Well once again my 300 gave up last night after work i started the car up it ran for a few seconds then it cut out and i found it had blew the 30amp pump fuse so i got it recovered home and had a poke around and bypassed the fuel pump relay and still nothing so tonight i put the relay back in and tested the out put and i had power so then i found the fuel pump cover in the boot and unpluged the pump and tested the feed to it and i had power so then i pluged the pump back in and hey it works again so are the pumps prone to going wrong also on the pump system is it just a pump relay and thats it or is there more ie an ecu?? cheers chris

Seriously considering getting these has anybody fitted them and what if any gains did you get from fitting them?? i know there has been some fitting issues with ebay manifolds BUT.. these are advertised as being fully RHD compatible and with no fitting issues http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-NON-TURBO-N-A-EXHAUST-MANIFOLDS_W0QQitemZ320210065248QQihZ011QQcategoryZ38786QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem oh and it will also be in combination with decats but i can't currently undo the down pipes so trying to kill two birds so to speak.

Hi guys,test drove another twin turbo today that was down on power,it felt more like a 1.0 than a3.0! When i put my foot down the boost gauge went from -14 to 0 but didnt go above into the + side. Ive done searches on here and if it was in safety boost id still get a + reading on the gauge,or would i? The car is a mint 94 uk spec with dealer history,the seller is prepared to drop the price considerably which has rang a few alarm bells! Any ideas if its in safety boost,or if its a more serious problem?

Its the first clear sky we've had for ages and the sun is out... where I live anyways. So I got the zed out, took off the targa top for the first time in ownership and went for a spin. Now I know why I bought it. It looks awesome (even tho mines just about standard). It sounds fantastic. And by god does it feel fast... maybe the fact that I drive a 1.4 astra as a daily runabout helps this! Roll on the summer!! Sorry if this is a pointless post Im just happy my car seems to be running so well! Have a good day all!

I have been having problems with my auto box for over a week now. The usual high revs before changing, only changing first to second(High revs) but not selecting 3rd and 4th? The problems seem to vary from day to day. Auto diagnostic for ECU says code 3...so fitted and set up a know good TPS sensor to the correct voltages, reset the ecu by leaving batt disconnected (over 1 hour). The fault code disappears and the power light stops flashing when ignition first switched. Leave car and re-start following morning to go to work and the dreaded power light is flashing again!!!!!!!! Also noticed power light flickering on even though in normal switch posi…
