Hi All, just to comfirm its a faulty o2 sensor i thought id bench test it. Could you please let me know if im doing this correctly. 1. Put sensor in vice 2. connected the neg cable of my multimeter to the casing (earth) of the o2 sensor 3. connected the other end to the black cable, the signal wire. (red and white are for the heater? is that correct?) 4. set multimeter to the 2v setting 5. heated the end of the o2 sensor with a blow torch until red 6. got no reading on the multimeter at all Regards Andy

Hello all, I'm only registered on here and I haven't got the funds to join. The thing is my zed a UK auto TT failed its MOT with a number of thing need sorting but theres two things I'm after and so called these parts are available from Nissan. I need two rear ball joints Nissan charge £43-£46 each and a link arm in drivers side wheel arch the one at the very top and Nissan charge £175which is a joke! Has anyone got any phone numbers or websites to get these sort of parts cheaper? I cant use the for sale part of this forum as I'm not a member. Any help would be great

I'm interested. May be a daft question but can anyone tell whether this is n/a or twin turbo just by the interior picture or anything else?

Ive seen a few guys on here with there cars under classic insurance and it looks cheap,so my ? is wot is classic insurance why is it so cheap and how do you qualify for it.:confused:

i am planning on selling my car as i am moving to australia, however just wanted some advise as to not let my car go for next to nothing.. the Zed is completley standard except front bumper and tinted tail lights. has low milage, 70,000 odd and had a respray in blue. Very good runner etc no smoke knocks or rattles.... lots of service history and pics of the respray cambelt, aux belt , waterpump all recently replaced. this is not a sale thread as i know the rules and im not selling for a couple of months yet, but just after a rough estimate as to how much its worth please if possible. :D

Has anybody fitted these? Are they hard to do? How long does it take? Thanks, Dan

As anyone done this if so what happens with reg docs do you send them off as normal, will the new overseas owner recieve the update reg docs.

I'm curious to know what the original expected or proven stats are for a standard (factory) Zx TT? For instance (for manual and auto) 0~60Mph Mpg Top speed if unrestricted BHP etc etc Also the same expected specs for basic upgrades i.e. a zx TT with Induction kit, Performance exhaust, Chipped ecu and boost controller?

Theres an ebay tt zed on at mo. (again) with 195,000 miles+ £15k servicing!. Havent seen one with that many miles confessed to before, although did hear a tale about a 300,000 mile one. Any big miles zeds being used here? or known of?

Hi On ZCentre website there is a part called "300ZX Z Centre Quick Shift Gearstick" (item http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=411) Is this the same as a short shifter? Thx ric

my son has a volvo 340 1.7 (drift car :wack: :D) and he was wondering if he could fit the oil cooler from a zed onto it. from the breaker i have an oil cooler from a manual twin tubo. can he just simply cut the oil feed line in half and plumb the sides into the ends on the oil cooler? can it be done and if so how?

coilovers are on but now need to get adjustable camber arms as i am running 6 degrees camber on the front :rofl:

Hi All, looks like im getting somewhere with my on going running problem, found that the right O2 sensor doesnt very much when engine being rev'ed. it goes from 0.32v to 0.34v, this is a new sensor. what would cause it to sit at one voltage? casting my mind back this is fault i had with the old sensor aswell. going to start diag tomorrow, just need to know a couple of things first. Where is plug for the o2 sensor (making sure it plug into the correct one), wheres the earth point, fuses etc etc. Regards Andy

I bought this light panel and noticed it has an extra connector - would this be for the '300zx' logo on the back? If so, I'm assuming it will be led's fitted...is there a connector to hook this up from the factory, or is it something I'll have to add?

saw you around 5 30 ish i was in a focus diddnt have time to wave

Wondering if you could do me a favour, I want some Tein S lowering springs and inderstand you have a set on your car. I dont want to buy them to find that my 17 year old standard springs have sagged to the height of the Teins anyway. So could you measure the distance between the centre of your hubs to the top/middle of your arch for me so I can see exactly how much they a set will lower my car. Thanks mate :duffer::duffer:

Hi guys, Appreciate the help as Id love to become a fellow Z owner! What are you opinions on this: Clicky It looks very clean and the only issues sound minor and cosmetic. Does anyone know the car? Its a way from me (>100m) so Id like to feel I had a good reason to go! Any tips/initial thoughts appreciated Alex

Has anyone removed the air regulator, and if so how did you get to the bottom screw? I can not even get a finger to it so am I missing a trick here or is it really only possible with the plenum/engine removed?

Hi, Just been monitoring my sensors on the vehicle and these are the results im getting. The O2 sensors, the left one is goes from 0.02v up to 0.7v when reving at 2000rpm and the right one doesnt hardly move. these are both brand new sensors??

Finally got her on the road today, she's booked in at zedworld on the 15th for the pcvs, and thourogh check up. Hopefully the james bond smoke screen can removed while I'm there.... I've noticed like a ticking noise as I pull away coming from the engine bay area... Anyone got any ideas what that might be? (still got the 2 year old petrol in there, fyi)

Hi there everyone, Seen this on e-bay but as I know pretty much diddly squat about them I need some help. Will it be ok on a 1991 UK manual TT with an apexi filter and mongoose exhaust as the only engine mods? Also would it still be ok if i decide to mod the engine a bit more? Many thanks as ever. Rob

These are the kind of videos that keep me going and lookign forward to having my zed back. Otherwise i would just get fed up and not want it.lol.
