Got a strange noise under acceleration, its a kind of creak or mettalic rattle and is getting more constant and now i can hear it when not booting it. Could it be a turbo part?? or something else come loose? Got no smoke at all from the Zorst.

Hi all, I need to get myself a boost gauge to replace the stock one so that I can look at getting some boost jets stuck in without blowing up my Zed... I've been looking at these AC-Autotechnic ones (cos they look purty...): S7 Invision Gauges Anyone come across these before? Also, I'm hoping to mount my boost gauge (and oil pressure and water temp when I get them) in my spare DIN slot with something like this: 2" DIN Slot Pod Again, does anyone have any experience with these? Comments? Cheerz!

Hello everybody,i'm french and i've a 1996 300zx Twin turbo car (the last 300zx in europe)...I'd decided to offer at my car the stage III (but is harder to do it with a 1996 car the ecu is different (16 bits isn't it ?) that the 1990-1994 300zx tt) then i decided to contact ash spec... In the first time there was a mistake because they sold to me a eprom for a 1990-1994 300 zx tt... In a second time,i must add more money to buy a Ecu in stage III for my 1996 (16 bits) 300zx then i've received it but my car wasn't run good (grazes,smoke...). In a third time i send back the ecu to ash (with my money) and after two weeks i received it again. I was very happy to try i…

Can anyone tell me which other nissan wheels will fit a 300zx? I just want to fit some wheels onto a car I am selling, so that I can remove the Nismo wheels from it. The car is a cat 'c' write off, and I need to sell it, but want the wheels off. It doesn't matter what wheels I put on, because someone will probably only be buying it for the engine/box/suspension etc anyway, not to put back on the road.

ok after sorting my boost pipe probs took car for a long run today approx 280miles up through the highlands and glens with the company of another zed,3 supras and a lexus running a mixture of a road cruising and b road ragging and open road lunacy near the end of the run i was noticing what sounded like low level pinking when in overdrive low rev just feathering throttle, then when flooed to overtake a coach got loud pinking which i am assuming is det but zed didnt go into safety mode and continued to boost as normal, zed has a mines ecu, hks mushroom, decatt (although has 4 silencers then the back boxes) running at 1 bar of boost ,any thoughts on this could it…

Anyone tell me where the fuse is for the radio? Is it one of the two fuse boxes in the engine bay?

Well after all the hard work to get the car back to working from it's sorry state (until I take the engine out for the new one) all I had to do was wait for the paperwork from the DVLA. Yesterday it turned up so got my tax and put all the bits back together and gave her a good clean. Today I headed out with her for my 1st proper drive in a ZX. IT WAS GREAT!:dance: What a drive, turned a lot of heads, so comfy and goes well to but didn't push it to hard tho;) The car is looking quite nice now so hopefully see you at Japfest with her next week!

Is it possible to set uyp the standard recircs to dump-to-atmosphere than dump--to-metered inlet? I borrowed some HKS SSQV but had to go bacvk to Recircs. Can i just bung up the recirc inlet and leave the recirc open like a dump valve - would this work? Thanks

Took my daughter and wife out to run some more miles in today. Daughter is still in the baby carrier but will probably be upgrading to a car seat in the next few months. The baby seat fitted nicely in the front seat with enough room behind for my wife to sit. I'm wondering, those of you who put your kid(s) in the Zed. Do you put them in the back seat and what seat have you got that works with lap belts and the akward shape of the bucket seats in the back ?.

Woke this morning to find someone had ripped the passenger wing mirror right off my Zed:cry::cry::cry: Just left the wires hanging there. I'm so angry. I live in a nice area, car is parked on the street. Why do people see the need to do this sort of thing is beyond me. Anyway, if anyone has a replacement lying around, i'd be grateful if you'd get in touch. It wont look good on the stand at Japfest as it is!!!! I'm assuming there'll be no issues with me going on the track without one if i dont get replacement in time, is it a must for MOT ?? HELP !!! cheers Dai

Hi, What do you guys use, sponge, mit, brush? Vijay

Who`s been parked there for the last two days? I`m only just round the corner!

It`s the thin felt type stuff that`s on certain bits in the cabin i.e. on the edges where the dash hood sits on the rest of the dash to stop the plastics rubbing and squeaking against each other. Where can I get some? I wanna take the interior out and put it back all sound deadened and with lots of this tape.
