Ive noticed that my zed (1993 TT manual) drives alot nicer at night. During the day there is sometimes a flat spot at the upper end of the rev range and its not as responsive, overall doesnt feel as fast as at night. From what ive read this is because the air at night is more dense, hence a greater volume of air entering engine and hence increased amount of combustion. Whats the best thing to do to make it drive during the day as it does at night?? FMIC? chip? or...?? thanks in advance!

I still cannot find a hole to put the vacum piping in for the aftermarket gauge i got! I have had a dam good look! Can i please have pictures of were you put yours??

Check them out!!! I dumps the waste gate into the atmosphere, bet they would be well loud. Any thoughts on performance comparison the the market leads like Greg Dupree 3" expansion pipes?

My son took some nice pictures at JAE. He has a digital SLR Canon 400 I think. Well this picture is a pretty good shot of my new sidelights: I am pleased with the way they light up the whole headlight.:D

Ok this might sound a bit fast n furious and maybe chavvy. What makes a Turbo car pop, back fire and flame? I'm not after spark plug answer or BEE R rev limit thingys. I think a car sounds awesome when it pops. It just adds that tunned sound. Every car my brother has tunned done this but my 300 only does the very odd occasion but when it does it sounds awesome. Both his 200sx and RX7 done it. I believe this is because they are single exit exhaust systems complete free flowing. My previous system was very restrictive. 2 1/4 pipes into a cheap back box and with a H pipe. Would a complete 3" system from the tubs into a 3" pipe then 3" into the r…

ok, right i've always wondered this. Lets go on the assumption you all the right parts to make 800 hp for example but... Lets say you have 2 turbos both rated at say 250bhp Does that mean the most you could get out of your car is 500hp? Or is it possible to get more out of it? with the additional mods. What would these be? like keeping the turbos cooler? heat wrap? exhaust to help the flow better? Nos? water meth? The figures above are just for example. what's i've always wondered is with a turbo car if the turbos are listed to make ex amount of bhp can you get anymore out of the car with the right mods??

hi im new to the site so hope i get ths right. im the proud owner of a 1992 300zx tt manual british car not an import. iv owned the car a week now and got to say wow.... im impressed. the car had been stood for about 5 month when i bought her but started 1st turn of the key and ran like a dream. but the last few days she has developed a flat spot when you floor the excelerator.in fact even if you excelerate slowly there is a defernate flat spot of some kind. just wonderd if anbody had any ideas on what it could be i no she is due a service which if it ever stops raining im going to do as i no this is crucial on the tt models. ther is also a knocking noise from …

happened twice now always seems to be when its bloody raining lol loose all power to the aircon/wiper pod also loose power to the interior lights when it happens always comes back on eventually any ideas what could be causing it stripped it off and couldnt see anythin. cheers

were you the K reg NA Red Convertable behind me on the A6 heading towards Fleetwood about 4pm today (Sunday) ?

Time to show my ignorance again (I'm bl**dy good at that) :o Please could someone explain a little more about offset wheels, and what to look for ? Thanks :)

Saw a black zed in Upholland just now at 4.40pm. I only caught the back end, but it had standard lights and spoiler for sure. the wheels were aftermarket though. Looked nice. :) Was it you?

Can anyone tell me how to remove the rear spoiler, is it bolted or stuck on cheers.

hi Z mates. i have a set of 18" alloy antera wheels on my Z, they have a chrome insert fitted that have been kerbed. does anyone know of a company local to oxford that refurbish wheels. regards bigmo

Some may know i am currently on a Student Gumball Rally from UK to Croatia and Back totalling 3000miles! I made it to Croatia no probs and a fab drive! (Even through Stelvio Pass, cooking brakes on everyones cars!)on the way back on our way to the Italian border through Slovenia we broke down :( Car wont start but we believe it is the Fuel pump as we took the filter off, fuel sprayed out (suspected blocked filter breaking pump)but when we crancked it no fuel at all came through! Fuse is fine aswell! Probably crappy Fuel we picked up at an ESSO garage in Croatia (Even though was a big garage)! Every fill up apart from that one was BP and Shell! So if somebo…

Can the brake set up dics a clalipers ect from the 350 fit the 300 if you have 18in wheels, or is it to much work?

Hey all Not sure how its going to work out but my clutch booster died so I have converted to an NA clutch set up in my TT as I liked the idea of a mechanical clutch rather than the on or off hydaulic one. I'll keep you posted. :dance:

Hi just got my Auto UK TT back from MJP Autos, with new boost adjusters, and a remaped ecu and the rather nice surprise that I have excellent power balance between the cylinders! I was in a rather good mood, so today despite the day I gave her a hell of a drive and she flew! The remap made such a difference! HOWEVER Tonight I have the dreaded "wont go into 3rd gear auto" problem and I am gutted to the max, the autobox has covered 2000 miles since being replaced by SE Nisstek, two years ago, now I know what this means and that it is likely the box is shot, but I just wanted to know if there is anything which could be the cause. Funny enough I have a manual ECU …

if, for arguments sake, i was to go to mr nissan for a set of oem brembos discs for my r33 gtr setup and pay 16 million quid each for em... would they essentially be the same disc as the 3G discs? i know they have slots cut into them but im just wandering whether the supposed cast quality of the 3G's really is identical to the 'reliable' (?) brembos... cheerZ

Has anyone got a fitting guide with pics for fitting the dumpvalves, i did see a link on here a few weeks back, it was a full guide with pics perfect for what i need cant find it, cheers.

Afternoon all, Just started the car after not using it for a few months everything is fine except, the Crank pulley is shacking :shock: How would this happen as I have not been using the car, does the bolt just need doing up? Any advice would be great :bow: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rEy78KoNRdo [YOUTUBE]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rEy78KoNRdo[/YOUTUBE]

Found these pictures on the JAE forum, posted by the Micra Sports Club. ;) [/img]

Hiya. Where can I get some smoked reflectors for the rear bumper? I can only seem to find lights, not reflectors. Also, where can I get what seem to be the OEM side skirts? It seems as though Z centre do not do them!

Any one got a picture of a Zed with a Wings West front on a black car?? Different angles would be good if possible

If you are a zed Club member then why are you over here this morning. Get back to your home site and start to read/download the brand new online magazine. It is absolutely fabulous. I've had to stop reading so I can get my plumbing gear out and move the loo next to the pooter! If you're not a member (yet) then just stare at the front page and weep at what you're missing inside.

Heyy Folks happi weekend! I am decided to buy a Tein Flex Coilover System w/EDFC; What I wanted to know is if someone has these can they tell me how they work? some people tell me they are very hard, I most like soft driving but some other folks told me these can also be ajusted for soft drive and also hard drive and also with the EDFC I can lower the car from the inside without having to get off and do it manually... If someone wants to recommend me some other ones I am glad to hear about them! still haven´t made the pruchase but would like to know first you guys opinion! Most important for me is if they will leave the Z hard as a rock? I don´t like that ty…
