Just got my car back after 6 months off the road. As the ECU was fubar'ed I treated it to a Working Standard ECU, new series 2 PTU and an oil and filters change. I have had it back 2 weeks and already it is starting to play up. Most of the time it doesnt like revving above 2k to 2.5, If I drop it out of gear it revs quite happily so I can only imagine its an autobox issue. I have had the car 3 years, the first of which was pretty much trouble free, I spent a grand when I first got it to make sure everything was ok and it seemed to be going fine. I now have a folder full of reciepts for the last 2 years totally around 6 grand and it still isnt right. The las…

hi there just washed the car just thought you guys might want to see a pic hope you like

e-bay n/a stock Z with 280bhp? a bit confused when i seen this one where has he got 280 bhp from and the price for that matter ?:wack: e-mailed him politely with no reply :cool: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-K-NISSAN-300-ZX-3-0-V6-Targa-Automatic-Coupe_W0QQitemZ330324346178QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item4ce8dd8542&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Got my latest results from Surrey rolling road meet. It might as well be in klingon. I do know that i ran with both O2 sensors and tps not working at all., Here are the 4 readouts, which is which?? Once the sensors and tps are replaced with new ones, will it make much of a difference. Im only running a mongoose system and a blitz sus filter, what is a reasonable figure to aim for.??

Spotted parked outside car sales forecourt opposite chequers pub ingleside road kingswood, 2 days on the trot very clean looking stock who is it?

OK guys, having a weird problem. For some reason the car struggles to start first thing in the morning. It turns over but wont fire unless I depress the accelerator and pump it. After that, I can turn the engine off and it will start straight away, this happens for the rest of the day. Only seems to happen when the car is left overnight. Any thoughts as it is annoying me now!

is there a seal that goes between the handle and the door? if so where could i get a new set?

is their anyone who as a clutch friction plate 4sale mine as broke up and have the car in pieces on bosses ramp im in london area will pick up thank you

ready for this??? Yes i believe it is an Z31 however look at his solution to fitting the turbos with the engine mounts. shocking!! Surely he must have some common sence to hook up the turbos himself but huh???!!!??? http://www.redz31.net/pages/turboupgrade.html the particular pics in question..

are there any uprated engine mounts availible for the 300zx? not the bushes the mounts sit on but the actual mounts themselves. reason being that on bigger turbos the compressor comes straight out onto the mount making it difficult to fit the pipes onto without modification. just wondering if there was anything off the shelf availible.

Before I rip this thing off.. I would just like to know & make sure it is colour coded underneath & a good clean afterwards will make it look decent... Has anyone took theres off already?.. can someone tell me what is underneath.. I have attached a pic so you know what I mean CheerZ

Just thought i'd get my mate to record my car the other night.. I love the look of my car at night with the HID's/L.E.D'S & illumina panel, definately gets attention :D You can also hear my new exhaust which I have posted pictures of in this thread: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=126159 Hope you guys like it!. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9C7zCzXlfs anyone know how I embed a video?

which sig pic shall i use? the one funkysi just made me or my current one?

Just thought I would post some pics of my exhaust...not like you can see much of it however, but it's a Fujitsubo Giken Kogoyo exhaust. It sounds really nice, not loud at all, no rasp.. just perfect IMO. I have also added pictures of my car to the "Rides" section for the first time too if anybody fancy's checking them out! Cheers! P.S. Could somebody tell me how to upload a video onto here. :D

Near bridgend grey, vented nose panel

Got some new braided hoses to fit my rear R34 calipers and spent all day trying to get one of the old hoses off. It already has braided hoses on from about 6 years ago but they've rusted up solid and I need to change them because they won't work with the R34's. Tried everything including penetrating oil and heat but it won't budge and in the end the nut rounded off so I'm completely screwed. Don't know if there's any way of putting a new end on the pipe as it's so tight in against the bodywork and suspension. Car is on my drive with no brakes now so don't know what I can do with it. HELP! :(

put my clear side repeaters on today and gave the car a quick clean. found a nice place near by to take some pics. will get some more pics next week when my 99 spec front bumper is on :D.

Had to play with him. His launch was ****, mine being an auto launch good. Must say i thought he would catch up but no, mine only has cat back and filters at the mo so not lightning, but it was enough for 3 car lengths. Don't normally do this but i thought sod it 3 litre V6 twin turbos aren't always for pottering about in now are they guys. After that the car deserved it 3 hour clean!

if the worse happens with my zed and the crank is scored, what would my zed be worth with a broken engine, i dont think i would like to spend anymore money on it as ive just broke the bank recently with house renovations and car repairs im just trying to see if its worth regrinding the crank or maybe selling as repair or spares, the body work and underneath the car is in great condition, its just the bottom end of the engine letting it down ATM if anyone was thinking of doin a wide arch conversion my car is perfect to take the engine out and put their engine in let me know people, and dont be cheeky lol p.s, i know you's wont think it's worth as much a…

Just returned from Surrey rolling road, was nice to meet you all again, and good to chat to people ive spoken to on here for ages but never met, plus some ive never met. Not a bad turn out, sorry to the guys who got stuck on the 25 for a long time. Will sort some pics out later. Stu:duffer:

was driving home 2day and clutch went, its not slipping just cant get into gear unless turn off and move off with starter, got under car and brother pushed the clutch no leaks and cylinders pushing forward, what could be the causes could it be bent fork if it is can i change without taking box off thank you

is there anything i have to look out for or need to do, im gonna take a look at my end shells, and check the crank, what do i need to do, is there any links anywhere

Hi all, can anyone tell me where to find a company that does wide arch bodykits please. Thanks guys:)

Woo Hoo!!! Finally on the road :hyper::hyper::hyper: Taxed and tested today, straight through MOT and have done about 2 hours driving running in. No leaks and nothing caught fire or fell off so a success as far as I'm concerned! First impressions: Front suspension geometry is miles off, makes for interesting cornering. Engine is bloody responsive, mapping very crude just now but even so, the throttle response is almost telepathic and it pulls VERY well as far as I have tried it. Car feels much more alive with all the solid mounts etc. There is no slack anywhere. The V8 sound is awesome - will get some vids ASAP

:) But I will need a different type of glue for leatherette. Evo stick doesn't seem to be holding it as there is like a fabric hessian type structure on the back of the viynl..... Any suggestions for leatherette to mdf bonding?:confused: :headvswal
