My car has just been to zedworld and is running perfect, Jeff had some work to do on it, its been on the conzult and everything is spot on but when its cold the revs can still be a bit eratic and when i press the accelerator a touch the revs will drop a bit then pick up again and when i come to a junction and press in the clutch the revs will increase to about 2000rpm and then settle again, my car has had a new wiring loom, also when its cold at about 2000rpm i get a serge of power, could that just be the tubs kicking in? If im going down a hill in 3rd with my foot off the gas, i can hear a very slight popping noise from the exhaust, could this just be the jwt 555 chip i …

Need a set of 5 bolt DP's BTW if anyone has any sitting around that you are willing to sell im very interested. Budget is tight, i cant begin to share how much ££ ive blown on this car so far. So i was looking at the labree 5 bolt super split downpipes on the z1 website which works out to about £288 add an extra £70 if you select them in stainless steel. the 300zxclub.com website has a GB on z1 downpipes which have a smaller split than the labrees but are at a very good price, works out to about £240 delivered these however are stainless steel and not aluminized steel like the labrees. Does anyone know if the labrees will make a noticable difference…

Hey guys I bought cybernets old exhaust and took it down to longlife today to get it fitted to my car. They are stars, I think Steve must have had custom downpipes as it needed cutting and welding to fit the 2fast2cool downpipes (one was also a bit wonky). Anyhow Dan at the Wallington branch did it in 2 hours and it cost me 80 quid, well chuffed. Here are some pics. Cheers guys

Hi all, Just a quick question which im sure will be answered easily but on my 300 when the vehicle is cold the performance is excellent and when the vehicle comes onto + boost the turbos sound great like a boiling kettle/whistling sound. This only happens on normal driving. If i go full throttle this stops. The question is tho when the vehicle is at normal operating temperature the sound almost goes or sometimes vehicle difficult to hear? is this normal? Regards Andy
