Hi Everyone keeps asking me what bhp my car is i know its not slow but any ideas I have a straight through exhaust no cats induction hks air filter ztech chip 1mm boost jets I know its hard to guess but any rough idea's Cheers Chris

Anyone got any ideas? my 1994 Zx TT just cut out on me I thought it was out of fuel but not so, we have a good spark,good fuel pressure,good compression and the injectors are working fine.I give up does it just not like me anymore??? HELP!! :confused: :confused:

Driving to see my Grandpa tonight and i got half way there and stopped at some traffic lights, when my car started idleing funny and running bad, then i start to accelerate and its a mixture of fine and running bad, like hesitating and coughing and spluttering - running like a bag of spanners. So i get where i was heading and stop the car, thought maybe if i left it for a while it might go right, no such luck! Start it after about an hour and its still bad, so i know a mechanic very well and he agreed to let me leave it with him and he drove me home. Anyway what the hell is causing this problem???? My mechanic is not a zed specialist, so any help resolving the p…

Ok people, I'm falling back in love with the Z again and need some inspiration as to what i want from my next Z! So whats your 1 fave picture of a Z? and your only allowed one! :p this is mine (for the moment) \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/

Following on from my missfire thread-it still does :smash: I have been to my local auto- electricians. We put new coil+ injector connectors on. Then we checked for an ecu signal, the pulse light lit up on the tester. Still a dead 170 psi cylinder Now i'm totally confused, is the injector fooked?, or is there anything i've not done+ should of?

where the bloody hell is the connecter for these connection on exhaust is well rounded.pls dont tell me i have to rip out half the interior.electrics on drivers seat are buggered and the engine is half way out so pulling the interior is a job i dont relish at the mo.

Hi guys, do i need to remove the rear hub nuts/hub etc in order to remove the backing plates ?? thanks.

My 92 Uk TT has had a misfire for a couple of weeks now, it is only occuring in 4th gear when its coming up to full boost, the engine hesitates and the car looses power... I have ran a diagnostic and found it needed two oxygen sensors which i have now replaced, i have changed the spark plugs too and i am still getting a missfire in 4th... What should i try next? cheers guys

Tonight my Zed will be started for the first time in 2 years. In that time it has undergone a rebuild and modded. Scary :mac1:

Ok been thinking about selling the zed, but the price's are so low. i paid 4k last march and now it's only worth 3k if i'm lucky. could it be that as fuel goes up the price wll come down. there is NO WAY i am going to sell a car like this for that sort of price. Can some tell me why there so cheap at the moment. i cant think of what i could get for that money thats half as good as my zed.

at 9.30 this morning ime glad to inform you all that a 1993 nissan 300zx came out the MOT theatre with a clean bill of health and a crisp new 12 month certificate and not even an "advise note" :nana2: :nana2: :nana2: 3000 miles since the last one with 62000 now showing and drives as tight as a bow, this is my 3rd zed and up to now has been the best

I have got a a sony DAB stereo in my zed which i have had for the bet part of a year. I am well happy with it and hardly ever listen to CDs or ipod anymore on short journeys. The signal is pretty good with the internal aerial (well it is actually an external aerial that i rest flat in the front window) but the signal tends to get worse if the heaters and /or the headlights are on. they are now HID headlights but not sure if they are better, worse or the same for interference than the std ones. I know i should afix the aerial outside if i want better signal but i dont want to ruin the lines of the car or be drilling holes into the bodywork. The signal is fine wit…

Is it possible to get my road tax without the mot certificat present? it will be mot and i could have the number off the mot certificate if there is one. I thought about taxing it online as all you need is the number off your v5 and reg number and the system checks for the insurance and tax but i read on their website that if you purchase your tax online it is still illegal to drive the car without the tax disk present. although you only just did it online. So i need to get my tax from the post office but without the mot certificate present.

On Western Avenue about 7.20 this morning?

What do you all reckon, fuel costs and time there and back if travelling at night? Driving an N/A there and a TT back. 193 miles each way?

Hello Everyone! Just thought I would ask this long shot! I am swapping my N/A with 300zxtubs TT, only thing is, he lives in Paignton and I live in Nottingham! He can’t get to me and I will find it difficult to get down there (I will if I have no choice). Is there any one from down south that will be coming up to Nottingham at any point in the near future who can collect his car and bring it to me, and then back on the way down take my car to him? I would be extremely grateful if anyone can help!

If for any reason your door cards need to be removed at a bodyshop or audio shop etc. DO IT YOURSELF!!!!!!! I was reminded of this while retrimming at the weekend. i found the top peice which is parallel to the window had been pulled off, breaking the small screw housing at the very top on each side, and siliconed back together. there was more surprises too.the clips at the bottom were in shit, screws and screw covers were missing. This really pisses me off. It's not rocket science but because of the unique door design you should go in there with your tools and do it yourself. TBH I meant to post this ages ago since i had it back from the bodyshop. Obviousl…

as above im just woundering what bhp you can get out of a 300zx n\a and what sort of mods would you have to do COME ON MOD KINGS GIVE ME SOME INFO :hyper: :nana2:

Hi All. Could anyone tell me if there is an article on what to do with the gearbox wiring when doing a auto/manual convertion.

Iv'e put a poll in the cars for sale sec & would like your honest opinions please if you will ;)

Not sure if this is the right thing to do yet. I have been looking for a Skyline for a short while so have had the Zed repainted on the front (stone chip city no more) It has got 10 or so months left on the MOT & is is mint knick. Or should I say was unitill I appear to have got a broken ring on cylender 4. The car was fine untill I started looking to sell her. This has been the only thing that has gone wrong in over 30k miles as a daily driver. She now smokes like China lol. Do I put a new lump in, sell as is for a reduced price knowing what needs doing or break & be done with it. Anyone who knows this car will know she's a real looker with full cream leather, Bo…

Obviously the spoiler on mine is going goosed.... so if i were to rip it of can i just stick a 99 spec straight on it? ..... Im assuming life would just be too easy if it happened to have the same mounting holes as the old foam effort? Or does it need some boot skin/massive fundage in order to make it look right? Also 99 spec front end, im under the impression that just bolts on (quick rattle can etc ;)) to fix the lack of paint and general rubbish condition of the front end of the car?
