I was looking at this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Z32-300ZX-Dual-Air-Intake-Kit-Fairlady-Induction-Turbo_W0QQitemZ260185905415QQihZ016QQcategoryZ40199QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem any suggestions? ideas ? good / bad? and feedback would be appreciated

hi all as i'm about to up the boost pressure a tad, i am advised that the stock recirc dump valves, particularly if they're old (1992 is not young anymore is it?) can leak pressure, so upping the boost can simply make matters worse. and as this is possibly the only time when aftermarket bov's will be of advantage, ive started to look around. i came across the Z1 RFL's thanks to another thread, and they seem incredible good value, but has anyone got any other experiences of them, i.e does it screw up the idle as some do, any issue with the running due to the ecu not seeing the air that would normally be in the system with recirc's in, etc etc cheers …

Can this be wired to say on permanently and or when the viscous fan cuts in to aid cooling? It seems like a good idea to me?

Hi all, Are these tubs any gd for the zed also what is involved in getting them fitted to my car is it alot of work? I know the engine has to be removed etc etc But what other mods do i need to do to get them to fit and working properly. The reason is a mate of mine has taken his greddy twinturbo conversion off his 350z! The kit was bought off the z1 site with the fmic opsion about 6 months ago. I have bought the kit off him hoping to sell the kit on with or without the tubs. thanx

Guys Have a slight prob with the battery being drained right down to nothing overnight, Happened last week twice so I thought it must be the battery and got a new bosch one put on. It's doing the same though. I have tried leaving the alarm turned off etc but it still dies overnight. Anyone know of any usual faults with the electrics or ways to see what is draining the battery?? Cheers

Anyone in Nottingham that can help me fit a new car alarm (just an ebay jobbie). Alarm, Immobiliser, Remote Start etc>? Thanks!

Well after some last minute advice from members regarding the last hoses the car was ready to start with the tempoary engine. So I turn the key and..... 2 turns, a puff of soot out of the exhausts and..... Into life she fires :D :hyper: It's the 1st time I've ever heard her run, I bought the car in June as a non-runner with what turned out to be a blown engine, hasn't been run for over 12 months. Ok she sounds a bit rough but some adjustmets, conzult and fixing a blow from the exhaust and she should be there. It means I might finally get to drive a 300 for the 1st time!

Was wondering, what best things I can do to help my car out. Sadly, the garage is now full of crap and until such time as its unfilled with crap the car is outside. its got a nice cover on it, but alas its still outside. So was thinking, fluids and about starting it when its minus temperatures? not a good idea in the mornings but what to do to make it as comfy as possible?

What can I say….. The man is a legend :bow: Received a PM from him a while ago asking for my address as he had something he wanted to give me as a thank you for helping him with some issues on the forum …….

going around one-way system about 8pm i guess. I think red or black soft-top with smoothed boot and square jap rear number plate. could be completely wrong as i was already a bit pie-eyed by then. I was crossing the road past the station on the way to o'neills only to be booted out of there by midnight.

Have a good one you old fart!!! :slap: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :D

As some of you may know, i have been trying to decide what car to get next. I managed to narrow it down between the R32 GTR and another 300zx TT. Tbh i pretty much had my heart set on a R32 GTR, ive always like skylines and it was something new, a fresh start, a new adventure. Then the inevitable happened, i have realised that it was the idea of owning a skyline that i liked, and not specifically and R32 (truth be known the R33 is my fav, and i would never be able to afford a good one). That was it, the seed was planted in my little head, that little idea of having a 300zx TT in my life again had infected my mind and started to grow. This infection has spre…

Just having a good piss-up with the neighbours. Conversation got around to cars. I'm trying to explain why i wouldn't drive a ford focus, they reckon because i drive a z i fooking love myself, and i'm all into image. i'm trying (badly) to tell them that you only live once, live life and enjoy it. if you find something within your life that gives you great pleasure, embrace it and enjoy it as much as possible. life is so short (specially when you hit your 30's) ;) She understands, but he doesn't. Ford fiesta man. D'ya know why the fiesta is called a ford clitoris? Cos every c*nt has one

Just want to say a big thank you to this club and all it’s members. Friday afternoon I left work as usual, no problems with the Zed. (92 TT Auto) Half way home I lost all the gears, had nothing. Engine would rev fine but when put in gear got a loud whiney noise as it went in gear. drive 30 or so yards then nothing. Would be ok if I turned engine off and back on after a minute or so, would get a loud whiney noise as it went in gear. drive 30 or so yards then nothing. Took me one and a half hours to do the 1.5 miles home. All the time thinking the Torque Converter had gone. Got it to the garage and mechanic also mentioned Converter. Started looking for a…

Can anyone tell me what hubs are needed for a Nissan 200 to convert to 5 stud. Would I be right in saying that either NA or TT front hubs and NA rear hubs are required as I know there are differences between the rear hubs but am thinking the fronts will be the same. Cheers John

Does any1 know of a uk supplier for this 3 gauge dash pod thingy?... yes i know it looks pretty pants like that but i think with a little modification so it doesnt cover the top of the centre console it could look good! i have my carputer screen filling the double din area so i need a new place to house my 3 other gauges to complete my full dakota digital setup... i am considering fabricating the 3 gauges into the area above the centre console, but individually like in the 350z sort of style but it will be a pita to make look good/stock... im not keen on the windscreen pillar pod holders but any other ideas would be welcomed? and no frog style pods e…
