FK57 for nissan 300zx Are they the same? If identical I will be going for the cheaper one of the two! The first seller has increased price to £69.99 as well!! Damn :headvswal

whats that noise when you have the boost set too high like a cracking/electric noise from the front of the engine?????? I fitted my manual boost valve and had to adjust the boost its set at 14 psi now but while i was adjusting and test driving i was running too high boost and adjusting down till that noise went away. when the noise dissapeared i reduced the boost another quarter turn just to be on the safe side.... Car is running sweet but just curious bout that noise.....

Right... I have a 93 Uk spec LWB TT zed. It has 80k on the clock and is an auto. It had a cambelt changed less than 1k ago. I took my 300 out for a spin this morning. Coming off a roundabout it went a bit sideways. Anyway, I caught it before it went too far and headed off up the road. When I put my foot down it was severly down on power. I got it home, popped the bonnet and there was some smoke coming from the back of the engine near to the oil dip stick. When I put my car down the car boosts on the guage as normal but there is no power, it feels like an N/A! I think I can hear the turbos hissing - could I have blown off a boost pipe …

Hi folks, This is a real long shot but the hose from the hicas to the power steering pump has just split. peeing fluid everywhere, car not driveable. Don't suppose anyone has a spare one or knows where i can get one asap. Bloody typical on xmas weekend well fed up nick ps am in surbiton, surrey. have tried rice rocket cos he's local but they're shut all week.

Ok, who's parked on the road joining mine then? Irish number plate and fookin filthy!!!! :)

Hi all, Been building up many jobs on my 300, got a few days to fix them. Problem 1, Noisy belt drive when using heater. New problem I noticed this morning. When I turn the heater system on and it's not on the screen it gets very noisy at this point. I'm guessing something has worked it's way loose but as it's such a pain in the ass place to get to I'd like some heads up on common problems. Picture of offending item Youtube video so you can hear the problem and see which bit is engaged to cause the noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7npIcQjSkEY Thank you v muchly, more to follow! :)

have a good 1 fella :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :nana2:

Just drove home from work and as much as i love my little N/A i've decided it's time to join the obruT club, so i've written my letter to santa but if he doesn't come through then i'll be looking to get one at the end of jan, it comes down to needing more power. :cool: But for the money i'd have to put into the N/A I might as well just save and get a tt. :D

was thinkin of doin my roof bars in black like joely p's but i was gonna go the whole hog and do the bonnet aswell,however i've been told to try it in vynil first just incase i dont like it, do you think this is a good idea, bearing in mind that if i dont like it, it MIGHT pull the paint off when removing the vynil, what do you all think. :confused:

Big thanks to Viniboy for my new sig :bow: It's only the third time I've changed it in about 3 years, but it's well worth it this time :cool: Thanks for all your hard work Vini :duffer: CheerZ Steve :)

hello to all as i started new job i am thinking about a decent car now:) couple of years ago i fell in love with 300zx ( especially TT swb) :nana2: what can i say, just want to have one, even if iam into hondas very very much, however i am anxious about couple of things, and YOU real users might help, if you want :p i want to ask you about your opinions on: 1) if i buy one it will be (mileage not more than 70-75 000 ) '94 + its a bit old, dont you think?? i might expect some repairs, just because of the age, what can i expect that will need repairing ( pieces of suspension, motor??, rust?? any other stuff?? turbos ) and are the parts available?? are they…
