Ordering a plug and play ecu from Noz today finally after I clarify pricing. But from his site his expertise here and fair price makes it a no brainier to give it a try. I'm not confident in ordering a chip that I have to solder in myself. Hopefully I will actually gain something from the chip vs the garbage purchase as many of the chips from eBay. Even if only I gain throttle response and a happier revving engine with and increase in fuel economy I'll be happy. Any thoughts? Is the install as simple as it appears with the plug and play unit even if I have the HKS ALC?

First, sorry I've not been on here much lately and not being very active. nothing personal I just haven't given the forum a lot of thought lately unless I got an email notification. I still love it here. Anyway, Although some of you who I talk to in none forum life already know, most don't so I thought it was time to tell people that I've crashed my black zed which I've had for years and years. It happened at the end of August. I've not hit anyone else, just some railings at around 20-25mph. I'm completely fine etc etc, just gutted lol. As to what happened, if I'm completely honest, I'm not really sure, my attention was distracted for a quick second bu…

Just got an email off Stillen, they're celebrating 30 years in business and are giving 30% discount on all their Polyeurathane kits, anyone looking for the lip spoiler, skirts etc. Now might be a good time to get in an order:thumbup:

I have just bought a 93 tt Japanese import Looking at buying a timing kit in USA ANYONE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN 90-93 and 94-96 engines in US

Some dude is selling a set of ksport coilovers that I'm interested in, the only thing I'm skeptical about is the front spring rates, ksport kontrol pro, it says 12kg front and 6.3kg rear. All the other coilovers I'm looking at for street driving has 8/6kg. Is 4kg more in the front anything to worry about, I like my ride and don't want it to be to harsh. My old Z had Megan ez Street with the 8/6 springs and it was a pretty nice ride.

Hi Following a turbo change and phelum pull I have a Vacuum pipe with no home!! - Comes up vertically beside the Oil Dip stick - Larger that the others - Anyone know where it lives? Thanks http://picpaste.com/IMG_0252-tyXNvtYg.JPG

Just seen this nice uk zed,never seen it before,it was parked on a drive way in Halton village in Runcorn,anyone on here?

Hello, I have a '90TT with the full automatic climate. Like someone said it's just pnp to switch it to the later one. I just bought the control module from the dashboard. But can anyone tell me the partnumber from the ECU I need? Thanks, Mike

Anyone thought about transplanting the engine , box and running gear from a zed into a kit car, for example a Dutton or Robin Hood ? anyone know what kits would be able to accept the parts ? Cheers Sayers

what are the best mods to make a z accelerate hard off the line, I had a good day at the dragstrip today, terminal speed of 108 was okay but my launch times were awful, reaction times are bad , but for me that is to be expected, is there anything i can do to make it develop power a lot earlier ?

So I had to drive to work yesterday as i was working in reading instead of central london. This has happened about 3 times in the year I have been here, usually I am on the train. So nice chance to drive the car mid week. Sat in stop start traffic somehow I managed to drive my baby into the back of a 4x4 :'( I looked at a new shop which had opened for 2 seconds too long as we started to pull away, and the fella in front stopped after moving only a cars length. When i looked forward I had a few feet but somehow I missed the brake pedal!!?? I am still trying to work out how it happened but I am so annoyed at myself. So his new 4x4 had some snapped plasti…

Hi guys, any links to sites for Deep Dish Alloys, staggered fitment, ideally want 9.5 front 10" rear. Cheers.

Hi, So I have one of these to fit - Can anyone recommend what I should use to attach it to the rear bumper? I was thinking Tiger seal? Cheers!

Hi guys, myself and the mechanic were just debating on the quickest + easiest way to replace manifolds, turbo's and downpipes. He thinks removing / dropping the front subframe will be the easiest way?? Bear in mind that he's doing me a favour and needs his lifts / workshop space for other jobs, so it's basically whichever way has the shortest lift / space time:thumbup1: What do the mechanically Z experienced people on here reckon??

Does anyone run 18x9 front rims on stock arches/suspension? is there enough room or is 8.5J the safer choice?

So following on from my previous thread I've now bought a good used box and will be fitting it over the weekend. I've got a couple of questions that I can't seem to find the answer to... How much ATF does the box take INCLUDING torque converter? I understand I've got to half fill the torque converter before installation- do I fill it through the front shaft? Are there any other awkward bits that I should be aware of? Cheers

Can anyone point me in the direction of the pictures/explanation of where to cut and weld the mounting lugs. I know Andy P did the job I have looked but cant find the info Please........

Hi All Does anyone no of any parts suppliers either in the south UK or that have a mail order service, i used to buy from ZEDWORLD but its gone !! any suggestions would be welcome possibly needing a new Drivers side window switch at moment as it doesnt seem to be contacting well. Cheers

So I'm wondering how normal this is, as it's something my car does occasionally. Sometimes when it first fires, it applies some serious throttle input. This morning, for instance, it must've hit about 3,000 RPM. I'm sure the neighbours must have loved that at 6 AM, and it wasn't even a particularly cold morning. I know in general this is pretty normal behaviour on a cold start, but surely a VG30 shouldn't do it that much?

First time ever I have seen new SWB exhausts for sale in the UK. Look like Japspeeds. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Catback-Exhaust-System-for-90-96-Nissan-300ZX-Z32-2-Seater-Dual-Muffler-/351845746526?hash=item51eba4075e:g:uYQAAOSwLnBX3~Ct

Did someone on here get a sneaky purchase on ebay yesterday?

Finally got my new tanks fitted and re-plumbed everything to try and sort scavenge return issue. If it all works I'll tidy it up then find a better air filter solution. Thinking of a 'shaker scoop' like the old muscle cars used to have :)

My Zed came with slightly lowered suspension, which gives it nice stance and seems very well sorted even on British B roads. Only problem is every so often it decides to squeak from the offside front corner. Does it mostly when conditions are humid (i.e. All this summer!) and the squeak is there over every bump. Slightly ruins the effect of driving a lowered black Zed when it sounds like a Model T Ford is coming down the road! I've had it looked over by no less than Jimmer from Powerzed who says the suspension I have, while good quality, is bushless - and sometimes they just squeak. His only suggestion is to go back to stock suspension to cure the noise. Given that J…
