Faulty Maf cause my z to missfire?

:D I've had my Z for 13 months now and in that time it hasn't missed a beat.... always starts instantly and purrs on tickover, A lot of my driving is town driving, so when I do open her up on duel carriage ways etc It always brings a smile to my face( Was behind a CLS AMG Mercedes over the weekend....I kept up with it to ?MPH... £80,000 car:tongue:) Two little niggles that came with the car... air con not working and a litle drip from the drivers targa, well managed to cure the little leak.I put some solution I have at work that swells the rubber blankets on a Litho press... and its seemed to have just swelled it enough and stopped the leak:hyper: Apart from the airc…

With my Profec B Spec II in "OFF" the MAX boost it displays is near 10PSI :eek: (well 9.9PSI to be exact) I understood that with the EBC OFF, MAX boost equates to saftey boost of 7PSI but not saftey "Mode" so the fuel and timing maps stay normal. What could cause this, is it possible I have bigger than stock tubs :confused: CheerZ Paul

As above at Billing Aquadrome on Sunday afternoon, randomly parked all on it's own......... poor thing :(

Are your zeds ready? Whats happening? Any updates from the pair of you:confused: Its been a long long time.

I have up graded my front door speakers, my boot speakers and have a couple of subs in the boot. Theres hardly any sound coming from the door speakers, is that just cause the rears are amp'd ? Have you guys put in an amp for the front door speakers? I'm currently just offsetting the speakers a bit but it doesn't sound right.

I'm hoping to fit my polished power steering pot today (weather permitting), and wondered if there is any "do & don't" advice available from you guy's before I take the pipes off, and cover everything in fluid :rolleyes: Any risk off air-locks etc.?? I've had a quick search on here, but can't find anything.. (twin turbo) THANKS!! :)

Can anyone tell me if the 02 sensors are the same on TT cars from 1990 onwards or do the change on later cars, also are the non turbo ones the same to?

remember me the snake well i got out of jail today so am back

Looking every inch the super car. Very tasty M reg wide arch. I drove by in my drift skyline and waved before turning off at the Caterham junction.

Looks quite interesting. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Shift-At-Will-Paddle-Shift-System-for-Nissan-300ZX_W0QQitemZ160234278273QQcmdZViewItem

omg My car's been in safety mode since i bought it (un-known to me at the time) and i just spent the day fitting a blitz sbc-i colour boost controller. Took it for a very carefull test drive and :bow: :bow: ITS ****ING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had the nose panel off and the targas off. Its a boost monster !!! the BOV's are bloody loud!! Its like having a new car, you actually have a rush of acceleration on boost. Never had it at 7 psi and im only pushing it to 11 psi now! All the money spent, repairs that have been done hours spent working on problems with it don't mean shit now!, i couldn't care less that its still high i…

hi people i have an a/m oil temp gauge, and need to plum it in somewhere? i have been told that i can drill and tap the sump!!!????! (no!) or, after removing the oil filter you can screw in a housing or "something", then the oil filter can screw into that and the housing or "something" has connections for the oil temp gauge to plum into?!?!? i know its a bit vague, but i am sure someone here knows what i am on about........ i think? cheers alan

Too many high kurbs, too low the front end. I have just hit and smashed to pieces my fibreglass SE MONZA nose cone. Anyone know where I can get a replacement. I've checked out Z-centre but was thinkng someone might know where elese to look. Many thanks

i saw this in bristol parked up on the downs and it looked evil , was all black with black lights and tinted windows looked the nutz ;)

I heard there might be a fuel shortage this week thought it might of been all the zed filling up ready for the billing weekend but i took mine out for a drive saturday done over 150 miles past several petrol station and not 1 zed............................where are you all???????????????????????????

Workede most of the night for a show and car looks superb with new trims, polisah and 99 spec lights! Got my 89 indicator bulb holders to fit at last and put in chrome bulbs of same spec as my old clears........trouble is in daylight you can hardly see them flash...whiuch is not good!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry: Can anyone with 99 spec lights tell me if they use amber lights instead of chrome without fried egg and better results, and if I need to use higher rated bulbs? :bow: Many Thanks Dave

Went to gunwharf quay, portsmouth, today, parked in carpark, after shopping parked right next to ticket machines on level U5, very clean grey one, my black UK was parked just 3 rows away. Has 300zx.co.uk stickers on, Waited around but had to pay the ticket as it was upto £6. I recognise the car from here, who are you.

:cry: engine has been eratic for 2 weeks now, had a cough and a splutter then died, wouldn't restart for 20 mins, sounded like fuel starvation, started up, got me home but won't start up again. diagnostic check recently has shown a tps fault, would this cause these issues???? how much will it cost for a new tps to be fitted and set up and any recommendations as to where i should get it done(will nissan rip me off) thanks in advance murf

Hi guys. Finally got around to refitting my gearbox, never done this before and could do with a little advice...apologies in advance if this sounds a bit dense. At what point is the box considered to be correctly aligned/fitted to the engine? I get a sort of clunk sound when I push the box against the engine but there's still a gap of a around 1cm all the way around (between bellhousing and engine) - surely things can't still be misaligned with such a small gap?? Do I just start adding bolts now or is a little more finesse required first? Any advice appreciated - this is starting to drive me nuts and beginning to hurt! Cheers H!

My Zed that is:dance: it was in the car park at work:D Looks like I'll be still be hanging around here then:duffer::cool:

Is it possible to get longer wheels studs for wheels needing spacers?

Guys, as you may know if you met me i'm not exactly the smallest person in the world (6'5") and i was wondering if anyone had found somewhere to get seriously low profile seat runners that would fit a zed? If i could get the seat down to almost floor level it's be great so maybe an inch/1.5 inches heigh, the lighter the weight the better Any ideas? Additionally i found these: https://www.europaspares.com/SEATS/SEAT_MOUNTS/UNIVERSAL_SEAT_RUNNERS___RICH_SSR__2276.html https://www.europaspares.com/SEATS/SEAT_MOUNTS/UNIVERSAL_SEAT_RUNNERS___WITH_LINK_BAR___COB_SSR__2274.html but obviously with that chassis bar running along the front of the seat nei…

What is the best system for performance? dual rear boxes or a single? Escorty racing are now making a titanium system which is a dual exit. I'm assuming being a dual it will sound totally different, flame and pop more. lighter epsecially being titanium. Can it handle as much power? what would be best for performance? it has a 3" pipe from where it joins the two pipes into to the rear box. Will this be suitable for modded big hp 300's?? I'm after that something different which this could be.

All credit for this goes to Gazza on Aus300ZX.com/ I tried the fix and can vouch for the diffrence it makes. The full post can be found here. As a lot of us know, the seatbelts in the zed can stop retracting properly with the result of the latch plate getting caught in the door and causing damage. Ive found that this is not just a problem with the 300ZX but most Nissan cars and there is a repair kit available from Nissan. The problem is with the D ring (the top seatbelt guide) providing too much friction, either from dirt accumulation or the material itself so Nissan in their wisdom have produced a kit with fluorine tape stickers that reduce the fricti…
