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 my zed switched off while braking at a stop ligth has soon the the car stoped the engine just went off started it didint give me any more problems until now. any ideas of what or why that happened?

what are the symtoms when faulty ? can you replace without removing the plenum ? where to obtain , club dealer

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

As above....... .......in the Freshwater area on Saturday 21st early afternoon. I was waiting at the temporary traffic lights in a red ZX and you were coming through in the opposite direction; thumbs up and flashing your lights!! That was the only other Z I saw during my short holiday; and it happened to be on the Island......... Richard:)

been removing my interior carpet as it needs replacing and after seeing some recent threads and pics of other uk zeds with the carpets removed i was fearing the worst i was quite suprised to find very little rust, only a previos leaky targa caused this just two little patches to put on and underseal and thats it

Was driving off the island yesterday behind a blue z with 'sumo power' stickers on rear. Was trying to keep up in my Yaris but had to pull over for the copper in the 4x4 to get past!!

Hey folks, My Car has been parked up since October and turned over weekly to keep it happy. Until last month at least when it decided to not turn over, its sounds like its trying but doesnt seem to be sparking. I had a similar problem when driving once, I lost all power besides the radio, turned out to be the coil pack fuse had jumped out. I tried swapping this over with a known good one but I am still getting the same problem. My car is currently parked up in Fleet so i do not have access to it all the time, I was just looking for a few ideas to check out when I next go down that way. The car was running fine before it was parked up, infact had only d…

Well as I'm stuck in hospital the Z progress stopped, made a little headway before coming in but only the one pic off my phone at the moment. I am pleased with the way it's taking shape and wanted to be at Japfest with it but due to losing the time I have it will be doubtful unless it comes on a trailer :mad:
