For some reason my TPS has gone a tad potty. Basically when i went out for a drive, first time i stopped the idle went to 2.5k and wouldnt come down. So I went back and though I test the TPS and got a reading of 0.41. Moved it around and the reading didnt change, not did the idle. So i disconnected the yellow plug at the back of the engine, so I could set idle. When i disconnected it the idle dropped to about 950rpm and If i reconnect it goes back upto 2,500 rpm. So left it off. What the bad point in leaving that yellow connector off? What do I need to do to get my idle back normal wiht it plugged back on?

Saw a white zed on Southport coastal road today at 18.30. I was busy test driving my sisters new company car :cool: so i did'nt flash, but i think it was a standard UK zed :) Was it you?

After PJ nicely sent me a hose. I was able to trim it slightly and replce my broken one (one I emptied the bits out that were stuck in it LOL). Also managed to sort out the broken wire (though havent done an ecu check to confirm). One thing i have noticed that my notchy gearchange has now dissapeared. Dont know if it was due to disconnecting and reconecting various hoses to get to the offending leaking water ones, or of the one i replaced on the balance bar was something to do with the clutch.

just too make sure, im certain they do but can somebody confirm these wheels will fit, because i just bought them... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140255227825&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D140255227825%26_fvi%3D1

Does anyone know which man decided to put the ac pipe right ontop of the passenger side lambda sensor restricting access for socket? If you do know who please tell me so i can shoot them dead thanks. If i remove the pipe all the gas will escape right? What can i do?

Hello every one! I'm new to this forum and to 300 zx's, i was just wondering about ecu remaps. I am about to buy a 300 zx tt 5spd man jdm and was wondering what would be the best remap for it? What sort of power i could expect? How much would it be? Where would the best place be to get it done im in Watford. Thank you in advance.

Just got my new side skirts. Got them off ebay. Was a bit worried as they were coming from Poland but they have arrived and are of excellent quality :hyper::hyper: Just waiting for my rear now :)

Hi, Can anyone tell me the right size socket to remove the rear hub from the driveshaft? Cheers Vijay

Do rear deffusers actually work? or are they purely a cosmetic thing? If they do work, what could you expect to be improved from fitting one? e.g. better acceleration as you would have better grip, better handling? etc. etc. Could this also mean i could remove more weight from the rear of the car as the deffuser will halp keeping the rear end stuck to the road.

Anyone ever fitted mesh to the bottom section of an NA bumper? If so, how did you do it? Thanks

Hi all, been thinking about getting some 19" rims for the Z, do any of you have any comments or advise, how wide and what offset? before I take the plunge.These are what I've been looking at. cheers Paul

Noticed a nice looking RHD vert on the German ebay site........the number plate doesn´t do it justice though LOL http://cgi.ebay.de/Nissan-ZX-300-Cabrio-in-top-Zustand_W0QQitemZ300247805677QQihZ020QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem for anyone interested.

Give me a bell when you can about the tailgate 07590560027.

Hi everybody, my name is Owen, thought id say hello as im hopefully going to be buying a 300zx soon. Im looking at one later on today, its a twin turbo auto, 74k miles k reg import. Ive always wanted one of these cars and made the mistake last year of settling for my second choice of a 200sx and throwing money at it to get it to stage 2. Got bored of it and got rid. Before that i had a mk3 supra 3l turbo which was a really nice drive and i missed it quite a bit. Im not going to bother with all that modding business this time round, just exhaust and some nice rims and leave the car standard apart from that. Ive read the buyers guide on here so i know roughl…

What are the largest width wheels you can get on a Z32 without going over the 16" diametre? From reading I think it's 8.5" at the back of UKDM TT models? Is there a thread with the technical details indluding diametre, offset and width? Thanks in advance! :)

Hey. Does anyone know if the standard wheels will fit over GTR/Z33 Brembo's?? If so anyone got pics??

I saw a white zed today, looked pretty much standard with a private plate on A4 somthing (maybe...) With a woman driving. Anyone we know? Just near lewisham on the A2 ( I think it was, somwhere around there anyway) Near new cross road??

Any thought…

Well it's fitted at long last! Before. After :D :hyper: A closeup. Bear in mind these wheels are 18" there's not a lot of room left :eek: Old vs. new comparison :wack: :smash: :duffer:

Hey all want new injectors but what to go for? I'll never need more than 555's but I have read negative things about them failing alot... 740' s would be running at 60 versus 80% but are a couple of hundred quid more expensive? Are the 740s worth the extra? Cheers

It's been on my mind lately, what with the petrol costs and the amount of money it seems to eat from me when it comes to the MoT...! I dont really think about the insurance much as it's cheap as chips! Cheaper then my old 97 Civic I had! :wack: I think I'm at the point right now where I should sell the car as it would be in my best interest. I think over the years I've had the car I've probably thrown a good £8k at it. What with my first silver Z giving up the ghost and then getting my grey beauty I have now. Now I have the money to actually put her right, I dont feel I should throw that money to her any more and throw it into something more worth it in the …

Hi all, I've got a strange problem with my throttle... A lot of the time (but not always) when accelerating slowly, I get a blip of hesitation. If I just put my foot down, it's not noticeable, but if you feather the throttle it's there. The strange thing is, it seems to be at a particular point on the throttle - if I'm really careful, I can push the pedal in and have the revs build, then get to a certain point where the revs will drop by a couple of hundred, then carry on pushing and they'll build again... Any ideas? Dodgy TPS? Fuelling? Fuel map? I've still got the old 'stalling when clutching in' problem too, if that means anything.

I have saw the normal audi r8 but not this:shock:
