May need a top up on my '97 NA Any suggestions on best oil to use :scared:

as i'm still wet around there ears on here still need a little advice... In the process of changing all the rear brake lines i've managed to break (what looks to have already been week) one of the feeds on the diff oil cooler, a friend who has 2 x 200sx's (so i dont believe the little swine) says they never work an to remove it is he just saying that as hes jealous he doesent have one... so 2 questions 1 does anyone on here have an oil cooler for sale?? 2 can the oil cooler be removed without harming the diff?? As i'm a firm believer in things were fitted fo a reason.. or are my worries confounded an it'll be fine??? any help appreciated..

Guys, I have TT auto which I have fitted a NA 5 speed manual box to it,the doner NA 300ZX had a 180km/h speedo and my TT has a 290km/h speedo, how do I get the calibration correct? is it a matter of fitting a resistor in somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, A friends Z is having a roblem. It won't start. It turns over fine but will not fire. There is no sound from the fuel pump priming and no smell of fuel when turning over. The fuel pump relay has been replaced and no joy, The water temp sensors have been rplaced recently also. We will be testing error codes tomorrow and testing the wires on the fuel pump also... Any other ideas folks?? 1990 tt manual

Near the top of the hill as if going towards the Broadlands, H reg in silver with standard alloys.

Dear Z lovers, This is my second Z, a 98 TT pearl white import perfect condition. The ride has been lowered by just more than an inch. The turbos were reconditioned just before the car was imported and I am the first uk owner (only one owner in japan). The problem is that in 2nd and 4th gears there is a 'whooshing' sound coming from somewhere (sounds like under the gearstick). I have considered that this is the turbos but I am not sure, because as i said this only happens in 2nd and 4th gear. Others have driven my car and said that everything feels good, but also do not know what the noise is. Any suggestions please would be really welcome, thanks in advanc…

dose anybody no were i can get a new z32 tt engine please

saw you at 12.10 today in petworth.A nice tidy yellow zed.:drool:

Hi, my 1989 TT seems to be running rich. The fuel economy even for this car is terrible. 10 mpg around town taking it very easy, 15-20 on a run. The car is standard as far as I know apart from Cat-Back stainless steel exhaust system( standra manifold I believe). The 5 inch tailpipe inners are coated with soot. My father pointed this out. Just wondered whether it was an easy jot to tune the car or is an ECU issue??? zind

i bought a toyosports fmic and it didnt comed with desructions , my question is on any given side of the intercooler does it matter if the pipes on the intercooler are up the top or bottom. because after all as long as they match each side doesnt matter dose it?

I have a TT engine here that hasn't been run for a while, the reason the car died was suspected headgasket failure. But amongst my boxes of bit I have a snapped camshaft! Is this something that can happen and what would the symptoms be, or is it likely that some rough mechanic has broken it taking it out? :detective: or maybe madmax tried to fit it. lol :tt2:

Hi guys, can anyone give me a fairly close idea of redline speed in 2nd for an auto n/a ?? Trying to fight a speeding summons. Caught by motorway cop whose camera was defective so his word against mine.( said I was doing 94, but summons just says exceeding motorway limit) My box was playing up at the time and was stuck in second. Engine off and when restarted has been fine ever since. Thanks guys.

Hi, I have a na/auto at he minute, thinking of keeping it as a n/a for the time being untill the car is how I want it then may either go down the rear mounted turbo route. Question is I want to do the manual conversion do I have to get a manual from a n/a or does it not matter if I get one from a tt? Thanks Mark
