looked like it was being driven by one of the village people

Nice shiney white zed heading out of town through Archway junction about 7:00pm this evening. Sounded great :)

Hi, When I'm driving around town at low revs (1.5k) at a constant speed, then come off the accelerator, the engine judders and there's kind of a knocking sound from the engine. The only thing I can think of (with my limited knowledge) that's wrong is the throttle cable is slightly loose as the effect is as though the throttle's bouncing? I have a feeling that this isn't the problem though and that's it's something else :confused: Anyone have any ideas? Also, when idling, there's a bit of a popping noise from the exhaust as though the car's misfiring? So i'm not sure it's misfiring when I come off the gas or something. Cheers, Brian

As above, 300 tt jap, red with a smooth ass....... on sunday 18.10.09 at 3.00pm. Al.

Right tomorrow is Tuesday, and im going to be finishing off prep work for engine removal, I've been over and over and over posts of engine removal on the z32, but im still a bit concerned about certain aspects like prop shaft removal at the gear box, nothing seems to go too much into detail, im also a bit worried about if i can get the room under car to bring the gearbox and engine out at an angle.... ooh well wish me luck, want this sorted out tomorrow ready for my new engine on Wednesday. The plan for tomorrow - Jack car at the front and put on ramps - Jack car at rear and put on Axel stands - Removal of all pipe work including electrical wiring from the…

I don't know about anybody else, but my rear wiper blade is only 16" long, which is pretty pathetic as it doesn't clear enough area. I've now replaced it with an 18" blade which is far better but am thinking of 20 or 22". Has anyone else fitted a longer blade and are there any disadvantages?

Now my Z is all up and running I need to think about making it look better lol. So I already have the wheels in mind - Rota Grid Drifts. Its having the bodywork sorted in a few weeks time to get rid of the rust patches on the arches, so I have 3 colours in mind, what do you think? I'd be happy with either, but want feedback, as one may be an acquired taste lol. ;) So - as it stands at the mo (check out the multicolour reds :headvswal ) What I propose: Olive Drab Black White Any thoughts? :hyper:

hi all i need some big time help my engine ecu loom is broken big time falling apart can any one help me or got any ideas where i can get second hand or new many thanks

red zed with full body kit heading towards Ascot, i was going in the other direction, i did flash but, i was in the other half's 350z... was it you?

I thought head gasket was gone on my z31 a few weeks back, water pissing out the side of the engine...it was running fine and got me home, I started it up a few weeks later and let it idle for a while, no water coming out but it did start to misfire by this point. Started it up last night and took it to garage without any drama except this misfire. Mechanic phoned me today and said he found a split hose (possible that the hose was water off the engine and when I looked at it in the dark that first night it looked like it was right out of the engine) and replaced that before doing a pressure test which came back fine. Then a sniffer test - all OK so no head gask…

5.30 tonight on the frimley rd.Stuck in traffic,nice standard looking black zed.

Hi im still working on the engine:headvswal Can anyone tell me what this hole here (Circled) is needed for ??? Also just wanted to double check does it look like a oil restrictor is already in place?? Im sure the restrictor in my hand has to be fitted but would just like to see what you think?? GT28RS. Just one other thing ive deleted the water pipes on the plenum that also connect to the throttle bodies. How can i still water cool the turbos aswell as oil cool now the pipework is gone?? Thanks Dan

my new 99 spec bumper came today, over the moon with it but need some 99 spec indicators if anyone knows of any? dan.:dance:

Here they are!:dance::nana2: two more in next post.....

Looked on the search and help parts of the site but can only find the worded help guide. Could someone help me find the photo guide link please. Also massive thanks to Jefftt for the speakers, Your a top guy.:)

today whilst stood still on idle my speedo went up to 100mph wobbled a bit and then went back down, if i pressed the horn it did it again and a bong noise came from inside the car as it did it what the hell is this lol

Yup another buzzing sound problem :( High pitched buzzing noise, if I stick my head under the rear bumper sounds like it is coming from inside the fuel tank or up and behind it. Hard to tell exactly with the exhaust noise going on. Does it sound like the fuel pump could be at fault? Forgot to add that i can hear it inside the cabin if I concentrate - when pulling away.

Has anyone bought the OEM Clutch kit from Z center, and if so is it any good? im thinking of doing the clutch while the engine is out ready for the new one, might as well get as much done as possible, also will these break pads fit my ride? Its a 1991 jap import N/A, i know the're cheap, but i just need something to pass me buy till the beginning of next year.

As usual was in a favorite haunt of a pharmacy talking to the staff in there... To my ears came a very familiar sound - a 300zx starter motor! Couldnt seem much of you as you drove away apart from a very nice looking dark blue car, im sure it was automatic and had some fabulous alloys!

ok not really sure what these are but basically looks like 2 sensors that are hanging down underneath the car. for the exhaust? they about inline with the doors underneath 1 on each side. what are they? where should they be? and what would the effect be of them not being there? i know its a little vague any help will be appreciated

Mmm... I love 99 spec rear lights but these do look sexy too eh? Jeff TT

Ive had the zed for a few months now, and its been in the family for a good few years. Never even hinted at a problem before, been perfect in every way... Then today out of the blue at 60 theres a bang and some horrible crunching sound and loss of power. Seems like overdrive is completely gone as is reverse... and 1st and 2nd make the crunching noise :( Looks like its not going anywhere in a hurry now, what are my options??
