Is there a procedure on here for this? My headlight aim looks awful esp on high!

right, was just about to go try to diagnose the noise on my z32 and i thought it ran out of fuel, wouldn't start ,put more in it, it turns over but not starting, was just wonding if this could be linked to the noise, well any one know the common problems? i have ran the pump alot and there is fuel the tank side of the filter, (couldn't get the pipe off the other side, ) its not catching at all, so i guess its either no fuel getting to the engine, or a problem with the igintion, any sugestions??? the z didn't stall it was parked up and then few hours later wouldn't start. sorry for all the questions everyone, i don't know much about these

Is the radiator prone to leaking where the fan shroud bolts in mine seems to be intermittantly leaking, changed top hose as thats the area but still leaks if I rock on the fan shroud it hisses and water dribbles out.. Either way its new radiator time :headvswal

Hi A few weeks ago I had a leak in the lower high pressure hose. Because I had to drive the car from Sweden to Norway I constantly had to refill dexreon fluid. I started to get a mettalic rattle at the end of the trip. The rattle dissapeared the first times when I refilled with fluid. But after a short while the rattle was constant. It rattles less when the lights and other electricity is turned off. Also seems to dissapear when reving the engine(Might just dissapear with the engine noise??) I have now replaced the steering pump with one from my other 300zx part car. But the rattle is still there. Anyone have any idea what else it might could be?

Hey people looking for some advice. My 300zx is currently in a garage getting its autobox swapped out. I was intending on doing the job myself so i removed the exhaust system which included the midpipes, cat and cat back. Im wondering now will it be safe for me to drive the car about half a mile from the garage to my house. I understand backfires can be dangerous etc. Thanks in advance. Rob

Has anyone else upgraded/replaced their 94/95 TT Auto's ECU? If so, which route did you take - would you do it again? Just about to do mine and wondering what my options are. I've got a late model with 16-bit ECU. Am thinking about a JWT 8-bit swap out - anyone know of any other worthy options? Thanks, Alex

Where's the best place to get a non silicone one (upper)? I've just been out for a drive but came home with steam billowing out! Should learn really not to drive it lol

I bought a 300zx 2+2 N/A this week from ebay, on the listing it said that there was a tapping noise, and sure enough there is, they last owner said this was due to it having a oil change and it started about a week after, someone had pointed out to him that the wrong oil had been used and that it needed its engine flushing and new oil and filter fitting. Annoyingly i cant tell what type of oil is in it, but I'm going to be doing a Oil and filter change anyway, the last owner said it might be a sticking valve. or tappets. My question is this. What is the likely hood its a sticking valve? Also I'm in need of a new interior, the one that's in it, has a h…

Guys Had another crack tonight at removing bits to get the engine out on my manual TT. Would really appreciate the following answerd as it will really help with learning the ropes. 1. Do we need to split the engine from the gearbox to remove the engine?. Clearly we need to undo the prop shaft etc if not. But will it all come out in one piece. 2. Does the starter definately need to come off or can it just be dis connected? 3. Is it easiest to undo the exaust from underneath beneath the turbos? 4. Is it easier to undo the engine mounts from above or below. Any tips will be really helpful as we are doing this on axel stands so room is tight…

While refurbing my rear subframe I've found that the ball joints on both the lower arms are fubar'd. Can these be pressed out and replaced or do I need to get new arms?

i regrettably sold my lwb tt a couple of months ago:headvswal but i've missed it so much that i'm doing a 700 mile round on saturday to collect my new one. it's a 1990 white lwb tt and i can't wait:nana2::nana2::nana2: i'll post some pics up when i get it.

Was it you, nice clean white TT, 18" Wheels, rear uk bumper???

right, only got my Z32 a week ago, no strange noises, its auto TT '93, but '03 import, done 52,000 miles, but noticed its started to have a slight clicking noise from under the bonnet, its in time with the revs, not sure its loud enough to be a bearing as my old s13 went through 2 engines due to bearing failure, (ca18det engine are crap and i was putting stupid power through them lol) its low millage, since ive had it its been drive 500miles redlined once for 0-60 timing but not taken over 4K other then that, was told these engine were strong, all the fluids are at the right levels, its never overheated, (was a mates car before i got it) it too low millag…

After a little discussion, i decided to do a simple and short write up on illuminating the rear bumper reflector. If yours is like mine and is a sealed unit, there are 2 ways (possibly more) to get a bulb or led in there. Bear in mind an led is directional, unlike a filament bulb, so IMO you wont get the best light from an led in the normal bulb position, so go for a standard white 501 filament bulb for that position. you will have to drill a hole in the plastic backing, be careful not to push too hard as you could hit the red reflector and possibly crack it (job ruined) so take your time with the hole cutting. You can use a 501 bulb holder, you will h…

Spotted a silver z driving through Dollegau (sp?) in Wales, think it was on saturday evening (19th). Anyone from here?

I just wondered how does a 300zx TT auto (mine) compare to my mates m3? its a E36 standard m3 i know the m3 is lighter, not been in it yet he had just got it ( i know a load of ya are gonna be biased) i am not going to race or anything just wondered how they stack up?

Hi Guys, I have been looking for sometime now for a VERY GOOD uk car, if anyone knows of one coming to the market soon or is considering selling there own vehicle, please PM me....... cold hard cash waiting for the right car :hyper: H

I'm pulling the plenum off today, just wondering, what else would you recommend doing whilst I've got it off? And are there any walkthroughs for em? Cheers geezers....

Water got into the connector and when i went to start the engine i heard a sizzle and saw smoke from the ecu :( So i need one asap. Beiing my daily drive and all....

Just thought i'd post a picture of the zed i owned some years back, if anyone on here has it , get in touch...

Ive only ever driven manual zeds and am looking for another car now. Have been offered a swb TT- t-top auto, apart from being an auto its exactly what ive been looking for. Trying not to open a can of worms but is it worth keeping it as an auto or would you change it to manual and if so how much would the conversion cost????. Im pretty good with cars but never done the swap before so would not want to attempt it myself or at least not with out help. Cheers Craig
