i want my wing mirrors to open and close as to the car turns off and on , now were about is the best live wire to do this or is it impossible as you need the switch on fully for them to come out.

I have still had trouble with the car running which has been very frustrating :headvswal Basically up yo 3500 revs the car reall struggled and then once the turbo spooled up it went well but it was very hard to get to that point. The worry was a chip wasn't going to work and I would need stand alone management which although a long term plan is out of my budget at the moment. Whilst working on the car to address the overheating issue I had the airfilter off for more room when working, ran the car up to temp to check on the heat issue but while moving about the car I was surprised at the force of suction into the inlet. Originally I had two smaller cotton gauze filters for…

Can someone please post a photo as above. My targas keep leaking. Despite loads of suggestions on here with possible fixes they still pxxs in when it rains. I'm wondering if at some point in the past the 'A' pillar covers & the trim that the targa 'bolts' go into have been removed & not put back correctly. A photo would help me to eliminate that possibility. thanks in advance!

Right, waiting on a engine crane being delivered, and would like to know if i take out the A/C pump and leave it off will this affect anything else apart from weight and the obvious fact i wont have A/C, will it effect the heating for winter in anyway? also what else can i safely remove that's not necessary as a weight saving exercise? while i have the new engine here.

can anyone tell me how much a genuine nissan cambelt will cost for my g reg 300zx tt ?

Hi, Couple of weeks ago I did a test overlay on the small scuttle piece below the windscreen today - I must emphasize that this was a damaged piece of Carbon Fibre Twill - in fact the last bit off of a roll - and it was stuck to the cardboard role and had been therefore stretched out of line so anyway... First I rubbed it over with some 60 and eventually sprayed it black. Then did the usual layer of resin - waited for it go super tacky - and placed the CF over the piece and pressed it in all those important likkle places ;-)) After about 20 mins I poured a floodcoat of surfboard resin over and left it to dry in my workshop oven. When cured I trim…

I have a water temp gauge fitted but want to change it to another one, is it just a matter of swapping them over using the previouse wiring or would it not be accurate?

Hi Been looking at the Oil Temp gauge , and was wondering where would be the most likely place for the sensor to be placed, (i think it is between the oil filter and the block, but not sure) and how do i get at it? Regards rich

As Above? Just about to buy some HID`S for my z32, It says on the listing; PLEASE ENSURE YOU CHECK YOUR VEHICLE IS H1 FITMENT AS MODELS DO VARY Thanks DaZ

Another day another problem just had the right downpipe off to change the gasket as it was blowing and got a couple of problems need help on. As i was removing the O2 sensor wire i think i may off pulled off a pipe looks like vacuum advance for something. Im not too clued up on all the sensors so bare with me. It goes from the right rear of the engine to a sensor/valve in the centre rear of the engine see pics. If someone has a pic of where this goes or a good explanation ill be grateful as had a look under and over and couldnt find where it goes 2nd problem is i changed both turbos a couple of months ago and had major problems with the left with oil feed. Left i…

OK how can you tell if you have HIDs or not, and where would be the most likely place to put the ballast. as im not sure if i have them or not, i have xenon bulbs in which leads me to believe that i have them, but not too sure.

looked real clean :)

Hi everyone, hope someone can help, when i brake at low speed (5mph) it seems like my struts move slightly, a mechanic said that the problem is movement in the upper suspension links, can any one please tell me where i can get some second hand ones or should i buy new ones (if so any ideas where from). thanks bobbyzx.

Hey folks just been looking at Z cantre`s selection of rear lights and i know there is difference of opinons on here so just wanted to find out which is the most popular. Im quite keen on changing things completely so im not sold on 99 spec rears however with the 300zx lit up this could look quite stylish. Marty http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/index.php?cPath=21_22_41

For anyone who has is thinking of doing a plenum water bypass or just wondered what it look like, take a look at the photo's below, its an old engine from a breaker but had previously been done, I have highlighted the new pipes with red lines. The advantages of doing this is to remove unnecessary pipe work that can fail, and replacing required pipe work with new which is good for future breakdown prevention. Jeff TT

The guy who was kindly going to lend me a engine crane, now cant do it due to buggering the hydraulics up on it, so im now in need of a crane to hoist this damn engine out of the car and put the new engine in. Is there anyone near Wellingborough in Northampton that could kindly lend me one for a day, just to do a engine swap. I would rent one but by the time I've done that i may as well of bought the damn thing, but as much as id love my own, i need the rest of me cash just in case i need to get anything mid swap that i haven't thought of yet. Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

OK I have my modified lower plenum back now -and ready to fit - is it possible to remove the lower plenum by just de-tensioning/clamping the timing belt, removing the upper/middle idle pully - and then wiggling the lower plenum idle pully shaft out of the timing belt back cover hole carefully backwards? Or do I need to strip right back, remove cam sprockets, rear belt covers etc? (yes I already have the plenum off etc etc etc.) :rofl::rofl: I have no EGR to get in the way so...

Does anybody know the best way to get rid of stonechips in the paintwork (without a respray) - I seem to have shedloads on my bonnet and they really spoil the party - especially when you spend sooo long cleaning and polishing and they just show up even more. Any tips guys and gals?

Hi Guys and Girls Just putting the engine back together and I have found a broken wire and cant fine where it goes, think it is the dett sensor. If it is should I just bypass it? Thanks Hope the pics work new at this....
