Well looks like i better start saving :( if can get money in time will go for manual convert will solve many of the problems u get with an auto box thx for help :)

Took my car in to get my autobox oil changed 2day and the oil that came out was a dark black :eek: but also had alot of tiny silver bits in it. was told this could be wear off the clutch's in it and gear box doesnt have long left in it..maybe less then a few weeks! any ideas at if this could be something smaller? or is it gonna have to be a new box?

was nice to meet you all had a really good time for my first 300 meet hope to do it again soon but bring my car up this time :)

Well basically there was no drive from the gearbox but hicat lights were always on, checked PAS and was completely empty :( so topped it up and car run fine again...just happy to be back on the road again :)

Thx Jeff for the advice after adding new PAS fliud it now moves fine so dont know wat that was all about... but now when sitting idle its not keeping the revs high enough for itself and the engine is dying off aswell as kicking alot of thick white smoke when it does it (its not doing this all the time though mainly only when resting on a hill) me and stu are going to clean all the wiring connections and refill anything that needs refilling, we think its been laying around for a long amount of time hence only 66km in 18 years

Thx atlast might hold you to that :) amazed at the replies here didnt expect such a fast responce i think ive got the zed bug already :S lol

i didnt check it on level ground ill do that in a sec im hoping it isnt the gearbox its self just brought some PAS oil and HICAT light gone out so gonna try it again in a sec if it is the gearbox im sure stu will be nice enough to sell his to me :D or poss look at a conversion depending on price thx for all the help so far didnt expect so much so fast oh and ill repay those fags back stu haha

Unfortunatly already checked that its all fine and is a nice redish colour :( im guessing that isnt good news...

Well when i first start it up and try moving it does grip and start moving stopped it straight away but next time i tried 30 seconds later with engine still on it wouldnt move at all i hope its not the auto box thats the last thing i need at the moment

Well the PAS lvl is very low any special type of fluid for that or just a normal one? as for the smoke its thick white but only from the drives side exhaust the other side is thick but nowhere near as bad

Hey just got me a new 90 TT automatic had it for about a month now with 66km on clock legit (i hope). For the last few weeks sometimes when its cold in drive its been going to about 3-4k revs before changing gear but a few days ago it just gave out on me and wouldnt move, the HiCAS light is permantly on and since it gave out its been smoking like hell any ideas would be a big help Thanks Billz

Hey all just brought my first 300zx TT love it so much :) after having it for a month it broke down on me :( so a very big thx for Sussex Stu for giving me a tow back home 2nite
