Hi there, just drove my car back from work and it was going fine, parked up for about 2 hours and went to start it an dit was completely dead. Dash lights come on as normal but when i turn the key there is nothing!! The only noise was a on and off buzzing noise that appeared to be coming from the valvel for the boost controller. I have disconnecterd the power to that and gthe buzzing has gone but there is still nothing. There isnt even that ticking noise that you associat ewith a flat battery. I have had my jump starting pack on there and that made no difference so im fairly confident we can rule out a flat battery. The bugger of it is that its parked in th…

It's that time of year again when thinking about an LPG conversion. I have a Jap TT 300ZX Auto. It's reasonable on fuel for what it is. However, wondering if someone has taken the plunge and done an LPG conversion? I would insist the fuel tank be made to fit where the spare wheel goes so as to appear as normal as poss though.

Hi Dave, was trying to reply to your add about the spoiler but for some reason i cant. I'm interested if can you post it to Northern Ireland? Is there any chance you accept £80 including postage? Cheers

I've got AP Racing CP5200 Brakes and 330mm AP discs on my Vectra. Would it be possible for these brakes to be fitted to my zed, either straight on or via a bracket? Reason I ask is they are worth about 1K and I'm selling the vectra soon. Here's a link to the AP Racing site about them; http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?product=Vectra+-+Front+4+Piston+Kit+CP5200-1027_1718_1062 Not really expecting it to be easy..lol

Hi all, The warning light on dashboard is showing all doors open,when in fact they are all closed, plus the overhead map reading light and the interior boot light is not working. Would it be a fuse or fuses? Its a Jap spec so problem with language. Does anyone know what fuse or fuses it could be? Cheerz Chris:headvswal:headvswal

Hey all, Need a new backbox as one of mine has a hole in it and i figured i may as well get a whole new catback system. Im not bothered about performance gains im just after a nice sound really. Been looking at the japspeed one (available for around £300) and was wondering if it was any good sound wise? the only other one i can find is the mongoose one but people dont seem to recommend mongoose really. Any suggestions or linkys would be appreciated :)

Hello, I fitted an electronic boost controller today but forgot to disconnect the standard boost solenoid connectors, doh! I drove the car trying to set it up and got all kinds of crazy readings. I went home and realised what i had done and disconnected both connectors. But now im getting 7-7.5psi only. Any ideas? And chance i could have set of the knock sensor when i was getting crazy boost? Would a knock sensor issue allow safety boost with a boost controller fitted?

HI Buddy How you doing fella? The last time I saw you I asked you where you got your blue vacume pipes from. Can you please tell me again as I have lost the details Cheerz Chris.

Cheers Jamie - Top man - disconnecting the afm seemed to temp sort the problem. funny coz I only posted yesterday about disconnecting afm. Missed what you said tho bout air metering - Will car be safe to drive for a 100mile journey like this? It would seem one of my pipes has blown off (under boost going up a hill I lost all power), this was followed by running like an absolute dog and backfiring like a machine gun, not really going above 3K. After disconnecting the afm it seems smoother upto 2500 now so I can use it to drive down. Would like to find the pipe thats blown off though - checjked the 4 boost pipes, both turbo elbows - thats about as far as I ca…
