Hi all just been surfing and found a site that sells the 300zx throttle position sensor at a decent price too. http://www.ignitioncoil.co.uk/Products.aspx?Man=NISSAN&Mod=300ZX%20Coupe%20From%2001/90%20to%2009/95&Ser=300%20ZX%20(Z32)%203.0%20Twin%20Turbo%20Petrol%20Engine&Year=05/90%20to%2009/95&BHP=208&HP=283&CC=2960&Cylinders=06&Valves=24&VID=04299&e1=VG30DETT&e2=VG30DETT

sailed straight through, no advisories. The only thing the examiner pulled me up on was the hazard switch. I have pulled my pods out so many times, testing led conversions that it wouldnt push in to operate, so he let me adjust the switch and passed it. The only other thing i was concerned about was, having no rear reflectors on the rear lights due to having 6 pot venom leds, but didnt say a word :hyper:

Was interesting! First time with rwd in the snow and I can report that its useless! :headvswal No chance of getting up the slightest hill, better after letting rear tyres down but still not good! Went to drop my son off at his mums on the way to work, got about half way up her road at tickover in 1st, 3mph then lost traction. Few revs saw me climbing up the hill sideways but still making progress. I then saw a clean patch of tarmac where a parked car had been and gave up there. Then spotted that I was now parked opposite a side road that was a steep downward hill toward me. Some bloke comes down the road all locked up, front wheels at full lock. Ermmmm…

Car was iced over this morning,so started up the engine,shut the doors and started deicing.....went to open the doors to put window wipers on,but shock horror the bloody doors wouldnt open!!!..The car decided to lock themselves!..never happened before and i do this most icy mornings....got a spare key so wasnt a problem....These cars!!:)

Hello people, Got a bit of a problem here. My twin turbo is acting rather strange. It starts fine, runs fine when driving normal, but when I put my foot down, it just dies out.. It is a manual UK spec which is stalling on me when I put my foot down.. Any ideas what to look at?? Best regards, Zee..

Gonna fit some Hard pipes tomorrow and need to put my dump valves in place of where the Re-Circs used to be... Can't remember which pipe to stick them into tho! Would it be the top pipe or the bottom pipe??? Don't want to un bung the wrong one! Thanks very much for any help!

please subscribe to sell, it's worth it for all the benefits

This may be a silly question but can anyone tell me if an ecu from an automatic can work in a manual?????

When I bought my zed it had a large bore single exit exhaust. It is really loud and meaty which some people might prefer, but I would prefer a quiet ride. Is the stock exhaust any good or is it too restrictive? What after market exhaust is the best compramise between noise and performance?

this realy is strange, when cornering hard the sound from the speakers moves with the force of the cornering!!!! i have rockford fosgate 6x9s in the doors which as far as i can tell are fine apart from that and a rockford headunit the system is standard. this started few months after i installed the speakers so i dont think its anything to do with that, any ideas??????

Some may remember this thread recently link I got in touch with the guy based on the original thread on tt.net and he's given me a call back today. They're looking for another 1 or 2 standard (ish) cars to help them out next Monday, 8th December at 12noon till 2pm. Location is Transport Research Laboratory Crowthorne House, Nine Mile Ride, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40 3GA Essentially it's a runway and they'd like to do some hard accelaration runs and record some parameters to help their investigation. They're looking to cover you're fuel and maybe even replace your tires! Let me know if you can make it so I can pass on your detail…

Oh my god, acceleration is mental, god knows what power its putting out, but it feels a lot quicker than my stock one. Mods are jwt 530 tubs @ 14psi, forged engine fully rebuilt, godspeed ic's 555 injectors, rps clutch and lightened flywheel and pulley set, koyo rad and electric fan, egr and water bypass, full exhaust and new wiring loom, probably missed something. What would the estimated whp be at the momment and what do u think it would be when I fit an ebc, highest setting at 24psi? I cant wait.

I went out for a drive the other night and I came to the realisation that half of you lot must be mad! or just ballsy :bow: My Zed has had the following work JWT Chip New tubs standard casings but with 360o bearings @13 PSI with manual boost controllers Hard pipe kit Apexi Induction kit, SE front nose cone, wing bonnet and slam panel (Several auto boxes!) My engine is in tip top condition I have no idea what BHP I am running, but I was driving down a certain private road and Ford mondeo st220 was tail gating me, I pulled over to the slow lane of the private road to let him pass and he continued to tail gate me, after 5 mintues of this (very lon…

Took a nice pic today, is cold outside but at least the sun is out. C clamps are soooo much better than the crapy ones you get with the hardpipe kit. tightend up a gooden.

This seems a rather strange ad..... they'll rebuild your engine ???/ Ebay item no 120337902560 What do you think ?

I am now half way through my d.i.y. 60k service and am at the point of refitting the cam & crank seals. The cam seals were no problem, they were reasonably easy to fit and position, the problem is with the crank seal. Now I had no problem getting it over the 'step' on the crankshaft as I used the thin plastic strip technique, the problem I have is the positioning of the seal. The camshaft seals fit so that the face of them is flush with the surround, but on the crankshaft the seal seams to have gone into the recess about 1-1.5mm. Can anyone tell me if that is right or not? The seal is sitting straight, but I am not sure if its gone in too far. I don't want to car…

Black N or M plate with series 4 spolier (I think) in Bath around 9.30 Silver Zed in Chippenham around 2.30 ish Was it you!

Huh? Left the battery off over night but still got the error? Speed sensor is working fine however as the readout on my infometer shows the correct speed all the time from the ecu. Anyone else had error 14?

My LED sidelight bulbs started flickering. I checked them out and both bulbs have melted a bit. Looks like they've got hot - part of the plastic housing has gone brown and softened and warped. I think they've been in the car for about 18 months. They were not cheap and from a good supplier. If you have 6000K HIDs you need them of they look very yellow compared to the headlights. I've got the old bulbs back in as a temporary fix and new LED bulbs on order. Hopefuly they'll be better - LED technology seems to have come a long way recently. I'm glad I've taken the melted ones out - if they'd got worse maybe they could have caused problems. I'll post a pic…

Dont forget to change your club calander tomorrow :dance: :slap:

I put a post up last week about me possibly buying a na zed. the front discs are probably shot as theres a shaky feeling under braking. how much are replacemnt front discs? are the headlights meant to be as bad as the one I drobve today? lol how much is a kit to make em brighter? are there any simple mods that can be done to make car any better are induction kits any good on them or a waste of time oh and just one more... the one I'm looking at is a Jap car. should it be on V Power petrol or would normal unleaded suffice as I know the car has been run on normal? thanks ps I enjoyed the car the second time I drove it which was today:D

Filled up my Manual TT yesterday morning, reset the trip counter and filled up again tonight having covered 640km's (400 miles). I only needed to put in 55 litres to fill it up again!! I work that out as 33.33 mpg giving me a full tank range of 512 miles on a 70L tank. I wasn't on an economy drive, just a lot of motorway miles this weekend.
