I test drove a TT auto and an N/A manual before buying my N/A. I found the N/A much more fun to drive, and the reliability is a bonus. At the time it was the look of the SWB slicktop that sold me, but I have never regreted buying the N/A. I own a GSXR1000 so even a modified TT will feel slow to me. What I love about the 300ZX is it's looks and handling and you can enjoy these benifits without a 300hp (or 500hp) engine. And to be honest I have never had trouble keeping up with the TT's on the street, it's only at high speeds where the TT can strech it's legs that it will pull away. In 1st through 3rd gears you can stay right with them. At the end of the day it's your choice, and there are great examples of each available for stupidly low prices.

payment on the way.

Happy day Vini!

Good question... as it apears to be an N/A!

Hey Gaz, Just installed headers on my N/A. It's a bit of a pain to get leverage on all the bolts to loosen and tighten them but I did it. Happy to come by and give you some help.

So happy for the two of you! :nana2: Wonderfull to hear Mum and baby are doing well. Tulip is spot on, my kids are 13, 19, and 20, and I still remember the day they were born like it was yesterday, those were the best three days of my life. Cant wait to meet little Zhale!

Thanks, it's definitly great to be driving the Z again! Happy I did the work myself, if I took it to a shop I probably would have been waiting for months... Plus I fixed a lot of little things I noticed while crawling around under it. As for the console cover, they are definitly different, SWB one is just a bit shorter. I bought a leather assembly off a member here and had to modify it to fit.

Is the center armrest cover for a 2+2 or SWB?

Mine sits right at 800 with the AC off (economy setting), but rises to 1000 when I turn the AC on

I cant believe what I read! 3 years for attempted murder after being convicted previously for accesory to murder? People may not agree with the American way of doing things, but they have a little something called the three strikes law (three felonies = life sentence). That M-F would never be on the streets again and would be bleeding out of his A-hole everyday.... (unless he was he Texas where they would execute him). I hate to think what I would do if someone attacked a member of my family like that....

Good on you Gaz! :nana2: Ready for another year of Zeddom. I know how it feels to get back on the road after some time off. Nice that all the work was worth it.

Thanks everyone, ended up putting it into self diagnostic mode and detecting a problem with the temp sensor (code 13). Tested the sensor and cleaned up the connector, got a code 55! Will keep Dave, Topless, SMW, and AndyP on my short list for next time I need a Conzult.

Anyone in the South Central area have a conzult? Just installed a JD chip and need to check my ECU.

I feel for ya mate. All I can say is sue the b@stards and get every cent you can! If you want to attend any of the meets, just let me know. I'm just down the M3 from you and would be happy for you to ride along.

Bought one of these last week. Not cheap but worth it. http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=1594

Welcome to the slicktop club! (they are the best) :D Saw this advertised by Lee, very nice example. :bow:

Doh!

Incredible car, I'm guessing the noise when they let off is gear-driven cams. Spotted this video on a related link (make sure you watch it to the end). http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ySLvePpB1vw&feature=related

Oh, I forgot to thank everyone that made today possible - :bow: Andy, Paul, Pete, Greg, and Gaz's invaluable advice Hellraiser - OEM suspension bits. Mr. F at MJP - wing and mirrors Dan at DTA - KYB Z1 motorsports - Powertrix and Nismo stuff Zedworld - HKS Hyper cat back for a bargain. Alex300zx - Smithy Headers for a bargain. Everyone - positive thoughts!

Ummm, lets just say after messing about with it all day, it turned out to be the simplest thing possible. :headvswal And if 300zx girl and I pass a little "stuff" between us it's nobody's business but ours... :D

Black Sunshine is prowling the streets of Winchester again! :D :D :D :D :D Everythings fixed and working as it should, took her out for a half hour test drive and still haven't wiped the grin off my face. Upgraded the front and rear suspension while I was at it, fully adjustable everything, and new Stillen anti sway bars. Will take it to Micheldever tyres tomorrow for alignment (and new rear tyres). New exhaust starting with the Smithy/Leon headers, decats, and HKS Hyper cat back. The sound is unbelievable and definitly picked up some power. Very pleased with myself, I think installing the headers was the biggest job but every job seemed to throw up a challenge. Anyway, tomorrow morning she will get a good wash and polish and I'll see how bad she's scratched. After that it's time to install the John Dixon chip...

Thanks everyone! I'll go over the lines again and check the fluid. Looks like the power steering control unit is mounted next to the ECU so I'll check those connections also. Possible a connector, fuse, or relay got knocked loose. It's a 1990 N/A so no Hicas to worry about.

Checked everything I could see... I was just reviewing the online manual. It talks about checks at the connectors. When you asked if I plugged it in I assumed you meant the solenoid connection. The manual talks about testing outputs at a seven pin connector, do you know where this one is located?

OK, trying to flush it doesn't sound like a good idea... Andy, if you had the same problem what would would you do? Should I just bite the bullet and replace the steering rack?
