Not the best news I could have lol guess I'll have to try pressing inside of the valves to see if any pressures being retained.

Now I've had a chance to look at the car properly and rectify some really silly faults (rear wiper parked at bottom of screen/ rev counter needle reading 2500 revs when engine is off/ tighten alternator belt to stop screeching etc...) I did however notice that shortly after start up 10 mins of idling at 2000 + revs that there were wafts of blue smoke from the exhaust. First issue is the smoke, the second that the revs are sitting so high. The smoke went as quickly as it appeared - the oil is nice and clear and there is no smoke under heavy acceleration. The hazard lights aren't working, I think the switch is u/s as it doesn't seem to latch - am I right in thinking you push it away to engage? There is a slight hesitancy when blipping the throttle...the revs were all over the place when I slackened the screws on the TPS but there seemed little in the way of adjustment to be had. I noticed the throttle body actuators weren't moving simultaneously which I have now corrected...was this the right thing to do? The air con isn't too effective - when I press 'auto' with the temp set to the lowest, the revs rise. I can't tell if the e/m clutch is kicking in by looking at it as the whole of the visible pulley etc seems to rotate regardless of any switch settings. I'm assuming that as the revs rise, the system must be pressurised enough to actuate the pressure switch as on other makes of vehicle? The connector caps look like they haven't been touched since the car was built, so if all the above seems to make sense, I will get a regas done?

Does anyone know of somewhere reasonable in the herts region that will replace my cambelt and an approx cost?

Hopefully signature pic is showing up now...

Hey all, Have just picked up my '91 300zx TT Auto (Top Gear has a lot to answer for)! Just a few minor issues to sort out, but can foresee a lot of fun ahead! Shall post some pics in the near future. Pete.

Subscribed, still no sign of the exhaust yet though :p

All done by paypal:nana2:

Lol, enough of the hard sell..! Gonna check it out.

Thanks for all the help :-) How can I contact you without posting my emaill address Baz? I can't see a pm link...

Btw, it IS an import so I do have the switch :)

Thanks for all the help. Willie: I've no idea what boost it's running or how to find out? I've searched for blinds on ebay but can't find anything. Quavey: The box is kicking down, but only to the next available lower gear, but literally, you only have to touch the pedal for the constant changing up & down. Baz: Ta for the warning. Sounds good re: the blinds and exhaust, what does it depend upon regarding the swap? Subscribing seems like a good idea too...

Hi Today I bought a 300zx Turbo (my first Nissan although have now owned over 80 cars) which when I turned up to view, the guy was working on. Turned out the car had popped a fuse on the injector circuit and when swapped for another fuse, started but misfired. The guy took it to his friends garage to discover a faulty connector on one of the injectors - I guess it must have shorted to take a fuse out? The car drove fine all the way home, but I noticed that it was too eager to kick down (auto) at 50 although just lightly touching the accelerator pedal to keep the speed constant - is this just an adjustment on the kick down cable? I'd also like to get some blinds or shades for the targa roof as it was blinding with the sun out through the roof! The exhaust is a stainless Z32 decat system which has been replaced from the turbo's back (20/04/2009 £432) which is too noisy for my liking - does anyone have a quad outlet which is an upgrade from the original they'd like to swap? I was also told that I have a stage two chip installed - the guy gave me a stage 3 which he was given with the car - what are the thoughts on swapping this over, or is it likely to be static damaged being handled with no anti-static bag? Lastly is the passenger door not locking with the remote etc - is this a common fault? Cheers for any help in advance for any help.
