this true? he advised me to go for neither though??! i have around 5 grand to spend....

Ok so it's took a while to get the cash together, but I'm now at the £1300 saved mark, and only a couple of ton short of the final amount needed for a new engine from zedworld... I'm planning/hoping/praying to be on the road for the start of June.... FAO Jeff... did you get the price for the tow from Skegness for me yet? These next few weeks are gonna go sooooo slowly....

Just test driven a jap import 1990 300zx tt. Advertised on Pistonheads see below http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1655613.htm Car is a cat C. Has had some damage to front wing and bumper, not very serious. I'd say about £400 would fix up this problem. The real issue for me was a loud gearbox wine that drowned out the engine, surely you shouldn't be hearing the gearbox loudly inside the car in all gears. What could be making this noise, any ideas? How much to fix it, or should i just walk away?

well, Thanks to baz first, as i popped up to see him on Tuesday and got a few more parts to help get the Zed looking better internally (baz we forgot the silly clip covers lol) Anyway, new glove box is now in, so no longer have a hole in it, my furry holder is now in place so have a little cubby hole under the stereo to put all sorts of nuts while i work and also collect dust.. Found out what the stereo problem was, earthed it on the chassis and now it no longer turns off when the headlights are switched on. (earth on the loom is apparently rather pants) New chrome slam panel is now in place (my first bit of bling :lol:) Also tracked down a strange …

Hi guys, Boring question I know but does anyone know where the rear washer get's it's water from? Is it the same reservoir as the front or is there another tank hidden away somewhere? The front washers work fine but I get nothing on the back. Thanks.

Ok so i've been generally sorting out squeaky and rattle trim and pretty much got all of them sorted except for this awful plasticky rattling noise under the dash on the left hand side near the glove box. I've taken every loose bit of crap out the car that could rattle, its not the glove box or anything in it but something near it, I thought it might be the heater blower but whether its on or off it still rattles whilsts driving. Anyone else had this problem and solved it?

Just wondering what do these cars do top end ect, Cheers Mark

...I'm looking for passenger side tilt dial and both lift-and-tilt levers. I've tried Items Wanted but no-one has any going. Do I have to go to Nissan for these? If so where can I get the part numbers from?

No less than 4 times in the last 30 minutes of driving the Z. 'Nice car mate' shouted over. Couple of girls in a 406 coupe stopped at an intersection to make the very same comment! It's great having the car in hibernation for the winter as you appreciate it even more when you drive it. Very flattering and it's quite a buzz having people stare and make comments at a 20 year old Nissan!

Hi all, Im still having trouble getting hold of REDBARON he seems to be reading my Pm's but not replying! Does anyone know him personally or have anyother way of contacting him?

Hi just to say a few things about removing the hicas system, absolute nightmare had to get petrol tank deflector plate off first,got 2 bolts off and had to chisel the other 2 off so now no protector plate, main bolts holding the hicas in place stuck solid wd40 and plenty of heat and a strong bar to get them moving,very tight,replaced the tie rods also made the job that bit easier.getting the lockout bar into position quite a job but eventully got it big sye of relief. now brilliant fitted the bypass tube to the front and removed the hicas silenoid easy enough. ye ha no more leaking steering fluid. thats the car almost sorted apart from a respray! just thought i w…

Hi guys, i know it's not nissan related, but in the middle, or rather the beginning of changing the alternator on a 2001 citroen picasso, and having major traumas, just wondering if anyone of you very knowledgeable geezers out there may know the tips/tricks as regards to removing/fitting it, it's really starting to do my nuts in! Many thanks, and appoligies for the french related question!!!
