I'm putting my apexi BOV's on today. I'm currently using the stock air filter, but i have a cheap cone performance air filter:hurl: in the garage. Would it be ok to use?(till I get my upgradded one) as I know getting the stock one on and off is a pain?

Hi, Im in need of some advise for achieving the best out of my setup! Im thinking with the spec of my engine now which should be finished soon hopefully:headvswal Would i need a oil catch tank? or maybe a bigger one? Also with the higher spec engines would it be advisable to add a spark aplifier to increase the spark as i think i will be running alot more boost than norm? Link to my spec is below! Thanks Dan

Right today i have fitted my boost guage. red= live black=earth orange to a 12V light. So i have done all that. I got the live and earth from the CD player which still works and the orange wire form the switch for the rear fog light with only come live when the main lights are on. O No somthing has gone wrong. I have no side lights, no rear lights.no lights on the dash but i do on the pods. Then when i go to put the main beam on the high beam comes on with them and the revs drop massivley??? Also when i put the car into any gear the revs increase by about 200rpm ???? I have no idea as it is a manual 1 Of the fuses had blown (10amp) so could it be down…

The very front of the dashboard where it meets the windscreen has started peeling upwards. You cant see it from the drivers seat but outside the car looking in you can see a thin brown strip at the bottom of the windscreen. Anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it? cheers

Browsing over at czp it appears to me :confused: that they offer the NGK IRIDIUM IX as an upgrade to the highly recommended NGK PRF6B-11B?? The Iridium ix can be purchased here at quite a reasonable price... Fair enough the price difference isnt that big but are there any real smoothness or performance gains to be had with the IRIDIUMs? any experiences or advice on these 2 variants?

Hi, well Z is out at last, but I notice I have a rust worm eating away my car. Specifically the rear wing and what appears to be the bits under the wing. And the sills I think. Are these huge expense?

Found this on net Interesting. Would'nt want to risk those openings on a TT though

What have you guys got planned? Certainly some ideas in the unique mod`s thread. Plans for me: Chipping the 16bit ecu somehow. Fitting a boost controler. Fitting the new wheels when they finally finish being refurbished. Make a replacement boot floor cover that`s light and doesn`t rattle about, along with some little tray things to store stuff under. The big plan that i`m thinking about is fitting a 99spec front, painting the roof bars black followed by a black 99 rear wing. Might have to photochop that soon. Last is to tidy up some of the interior trim. Redo a few bits of the grey Alcantara Edit: Forgot about sorting the tens…

Bar above the windscreen. Does the windscreen have to come out? Or can the rubber trim along the top be pulled back / replaced to hide the new paint edge? cheers jay

Saw you going round roundabout by Wainscott going up towards Hoo, looked very shiney!! PS Nice exhausts ZX_Steve

Hi i purchased a Z31 Afm by mistake, instead of a Z32 Is there much difference from the Z31 afm and the Z32 afms?

One last try, been going through alot of problems with my car over the last few months and starting to lose it with it now. recenltly had the following done. New Cambelt New Wiring loom Injectors cleaned and two replaced loads of gaskets and seals replaced including rear crank seal. PCV Valves with new hoses. Replaced Rad pipes Fitted New Fuel line kit New Radiator on its way as the old one is now losing water! Once this was done I thought the car was riunning great. Took it for a blast to celebrate, obviously a wrong move as when I stopped for a break and re-started it, it started to make a fluttering noise from behind the plenum and now seem…

The above was offered to me yesterday by a Mech friend. Manual in the box indicated the shock is manufactured by a company called Gasmatic Int. based in Basidon Box indicated its made fr 300ZX. does anyone know of this product as I'm tempted to buy it thanks

following the droplets of oil on floor, lookt in the engine bay. there is quite a bit of oil in there, splash over the battery etc. dipstick was out half an inch also. this too much pressure? sounds bad. car smokes a bit on high revs, but asume thats the turbo seals.. views please?
