car WONT idle at the mo. im thinking theres a vacuum leak somewhere, going to do a test onit this week. just checking that this wont cause any problems tho, the 2 hoses that go to the EGR solenoid, ive removed & blocked off (at both ends) reason was, one of the pipes went to nowhere (on the side of engine, but nothing attached to) and i needed some hose for the washer jets, so cut & blocked the other off. no problems by doing this? if not theres a vac leak i presume as WONT idle on its own, needs blip on the trottle

Spotted bright yellow 2+2 travelling out of Melksham towards Beanacre just going through traffic lights by Mc Donalds at 15.45. Very nice looking and sounded fantastic. I was travelling into Melksham on other side of traffic lights in by lowered Audi Cabriolet flashed when spotted you but no response although you did look over.

Right, did ECU test and found passanger side (left) sensor needs replacing. Ordered and arrived but how in the hell do you get it out, i've tried with crowsfeet, long socket, various extension bars and elbows(all with battery removed) but it still has not budged. There are 2 tubes going into bulkhead i think are for the heater matrix, is it ok to remove these or do they hold water??? think job would be a lot easier with these off Or if anyone near newcastle fancy giving me a hand, i'd welcome that too;)

I bought tein rods and ends and the things dont fit, even tho i was told they would gggrrrrrrr got tracking booked in for 4pm and cars booked in on tuesday for insurance bodywork, im screwed :( If anyone has a rod with no play they can sell me please contact me. 07915608451.

Probably a repost but just in case! http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=20518

I know Spunky Hifi is going to hate it but does anyone know what this is? I'm running an oil cooler under my nose panel and chevy engines run HOT so need as much cold air to go through it as possible and this would be ideal:

I've just discovered the rad system isn't holding water/pressure too well! I went to fill the system up and it was like a bottomless pit, I tried filling the expansion tank neck on the R/H side of the bay which did seem to drop water. Filling the rad seems to go on forever and there seems to be no-where dripping when filled from this point??? I'm guessing the right hand tank can't be pressurised, so therefore that leak is a separate issue? GAHHHH!!!

If you are can you let me know, possibly buying a set of wheels and want them bringing to JAE :) Will cover any out of pocket expenses and a beer on me ;) If you can let me know Cheers Mike

Can someone name some jap part import sites. Im after some rare parts. tried the a few i know of without much luck. They are taking too long to calculate shipping costs of shipping time is too low and others dont reply to emails.

Hello to all, I would want to modernize to mine kit brake front and rear of mine 300zx. You know if there are good kit in sale who do not cost so much? I have found this, as they seem you? http://www.arizonazcar.com/300zxbrakes.html Of it you know others, you write. hello Akirazx

I have noticed a slight smell of petrol beneath engine cover, I did have a seal go one one of my injectors but that is now sorted, could another one of gone? Could this also be the cause of the car hesitating when cold? Car is going in tomorrow for a fuel and oil pressure test, I dont think their is enough fuel getting through when its cold.

Hi Guys When i bought my Zed it came with these mods, can someone tell me what extra BHP they add to the std 300 BHP (i think the std is 300...is that why they are called 300zx..) 2 Fast 2 Cool divorced wastegates with cat removal pipes 5Ziggens Cat back single exit exhaust HKS Air Filter Get Greddy ECU - set up for UK fuel Boost Jets - 14psi Cheers Ric

Hope you have a great day mate :) :duffer: :duffer:

...Zedworld (yet again!)...for getting to the bottom of my drop in performance and why i couldn't boost past 14psi and why it took about 2 seconds to get there in the first place! :rofl: . turned out the connector to the det sensor was ballsed and the ECU was retarding the timing. now i know what the word 'boost' means again ;) also time to start tweaking the controller to chase 17psi.

...upon hearing some good feedback from this thread I decided to use them to set up the brand new aftermarket suspension initially installed by Zedworld. I have to say...and only the guys that have already been there can know what I mean by this...I cannot ****ing recommend this company enough!!! I spent near on seven hours there today (and thats after spending two hours at Zedworld for a few tweaks), and loved every minute of it. Chris' knowledge not only of suspensions but also of performance (esp. track day performance) in general is second to none, and why he's not closely involved with WRC or the like is a mystery to me :confused: Basically, I had KYB,…

My indicators have stopped working but my hazards lights work. checked fuses all OK, checked that i have 12v to indicator unit, there are 2x 12v wires on the connector block on the back of indicator arm! Also checked when arm is to the left or right position contacts showing 0.1 ohms on each side. Anybody know how this block works? Or has anyone had this problem what did they do!! Do i need a new indicator arm?. Please help!!!!!!Paul

pair of oem optional extra shades that just clip into the trim and have the 300zx logo illuminated (the same colour as the centre panels)... a very rare puppy indeed... how much do you reckon they are worth if i was to sell them?
