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…

I'm hoping it won't be too long now till I'm able to buy my first Zed. I've been looking around at ones forsale on the net and was wondering about the whole issue of rust. Is rust generally repairable (I mean properly, so it's as good as new, won't come back in 6 months)? If so what sort of cost is normally involved? Is it feasible to buy a car with some rust and factor in the cost of getting it sorted, or are they generally doomed once it starts to appear? Any advice would be greatfully appreciated Phill

Anyone know a supplier of a good quality silicone replacement for the rubber outlet pipes. i.e. the ones that connect from the engine to the water pipes ? I know I can get the rubber stock ones for $5 each but I'm wondering if there is a stronger alternative ?

I'm hoping to install a HID kit this weekend. Has anyone got the wiring diagram for the relay mod that allows you to flash the high beam leaving the HIDs off.

Hi I'll be in Wichita (US) for 2 weeks from this wednesday. I thought it could be a good chance to pick up some cheap bits for the Zed while Im over there due to the exchange rate. Ive had a look on ebay, and to make life simpler ive checked for items for sale in Wichita itself (Kansas state) to avoid any potential mess ups with delivery. unfortunately ive only found the following (not needed by me!) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300zx-Twin-Turbo-Border-VG30-850cc-Fuel-Injector-Kit_W0QQitemZ130252034546QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130252034546&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A7%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 Dont know much about these but sounds cheap!!…

hi all, has anyone got any wheels similiar to these on there car.. really like them and just wanna see how something like them would look! http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/4x_18_Inch_Kato_Matt_Gunmetal_Matt_Black_Silver_Alloy_Wheels_With_225_40_18_tyres.php

Had the z about 3 weeks and im used to the standard speed now, need just a little more. When i bought the car it had a boost controller in the boot not plugged in. It looks a bit ancient but being hks id imagine it was still able to do the job.

only just got round to it but i would like to say a big big thankyou to DAVEZX he gave up a lot bof his time (weekends) tools, and experiance, to help me fit the new engine in my car , just in time to go down to jae it drove down there faultlessly and back (however we did have a blowout) but without his help this would not have been possible, without sending it to a garage (loads a money). top bloke, and would give his time and help to anyone he could thanks dave also thanks to blackslag (chris) for loan of lift, and hopefully a quick conzult check, when i get time to come round

just noticed brown shite in radiator, ive done a search and it turns out a coolant change is in order. can anyone point me out in the direction of a write up on a radator removal, its the standard jap import (calsonic type) with a calsonic autobox cooler up front. thanks Pete

I think my clutch is on the way out. Could someone provide me with ball park figures of how much it would cost to have repaired (labour & parts) and also how much an upgraded clutch costs?
