Hey people Can anybody tell me what sort of mpg i should expect from my twin turbo if driven steadily (not that it happens that often) ? Al

Hi just had a few things i wanted to find out, first is the width of the lwb 300 is suppose to be 70" going from this http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=38078&d=1150734364 Could some please confirm that for me. Also the targa top Zeds do the make any wind noise when travelling on the motorway? my gtir did due to the rubbers being week on them. Anythin over 60mph and you could hear the wind.

I had the strangest experience on Saturday night. First my wipers stopped working and then the car stopped changing gear. Testing it this morning it dirves quite well in 1 and 2 but put it in D and it stays in what I think is 2. The engine is fine and there are no nasty noises anywhere. As the fuse for my wipers has just gone again, are both these problems indicative of a wider electrical fault. I thinking it might be the heavy rain getting into to something!! Any ideas?

My ZX is fitted with Blitz dumpvalves and they have never seemed as loud as i imagined they should but on closer examination i noticed that the oridional recirculating valves are still also conected so its not releasing all presure to atmosfer, The question is why?? Is there a reason that the recirc`s are still conected or can i just blank them off?? Will it cause idoling problems? Any advise will be apreciated!!

am i right in thinking that the z takes h3 dipped beam bulbs it is a uk spec tt by the way Thanks Si

1) size of speakers in the car - yes all of them 2) Where can i feed my amp wire thru 3) In the uk cars do they have the wiring for the double din (ie 2 Cd players) 4)Carbon doors and carbon wings - i know bonnet and boots availible 5) can i have 2 boost gauges - 1 for each turbo 6) fmic yeh or no 7) Roll Cage availible ???

is the timing figure on conzult the "autual" timing of the engine or what it expects??? the reason ime asking is because its showing 12 btdc but ime getting a "to advanced type" type of rattle (dett) sound on v-power and with only moderate boost :confused:

anyone aware of info on this site [icould print out] to help with this [so ive been told] not so pleasant job , need to gain access to valve covers, to check on slight oil leak ,thanks

Well today i thought i would swap the wheels over, well why did i bother??? one of the nuts were cross threaded when put on and when un-doing the bloody bolt snapped off within the nut. I'm really not having much luck with this car. I hope my luck changes for week when it goes in to be mapped and finished off.

Sadly Evel Knievel the stunt driver has passed away aged 69 Eval used to use a 240Z, that was chopped-topped by 41/2 inch and powered by a Chevy V8, as a show car

just happened to stop working today. Both sides and no indication lights on the dash. just happened out of the blue. Checked the fuse and it was alright. turned off and on again and didnt change. went to the gym and came out and was still happening. went to a scrap yard and back and still didnt work. went to supermarket and when i came out it started working normally again!! Works now but what happened??? pretty scary driving without inidcators, good job it wasnt dark so i could make arm signals.
