Hello everyone, I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on my turbo problems and preferable give me good news rather than "it's knackered" or "start saving" but I fear that maybe the outcome. Ok the problem. The drivers side turbo had been making a sort sueeling sound under hard acceleration sporadically and the boost was limited to the 0 mark on the boost gauge. This was fine as it only happened once in a while but 2 weeks ago the car completely refused to go past 0 and would just keep revving but with no extra boost. Up until this point the boost is as usual strong and feels like normal, but as soon as it hit's zero then power delivery is stunted. …

Hey all, does anyone know of an easy way of gettin the small pulley off the end of the crank shaft so I remove it? (at the front, the small on behind the main crank pulley) Everything else has been removed, but can't seem to remove the crank shaft without taking this off. Is it just a case of pulling it off? I've got a puller, but there is very limited room to get aroung the pulley, so no use... Cheers...

SYNTHETIC? What is it and what does it really mean? The Oxford Dictionary says: “made by synthesis; manufactured as opposed to produced naturally” When it comes to oil we think of synthetics as the best that we can buy and that all synthetics are the same but, it’s not so simple. Synthetic oils are not all the same, some are manmade in laboratories with uniform sized molecules and represent the finest quality that money can buy; others are merely highly refined mineral oils also known as hydrocracked oils. So, some synthetics are not really synthetics at all in the true sense of the word and certainly not from a chemists point of view. Granted,…

As above. I have been told that the main differences on the NA and the TT was, the TT sump has the cooler feeds and regulator. Then the NA has different piston oil squirters and the heads have a much smaller combustion chamber. Anyone know for sure what the differences really are. Iknow for sure about the oil squirters

Hi guys, Been looking at 300 zx's for a while and I have always loved them, I still don't know too much about them though (mainly because many people say different things!) I am planning on buying a 91 twin turbo that has 80,000 miles. Its all standard for the mo. I wanna gut it and strip it out and only have the basics in, none of this a/c and electric seats etc. I have a few questions though! How much weight woukld I be able to remove from the car?? I wanna go pretty extreme, no back seats, no a/c, buckest seats and pretty much take out all the weight I can. How many KG's do you think I could shave off the factory weight? Also, I have read …

Hi guys, I was a member about 2 years ago when I had my yellow twin turbo 2+2 but ive forgotten my user name etc so, as ive just bought the SWB T-top manual non turbo you may or may not have seen on Ebay I thought id change my name anyway. Good to be back in a Z and great to read all about what you have been upto. Be cool Jase:cool:

Can you let me know if we have a 300zx.co.uk stand at this meet as I have not been able to see a thread in the national events section regarding this event. And if not can I ask why not

I overtook a black 300zx last reg letters PHW being driven by a female driver on the nearside lane of the M5 heading south near Burnham on sea at 17:15 on the 10th of june. She had her T-Tops off and the wind in her hair :D Was it anyone from here?:cool:

Does anyone know? As i want to know whats happening with my car.

....has anyone noticed, not sure though, but I think the side shot of the red car being filled up is a Z32. Anyone seen it?

As above, does anyone know if they did an NA version or was it just available in TT flavour? :) Cheers, Leigh. (Ooooh my first post of consequence back as a Subscribed Member... ;) )

hi all. just got my zed bk from garage today with a fresh mot . anyways i thought id take it out for a spin as i havent had it for 2 weeks whilst it was having work done. obviously its been red hot today so didnt tempt thrashing it,but when i got home after bout an hours driving i popped the bonnet and to my surprise i noticed smoke coming from back of engine. obviously this is a worry but i couldnt see exactly where the smoke was coming from,has anyone got any ideas what this might be? engine seems to be running ok,but i was also at a standstill in traffic for about 20 mins prior to getting home and opening bonnet so could it be where the engine is just so hot it may be …

Ok the Z is going to have to be parked up for 2 years, and wondering what needs to be done so when i come back to her she'll fire up. so far i've done: - remove battery and put on a timer to trickle charge for 1/2 hr each day - put some moisture soaking crystals inside - put the front and back on blocks to raise wheels of the ground - put her under a huge cover (she'll be garaged anyway) any other pointers, only things i thought was putting in some fuel addative to help prevent rust etc, what do people think???? cheers

Just looked under my car, never really looked at the sills in detail for ages but ive just washed the car and a large part of the chipseal stuff underneath came of as i washed the bottom of the sill. The glove must have picked it up. With the amount of brown under the entire sill, is this the end of my Zed? Also ive noticed a seam down the sill never really noticed it before should this be as it is? Never noticed it on another car before... Someone tell me its all going to be okay! Feel :hurl: atm! Also this is the drivers side rear arch... the sill on this side looks okay. Well alot better than the passenger side.
