after recent requests for 1 meg resistors to bypass the dett sensor members lose the facililty to protect against "dett" resulting in the £££££'s worth of damage to there motors...an ideal situation is to replace the original sensor but needs the upper and lower plenum removed so ive found this link that provides the know-how to relocate the sensor which imho is a lot better than a resister and still provides the "safe map";) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EZoOcHtv-LI&feature=related

hi. Are there any members in Nottinghamshire who can help me weld up my spoiler holes? Thanks

Hey all I'm trying to get some new wheels and am looking second hand. I have Ksports 8 pots and 350mm front brakes and the 6 pot 330 mm rears. I have found some second hand rims but need to know if they will fit ok? Ive found some 18's on ebay but wanted some advice: My question is can I run 42 offset fronts and 48 offset rears? Also can I run 9's front and rear? Will a 72mm hub be a problem can I sort this with a spacer? Cheers Ron

My name is ZX-EyeBalls:cool: and I take no shit.

As above, is there some way to check these to see if they are working but not properly? As in a certain resistance or something?

I'm in the process of fitting some aftermarket gauges and I have a couple of questions. One of my gauges is an Air/Fuel Ratio gauge. After reading the installation guide, the wiring is as follows:- Red:- Ignition + Black:- Battery - Gray:- 02 Sensor Signal Purple:- Dimmer (conect to headlight switch) What I would like to know is can I pick up the 02 sensor signal from the ECU and if so which pin is it?. It also refers to heated and non-heated Oxygen sensors with anything from 1 to 4 wires. Can I ignore this if I can connect to the ECU?. Secondly, I'm also fitting a boost gauge. What would be the best way to connect the hoses up as the instruction…

Sort of got started on it again after about 6 months due to moving workshop, having a baby etc!! Got the oil lines run to the tank in the boot. Pretty pleased with them as it's the first time I've really welded anything, bought myself a TIG off ebay, a few lessons off Leon at Alunox (who makes it look like the easiest thing in the world, b*****d :) ) and gave it a shot. They're 304 S/S so should outlast the car. Fuel lines run on the same brackets are annealed ali just because it's easy to bend. Also managed to eliminate a big loop I had on the front scavenge satage as I couldn't get the braided hose to bend tightly enough without kinking. Just did it in rubbe…

Hi Guys I was just wondering how much you all pay or have paid for 300zx Gaskets? Full engine set or just the head gasket?

Black 2+2 , aftermarket alloys , very clean and shiny heading towards Beechdale Swimming Baths .

about 6 months ago i discovered my det sensor had gone so i was told to put a resistor in the female det connection blocks which i did and it worked fine for about 3 month then i noticed i lost power again so i fiddled with the resistor and it worked again and now the problem is iv lost power again it seems to be the same power i lost when the det sensor went iv replaced the resistor and still have loss of power anybody got any ideas ??

thought i would print off the user guide for me conzult-z32-tuner so i can try and learn something,98 pages long and me printer ran out of ink on page 71:headvswal had a quick look :confused: what dont it do? :) dan.:smash:

Thinking ive got a small hissing noise leak, ive searched on here and have made a very cheap DIY one. 1. Coffee jar lid from i think it was either nescafe or iceland. drill 8mm hole in. 2. cut valve from old bike tyre tube push the valve through the drilled hole, quite tight but will give good seal. Make sure to go in from the top of the lid as the base will make it easier to remove. Undo clip that holds the MAF housing, and squeeze in, perfect fit, Took me less than five mins to make and at a cost of nothing. Have only tried with foot pump at the mo, but have found the leak already. If using a pressure line i will see if the valve has a good seal. S…

I have a couple of queries. Is there any difference between a Jap and UK one? Can you put a UK ecu in to a Jap car? Is there any difference between year models? i.e. series 2 better than a series 1 etc If I have done a manual conversion on a car I know I can run the auto ecu but is it better to have a manual one? Thanks Lee

dont bother with the sound as you will just get bonging, looks pretty cool. Enjoy

hey! This is my Z, it's gonna be in the UK next summer, in Woking, gonna get a complete motor/suspension/body upgrade Can't wait to join some Z clubs in the southwest london region and attend meets! i'm currently in the process of removing my window tint, got the passenger door done, working on the rear and the small passenger window at the moment i took a few pics to post up on the UK 300zx forum, though i might post some here aswell oh, and i know it needs a drop and some camber adjustment to tuck the rear in the fender a bit, but i'm done modding it for the next year or so. It's gonna be shipped to england and taken apart to upgrade whatever i…

Just found this, interesting watching it, little bit unfair that the S15 has a sequancial box but shows some interesting things up bearing in mind the zed was the second most powerful car there!! Mike

gents have done a search but cant find a write up for the manwel conversion is there one about :tongue: cheers dewi.

for some reason since today a wierd buzzing has started to happen whenever i unlock the car with the cobra remote for the alarm. it sounds like its coming from the rear passenger wheel, at first thought it was the boot lock, then the passenger door but it sounds defo loudest around the passenger wheel area anybody any ideas????? also it starts then sometimes stops really quickly, other times it does it for 20 odd seconds, and it stop / starts if you press down on the rear spoiler near the buzzing???

Been to Cornwall for the week and seen one zed.K Plate N/a outside the Cat & fiddle pub in Bodmin.Anybodys here?

Hi Guys, i just fitted my new dash pod and guages, after seeing ianl's i knew i just had to have some. Tll me what you think. Cheers Graham

Hey peeps. Noticed this evening when Athene was moving car this evening that there was like a squeaking noise which she said was from the clutch. The clutch does'nt feel any different and not slipping, goes into gear fine. The noise just sounds like a big rusty spring being stretched. It happens both when pressing clutch in and releasing it. Any help and advice would be appreciated as i'm crapping myself thinking its something big and expensive ie we need new clutch or something !!! and it may be nothing to worry about.

Hi guys, any final dates for the meet this month at llandow. Were half way through the month now so just wondering on a final date.

Hi out there, I have noticed I have developed a sort of drumming or drone type noise. Not speed related as far as I can tell. I have had a lot ow work done underneath, All bushes on each corner, brakes, disks etc. And have tyres only about 200 miles old. Is this a common thing for our Zeds or is there something happening under there I should know about.
