Whilst car was being worked on, I had huge smic's fitted, the aftermarket bumper wont allow for the indicator to fit back in the hole, I want to mesh the hole to allow for better cooling, what indicators can I get and where would I put them, I have taken a couple of pics, any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

what dictates working limit of a turbo is it the amount of air it can compress, or is it the amount of air it can suck.would a ram air system help a turbo work more efficiently.

Put the mines ecu in my 95tt this afternoon. One thing I immediately noticed is that it takes longer to start the engine. I have to hold the key for twice as long before it fires up. Is this expected/known about? I can't imagine it being to do with the ecu relearning?

Just got back from the inter club RR day, and after deciding to run mine I can tell you I am very happy:hyper: It managed 385.8 Bhp With 420 lbs Torque:bow: was expecting around 370bhp, so was surprised and pleased with the result. Will take a pic of result and post up shortly:cool:

Well i'm not a happy bunny....:cry::cry: When i had the car sprayed about 9 months ago, the sprayer (a mate) said that the rear bumper flexed while putting it back on and got a couple of spider web cracks in it... he said if i got a fiber glass one he would spray it for free.... ok no probs i thought, then the rear pannel at the back cracked, where the third brake light used to be... grrr and where the door handles were smoothed the drivers side is startng to show the out line.... lastly there are a few cracks around wherethe LED lights were blended in, so thought i would get it all sorted in one go, a new rear bumper get the cracks ground and filled and the door sor…

Just got my car back last night after having forged engine replacement inc tubs, ic's, pistons, injectors, pully's, clutch, flywheel etc etc, had 170 mile journey ahead of me, the car ran superbly without a hitch, a bit frustrating though because couldnt test it out as I have to run it in a bit, it's only running at 1 bar at the moment using boost jets, but I will be changing to boost controler in the near future. The only niggle I have is the rps racing clutch, its like standing on a stepping machine set at the hardest level lol, wont take long to get used to it though. Thanks again to Chris and the boys.

whats it for???

Chaps and chapettes, hope your all good and read this in the best of health, I might encounter some bias here but I'm in a dilemma, was going to see a GTO tomorrow after having sold my FTO recently when I thought 'why don't I buy a 300zx?!' After having this though my mind has gone into overdrive and I don't know whether to go see the GTO tomorrow for which I had the cash ready! Basically I need to ask this - which is better aesthetically in your opinion -answer with no bias =/ Also I kinda know my stuff about the GTO in terms of economy and insurance, do you think these 2 will be much different with the z? Mucho gracias quick response required to win me over to you…

An item on Piston Heads from the RAC Foundation is suggesting to the Government that this would be a good idea. What the fook do they think will happen with classic cars then, as there would never be any more if this proposal was accepted. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=18825

As Above realy. Please.

Which one of those should fit my Z It's a jdm N/A. I bought h3c after looking back through the forum but the ones i took out seem to have h3U written on them. The bulb i took out has a white "tail" and is considearbly shorter than the first but when i plug it into the loom it still lights up. can i keep using them?

Hi to all the Zed owners, Im still looking for the right Zed, after viewing one and tryin to find out as much as possible about these magnificiant cars I found this one on ebay, as currently there isn't really much up for sale. I wanted a fresh import manual and possibly in silver or black. In my surfing I found this example on ebay....330279465720...Its been up for sale for a while now Ive noticed it quite a few times on ebay. Ive emailed the trader and he has told me that there is no record of cam belt change, so that would be first thing, but apart from that I have noticed from the pictures that even though its a twin turbo model it does not have th…

hi people i have been searching for ages!!:headvswal:rant: trying to find a nice petrol filler cap, rather than the standard dull looking one.;) anyone got one, or know where to get one?:bow: cheers people, al.:D

Ive changed the oil and filter a few days ago also put an additive in with the oil which claimed extra power and better mpg. No improvment on power but iam getting more mpg. On £20 of petrol i usually get 40-50 miles depending on the way i drive, but after the oil change iam getting over 60 miles to £20 of petrol. I know petrol has come down a bit but iam still getting mpg well chuffed.

Can some one tell me please as to why when I look at the near side of a 300zx 2+2 Z32 the petrol filler flap is in front of the rear wheel and passenger door whilst others are 300zx's are to the rear of the rear wheel?? :bow::bow:

Some of you may or may not know i took my Zed on a Student Rally to croatia and back! Made it home after fuel pump wiring melted but is in a bad way! Will be going into Zed world after being off the road for 6weeks for - New Turbos - Clutch - Fuel Pump - Brake Pads - Split Fuel Hoses - Idle Control Valve - Major Fuel Leak (2liters in about 5hours) Been getting to work and Uni on my Skates and getting fed up of the cold weather! Cant wait to have it back :) Should be before the end of the month!! Reason for turbos blowing was Boost controller lead came out thus it was useless and the boost tap was wide open (as EBC would reduce boost) so was hitt…

Does anyone have a contact number for him? Need to get in touch if possible

Hello. Due to being at work i cannot measure the height of my car from the ground. Anyways i was wondering what is the height of the front bumper from the ground on a standard 300zx. I am asking this as im getting a new custom front bumper and it is apparently 1 inch lower than a standard one. Cracked the one i have as it is quite low. Instead of just a remould thought i would rather get a new bumper.

im losing my heated seats. . . Nooooooo Because the new car is a jap i either lose the heated seats or the folding mirror so at the minute iv lost my heated seats. Anyone know how easy it would be to get them back from an auto spark?
