Has anyone ever had a series 2 PTU fail on them? My 300ZX is a 1992 TT import which has recently been firing on only 5 cylinders. I was told by the mechanic who last checked it after sorting my ABS light issue that the engine was vibrating a little and looked to be misfiring. I was told it...

Hello guys, First of all...apologies for the rather long story that follows... I just want to put a question out there and hear your thoughts. I have a 1992 Fairlady Z (imported 300ZX). I've had her for around 10 years now and she has served me very well. The last few years she has been...

Hi Guys I have a weird issue that has never happened before. I don't know if its because the car has been left undriven for a few days or not but... I tried to drive the car to work yesterday and everything was fine for a while...and thenI realised the steering had become heavy. It was...

Hello again guys I want to know if it is possible to turn the ODB connector into an ODB2? I want to connect a bluetooth ODB2 connector to connector to an engine monitoring system on my android tablet. I want to know if anyone has ever tried this before. Can anyone please advise? My...

Hello again guys, I think I've just found one other post who appears to be having the same problem as myself. I believe that is a 260Z. I've had the two original rubber hoses replaced on my 1992 300ZX as one hose had developed a leak, so swapped them out for some 'install and forget' staniless...

Hi Guys Does anyone know how I should tackle some areas of rust on my 1992 300ZX? The rust is located down by the back corners of the rear window ( I guess this is a result of the water pooling down at the corners after rainfall) and on the rear side wing just behind the wheel. I've included...

Is anyone on this forum a facebook member? :D There seem to be quite a few peeps who :driving:the 300zx!

Hello again, I didn't think I would be reporting problems again so soon. Thankfully, it's not a serious issue but it is annoying. My heater seems to have packed up! :confused: It was working fine one minute, but yesterday I stopped getting any warm air! I tried the demister fans at...

Hi Guys, I am having problems with my 300ZX again. :( Recently I took my car in to my local garage which is pretty good to have a 'noise' investigated under the cam belt cover. There was some vibration coming from there and I didn't drive it just incase it was a pulley or a belt problem...

After having these coilovers, EDFC and motors sitting around in the house for a few months I found a local mechanic in Watford who turned out to b an ex-drifter. Turned out to be the owner of Garage-D. Suspension took a few days but another problem was unearthed. Front struts were...

Can anyone tell me where the screen wash motor is located in the engine bay of my 300ZX TT? I have a 1992 model. This was all working fine until about 6 or 8 weeks back when the car had to go to one of my local garages to have an electrical fault resolved. After about almost a month there...

This problem is really driving me crazy. I think it all goes back to a time when my mate 'tried' to perform a burnout in my pride and joy about 2 years back. All that happened is that the rear of the car squatted down, trying to spin the rear wheels. Nothing happened. I guess he didn't give...

Hello again guys, Has anyone experienced a case in an auto 300ZX where the transmission will change down into 3rd for no apparent reason? What generally happens is this: I will be happily going along at 30 or 40 mph and I will be in 4th gear and the engine will be happily purring along...

Hi Peeps. How do I fit an aftermarket steering wheel to my 1992 300ZX TT without losing ANY of my cruise control functions? I love my original wheel. I always like the fact that while in cruise mode I can accelerate without using my foot just by pushing that concave button (I forget what...

Hi guys, Has anyone ever had this problem? Thought I might throw the question out there to the Z members and find out if this is an easy fix or another expensive repair. When I accelerate hard the needle on the temperature gauge jerkily flicks down indicating that the engine is running...

Has anyone installed a stand alone engine management system. Again, this might be a stupid question but always better to ask :) I have an auto. Is it wise, possible or just plain silly to install a stand alone system on a car with automatic transmission? My knowledge on such things is...

Hello all. Does anyone recommend Iridium spark plugs? I want to purchase some for my 300ZX TT (Import). It's always had platinum plugs in the past but I want to try these new ones. I keep hearing how efficient they are and how turbo charged cars can benefit more from using them because of...

:thumbs: Hello everybody, Just bought some coilovers for my 300. They are the new TEIN Mono flex kits direct from Japan. Now I know what many of you are thinking. I've heard a lot of people say that going the way of the TEIN brand is a bad bad idea due to corrosion problems and failures in...

Hi guys Just wanted to know how to fix this rust issue I have with my 300ZX. I've started to notice bubbling under the black paintwork at the bottom two corners of the rear screen. When it rains water tends to pool in these corners which is what must lead to the problem I now have. I...

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out here. I have a 1992 Japanese Import 300zx TT. I'm trying to locate the ABS fuse as the ABS system has developed a fault and I have a constant ABS light on the dashboard. I'm told the easiest option is to either locate the fuse or unscrew the bulb...
