Hey everyone, The day was going quite good today until I lost power on the motorway all of a sudden. Mine is a jap spec and the stock boost guage is not reading past 0 and there is no power at all. After reading a few threads here I believe its the passenger turbo seized. Now the symptom of this that I can think of is my oil pump. I always check my oil and water before taking the Z on the road and them both are always fine. But while driving every now and then, the stock oil guage would show really low readings. Now I have read here that the stock oil pressure guages are poo. So I did ignore it all this time but obviously, it was reading right. Just wanted to confirm th…

Well someone had say it:dance:...I thought I would ask here instead filling up the for sales with my questions Anyway how easy/hard are they to fit. My knob as the overdrive button and the side button plus at the front at the bottom of the stem part of the knob theres a little lever that you lift up before you can put it into drive . So thats 2 buttons and a lift up lever on mine Does that knob he is selling have the lift up feature on it or does the lift up lever bit on mine at the front on the lower part of the stem just get removed with the knob . Does that make sence? Wolveszx

Does anyone have a trailer that could be used to transport my Strosek Z from Swindon to Manchester this weekend or Monday or Tuesday? I will obviously pay for this to be done. It is just a rolling shell so will need a winch to get it on. I am going to be travelling down to Swindon whenever this can be done. This is urgent and any help would be much appreciated.

Looking for the wiring diagram. further to my other post I have disconnected the razo turbo timer now my rqacelogic will not even pick up any rpm signal. so looking for the wiring for the Razo so I can trace back. There are 3 thick wires - Green Red & Blue which I presume go to the ignition somewhere. then 3 other wires (Black - Presume ground), Blue and thin red - the thin blue one is the wire that my racelogic is tapped into but when disconnecting the timer from the loop it loses the rpm signal? - Cant work it out as the thin blue wire is tapped into the ecu and the racelogic is still tapped into the blue even with the timer disconnected - Hop…

just taken it for m.o.t and sailed through not one problem .... how many 1993 cars can you say that about:)

Hi people done a thread a couple of days ago because the vehicle rough running, spoke to mark from here great help who suggested doing another compression test to comfirm previous results. As im waiting for a new test kit to arrive i thought id done some quick videos of the vehicle at idle etc so you can hear the problem, hope you all got good speakers the mic on my mobile is crap. Also when these problems happened the oil pressure sometimes dropped then picked back up?? Links: Regards Andy

I had the Driftworks HICAS delete system made Shiny/Chromed up a bit and also the rear adjustable lower arms to match. Guess it will be another afternoon under the car :hyper: Have a good weekend everyone. :duffer:

is there a guide anywhere with pics on where to start when removing the stock spoiler, done a search and all i can find it this with a few pics in http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=43681&highlight=removing+stock+spoiler although its not the same as mine has given me an idea of what to expect, just wondered if anybody had any progress pics if they had done a simelar project of removing the stock spoiler and either fitting a skin or filling and smoothing cheers

Just took my ecu out to send off for a new chip and found this: It is labeled as 8492. Anyone have any idea what settings it would have etc? Or any other info on it?

First of all forgive me if I'm being stupid... I know nothing about the machanics... But how good are the breaks in a stock 95 Jap N/A? I don't feel like that I'm getting pushed forward when I break... I thought this could be because of the seating position in the zed. But this morning I had to break hard and I bearly managed to stop. My beamer has far better breaking power than the zed from what I feel. So being dumb is there anything I can do to test? Or is there anyone around sheffield who is willing to lend a hand this weekend? :rolleyes:

I'm going to be getting my engine rebuilt in the next few weeks and was toying with the idea of painting/colourcoding various parts (plenum/cam covers/etc) but aside from red and black, I'm not sure what else would look good....so...can you post up any pics of sexy looking bays to give me some ideas?

As mechanically competant as i am, i just wouldn't have a clue where to start with the installation of my Oil Temp, Oil Pressure & Water Temp guages to the A-Pillar. Jeff @ Zedworld doesn't like fitting guages & Chris (Ceejay) in Nottingham was going to fit them last year but things changed.... No longer have his number & don;t know if he's still working on other peoples Zed's? Anyone help or recommend someone else?

Hi, On the recent NW RR, i found i had a fueling problem that i was running lean on boost above 0.7bar and you could here it when up next to it. Tonight is the first real chance i've had to have a look. I've tested the fuel pressure between the fuel filter and the fuel rail around 40psi on idle jumps up to 45 psi if i pull the pipe to the intake off the regulator jumps up around 5-7psi when revving. So all seems good?? Any thoughts on what could be causing it and what to test now? Cheers, Ste
