The tappet closest to the driver has been tapping since I got my Z31, it started off by only tapping when the car was started and then would go once oil was circulating. Gradually it's got worse and now it taps for quite a while after the engine is started and sometimes even when the engine is...

I saw my first one in the 'flesh' on Wednesday night at some traffic lights and then it drove past me as I was stopped at another set of lights. It was silver and I think it was a lady driving it. They didn't acknowledge my car, and they had a good long view of it, so I guess they know...

A little while ago I was suffering poor power readings on my battery and after following Mike's advice, sure enough it was the brushes, one had snapped, so replaced them and all was fine. In the last two weeks I have had some strange things happen with the dash (analog) on my 1989 UK Z31...

Is there anyway the sidelights can be set up to come on without the need for the main lights to come on and pop, like MR2s, Ford Probes, MX-5's? Could an auto-electrician set anything like this up? I heard there is some sort of kit in Japan that allows you to control the lights yourself so you...

Lucy Liu's character, O-Ren Ishii, has a lawyer in the film and she drives a dark blue 300 with high level rear brake light. I think it was a two seater.

In particular my front near side. It's quite bad and I've not noticed it until recently. Any tips to remove it and/or prevent it from happening in the future? I hate condensated headlights <img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle"...

When my Uncle had (now) my car he had a mobile tuner come out to resolve this problem. &nbsp;It has developed it again and my Dad discovered a plug lead was loose. &nbsp;Since Saturday night it hasn't been firing very well again and this morning it was terrible. What should the gap be for the...

Wrecked Exotics - 350Z Also Z32s and Skylines on there (among the rest of the world supercars).

At a local pub there is always a black SWB Z32 auto parked there, it looks like it hasn't been used for a while.  Doesn't look in too bad condition. I noticed it has the Nissan hamburger emblem on the nose. I thought all SWB models were imports (from Japan) and that all Japanese Z32's had the...

Hello all This coming weekend my Dad and I will be replacing the oil cooler and pipes that are supplied with the kit (thanks Mike <img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> ). Has anyone experienced any major problems fitting...

I was just wondering what the life expectancy was for my Z31 N/A autobox, car is an '89 facelift with 135k on the clock? I'm going to be draining the autobox (as much as I can get out minus the torque converter) and replacing the fluid as I have no history of when/if this has been done. Is a...

Hello Recently I have noticed my battery light is on.  You can't see it in the day as its quite faint, but you can notice it in the evening.  I could have just done a two hour journey, park, go away then come back and start it up again and the light will still be on.  The battery level gauge...

Hello When I brake while reversing in my '89 Z31 N/A auto the rear brakes squeel/screech. &nbsp;They don't make this noise when braking going forwards. &nbsp;I reckon there is about 2k miles left in them. Any ideas on this noise, it's quite loud? &nbsp;Could they be too low? Regards MJ

Hello all My '89 Z31 non turbo sits on 17x8 rims and currently has 215/45 on the front and 255/40 on the rear. I am going to change all four soon and would ideally like the same profile all round, I have been advised to put 225/45 on the front and 245/40 on the back. Does anyone know the...

Hello I quote from 'What to look for when buying a Z31' post: Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">That being said you should also know that the auto transmissions are junk.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'> This has raised my concern about the auto box on my Z31 as I have noticed in the...

Hello all I'd just like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' for the prompt responses to my queries, its greatly appreciated. Now, moving on..... Can the standard ECU (chip) cope with a de-catted stainless exhaust & back box and an induction kit or will the engine run too lean/rich...

Hello all Please can someone tell me what RPM my '89 Z31 auto non-turbo should be when in 'D' and 'N/P'? Also, one other thing, when putting my car into 'R' its not exactly smooth.  There is no clunking or grinding of gears, but the car just 'jumps', for want of a better description, into...

Hello all I have an '89 Z31 non-turbo auto with no air con. 1) I have noticed the digital clock in my dash looking faded the last few days, last night I noticed it was back to its normal brightness. &nbsp;Then after getting back in my car it was dull again. &nbsp;On a journey this morning it...

Hello all Although a huge fan of the Zed car range I have only just purchased my first, a UK '89 Z31, black, auto, non-turbo and its in very good condition. I'm really pleased with it <img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>...
