Well i ran in safety boost for a long time as my EBC was only half plumbed in and when it was finally fitted properly it was like January and i nearly killed me and the fitter as the roads were that bad :rofl: Anyway with lack of money and the bad weather i've not been using my zed all that much and even tho its been good weather recently i had a couple of running probs that took longer to fix than normal as i'm so busy as of late. Well yesterday i went up to the Tan Hill meet and i can happily say the zed ran perfect and did'nt miss a beat and has given me new found faith and passion in it - just wanna keep driving it, to the point i took it out in Southport bank ho…

Saw a black j-spec zed on Lulworth Rd today, not sure what time but must of been about 3pm-ish. Was it you?

Hey, what type of oil do i need, mind has gone blank.

Hi, any advice please, I have looked at my air filter and found it to be called an Apexi. It is conical in shape. I want to replace it with a fresh one, however I believe I can actually clean it. Any advice on this please. Like if I can clean it how? Thanks everyone.

Took my Z out for a spin up the motorway on the hottest recorded day of the year!.. Got to where I wanted to be.. parked up & just popped the bonnet to help it cool down, but as I did that I noticed there was a kind of white smoke/steam coming from the back of the engine.. or the top?.. I have attached a pic of an engine to show you where I mean & replicated the smoke. :D Any ideas what this could be?

As above, after giving it some welly, I turned into my street with the clutch pressed and it cut out like the revs dropped to low, its only ever done this twice, it starts and drives fine afterwards, it does have a sight idle issue, everything was fine on the conzult, could it just be the temp sensor or idle controle valve?

Is this a safe amount of boost? I have the following mods. JWT 555 Eprom JWT 530 turbos nismo 555 injectors wiesco pistons engine lightened and balanced godspeed smic's lightened racing pulleys rps racing clutch lightened and balanced flywheel I have listed the basic engine mods, I have run it at this for a bit and seems to be fine but I have turned it down to 1bar just in case as im not sure if the eprom upgrade is good enough as I think its running a bit rich and it idles a bit funny, could this be down to the map I have? Is it a good idea to keep it at 1 bar or is 1.5 bar safe enough?

I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and dampner over the weekend, and now it wont start :( getting a spark ok , bit no fuel by the looks of things, i've checked and rechecked and all pipes are in the right place, so guessing there must be some sort of airlock or blockage? I took the hose of after the filter and fuel sprayed out, so it's getting through the filter, then took the return hose off beside the fuel filter and only a tiny little dribble came out. How do I bleed the fuel system? or could it be something else? Cheers David

I have taken off one tub so far and on inspection without stripping tub down have noticed that . On the fins they seem to be double, i thought that on a standerd t25 that there is only one row of fins , anyone got a pic please.:bow:

Hi ive got to change the rear wheel bearing, has anyone got a fitting guide? I know i need to get it pressed out but other than that i have never changed one before. Can anyone help? Thanks

Picked up my new Z yesterday:hyper::hyper: I'm now up to three Z's at the mo, till I finish stripping the silver one. Will be a fun project and probably cost a small fortune will post some pics up later

Is it normal for a 300zx TT only mods is a blitz induction kit drink half a tank of petrol in 90miles? (70mph most of the time)

Well i've taken a week off work to finish off the V8 so here's what i've achieved today: Started off by fit all the pistons and conrods and grinding every cylinder to fit for clearance. It took about 4 hours but i got there in the end. All pistons in: Timing chain on and cam degreed ready to test the clearance and amazingly the conrods clear the cam on every stroke, i'm so relieved!!! Conrods all attached to the crank finally: Now to test the clearance of the waterpump on the timing cover eek, works just fine with a bit of fiddling: Head number one in place and test bolted down: Both heads on now to test fit the alternato…

While Eliza is still off the road I'm doing a few cosmetic jobs to her, the latest one I've just thought of is whether to remove the fake Japanese Cherry Wood dash trim kit I fitted a few years ago now :confused: Although I do still like it, I was wondering if she would look better without it there. A couple of pics..........

hi could someone point me in the right dirrection, think ive figured everything else out, but cant seem to find where the left 02/ exhaust sensor connects too.. im also getting a code 34 on the ecu check any help would welcomed. thanks michael..

Does anyone know if the CAS fits all years or did they change the spec of it. From the search that I did it may have changed around 93/94 and again in 96. cheers Paul

Does anybody know what size and pitch the studs on the exhaust downpipes are? The ones that the cats bolt onto. Mine are rusted up and need replacing. They haven't sheared yet but that was more luck than judgement :wack: Tried searching but didn't come up with anything. Cheers Dave

Hi all went out for a nice drive today when i got back i noticed my car started leaking on the passenger side at the front under the bumper, the temp remained normal while i was driving, not started her since, as i want to top her up & find the leak not alot came out i'd say a pint by the looks of it any suggestions thanks, Dom

I have bleed the clutch on the cylinder by the gearbox and the one in the engine bay but still can't get the car in gear. Do I need to keep bleeding the system as air might be working it's way up the system? I had no clutch booster cylinder when the manual conversion was done, just the resevoir and cylinder on the gear box and bleed pipe in the engine bay. Any ideas?
