Anyne got dual pop ? If so what filters you running. I've been reading up on ways to resolve low rev turbulance and hard braking decelleration stalling. which apparently is caused by the ram air into the induction. This is usually the case when the twin pop takes the air head on from the inlets of the front bumper. Pictures and write up complements of ashspecz. http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg...cal&dtSearch=3 Some say it works others say it doesn't. I may give it a try as it's only £10 worth of flower pots and plastic paint. Then ifthis doesn't sort it I'll go with an additional balance bar between the TB pipes, which is obviously much mo…

The oil leak is getting worse and its really gonna need sorting soon. I'm leaking oil from the main rear seal. Needs changing. Do i need to pull the gearbox and all its wiring etc/ prop shaft off to get the thing off. And is there a special tool needed as its got a splined shaft that goes into the torque convertor coming from the engine. Is that removable so i can get a bearing puller on it??? I'll budget 2-3 days to do it, gearbox only went on in feb so no olts should be siezed etc

Hi all, I bought my auto 300zxTT about 6 months ago on ebay, which upto a few months ago was running OK. I noticed a noise about 3 months ago coming from the O/S of the car, which sounded like a toned down version of a kettle boiling, which came every now and them. The noise graduately got louder and sounded like it was coming from just behind the front wing & door. I checked to make sure that it was not the head gasket or any of the water system, which seems fine. I was in the process of having the car tested when she decieded to throw a wobble big time. I was on the way to work when she dropped the revs down to around 2500RPM and no more. All acceleration dispapeare…

I was thinking about putting together a 1/4 , BHP and track leaderboards. I used to mod the dyno section of this forum, but let it slip 3 years ago when my car went off the road for much longer period of time that I thought it would. Since then the section is a little messy and I though tit would be good to put a few things back in the lime light. After all the 300zx is a performance car so lets see how well we can get it to perfrom. Obviously there's always going to be a grey area around timings, what dyno was used etc, but if people try not to take it too seriously and not b|tch about other people too much then it should be a nice to have. The main area o…

Ok, im looking at getting a steering wheel of someone. I was chatting with them yesterday and was informed that i would loose my hicas etc on removal of the old wheel. I was told you can get a boss (hub) adaption so i can keep it. So my questions are A, is it worth the hassle of buying a hicas keeping boss?? B, If it is where can i get one from?? C, How many people have sacked their hicas?? Cheers

I have a Jap TT but it has the limiter in, I'm heading off to the nurbergring at the beggining of August so wondered if there was a quick & hopefully not too expensive way of doing this to maximise my fun?

Hi people I have posted this problem a while back, but just want to be sure of the problem. While coming on the gas, then coming off, above 3000rpm, no problem. Below 3000rpm, i give it some gas then foot off for approx 2-5 secs, then the blue smoke starts to roll out, foot back on the gas, ooohhh my god!!! loads of the blue stuff, then its clear. As i said before, higher than 3000rpm, no smoke. It's a TT, jap, 555 injectors, hks induction, hybrid tubs, de-cat, manual, boosting at 15psi. Any ideas? Cheers, Alan

Mornin peeps.. Since I had the center console out yesterday fixing the headlight problem I decided to run the cables for a sound system. However we still can't find a suitable place to run the power cable through the bulk head! Where have you lot run your cables? (Pics would be nice if you have any) I'm gonna take the battery out this morning and see if there's anywhere behind there that I can get to.. Thanks! Tony

For those of you who have ever had a passenger in your car at night and they can never find the bloody door handle

I'm not the one with a problem this time :) I met some1 at the petrol station the other day, he's just bought a 300zx too, and half hour after buying it he lost reverse.. he asked me to put a quick post on here if I didn't mind.. Is this a common problem in these? Is there a solenoid that allows you to select reverse (to stop you jamming it in reverse while going at speed, maybe?) he can't physically select reverse. Or is this a linkage / gearbox problem? Thanks for any ideas Tony

I understand that it can be difficult to obtain discounts when ordering parts from the USA. What if we planned a club super-order say eight months in advance - for example, if one person wanted a pair of new turbos, someone else JDM 99 spec lights etc and built up a lot of business to ask the three or four main US dealers how much they would be prepared to do the order for? Shipping costs would also be saved and with the Zed Id be surprised if everyone didnt need SOMETHING within the next eight months? If we put it to our American cousins and still no discount etc could be negotiated then everyone could just go about getting their parts in the normal way wi…
