need to bleed my hicas. any tips on the best way to tackle it.

hi i've just brought my first zx tt. ran like a dream at first but now seems to be over fueling. its fine when i first start it up then when it gets warmed up it sounds like it splutters and miss fires every time i put my foot down and the warning light for the cats comes on. it back fires and there is a strong smell of fuel but no leaks. what could be the problem and could i sort it myself, or is it going to be expensive? please help cheers

Some of you may not have seen the Autocar article on the new GTR, so I thought I'd scan it for all you nice peeps :D Enjoy..........

Im looking for a turbo Timer for my dads 300zx for a Christmas present for him. does anyone know any good websites to check because there is so many turbo timers out there and im not terribly sure which one to go for. ive been recommended the blitz fatt by one of my local styling centers and he quoted £70, does that seem a good deal?

I plan to change the auto box fluid over christmas so i need to order the bits to do it now.I've read this http://www.300zx.org.uk/tech_09.htm so i know i need an oil pan gasket but do i need the "o" ring on the strainer pipe or anything else ? It also says use mineral turpentine to clean the strainer, is this turps from B&Q you clean your brushes with ? :D

Spotted un-known Zed, it was dark at the time, coming down from the George Inn at Portsdown hill earlier this evening?? Front fogs were on. tut tut. LOL

im new the the whole world of zeds and im currently lookin to buy one of my own, but while im waiting till after xmas to get it and for a clean one to turn up at the right price ive been lookin into them and cant find a whole lot of detail on what mods and tuning can be done, as for parts either, ive tuned the tits off a skyline and wana see what i can do with one of these now as skylines are just everywhere now. so what im asking is, what type of mods are really available. i cant find a power fc although i can find the extension lead for these cars, i know the e-manage is available too. as for the elbows and front pipes are these made into the exhaust systems for t…

I asked him if he has the dyno printout answer - No! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-475BHP-TWIN-APEXI-TURBO-2-SEATER_W0QQitemZ170176879601QQihZ007QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

When removing the engine on a TT do you recommend removing with or wthout gearbox attached- it's a manual btw. Thanks

Lets hope the pics work... i was fitting an Apexi kit i got from Dan at DTA and when i removed the airbox and saw the AFM I notice it was torn. and looks like so... (providing the pics work!) Do i need new AFM or with it be ok? Kinda tried sorting it as it had a big hole, stretched it out a bit and kinda looks a bit better! any advice appreciated.

Is it possible to remove just the lower part of the engine in order to change pictons or do I have to work my way 'down'?

Firstly i wanna say Big thanks to Mujina to his Led dash/pod guide, was a pain in the a$$ as i'm really not so good with eletronics and soldering irons, But after going through his guide i have done 99% of the lights. You are the man!! :hyper: All i really need to do now is the "ring of fire" around the ignition barrel, My problem is that i have been out to the car tonight and have noticed that the plastic clip and ring (http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?p=447209#post447209 Pic 9 from the bottom, its a white clip that houses the bulb) is missing from my car. Now the question is either can i order the part and just replace it and continue with the …

A big thankyou to all your help in finding a Radiator for my ZED. Its been the worst week of my life driving around in a 1.4 Vauxhall astra with no Bo**ocks. Its now back where it belongs with the wife. :hyper: :nana2:

White Z with high spoiler, turning into Blackwall Lane Greenwich towards the 02 Dome about midday.

Any recommendations were i can source some good side mount intercoolers? And what performance gains are there?

I'm taking the Z to Zedworld in Tamworth to get the Hicas bushes redone as they have worn out. I'm thinking at the same time to get my ECU remapped. They say it costs £300 and gives about 70bhp more. Is this a good idea? Will this have any impact on the turbo's or coolng system or anything else? Would it be better to upgrade other elements of the car first. The car has blitz dump valves, sports air filter, and big bore exhaust. It may have other performance mods but I wouldn't recognise them if I was looking at them.

Whats that tiny fan for ,at the top left of the inside of the car in the middle of the tbar where the interior light is? mine makes an annoying noise.... ahhhhh and my aircon and climate control doesnt work would that have anything to do with it? my heating only comes out hot and not cold???/

HI ALL :hyper: AM SUFFERING HESITATION AT STEADY SPEEDS, UNDER NO LOAD AND REATIC IDLE, PULSING UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 600-1400 :rant: TPS IS FINE, INJECTORS FINE, COIL PACKS FINE, TEMP SENSOR FINE AIV FINE. :D AFTER SEARCHING THE FORUMS I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT COULD BE THE O2 SENSORS :D AM LOOKING FOR ANYONE IN THE SUFFOLK/NORFOLK AREA THAT COULD DO THIS FOR ME AND WHAT SORT OF PRICE WILL IT COST :D MANY THANKS ALAN

guys, one of the elements (if that is what you call it, basically one of the heated wires/lines that goes across the rear windscreen) doesnt and has never worked. Not a mega problem as it in not in a key area and any misting that is covered by that wire eventually gets cleared by the adjacent wires. Just wondering if there is an easy fix for this???

I have not had my Z very long and i have just brought a turbo boost gauge and do not know how to fit it can anyone help please. :confused:

Hi guys, just putting things back together and am not happy with the state of my coolant pipes at the rear of the engine (near the EGR valve - or at least where it used to be ;-)). It's the two larger bore pipes that are worst affected but most are pretty poor. Any help with the following would be appreciated: 1. Quite corroded at the ends and very rough around the sealing area but weren't leaking, would you risk using these pipes? ;-) 2. Can anyone supply Nissan part numbers and rough costs please? (I am sitting down). 3. Does anyone have any reasonably good used items to sell? If mods think this post would be better in 'items wanted', please feel free to m…
