Right i feel im burning a hell of alot of Petrol Lately! Firsty i had new 02 Sensors in 2months ago with Consult and said was running Great fuel to Air! Putting 35quid of V Power (31liters ish) and driving around town, few mins every morning to warm up, most of the time on low boost 0.4bar not using it an awful lot and im scraping 100miles!!! I swear i used to get more like 150miles or is this just the difference in petrol prices making me have less fuel??? Or shall i suspect a Large fuel leak!

Just wondering if anyone's running their Z on Avo springs? I'm considering fitting some instead of the Tein ones I have as they offer a more aggressive drop. 35mm over the 15mm the Tein do. Thanks in advance.

Wanting to change wing side repeaters and front bumper indicators. I can do the front bumper ones they are easy I've had those off already to remove some condesation in the ones I have and seal them up. Never took the wing repeaters off though are they easy to do? Mine are all faded orange and look a bit rubbish :cool:

Dose anyone have a wiring diagam for defi gauges as whoever wired mine up was at best having a bad day.

Bought my n/a jp model from a member here and just going through some of the gremlins a few of which I have sorted now :D. Main one is the Autobox which if in power or normal mode seems to not like changing until around 3-4k rpm but when in hold mode it changes properly, spoke to previous owner who was looking into the probs when he had it and has advised me he had the TPS sensor replaced. Would this need any sort of setting up ?

I have just changed the battery on my key fob as I had to be right next to the car to get it to activate. The alarm is a Coobra 7777. Now it wont work at all. Thought there must be something wrong with the fob so (like a fool)changed it for the other one (which was working) and now this one won't work either. Battery is definately in the right way. Is there some sort of initiation process that needs to be carried out every time you change a battery? At the moment I'm stuck as every time I use the key to open the car the bloody alarm goes off.

Can anyone tell me how to safely remove 3 Greddy gauges (oil temp, water temp & boost)? Also want to remove FET turbo timer & Apexi AVCR & SAFC units. Any help would be brilliant please, I would even be willing to pay one of you guys to come and remove them, I am desperate to get it done ASAP Cheers, Paul.

I have had my auto for 4 years now and have been really happy with it. It is one of the smoothest autos I have driven and to date have had no problems with it (touch wood). I am aware that the majority of the forum favour the manual 300zx over the auto, but what I would like to know is: Does anyone that has done the conversion regretted changing ?

Bought a new steering wheel. How hard can it be to change? Tell me how do you get rid of the electrical plug for the cruise control etc under the steering column without breaking anything and with leaving the connections for the horn intact?

How many front ends/bumpers that take the OEM lights do you know of? Please? Thanks. :rolleyes: Pictures would be gratefully accepted.

Guys and Gals. Ive come across a bit of a dilemma today. I refurbed my wheels the other month and brought the lip on them back to a mirror finish, and they do look good. BUT after a week of using the car without cleaning it, they have started to pit again, and even after a good polish, there not quite as good as they were when i first refurbed them. Now, i was going to change my wheels later this year for a set of UltraLite Nurburgs with black centers (the same as topless has got) the thing is, as much as i love the look of wheels with polished lips and how they enhance the look of how wide the wheels are, I just cant be arsed in polishing them everytime i clean…
