Hi there guys ive just got a auto stage 1 chip ecu for a n/a, and i was wanting to no can i just plug this straight in or is there something that i need to do first???:bow:

been reading this off another post as i am having a very similar problem. every morning on its first run i start the car up fine and start to drive off fine. 5 minutes into the drive the revs start dipping to almost 0 every time i press the accelerator pedal. After another 5 minutes it seems to stop for the rest of the day... it is very annoying as it often stalls. My car was sorted with santa's help and we stopped it smelling of fuel from the exhaust and looked at some various fuel pipes to tighten. But i have noticed the car smells of over fueling again since this problem has started. organising holiday so have not replaced jubillee clips for (possible) boost …

I started the car today and thought I'd leaving it running for a few minutes so that the air con could cool the inside down a bit before driving it. After a minute or two there was a sudden whoosh and cloudy steam looking stuff came out from under the bonnet! Seemed to be coming from the passenger side at the front somewhere. I turned the engine off. It hissed/steamed for 30 seconds or so and then died away. I couldn't see anything very obviously wrong (not that you can see much in those engine bays) so I started it up again and everything seemed OK, so I gingerly drove it home (watching the temp gauge like a hawk!). Every thing was fine engine wise, the only thing wrong …

Hi Saw you on the M6 northbound just South of Preston late this afternoon I was in My Green one going south, Saw you too late to Flash but don't know if you noticed me

Following on the this thread. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=125813 Time for me to raise my hand and say it was me - i bought it. Wanted to wait until I had the car and everything was sorted before letting everyone know. So rest assured it's within the club. Picked it up on Friday after getting 3 trains & tube taking 5 1/2 hours. Then drove it the 250 miles home for which I almost felt guilty for putting the mileage on it. Thanks to Richard for his assesment of the car. I live too far away to have looked at it personally so Richard's post was very useful. The car is pretty much as Richard described - very orginal and befitting the …

hi ya i have a problem with my 300, it dosent allways start when hot it was suggested that it could be the ptm sensor but when it done it earlier to day i checked to see if it had a spark and it did, plus the car is a series 2 so it has the better ptm sensor anyway, so im at a bit of a loose end with it, can anybody help???plus it sometimes crunchies going in to 5th gear especially under power, but all the other gears are fine is this likely to be the clutch or could it be the gearbox? thanks...

Does anyone know if you can obtain new rubber seals for the side repeaters? I have some clear ones fitted and they have both split :( got the old orange ones out this afternoon and they seem to be glued on, so don't want to pull too hard in case I damage them and then can't get hold of any replacements ie; the orange ones will have to go back on! All info appreciated ;) Dave

Well as above! I had the engine rebuilt about 18 months ago but i've not been able to get it remapped since. It's currently running a basic map, written by John Dixon, but i think it's nearing time to start running these turbo's to show what they can do. Any Offers?

Seen a black zed heading east on the M8 not far outside Glasgow, around 4pm, i drove past in my black freelander 2 an gave u a beep an a wave but u were in a day dream!!:dance:

hey people. I was hoping my 1st post on here was guna just be sayin hi etc. But unfortunatly i have a bit of a problem! After years of wanting a z32 on friday i finally got 1. And i absolutly love it. However after using it the last few days. Today when i used it to pop up to the shops it wouldn't start again! Now im not sure if its the same with all z32's but when i turn the ignition on you car hear the fuel pump engage at the back of the car. Sounds like its pumping until you start the car. Now all im gettin when i try to start it is a small click. (maybe some sort of relay) and it will turn over but not fire, or if it does fire it wont stay running for more …

Another week and another problem! :) I have had my car back a few weeks, before that it was off the road for 6 months. Since then; 50% of the time it struggles around the 2 - 2.5k rpm mark, seems to clear itself then revs sluggishly. If I drop it out of gear (auto) it revs quite happily, its only once its in drive that I get these problems. Any other time it drives fine. I have not driven it since japfest due to not knowing the cause. Last year I spent thousands trying to get all the leaks sorted, it was leaking from more holes than a collinder! Now I seem to have a slight leak from the autobox. Could Low oil in the box cause the symtoms above? If not could…

Found this which looks on the face of it a bit of a bargain. What do you think? My main worries are: 1. It's a 1989 model 2. the current owner has only had it 2 months (always a worry why it's being sold on) However I've spoken to the bloke and he assures me there is nothing wrong apart from a bit of blistering on the spoiler. reckons the engine is sound. Its an non turbo Looks in really good nick in red with cream leather Can get it for £1500 Got some pics but for some reason I cant attach them, if anyone can tell me how I'll post them up

Hi guys, does anyone knows anything about this.nissan 300 zx - wide body kit on ebay?

4 wheel studs?? the things the wheel nuts hold. Had a squeak yesterday, took the centre plate off and 3 nuts fell out. Thought id best check the other front, but really that shud be fine i was thinking. Anyone spot the missing part? Slightly pissed off with the bloke who last took it off, probably just thought, **** it, cant be arsed to take everything off again and fix it. Plus now i need a new wheel nut too.

sorted!

Hi there everyone, Any thoughts on this, anybody using one and is it worth upgrading to? Dont know much about them so please excuse my ignorance.

Following a flurry of 'cleaned my car' threads, I thought I would share the first stage of detailing my car; Wet, foam, rinse, wash, dry, and the finish achieved.

I bought some STP oil additive to reduce the smoke coming from one of my exhausts, seems to of done the trick very little smoke now & only every now & then, just got to get the re-con tubs when i have the £££. & she'll be on form.
