hi steve.my hids do this as well.never sure if its a fault or a characteristic of the lights.almost like having a dodgy flourescent tube for a headlight.mine will stay on fine once ive turned them off then back on again.my old man has exactly the same set up as me but he reckons his dont do this.??

brace yourself for this one!.got a 91 jap tt thats devoloped an overnight fault since last thursdays down pour even though it wasnt driven.the cars tickover has dropped to 500rpm.when i start the car the battery and abs lights stay lit until i rev it then the battery light goes very dull and the abs light goes out but then the LIGHTS warning lamp comes on even with the lights off!the idle valve now doesnt respond to engine loads ie if i turn the heater or lights on the revs die.checked voltage across battery when the warning lamp was illuminated brightly.reads 12.5v :headvswal until the engine is revved then it jumps to around 14.5v.my first assumption was a short caused by a water leak on my leaky targas which i fixed today.when i checked the consumer board and ecu they are both dry.ecu check came back code 55.has anybody had an altenator go and it caused weird faults on their car,thats if it is the altenator.oh and my factory boost gauge refuses to move!!.all this has started at once with no warning.need help on this one guys as ive never came across this in 16years as a mechanic.

jap suspension is softer than uk spec.not sure why.if you look on 300zx.org.uk there is a page of comparisons between uk/jap/usa/and aussie cars.

hi got a prop for a tt auto if its any good.I live in bristol.call me on 07867801948.cheers

hi , you will have to get a kit that has the same bulb fitment as your car.they are not interchangeable.i would advise that you only go up to 6000 as the 9000 makes the road purple.sounds great but try driving with them. :nono:

i rebuild gear boxes for a living.the bell housing as you quote is the front casing.a bell housing is what it says.old ford boxes had a bell housing which could be removed without disturbing the input shaft or layshaft.this is called a bath tub style box.a zed box front casing carries the races for the layshaft and the the input shaft.

the only difference between an n/a and tt manual is the casing.the internal ratios in the manual are the same.the tt box is heavier as the casing is stronger.the splines are the same i beleive.the boxes do not have a removable bell housing.the front casing is one peice.hope this helps.

the very minimum you want reading on a cylinder is 125psi.hope for 145psi on a healthy engine.on the lower cylinders add oil and do test again.if the readings come up then it indicates rings.did you find the lowest reading on one of the rear cylinders?

wot are the readings in psi.

hi,converted my dads car last year.youll need a flywheel and bolts.auto bolts are to short as manual flywheel is thicker.new bolts are expensive,around £70. use existing brake pedal just chop sides off and fit smaller pedal rubber.clutch pedal is a pig to fit.you need to break blanking plate off bulkhead.auto prop is the wrong length so youll need a manual one.your best bet is to find a complete car being broken.

when you fit pads it is a good idea to let the bleed nipple go before you force the pistons back,youll be amazed at the colour of the fluid that comes out.probaly been in there 15years.this will give you a firmer pedal as old fluid has a lower boiling point.also i have heard of seals being turned over in the master cylinder if you just force the pistons back.for most cars this isnt a problem but it has been known on zeds.the improvement in pedal feel is noticeably different once youve bled some fresh fluid through. :rofl:

hks make an ecu called an alc which piggy backs into the auto ecu.they make the changes quicker and a lot smoother.i think they cost about £200.ive been in a swb tt auto with an alc and the difference is tremendous.

the harness people use on zeds is intended for a maxima.which is a four cylinder.means you have to buy 2 of them.if you have a bosch injection agent near you they can supply a plug and terminals which will do the job and they dont cost much.

the other yellow car is jays impul 300 swb tt.his wheels are tsw but im not sure what type?? :confused:

the logic of a free flow exhaust helping the turbos to spool up faster is logical.but if you speak to zed world theyll tell you that de cat pipes have been the downfall of many a turbo!!!
