General Discussions - Non 300ZX

why you may ask..... i shall explain. Ive owned several sports cars in my past and enjoyed them all, if they went wrong id stick em in a garage and get them sorted. if they needed a service i would stick them in a garage and get them done. then i bought a 300zx, it was a basket case but i didnt know,i got her serviced and payed an fortune all of mymoney at that time. then the gbox went and the 1000 bill to sort was far more than i had. shunter said to me get a gearbox and he would fit it. i got a gearbox and we spent the weekend in his back yard with axel stands and jacks installing my gearbox into my zed. the box turned out to be as shite as the one be…

Keep getting errors all the time whilst using it this afternoon. "HTTP 1.1/service not available." That kind of thing. You'd think with the money they're making they could afford a little more hardware to run their systems on. Amateurs!

I know i havent even got a zed yet but i really want twin dump valves, i really want the ones that kind of have a high pitch chirp. I think they are HKS but im not 100% sure. Can anyone clear this up for me? Many thanks Aaron. :nana2:

check it out boys and girls ,this tuesday night ,,about 50 to 100 cars attend this and last time only 1 zed but this time were put in a good account of our selves, were line them all up ,,have a burger etc take some video etc,,,come along and join in...... frags the beast :nana2: :nana2: :nana2: :nana2: :nana2: :nana2:

new rear lights fitted. you cant really see the finish properly its glitter on black. when the sun hits it it bursts into life. i am very pleased with myself. Its taken the best part of 2 weeks what with waiting for paint to dry ready for the next coat. There is also a nice little touch in the tail gate skin that says "FAIRLADY" in gold glitter. :cool:

Just fitted my new seats, used the Zed sub frames too, so if anyone wants my old seat they are not bad condition free to a good home or they go in the scrappy

anyone have it? had it on my work pc but have somehow lost it and we can't find the disc!! argh! cheers

When I had my cam belt done, Jeff said I had a leaking tension rod bush. So I thought fit poly bushes and why not do the TRA at the same time. Not such a bad job but wow what a difference it makes on the bumpy roads, much smoother.

as you know i am out in Iraq, i have missed my car loads, and spent ££££'s on her, but i am woundering weather i should keep her when i get back or sell her and go traveling for a few yrs, i have do her once, whats stopping me in doing her again or a different car, just thoughts at this time, and very hard ones i might add. theres just to much to go wrong on a car like this, and even more so when you up the power. I still adore the zeds dont worry guys and i love mine to bits. karl

whats the difference? how does the the carrera 4s compare to a tuned zed!

1.fitted after market oil presure sender above oil filter 2. rooted signal wire from it into the swoosh gauge 3 wired 12v and igniton wire into it via stereo 4 earthed it to same earth poing as stereo start engine when cold it read 40psi (unusual) after warm up it reads max pressure what is 100psi (unusual) when i come on boost it goes from 100psi down to 40-60 psi. now can someone please tell me what the hell is going on here

just to say thanks to Slick Pete for bringing the headlight insert to the boat, car is back together now, thanks very much...... Chunk, give it another week, then we can definately say they are lost mate, don't worry ITS NOT YOUR FAULT MATE....... thanks Andy...

Smithy's Fuel Line Kit Smithy's Mirror Finish Throttle Cover & Plenum Strip Fuel Filter Shrimpys Gold Grounding Kit, and extra cables i had spare. Allso sprayed and lacquerd throttle cover. Replaced more hose/vac lines Fitted 3 rubber seal/gromits missing from coil pack connectors(cheers Pete ;) ) Fired up first turn,whaaay haaay,so much better,ran great,nice big kick and only 10psi(at moment ;) )just needs fine tuning (idle/tps/timing/maybe fuel correction). The idle is so much better,(did notice earth to inj/plenum was not to clever,and the fuel filter on intake side had a big kink in it!)but with my set up i dont think it will get much bet…

I have just been thinking of selling my Zed and getting a MR2 Turbo (a little more practical i think)... What are your guys thoughts? What should i look out for? or should i rubbish the idea and stick to my Zed.. Have many of you owned a MR2Turbo? or thought about it?

i know its not digital tv but how do they make these things for less than £25 and still make a profit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-2-0-TV-BOX-TUNER-WITH-VIDEO-CAPTURE-FOR-LAPTOP-PC_W0QQitemZ8793202104QQcategoryZ3761QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem if it does half of what it claims still good value for money IMHO think maybe im just getting old, when i was talking to someone at work about a 486 PC they didnt even know what it was and im only 25

Well fitted and base mapped my AEM ECU yeserday and today :hyper: Idle was a little off but i sorted it out today and she runs like a dream :bow: great bit of kit and the software is pretty easy to use. So roll on tomorrow when it gets fully mapped :nana2:

What started as a simple bulb change, turned into a 10 hour project. Everything was going fine, till I dropped the headlight bulb down behind the headlight. Despite half an hour of poking and grabbing, I had to decide if I was going to remove the headlight to gain access, or just buy another bulb. I decided to just whip of the headlight, lol, yeah right :rofl: After much head scratching, I decided I'd better consult the forum. Kept seeing words like "inner arch removal" and contorsionist", so went back outside hoping my fingers had become thinner, longer and more flexible :rofl: No chance, it was time to get serious :mad: Followed the guides …

its in the newspapers today. http://youtube.com/watch?v=r4uRRhKnnks
