Hello all! Im going to decat my zed at some point this week I tried last week but the bolts from the manifold downpipe that connects to the cats just snap! So got to drill them out and replace. Can anyone tell me what size these bolts are? and which type I need to get? Cheers in advance!

hi guys the garage have finished my car all bar the map. Its running a map at actuator pressure only and will now need to be mapped up to full tilt. They have quoted me five hours of dyno time. Does that sound right to you.

noticed this today and yesterday, when go round a round about, the handbrake light comes on for a second? ive checked there is brake fluid in there, seems fine?

Hello folks how are use doing? I was wondering, for the twin turbo do you need two boost gauges fitted? cheers folks:D!

Where does the wires from the tranny speed sensor end up? Need to check if I get a signal trough the wires. Sensor itself seemed fine...

I was at a friends house and a police officer pulled up next to me, i was at this point sh1ting it as i thought he was going to have me for speeding or something, but he got out his car and asked my details etc, he said that a blue 300ZX had just been stolen, he didn't tell me any details apart from that it came up on his computer as a "blue 300ZX" with normally means the car is a import, it could also mean that it is the old 300zx (Z31) but keep you eyes out guys! I said to him as he left have fun trying and good luck, he said im not worried about finding it, im worried about trying to catch it LOL!

Can someone tell me the difference in lengths between a lwb and a swb cat back exhaust system. Cheers.

took my car for its test today and ime horrified 1st advice slip with new MOT in 4 years...a split steering gaiter on the nearside:nana2::nana2::nana2:

Just been on ebay and see this car item number 270290440974 he claims its a 350 bhp twin turbo looks like an n/a to me what do you think.

Guys I would like an Indiglo set up for my dials etc. Trouble is every set I have seen are for cars with the built in boost guage. Because mine is a relatively late car it doesnt have one? Any ideas where I can get a set for sensible money with this guage bit? Cheers Mike

Right where do i begin? Having my engine now fully built and ready to go in we have hit a snag. The Pentroof style manifolds wont take an internal wastegate:smash: as the acctuator is in the way on the drivers side. So what i am thinking is.Sell these (Garrett GT28R with HKS acctuators and Leons custom built 5 stud down pipes) And going for something bigger to accomidate these manifolds. What are my options? Thanks Steve

^?

Parked just outside the city centre on the A610 yesterday. Anyones on here?

Grey 2+2 nr Portsmouth uni at 5pm today. Viper spoiler, afterburner rear lights and dark wheels.

What is faster, Based on most of these cars just have a chip or remap, filter, and exhaust. There is one cruising round my area and Im fearful that its quicker................?

After having the car back, I have noticed on start up, the oil pressure goes just past the 4 on standard gauge, then when warm and at normal driving, it settles to just above the zero, I have been in touch with the mechanic, and he assures me that because their is very thin oil in it (better for running an engine in) it will be low, I will be changing the oil soon to a thicker 15w 40 fully synthetic, hopefully I will see a difference, he also said that the gauge are prone to be faulty, the engine runs absolutly smooth, has this happened to anyone else? Thanks

I've had two now, and i'm really getting the urge for a third after going through some of my old photos of the shows etc. anyone seen my old zed? or if you're the owner are you thinking of selling? ; ) Mickey B's dad bought it from me and I think it was sold on to someone on here... bayside blue auto with 18" rims and private plate man i miss her!

Alright chaps just a quick one, wanted to get a rough idea of the difference in economy and performance between the auto and manual non-turbo. I've always been told autos drink more so is this the case and if so how much difference is it. And again performance wise as well..

i don't know how much people look at the other thread when I updated some pictures (I think there was only about 4 extra views lol) so I thought I would start A new one for the new pictures, The car is pretty much done now. Needs the black front bumper putting on when it arrives (being sent today), needs the lights that Paul@SWZ is sending to go in the bumper. Then the ECU just needs to be sorted and we are completely done. (Well the log book needs sorting too). Here's the couple of pics Ive been sent

Has anyone got his number? the forum isnt working at the mo so i cant get it from there.

On the Z1 site there are ali bushes for the diff seeing as I'm not running much more power than stock would these be overkill?

I have an oil temp / pressure gauge, boost gauge and water temp gauge, do I require any other parts to be able to fit these? I already have a boost gauge in the car, is it just a matter of swapping them over? Thanks guys.

hi guys, how much brake fluid would i need for a complete change? thanks
