spotted blue k reg in somerset about 2 ish ,i was in white van i `m the one who flashed my lights ...

a white uk twin turbo on an L plate. what are you doing with a crook lock on a zed :tongue:

Started my baby yesterday morning and an awful lot of smoke poured out of the exhaust, left and right.... Smelt a little oily, but...after a short drive, cleared completely. Now it's either the PSV, the turbo's are dying, or there is an oil leak into the turbo's. Boost is still fine, and my oil pressure appears ok.... I don't want my tubs to be dead or dying..... NOOOooooo :headvswal

hi there, car is up and running and enjoying it, boost controller fitted and holds boost perfectly, I am boosting to about 11 to 12 psi, only problem i get is that sometimes as I accelerate I can hear pinking, I have checked the ECU and get a code 55 so thats all ok, done the timing and thats spot on, so any ideas what would cause this? do I need to chip the ECU to provide more fueling under acceleration? anyone got one spare, lol Thanks Brian

Aiming for around 500hp and the kit from Z1 seems good. Can I keep the engine stock or do I have to replace some parts?? Also.. Got a manual but might put in an engine from an auto. Is there anything that needs to be done/replaced?

My girlfriend has crashed my car. Unfortunately it appears it is a write off and as she was only 3rd party so i am trying to ascertain what is salvageable :( The rear wheel hit the curb with enough force to crack off a piece of the edge of the alloy and actually bend the wheel inwards at the bottom. How would the suspension, hicas arms etc have likely fared? I just had brand new KYB AGX fitted so would be good if they were still intact. Thanks One more zed down.....

Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction for the number of adrian flux. I saw one on here for members that includes a discount

Have a good day, Hope phil is fulfilling your every need. :) :duffer:

Finally my tyre woes are over, You see when i brought my car in 2006 the goodyear tyres that came with the car had gone all hard from the trip over from Japan. The hard rubber made the tyres make this rolling sound which when all 4 wheels where on was very loud and annoying to listento. About 1 month after owning the car i got what i thought were 6 zx rims with good tyres on them to only find 6 skyline rims with 3 x 2 different pairs of tyres on all 6 rims Anyways atm they were better then the tyres that came with the car so i made do with the tyres i had. A few months back i finally transfered my 2 rear tyres from the skyline rims to my zx rims but couldnt do …

just seen this kit on a zed, like the front but not so sure of rear what you think rich

That is the question. Evening peeps. Before I invest in decats is it worth in in your opinion? Jap spec TT '90 with apprx 70k mile (114000km) on clock. Car has trust cat backs already fitted and I'm waiting arrival or apexi air funnel. I'm concerned about speeding up turbo wear against potential realistic driving gains. It's an auto has been well looked after and I will be doing about 5000-10000 a year in it. Hate to have the pipes done and 12 months later have the turbos pack in costing £1000's that I don't have. Any advice or experience would be cool

my new wheels stick out slightly and was contemplating going down this route... whats the pro's and con's? has anybody got pics of theirs done? any help or advised greatly appreciated :duffer:

now im totally in the dark. i have no lights ,the only thing i have is full beam and rear brake lights. i have been waiting for a new relay ( dip , high) from nissan spain as i thought this would solve the problem. no , it didnt i have checked all the fuses that i can see and they all seem to be ok is there any thing hidden or is this a common fault,something a can fix on my own. this problem has been going on for about 2 months now (time waiting for nissan to finally get the right relay) so i really could do with some expert advice cheers in advance matt

I have got to a few Z meets and it is so cool to meet up with the Z people ..see their cars,swap advice,trade and have a great drive and a good time...I reckon it would be even better if more Z drivers came along and got into it..these cars are spectacular in a line up and can't get over how unique each car is;even when same colour ,everyones done something different...These cars like long distance drives ..Hit the open road and get to the meets ! Cheers Rich

hi all has anyone heard or got one of these fitted? a mate of mine has a f1 clutch fitted to his evo 6 and had no probs! also would an ali flywheel be ok with a 6 puck paddle clutch heard bad stories about them chewing ali flywheels? cheers http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-RACING-PROLITE-FLYWHEEL-90-96-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33732QQihZ005QQitemZ150164974915QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWor http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSAN-300ZX-TWINTURBO-LITEWEIGHT-RACING-FLYWHEEL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33732QQihZ002QQitemZ120167408458QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Mine arrived today :) cool bit of kit. I wanted it as i like a discreet boost controller and this one is part of the guage. Anybody else got one? Is so how is yours set up?

hi all, ive got a set of these light weight enkei wheels already in 17" i like the alloys but would like 18" instead does any1 know if the offset of these will fit?the seller does mension a few nissans but not the zed? regards dan http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-Enkei-alloys-Honda-Lexus-Maxda-Toyota-EVO-Supra-RX8_W0QQitemZ170154083012QQihZ007QQcategoryZ9888QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A question for the guy's in the know. A 8.5x19 front wheel fitted with a 235 tyre, with an offset of +28 BUT.. I also have to fit a hub adapter, which is 1.25 inch thick.. Will the wheels overhang the arches too much, and look like "Super fandango's" ? Thanks for any advice :)

I'v just had a look around, mjp, zcentre, swz sites... But found nothing for wheel bearings... Also; Turbo inlet pipes, (only right handside as i'm looking at it) the outer sleeve has a small split... Anyone point me in the right direction for price n availablity. (Tried calling all the above, cept Nissan, :headvswal but could'nt get through.) Also, cheepest place for tyres? My fronts are shagged with the standard camber setting playing havoc with the inside tread. :( In retrspect,with the way i drive the Zed at times its not surprising, so maybe 2nd hand / part worn maybe a less expensive way fwd. Opinions please?

Ok I live in London and that is an immediate conflict with owning a 300! But have notced that when poodling along between 1500-2000rpm the engine doesn't really like it, anyone else having this experience? Everything else on the engine is fine as much as I can ascertain ;) Some people have upgraded their recirc valves on the sxoc and notice that this has gone (ok different engine), and I am wondering that maybe the nearly fully closed throttle at low speeds is causing this problem?

Hey Guys, Have to sell my Zed and the headlight bulb goes, typical! :headvswal Think she is trying to tell me something!ha :tongue: Anyhow, anyone know where I could get one of these bulbs for my SWB Jap 300ZX N/A? I am South Central Hampshire, Can pay for postage or can collect.
