Hi Eric No nothing. Where is the MAP sensor? Arthur

Ajay good luck with house move. Do you have a new address yet? I want to pay!! Arthur

Saw a blue one on Sunday, Folkestone/Hythe area, looked the dogs dangglies! Still like my Z though. Good luck with whatever. (cars!) Arthur

Having read the guide on buying a Z it appears my car has a problem! :( When I accelerate the boost guage blips to -3 then goes up to +9 (normal) I did this about 20 times on the Mway yesterday and I got the same thing. On idle the needle sits at 0! When I take my foot off the accelerater after boost the guage reads -5 and the goes back to 0! remains at 0 on normal driving, again on acceleration the guage blips to - then to +psi. My engine runs smooth with no whines or funny noises, no smoke, no turbo noises, starts first time, oil pressure +50 running to +15 at idle. The guide says Ive got a problem! :( :( Engine replaced in Aug 03. I have had no problems with engine. Can someone give me a clue please. Arthur

Sorry Mark posted my problem on wrong thread (yours) I will try again! Arthur

Hi Wootley I live in folkestone Ive own a Z for nearly three years If you want a chat we could meet up. UK TT 91 standard Auto. Arthur

Hi hope someone can help! TURBO'S-having read the Z buying guide! I appear, sorry the car appears to have a problem! When I boost, boost reads 9psi no doubts, done this over 20x today to check. However on idle my gauge remains on 0!! When I accelerate the gauge go's to -3, well blips to the minus side then go's to +9psi. This happens every time. There are no signs of any, I mean any engine problems! It runs smooth, it idle's smooth, the temp is normal, the oil pressure is normal. WTF is going on! Car is UK TT standard. engine replaced last Aug 03. There are no, repeat No! whistling or whining sounds from turbos, no smoke, no smells, nothing! I do like my Z. First time out in two weeks!!!! :) Arthur

300zx org.uk give oil capacties as; Year 90 NA 4.3/8 w/f & 3.7/8 w/o filter Year 91-96 3.5/8 w/f & 3.1/8 w/o filter same in both NA & TT I did an oil change last month & bought 5L of synthetic & used as much as to fill the engine to the correct mark on the dip stick! Thats not rocket science! Oil filters, now then? Any more views on this! Arthur

Got my Continentals from mytyres on front & rear They have never let go in wet conditions Good price too. I think most tyres are ok, there are other factors to consider. Keep in mind that you have loads of power to deliver with the Z! Use or abuse. Tyres have thier limits too abit like drivers! Would not buy economy tyres though. Arthur

Vince, sorry to hear. not a good time. Arthur

Very nice colour Not had my Z out for two weeks now! but its coming out next time its dry!

I bought the second one I drove! I didnt know alot about them!! 2 & a half years on still dont!!

In todays market, dealers dont seem as keen to give or nagotiate a deal just because you wave cash in their face! 4k trade in is a good price on a ten year old car. I just traded in a micra for £300 no comparison to a Z though

Try again! I ave a UK TT 91 & I dont ave leather! I thought leather was an extra could be wrong though.

Best to order both & change both if doing one. One goes under & across the other. Even Nissan have difficulty seeing which one to order on their diagrams. They are a PITA to change but I did both mine in an hour or two!

Not my taste & an N/A!

Hi like Jonno said its the petrol cost! I did 23k first year & it cost me sh-t loads of dosh! two sets of rubber,500 quid for MOT. After first year got a second car to runaround in. Now got new engine 4k! new auto gearbox 1400k! more tyres 500 quid, new rad 200 quid! & other bits like discs & pads front & rear, poly bushes and still standed!

Hi, I might tell you aload of tosh! I thought if you select D on your auto, the car pulls away in 2nd gear. The use of 1st I thought was for pulling away on hills. As I said Kia this could be a load of b---ocks. Arthur

Im pissed off cant find my No! How come? My be it aint my car! Arthur

Is this added cost from the imports authority in the uk? They charge you on the amount the company insure the goods for shipping. You can phone them up and quiery the charge. Have you already paid? I ordered some prints from USA cost £40. when they delivered them to me the importers wanted to charge me £233!FFS took me 2 months to get my prints with nothing to pay in the end Arthur

Hi Thanet I did 23000 miles first year of ownership with no probs. If like some I had only driven the Z at W/ends & done 3/4K a year that would equal over 5 years trouble free car. Since this was one & a half years ago, I have now got bills over £6K!!! Recon autobox New engine/rad/brakes,pads & discs, even the tyres wear out fast! I aint no mechanic too boot! Arthur

Ive not seen one yet around Folkestone or A20 or M20 or A1 or M25. But when I do I know I can beat it!! Arthur

Hi If the sump has been dented & pushed up, which it looks like from the pics best not drive car and change sump. You can definately take sump off without taking engine out. When my engine developed a problem (big end knock) the chaps at the garage dropped the sump! Saw it with my own two eyes. Arthur

Hi tuberider So you had your Z as an insurance rightoff for a smashed windscreen! Wicked man! let me know the insurance company, just going to smash my screen get it wrote off, then buy it back!! Arthur

Hi Mark S, At least if the engine turning over then definately not siezed, thats good! Maybe not totally engine trouble free but a good sign! Hi Mark, my Z will do 150 just scares me what other drivers do! Arthur
