Hi is there any one out there who knows of a good 300zx mechanic in the Crawley area of West Sussex please.

Hi all, Firstly feel my pain, my TT is only about as quick as a 1.6 Civic on the motorway (probably not standard, I only just crept past it), and last night only about as quick as an old shape Celica GT. I'll get it on Conzult tonight, it might not be running right, feels ok though.... it's just wrong. Just been searching through the forum. I ordered a Apexi AVC-R to try to sneak a little bit more boost and see what boost I'm actually making. I've just realised to get extra boost I need more than just the electronic boost controller, I need a chip as well. What is my easiest, simplest option? Quite fancy a Jon Dixon chip (haven't seen any for sale). F…

***Sorry was the 13th June!*** Seen a Grey Zed going through some country lanes just past yate, gave a thumbs up but dont think he seen me :( , had two people in the car and was turning right into someones drive (or it was a lane) i was in the red S13 200SX

Had a knock in the car a few weeks ago, hit a barrier head on and damaged the front end. Have replaced the front bumper and headlights and centre panel this weekend but now it looks like the accident has pushed the passenger side headlight downwards so now there is a big gap between the bumper and headlight. I wanted to know if you can get a new bit that the headlights mount on, not sure if its all connected to the slam panel or not or even how it joins to the rest of the car (i am hoping that it bolts on). Does anyone know if i can replace this piece or do i have to have the original bit pulled out and lined up? Also since the accident the car does no…

i plan to fit a 3 inch back box pipe to the existing 2.5 inch cat pipe what would be the best way to join them?

of where all the vac n boost hoses go on passenger side of a TT...tried looking in the manual but its not all that clear to me i have the tech aus300zx link as well but could do with some clear large pics if anyone has taken some hopefully with the throttle body pipes off cheers chris

As above heading South on the M40 between junstion 10 and 9 Sunday evening....

Hi, does the manual gearbox from a Z fit onto an RB25 engine? Is there any forums that deal wiith this conversion? Thanks

been collecting them for a couple of years now. took me ages to find my first one (yellow) in a classic car show. my parents found the convertable for me and i got the jada one for my birthday this year. the black replica of my car was very kindly done for me by a good mate!! even down to the carbon fibre door pillars and cream interior. he even shortened the gear lever to the same length scale as my real one!!!:shock:

Saw a grey Z outside the import place in bristol by the big pink elephant (dont know what the place is called) on my way back from the airport

I was just wondering what is needed to fit a decat pipe. With removal of all the little pipes etc And what should be done to the holes in the cat when i come to fit it at MOT time?? Or should i buy a pair of cats and smash the internals up. And fit the proper cats for mot time :confused::confused:

i'm gonna be changing the matrix pipes that go from the block into the bulkhead, they look easy enough to do but before i go ahead i just wondered if there was anything i should know, i.e does anything need to come off to make it even easier than it looks

Hi folks, Am finally getting aroung to upgrading speakers. Looking at component ones. I am starting with front doors first. I know i'll have no major problems with 13cm ones but can i fit 16.5cm in. Has anyone done so and if yes was it fairly easy. Many Thanks Nick

Hi guys, does anyone have an upgrade chip for a N/A manual ? Cheers Jase:cool:

I was looking at installing my Apexi Muktichecker and have had a disagreement with it already regarding the pin outs. Baiscally the guide is saying the power is supplies by Pin 59 on the ECU, but testing 59 has no power. Pin 58 has a constant 12v. Should Pin 59 be a power source? With the unit connected to pin 58 it has a constant power, is this right, does it not switch on with ignition like most things?

i know why but i'm wondering how if the waste gate is machanical how does it drop the pressure to 7.5 psi. thing is my GTR only boosts to 0.7 bar and thinging it might be in safety boost, it has a boost controller

Hi, I'm new to this thread and new to owning a 300zx. I just brought mine yeasterday and drove it home some 35 miles. When I was half mile from home the car sounded like a lifter was shot and needed replacing. I checked the oil and it was about 80% between L-H. It has also had some kinda change as the oil is faily clean sort of semi black. I topped it up and thought i'd need to change a lifter. The next day i tried th car and it sounded very quiet again as it was when I brought it. Now I'm wondering if it's having breather problems and i'm planning a change/ clean up of the system. Also the oil pressure starts at 60ish psi and once warm drops to 30psi and under fr…

Just to let you know when you hunt for your next battery that a new number has been released for Jap cars, the zed included. Part number is 031 exactly the same layout as an 068/088 but the dimensions are spot on for the zed, you can even put a nissan battery cover if your lucky enough to have one. Specs of 031 690 Cca 70 Ah Length 255 Width 170 Height 220 The old number 068/088 was 500 to 600Cca 65Ah Length 265 Width 175 Height 220 You can expect to pay about £10 to £15 more for the 031 but should be worth the money for the extra power. Having said that ive had an 068 on my zed for 5 years with no probs.

Blue TT I think it was I passed you in my Grey NA and on friday I saw white TT in broxbourne too. Why am I seeing these all.....

Hi all, Was travelling down a dual carriageway last night and decided to push it to full throttle for a bit. Then as I slowed down in traffic, the car felt a bit funny. (Running on 5 cylinders with a gurgling sound). Saw smoke coming from the rear and other drivers were passing me telling me, "you're on fire, you're on fire!" Pulled over and saw a fire burning underneath the car where the heat shelds are. I managed to put the fire out with water and called for recovery. Now without attempting to start the car again, does anyone know what had just happened to my lovely lady? Cos last night I was nearly crying thinking that my whole car was about to go u…
