I am looking for a fuel pressure gauge to have in the 'cockpit'. If possible a smoke serie (You know, black when it's not on). Mechanical would need a fuel line to the inside?? What would you recomend? I've been looking at some fuel pressure regulators on ebay.. The ones that there is a gauge on and you can adjust the pressure on. is it worth it? I would need to remove the OEM fuel pressure then, right?

As stated I saw a black 300 on a K plate in Nottingham on Alfeton road heading into the city at 16.22 today

Have recently fitted a new koyo type rad.Have modified the cowling to fit.all is good,but takes longer to come up to working temperature.Is there anything I can do so the temp can rise sooner as it now takes longer for the car to heat up when the mornings are cold? Chaz:confused:

anyone know what would cause alot of smoke to come from the exhusts also turbos only go from -14 to 0 when i press the pedel down. and on tick over the revs are jumping, there is smoke coming from behind the engine after a few seconds of running and it stinks of something burning? i bought the car as a project and was a non runner due to the wire harness being ripped out i put in a new harness from z world new plugs and it fired up staight away. there is a gray 2 pin plug spare and this is on the set of 3 plugs injector 6, and oxy sensor, and this spare one. so if anyone has any ideas please tell me. cheers:bow:

hi how do i remove the restrictor on my 300zx its a import ive been told the car will not go faster than 115 mph car is in klm how do i remove the restrictor ?

Well, after months more work than anticipated, fitting the efi system, twin fuel pumps, Emerald K3 ecu, redesigning the exhaust, supercharger, water injection system, etc....... I'm almost there. Just got to bang a few numbers in the ecu and see if it'll start. Decided to ditch the dizzy and go to coil packs which will be a first for me. So many wires!! The Emerald ecu can store 3 maps which can be switched whilst on the move, so I've set map no.1 to be a normal tootling around town map, and map 2 to have more ignition timing when under boost. The engine would probably melt running map 2 at full boost so I've fitted an Aquamist water injection system to prevent d…

Used to own a 1992 uk manual tt 4 seater, the new z is a late 93 jap tt manual 4 seater, looks a lot shorter than the uk model, I know their is a swb and a lwb but I thought the swb was just a 2 seater, is their a swb 4 seater? just wondering.

Why do my brakes squeel...but ONLY when going backwards???

funny lookin fella minus his z today;)

I actually got around to fitting my dials today :dance: Stainless dial surround, Indiglo dials with DTA dial rings fitted, and a 3 guage A-Pillar pod. Also wired in my DVD player and seperate screen.. I have been a busy boy :D But I think I have killed my battery now ..lol :rolleyes:

Go for a good drive today, with my gilrfriend upto Surrey, not one zed seen then little jaunt through Arundel West Sussex to find a pub, Then Grey TT, give a wave but no repsonse. then two minutes later in Burpham (1/2 mile away) lovely lowered red zed with 5 spokes on. Parked up no one about Grey TT H801*** Red TT - K614ROR Why do i see so many zeds around Sussex, at least 80% are not on here. Stu

Hey guy's.. What's the average price for a good replacement battery for the zed (twin turbo)? Thanks!!

Right. Frist off apologies if this is a FAQ, i did look and not see. i had 'a bit of a ding' in my uk, '94 plate, auto, tt, 4 seater, targa top the other day and i was wondering what other models i can pinch parts from (imports, age, etc, etc.) thanks for all, eagerly anticipated, advice. Jamie.

Can I make a passenger side electric seat out of a drivers side electric seat or do I need different controls and fittings etc. ? CheerZ Paul

I just want to say a big thanks to Andy Duff and Sarah, Andy has had my car for a couple of weeks doing the major cambelt service, spark plugs and some gauges for me, it runs a hell of a lot smoother and the nasty rattle has gone from 1 of the tensioners, i class them both as really good friends and i hope to see more of them in the coming future, cheers Andy and Sarah:bow: have a few :duffer: for me ;)

at about 2pm today.. saw a white zed heading into Pompey on the M275 (where the royal navy is) .... I was going the other way, I did flash and wave like a nut case... but you were busy yacking to your passenger :slap:

Fitted it over two days last week. Total pain to remove the old exhaust which was the original Nissan system (13 years old!!!). Had no joy using a blowtorch - ended up having to drill out every stud :( BUT it all fits 100% spot on. Sounded a bit boomy when I first tested it out but has settled in nicely now. Loud but nicely loud. Also managed to solve the most annoying rattle too. With the new exhaust at around 1800rpm it made the rattle mega noisy. Managed to trace it back to a biro pen lodged under the passenger seat. Unbelievable!

What can i say. There i was in the sun after a day out in london with my wife and family then BANG!!! I got shunted from behind at a pedestrian crossing. Thing was it was my wife sister and husband who did it!!:cry: The damage is quite bad. Dented my rear bumper which isnt the problem but it also damaged and bent the panel between the bumper and lights pushing it up and causing the rear hatch to lift. I cant get it open and now i have approx 8 mm gap on either side. Ive only had it on the road 5 months from the new engine i had put in FFS. I have never had this happen before. I was wondering if and how the insurance would work on a case like this. There is no disp…

Twas a J reg with big wheels (looked like multispokes but not sure as you were driving) and i think it had enzo rear lights from the quick glimpse i caught of the rear end... this was on the dual carriageway near tescos...

Does any1 have a pair of front brake discs... or even all 4 discs, but primarily the fronts that are known not to be unevenly worn or warped etc that i could possibly borrow for some fault finding? Ideally you would be going to Z008 so i can grab them off you then? cheerZ in advance :D

Oh well, at least I have an excuse for losing further testing tomorrow!

Anyone got any idea of how much these are worth second hand? Im toying with the idea of fitting a Greddy FMIC but to do that, i'd need to sell / remove my ARC box!
