Didnt want to hijack the other thread, so here goes! I am currently running a 1992 J-Sped Auto N/A with Apexi air filter being pretty much the only mod. What are my Chip choices at this point and what BHP gains could I expect? I know not to expect much, just curious. Thanks

Making some upgrades to the car like 555cc injectors and so on. Need a new chip then. I have JWT chip now. But that is made for 93 octance if I'm not wong.? I need a chip that is set up with 95 octance. where to I get one and which one is recommended?

Hi All, just changed my injectors, new o-rings etc, what I hadn't previously noticed was the 6 x seals around the fuel rail. Is it normal to have to replace these when reinstalling the fuel rail? They look ok but I don't want to have to pull the plenum again if they go sick...I got a full engine gasket and seal kit which doesn't include these seals so I'm assuming they're not normally replaced. Any advice appreciated ;-) RobH

Hi! Some time ago I posted a query as my fanbelt/alternator belt was squeeling, and it still is, like a b*tch! Someone suggested that you are not far from me and you would be able to tighten it up for me? can you give me a bell mate on 07970247207? Thanks mate. Jon

Red TT, Lowered Porsche (esque) wheels, Saw you go past me as i was waiting for a bus ( :slap: need my gear box!!) at about 8:40 this morning

hi guys, r alignment specs diff for a swb, if so were do i find them av looked but no luck [getting better eh]

The project can now finally move on to the next stage... seems like there may be a few similar builds emerging in the new year...

Our new NA arrived this afternoon and boy is she a beauty. The bodywork and interior is in even better condition than my own Z when I originally brought her over and she was an Exterior Grade 4.5 and Interior Grade B! The only exception is the rear spoiler which, like every other Z32 on the planet, has suffered from cracking due to the foam core/water problem, so I'll be taking that off in the Spring, filling the holes and getting her rear-end colour matched and the rest of the paintwork mopped to bring it up as good as new ready for Summer. The only serious problem that needs to be addressed is the misfire, but hopefully, with a bit of luck she'll be running …

Flicking through the channels and saw a couple of minutes of this on Channel 5. Saw a yellow Z with a high spoiler drive through at a "cruise". Think it was in Hampshire but not sure.

Hi all, As some of you know im still new to the zx world so bare with me hehe. Ive been looking on autotrader for a manual twin turbo.

Hi, A week or so ago my driver side indicator stopped working intermittantly,i thought it was just a bulb at first but the fact it was intermittant made me think the contacts were damp, not had chance to look at it yet, i am working nights at the mo, came out to the car this morning and driver side headlight was on, no light switches had been left on though, the high beam indicator on the dash is also lit as though the indicator stalk has been pushed into high beam mode, i started it up, 5 mins of fiddling about switching light off/on etc and it went out. I drove home, parked up and it came on again, i could not get it to go out this time, i have had to pull the mul…

Hello, a freind of mine who owns a garage recommends that I get a treatment of waxoil done on the underneath of the car. He is offering to do it for free for me (or probably giving me the tools and gunk and saying do it yourself... ;) ) What are peoples thoughts on this? Anyone have it done?

Hi Guys Does anyone know if the rear brakes on a 300ZX are the same as a 200SX S14? I am looking at buying front and rear Hi Spec Brakes. They know the front brake requirements. But are not sure on the rears. If i can find out what they are the same as, they can manufacture the brackets without me needing to take the car down. Otherwise they will make on the car, which will cause me a problem. I wanted the brakes, before buying new alloy wheels so that i can get the correct offset. Currently i have standard 16" wheels, but the big brakes need minimum of 18". Any help appreciated. Regards Kev

Hi guys, just got my engine back in after changing the head gaskets and after linking it up to lap-top(via nissan datascan) i have noticed the seals have gone on a couple of the injectors and instead of replacing the seals im thinking of "up-grading" the injectors but have no idea what size to go for?? The car isnt highly modified other than a chip and exhaust but i do want to progress slowly so thought maybe start with the injectors?? Does anyone have any suggestions??

Hello chaps, been doing an inpection on my z while i'm waiting for parts to be delivered and noticed there is no harness connected to the rear windcreen for demisting. This is probably why it doesnt work lol. and i have no radio coz the guy before me didnt wire it up when he put the head unit in. i have 2 questions. there are four electrical connectors on the windcreen nothing is connected to them. 1. where is the harness usually located so i can get my rear window to demist and which connectors are they? 2. if there are 4 connectors does this mean that there is and ariel incorporated into the rear window, if it is i would like toi connect this …
