All thats left now is a spray job and then its up for sale ( i think ) it is running a JD chip, 14 psi and pulls really well and feels fantastic so it was worth it after all ! Will try and get a little vid of it but you will see it on the track at japfest ! :bow::bow::bow:

All my lights have packed up, except for the hi-beam mains!!!:headvswal Ive tried to check the fuses under the bonnet but they're big boxy things, not the car fuses I'm used to.:confused: Anyone got any ideas???:bow:

Hi all, i just wanna say a big thanks to everyone for thier kind words in welcoming me as the new R.E.O for the northeast and north yorkshire, i'm really happy to be taking over from such a nice bloke (big kim :bow::bow:) as you may or may not know he has a few health issues and has had to step down, thankfuly he is still the national meets orginisor and i'm sure i can get some pretty good meets together even though it takes members to actually turn up :x:, but again many thanks to everyone, all the best, Chris (aka snowygt)

Just got a Blitz SBC I-Colour :dance: And it looks rather complex, lol. I have a manual for it but was asking if anyone has fitted one and could give some pointers? I'm guessing fitting the EBC's valve is fairly straight forward, i just plumb it into the existing system. Where do i pick up the speed and RPM signals from to attach my wires to? ? I also have an oil pressure sensor and water temp sensor, Both are metal and have a thread but don't want to be drilling and tapping my engine!! are there any places to fit them ?? This is the box of bits!!

can anyone help me find some bigger front discs. i'm currently looking at fitting some EVO8 calipers but i want bigger discs i know i can fit skyline 324mm discs with brackets but i'm looking for some disc around the 343mm dia does anyone know what cars would have this as a standard size that would fit on a 300 front hub

when i bought my z the guy gave me decat pipes there new and he said he hadnt time to fit them so ive got them here in me garage and i just wondered would they do damage to the turbos if they were fitted ? a guy @ work said they could fu+k up the seals or something like that , the car is running 100% as is ,,,,,, oh and can anyone tell me what grade of erine oil gos into it also ?? thanks

I've always had a soft spot for the wide arch stroseks. To those that have them.......where did you get it done, and how much did it set you back? I seen the black SWB with the strosek on it that came up for sale a few months ago and decided i wanted the kit on mine!!!!

going through wick at 10pm ish yesterday (22nd April) sounded very nice

Im Partway through rebuilding a set of Standard calipers for my car. Just making sure there isnt anything ive missed or should do, so far ive popped the pistons out, cleaned everything up and im about to replace all the seals (using a kit). Should i pre-oil the seals or anything fancy like that, or put it all together dry and let the caliper fill up with oil when i fit them to the car and change the fluid? Never done any before so just looking for some handy hints if anyone has any experience. Thanks

:bow::bow: A massive shout out to the main man viniboy, for doing my new sig, really really like it. :bow: hope you lot like it to. again many many thanks.:bow::dance::dance:

all I can say is wow :dance:

Wow check it out it is the real deal a blitz access ECU for a TT.:bow: Don't see these very often at all.

Hi All, Does anyone know what the advantages the dubree super splits have over the standard Z1 split down pipes. Would i notice the difference?

What's the best stuff to use on exhaust joints? Got one of those japspeed ones with metal gaskets. I was thinking maybe using 1600 degree high temp RTV? Good or bad idea?

....your Profec B Spec II On idle I get about -80 to -85 and when driving, decellerating in gear with no throttle I get -99. I presume that is in PSI as I have set the Profec to PSI, does this sound about right ? CheerZ Paul

Next on my list after my engine will be a set of bigger disks but i dont think they will fit under my wheels as there is already a big spacer on the front and the calipers just skim the inside of the wheel spokes. was wondering if there is anyone on here with the same design wheels who have bigger brakes or if there is anyway to calculate them fitting? is it just a matter of trial and error? Thanks in advance.

can anyone explain this one to me? first thing in the morning when its quite cold, the Z will run at temperatures between 190 and 200 degrees F (87-93 C) after she's warmed up on the way to work. when its the evening, and recently its been quite warm and pleasant, the Z will run between 180 and 190 degrees F on the way home (82-87 C) ...being read from an aftermarket water gauge. is there anything weird going on here or not?

Started to removal or attemp to remove the heads on my N/A and got stuck removing the intake manifold. I have removed the bolts ect but when trying to remove the part of the manifold closest to the rear of the engine wont budge. There are two pipes that are moving when trying to remove the intake, I expect these are connected to the intake manifold and that its these that are stopping it from coming away. If this is right how can you remove these pipes, and any other help on the removal of the manifold will be very much appreciated.

For power what is the best exhaust system to go for? Also what's best a 2 rear boxes or just the 1? the car is a TT. Having problems sourcing a nice exhaust system. Looking for a Jap brand.

I know this Unit connects to the Auto-Ecu but what exactly would it do ?? Was given it by the guys who tinted my windows today :D nice job also... :dance::duffer:

hi mate your pm box is full , can u text me your number so i can call u with regards to zed (0770 4491316) cheers tom

Hi all, I have 18" alloys on my zx with 245 40 18" tyres and after getting a slow puncture on front nearside tyre I found a large rip on inside of that tyre. It must have touched some part of the suspension and I would like to know is 245 wide tyres to wide and would 225 be better for front tyres.

THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE THREAD YET What a dilemma!! In the last 24hrs, I have been offered a 'buy back' into a small business I was part owner of (70's-90's Classic Porsche Spares). I sold my share last year when turnover started falling suddenly.. Business is back on the up :dance: BUT.. it will mean having to release the money sat in my zed :cry: It's a good opportunitiy, and something I enjoyed doing.. Driving all over the country buying up all the old unwanted/unloved/broken down Porsches, and taking them apart :D Next dilemma is, if I do sell my zed, do I sell it 'as is', almost as I bought it back off spongey last year http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/sho…
