Hello. What a great site. I'm glad that your TT is up and running again. I'm especially impressed about your knowledge of the 300ZX's. Anyway, keep up the good work....... Jay 1991 Nissan 300ZX TT |

G'Day, I am buying my first Z next week. A TT Targa 1990 5spd with genuine 79000kms. Up until this car I have only owned worked Aussie V8s but the Z is incredible. Your site is great and I hope you keep it going for the rest of us who may not know much about our cars. Thanks a Lot Eric Mazzeo Adelaide Australia |

I am the owner of a 93 300zx twin turbo (uk) just like to say that you have put together a great website with some fantastic shots - kepp it up! |

Check out your site, nice. Come visit www.zownersofmn.com |
|
||||
Very nice pages... I am going to buy a 300 ZX TT next summer. I 'm saving up some dough before that, I had a Toyota Supra before that. |
|
||||
Thanks for the Info. very clear descriptions, now all I have to do is get out in the cold and fix the thing. |
|
||||
Excellent Web Site!!! Thanks for the info. Keep it up! Ken |

Nice pics from the track day..I most come over some day and look at the movie!!! Z YA |

I just bought my 1st Z car (a 1995 5-speed NA coupe with 65k miles) and I'm going through it, doing all the maintenance and checking everything. I especially liked your articles on fuel leaks and erratic idle. I bought the factory service manual but it is nearly worthless (and even contains some errors). Do you mind answering a question? The owners manual, service manual, and mechanics at my local Nissan dealer all say that I should replace the timing belt at 105k miles (60k for the TT). The mechanics say that Nissan made a small manufacturing change to the belt in mid-1995, and that improvement, along with years of experience on belt life, led Nissan to increase the recommended replacement mileage for the belt. The mechanics said that if my owners manual says I can go 105k miles, then it's safe to do so. Do you agree? |

Nice site, cute kids... I have a 1993 TT and loved Europe when I was with the US Army. Total of 7 years. It's hot in Central Texas and the Grass Hoppers fill up the intakes so I haven't driven the 300 much lately. This is my 3rd Z and first TT no comparison to the others. I am 52 and have collected many cars and the 300, 1990 to 1996 is a one of a kind. My latest is the new 2002 Q45 and the voice computer system is a ball, I have always loved high tech cars. PS the rear end is from the 300ZX. |

Hi, great site. Thanks for loads of good info. Currently trying anything & everything to cure 10-13 mpg. and lots of black smoke on my 1990 Jap 300TT.Any one any ideas? would be most welcome. cheers Rog. |

Safety Boost Warning Light... Hey - how you doing Viking! That's an excellent little write up on the saftey boost warning light... we were talking about doing this ages ago, but no-one could quite work out how to wire it up... Thanks.... I may try have a go, although reading the wiring diagram and making it happen will be interesting! See ya, Jez. |

looks like you're really into your Z. i like your site a lot. have you had any experience with the breaking system? i have a problem i would like to discuss with you. |

Hei! Heftig trimmet bil du har. Vet du hvor mange HK den leverer på svinghjulet? Bra nettside du har. Kansje vi treffes på de Svenske landeveier i sommer. Mvh Øyvind Norge |
|
||||
Mycket intressanta how-to:s du har! Skulle du inte kunna göra en detaljerad variant när du plockade ur motorn underifrån? DET skulle vara mycket intressant eftersom den enda beskrivningen av att plocka ur motorn görs uppifrån(hos twinturbo.net). Tack för en intressant hemsida och Keep up the good work! Hälsningar, Johan. |

Nice site with some really good pictures. See you on TT.NET and maybe in Sweden next year. ~presto |

Hej på dig! Hur går det med bilen?är det fart på den snart? Tack ännu en gång för hjälpen när min stod. Lycka till/Mulle |

Like all your tech write-ups. Here's a thought on vacuum leaks. Where you say, "In places where it's hard to reach with your ear" you might say " hold a piece of tubing up to you ear and probe with the other end." Keep up the good work. ---Buzz |
|
||||
HI found your site by accident and you seem to have alot of relevent info. I stay in south africa and we have a large community of 300zx owners. Our problem is that most dealerships here dont know the car and the few that do rip you off. So a site like yours is very welcome. Q i am considering having my standard TT 16'rims made wider what would you consider to be the perfect size. I WAS THINKING 8j on the front and 9.5 at the back can you help Cheers CRAIG |
|
||||
nice web site please expand to cover no-turbo models as well |
|
||||
Hi Maciej, Been reading through all your fantastic tech. stuff. Excellent, I'm on the 300zx.co.uk forum(Timmy_Turbo) and while I was here thought I'd check out the rest of your great site mate. My car is still off the road, awaiting an engine rebuild at se-nissan(if it ever happens) but I'm in the faith now, although I've only seen my car a couple of times in nearly 7 months, I love it. Have recently bought TC and will be doing more when I get it fit! Take care mate Excellent site, nice to meet your family also. Bye for now Tim ;-) |

Your site is very helpful and informative. I am currently trying to diagnose what is causing my car to run in constant safety boost. I have cleaned all the key connectors and have replaced the temp. sensor. I have ran the ECU diag. many times and keep coding 55. I had Nissan run the CONSULT and no codes came up. I am starting to get pretty confused and upset with my car. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks. |
|
||||
Great information... these cars are pretty complicated, and documented resources like yours can be a real time and $$$$ saver.. keep up the good work, it's definately appreciated. |

Thanks for the write up on IAA maintenance! Solved my idle problem!! |

cool car. nice site |
|

Maciej, I'm sure that you get a lot of praise for all of the valuable information you have provided to all of us who struggle to maintain and get the most from our Z-cars. Well, you now have one more admirer. Please, keep up the good work. It is fully appreciated by me and, I am sure, many other wrench-heads. By the way, how many dollars have you got tied up in you restorations and upgrades? Do you mind sharing that information? Thanks again, Roy P.S. Until recently, I worked for a Norwegian company named Aker, so I had occasion to visit Norway. It is beautiful (but cold!). |

Hej Trevlig sida med mycket nyttiga tips för en nybliven 300-ägare. Köpte min 300ZX TT för bara 3 veckor sedan och letar tips och ideér för styling och förbättrad kapacitet på bilen. Om du har lust och tid så får du gärna maila och ge mig lite tips på vägen mot den ultimata sportbilen. Idag sitter det en trimsats som skall ge ca: 350Hk enligt papper men varken bromsar eller väghållning är förbättrad. Jag skulle gärna vilja komma över 400Hk-strecket med ruskigt bra väghållning samt en egen styling på bilen. Mvh Johan Örebro |

|
||||
really nice articals!!!!!!! thanx for your help. i own a 90z na and having a hole bunch of problems. my car wont start on the first turn of the key it takes two-three tries, i have a stong gas smell coming from the vents, it revs to 2000 when idle, after a quick/fast run the car feels like it starts in second gear(auto), and i have two ticking noises from the engine.(i know it might be the utc springs or the auto tensioner) and im pulling my hair out!!!!!!!!! top it off i finish paying for it in April!!!! I love the car since i was a 16(24 now) and would not sell it for the world. glad i found your sight before i took it to the dealers. ill try all you said first before i dish out 200$ for the check. thanx again. at least you answerd some of the questions people on the forums wont. |
|
||||
Just dropping in. Thanks for all the hard work. |
|
||||
Thanks a lot for putting these tech articles on your website...they have a lot of great info. I still haven't found the cure to my erratic idle, but I have gained a wealth of knowledge about the Z by using your page. Also, nice pics...and nice Z:) Keep up the great work (and thanks for the great tips on tt.net!!!) Mike (yellowpearlz) |
|
||||
i love your web page. keep posting the pics |
|

Just looked over your site the scenery is superb makes a brilliant backdrop for the Z. Keep on Z'in. |
|
||||
So, Mr Viking, when are you and Hanna next going to show us how to beat all the other Zeds on the track? It's about time we had enough Zandvoort!!! Happy Christmas & New year See you sometime in 2001 hopefully! Jez. |

||||||
Hi Maciej, I am really impressed with the amount of work you've done on your car - great job! Your site is also very useful for us - 300zx enthu-Z-iasts. I hope that I will avoid my engine problems for a while, but it's nice to know that there is someone who has it all done and could provide advise and support, just in case... Keep-up good job with your web site! Norway sure looks gorgeous (almost as California :-). Perhaps you post more photos from your future travels. Good luck, Serge |

Your web sight has been very helpful, very well done. I have a structural engineering degree, but on my own time I am learning visual basic to design software programs for the structural design industry. I have owned my 92 300ZX now for 1-1/2yrs. I have fixed or replaced just about everything but the block and head. Now its time to tackle that job. I love the car, always wanted one ever since the 90's came out. Everyone is telling me to get rid of it due to the problems I've experienced with it. What they don't understand is that I didn't buy this car for the short round, I plan on keeping it for a very long time, the technology put into this car is one by itself. In 1990 this car was the pioneer, the leader of sports cars of today. Everytime I work on the Z I gain a better understanding of that technology and that makes it all worth wild. Plus, there is this strong underlining friendship between Z owners that's pretty awesome. Thanks again for your time in designing this web sight. |
|
||||
One of the best pages! I hope you can continue keeping up this site. |
|
||||
Thanks for your articles. I used your IAA instuctions to disassemble and clean mine. It helped. Interestingly, I get a more stable idle with the AAC disconnected from the CPU. Also I got additional idle improvement from using the non-extended tip plug PFR7B-11. Previously I had been using the PFR6B-11B and was having some detonation when at about 14psi. That was solved by the plug change. Like yourself most people though I would have problems with this cold plug. I have a TT with JWT CPU, intake, exhaust and an ACV-R. But my plugs are the correct whitish color when I take them out. Also you have the compression specs listed for a NA engine. The TT is max 171psi, min 128psi with the same 14 psi maximum difference I will read anything else you write. Congratulations on getting your engine out and back into your car. Best Regards, Robert Mashman |
|
||||
Hi - thanks for the site. I love the picture of the engine in the kitchen. If only I can find some way of getting my engine up the stairs then I can take a picture like that too :) Tech articles are brilliant - I've just been screwed by my local Nissan dealer soI think that its time to take things into my own hands. Best Regards, Evan. |

I liked you site, very nice pictures of Norway. I currently live in the US but have been to Europe this past Jully, I went to Spain for one month. I visited Mallorca (fun!), Madrid, Segovia, Cordoba and Granada. I really loved it and I plan to visit other european countries. I wish I could bring my 93ztt to drive on the beutifull roads down there. |

Thanks for the tip on the eratic idle. |

Nice Webpage, very informative, maybe now I can fix my Zs idle problems... |

I think your tech pages are great. You open up the iaa valve where nobody mentioned on the web, personally I think the iaa deserve some preventive maintenance or lubrication. Regards TONY |

Viking, For those of us who walk the fine line between "taking our cars to the dealer and forgetting about it" and "not trusting our stupid price-gouging dealer mechanic," sites like yours are a life saver. I am using your info on finding fuel leaks and will check the interconnect hose. If you have any other suggestions maybe you can email me. Someone posted the gas smell might just be a bad gas cap. What do you think of this? |
|
||||
Your tips on tracking down fuel leaks are really helpful. Thanks. |
|
||||
Great site with useful info on finding and fixing on the Z. Keep up good work |

I injoyed your webpage very much you have alot of great motor pics and just pics of various places in Europe and Z cars. Keep up the great webpage. Jeremy L. Heath Nismo Z Mobile, AL U.S. |

Very nice site, I've really enjoyed it ! Especially the "sound-demo" of your new exhaust. (to bad you didn't really put the pedal to the metal, though.....) Goodluck to you and your car and keep us informed !!! |
|
||||
Your pics of the "air regulator" was very good, however, it doesn't say how or where the regulator is located and how to take it off the car. My car idle rough (and low 1000K rpm)during cold startups. I suspect the regulator not opening. |

Great article on curing erratic idle. The heading has part1 is their a part 2? I have had my convertible to the dealer twice for a high idle and it still reads over 1K RPM's. Now they tell me that the computer is reading the the water tempeture as 177 degrees when it should be higher. Could the idle and wrong water tempeture be related? Regards Larry |
|
||||
Thanks for the idle info. I have the same problem and have been too lazy to fix it. And to busy doing performance mods. I got your web site from twinturbo.net. Take care. Z Spot. |
|
||||
Thanks for the Tech Articles. I am currently having an idle problem and will check the sensors in you article. If you have any ideas on my problem, please yell out :) I just finished replacing my faulty fuel injectors (one bad, two leaking). I also replaced All of the injector connectors, PCV’s, fuel lines and every vacuum hose I could find. Here is my current problem. When I start the car it idles fine (hot or cold start). If I rev the engine and slowly back down on the gas, it idles fine (hot or cold). However, If I rev the engine (about 4K) and SNAP the throttle shut the idle returns to about 500 rpm and it will run REAL ROUGH and miss like a bitch until I give it just a little gas (just a real light touch of the throttle), then the rpm will come back up to about 750 and it will idle just fine. What could be the cause? Computer codes returned are just 55. I have triple checked every vacuum line and at idle (about 700 rpm) I have about –20 on my pod mount boost gauge |
|
||||
Great job on unstable idle in tech section. Best I've seen. Good pics, good explanation. Keep up the good work. -Buzz |
