For some reason my cars not hitting full boost. The gauge under the speedo is showing about 2 bar from the end when boosting hard but the car seems fine plenty of power could the guage be wrong??

My hicas light comes on sometimes when I start it when cold, goes off after a few seconds. It's a hydraulic one any ideas?

Hi, please could anyone tell me where to get a set of front pipes (manifold to cat) for a 96 SWB TT - and have them fitted ? I want to get rid of these bloody clanky heat shields that are knacked :headvswal Thanks :)

According to the model Variations thing Here http://www.300zx.org.uk/model_variations.htm It says that the series 2 was until september '93 and then untl october '94 it was a series 3, is that correct? That would mean that my car is actually a series 3 and not 2 :)

Just notices that the fan at the front on my engine is always on, is this normal? Reason for asking is im trying to get to the bottom of juddering and a lumpy and even a slight misfire when its cold, ticks over beautifully now iv changed my IAA valve so its just for 3-4 mins when cold then she runs like a dream

Hi two short questions would there be any problem using NGK PFR6B -11C ( colder type I believe) on a stock TT Z ? and Does anyone know which wire that leads into the back of the instrument cluster is for the engine temp sensor, or failing that which wire the ecu temp sensor is ? Cheers Maz

i have three pics to show how i would like my front end will turn out but dont know how to upload these any help much appreciated?

Dump vales are finally done and sounding good. Not as hard as i thought but would have been easier woth some daylight and no rain.

Just been and picked the car up. All I can say is WOW. Heres some photos. And the website of the guy that made it. http://www.xtecdesign.com He has welded all the joints rather than bending them as they look better that way apparently. Had the cans cut down to 9" for better sound which you can hear here. Darrell

Finally I get some time to post some pics of my Z taken this summer at Costa Del Sol. Let´s see what ya all think...:o:o

Just wondering who uses AndyP or John Dixon chips. I've kept the options anonymous. I hear geat reviews from most people. I just want people to respond who have either chips of various levels of aggressiveness. Thanks.

How will having the EGR removed effect emissions for the MOT test, will have Cats on car for Test. Cheers Guys,

bow down to my photoshop (or rather MS Paint) skillzz!!!! Wings West front bumper (im keeping the fogs though, no ducts), crystal clear front indicators, Veilside 2 sideskirts, quad headlights, headlight panel, Z Centre type 2 bonnet, 5-spoke (not 6-spoke) 19s spaced out a little at the rear, anthracite or gunmetal meshing at the front to match the smoked side repeaters and dark silver alloys, relocated reg plate, black/blue seats and trim. (not wide-arch though, looks like it might have been in the original pic - cant remember!) the look im aiming for is fast road/agressive, but not too overstated, with 450bhp to back it up (which I'm getting closer to ac…

Anybody have any pictures of these on a standard TT bumper (the ones that replace the foglights)

Just taken the Z out for a bit of a blast, whilst I still like the car a lot and it feels as good now as it ever has, it just doesn't seem to give me the same buzz it did when I first got it. I know it's one of those things. Like when you meet a new girl and you're at it like rabbits until it almost becomes one of those things you do to pass the time and release stress. I don't know whether I've had enough of throwing money at it. Maybe I've run out of things to do with it. Maybe it's because the weather is cold and I actually prefer driving it with the roof off. Maybe I fancy something more modern without the squeaks and rattles of an 18 year old sports car. Ma…

Have a knocking noise coming from engine, starts at at about 3200rpm, disappears about 500rpm later. Anyone got any idea what might cause this? It seems loudest from oil pump area. The oil pump is only 2K miles old. Thanks Scott

Aparently its a jap import and it has been conveted to a RHD :confused: Also its nice to see him giving it the hard sell for the price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Fairlady-J-Reg-Low-Milage_W0QQitemZ250314220681QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250314220681&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A3%7C65%3A10%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Apart fom that it looks a really tidy motor :cool:
