Questions, questions... 1. What exactly does the "hold" button do on the auto box? the boost gauge indicator still moves, but there is less power/tprque... 2. Is the petrol consumption lower when in "HOLD" mode? If yes then by how much approx? 3. Is there an aftermarket steering wheel that has the Cruise control buttons built in for a TT? 4. Are the turbos the same size and boost on the TT? i'm sure they are sequential, but is there a way to get them both running at the same time? would that even make any sense? thank you

Ok i saw a previous thread on the price of oem engine mounts and a small tear run down my cheek. :cry: !!!!!!!!!!!!120 quid for one!!!!!!!!! :nelson: I also found a thread on the replacement of the oem mounts with ford truck mounts which are cheaper and probably stronger. Now has anyone actually tried this mod? To be able to filedown the original mounting bracket the engine would have to be out, surely theres not enough space to work? I wanna change my mounts but dont wanna have to go thru the trouble of removing the engine either do i want to spend £240 for new mounts. Check this out

heading into london this morning at about 8.45-9am in the outside lane stuck in the traffic jam. jap i think, with non-OEM spoiler and possibly a graphic on the side. I was going the other way in my red one.

Who are the fastest club cars and what bhp are they pushing?

Hi Guys - not been a member long, but i have a ZX, well sort of. it is in japan still waiting to be shipped. my problem is - i am sure the front spoiler has changed. i just want some conformation from people who see these day in and day out from all angles. i have been looking at these for a while now with a view to getting one. one of the reasons i liked the car was that the front spoiler looked a little different 9well it did). to me - the standard front spoiler reminds me a little of a 928 the way the lights are in the bumper then the spoiler sweeps under. the one i bought seemed to have a slightflair out at the bottom, detail at the sides, and look…

Purchased there car from Japan, but before shipping it, got a Japanese tuner to modify it ??? Thx

Finally got it on youtube, for all the old timers who remember: :p

Hi, Looking at electronic boost controllers and have done a quick search, everyone seems to favour the Greddy profec B -spec 2, is this firstly enough equipment on a stock car with free flow exhaust and intake and chip to run at high enough psi to get around 350 at the flywheel? (the car is in good working order) Secondly, an easy kit to install and thirdly, have resale value? As i ideally want this for around a year while i save for a higher spec engine and aem etc :hyper: oh and is this the right greddy part number - Part number: 15500210? Cheers for any help! Ste

Dear fellow 300ZX lovers, I need work done on the zed! I need advice as to where and when to have it all carried out. I need estimates of know how long it will take and how much it will cost. All advice is much appreciated. I would like to hand the car over for X days and get it back with everything on here done. in one go. No timewasting I need to find suppliers who have the following asap so they can be fitted with the rest;1. Rear side reflectors in white or smoke (Mmmmm…) 2. Same momo handbrake handle as steve-300zx 3. New windscreen wipers all round! 4. Right-side pod but only in perfect condition! 5. Rearview mirror but only in perfect condition! …

Hi all. My brother has just had a replacment engne fitted in his skyline (rb20det) a compression test was carried out when engine was fitted and all was ok, but problems have started to arise since it's been run , so another compression test was done and no5 cyl is reading 0 the rest i think are relativly within tolerance,,,, my question is what would cause no compression in no5 when all the rest are pretty ok........ thanks Jay ps. i can get more detailed info if its required. cheers

Took the bumper off my car and found only one horn. Went to halfords and got some horns as I belive there shuld be two. Can anyone tell me if the Z has positive activated type or earth activated type. Also will I need to fit te relay that came with the or just connect the wires up and see what happens? Cheers Steve

Hi guy's.. I'm considering a front end change on my wide arch prior to my respray. I'm currently stuck between keeping my Strosek front, or the 'Cobra' (zcentre), or the 'Viper' (zcentre). Also considering changing my bonnet and headlight panel to suit a bumper change.. I have a GRP SE Monza bonnet and matching headlight panel to fit, but this won't fit the Strosek style bumper fitment, or the two zcentre bumpers pictured :( Opinions please.. Or alternative bumper suggestions CURRENT STROSEK VIPER.. WITH OR WITHOUT SIDE SCOOPS COBRA

The speedo on my convertible ZX keeps dropping to zero now and again, sometimes it's ok but sometimes it will also be stuck on zero!! had a customer wishing to collect today but he couldn't because of this problem. The car never had this problem on the car before today so it's incredibly bad timing to go wrong, ie at point of sale!! I'm thinking perhaps the cold weather has had an adverse effect on the speedo chip?? So I have changed over the gearbox speedo sensor but it is still doing the same... I am sure it is the delimiter chip gone faulty, does that sound right because I don't really want to open up the dash for no reason... Anyone got/had the same problem …

Just coming home from work and the power steering has stopped working and the HICAS light has come one. Looked in the pot and the fluid seems to have been thrown all over the front of the engine. :cry: So my questions are these 1. Is the power steering pump at the top left of the engine as your looking at it? 2. Are there any pipes or anything around there that could have broken instead of the pump? and 3. how harda job is it to change out once a find a new one?? Cheers all

both front inside edge of tyres wearing away is this a tracking problem or a camber problem ??

I have a 1990 300ZX (Jap spec) which is experiencing speedo problems. It has packed up completely now, but prior to that it would work when the car was just started for about 10 minutes and then stop (seemed like some circuit overheating). I have replaced the speed sensor but it has made no difference. Any ideas, could it be the coverter circuit?

Anyone have any links to jap tuning houses ?? Ta

Just wondered.... Are there any different options too ? LED etc ?? Its to go in a fibreglass standard replacement spoiler,

Hope you have a brill day !! :)
