Hi guys. I've seen on a few of the rides in here that you can get dash "trim" kits and seat cover kits. Has anyone got these and if so, how difficult did you find them to fit? Also, what was the approx cost. I'm ok with a screwdriver, but do they need sewing or anything else to fit..? Am looking at replacing my old (dead) z, and want to personalise it a bit, so any pointers would be helpfull... Cheers Tony

Hi, Unfortunately, my car recently developed a head gasket failure so I've taken it off-the-road for the winter. Guess it's as good a time to start the various projects I've had planned for a while. Apart for the obvious engine rebuild I am also looking into the exhaust side of things. My car is a MY1990 JDM Twin Turbo and has the original catalytic converters still in place (but with custome cat-back free flow exhaust). I don't particularly want to go down the route of decat pipes (would make the car far too loud) but was wondering if anyone had fitted so-called "sport" cats (also referred to as "hi-flow" cats)? Does anyone have a good known source for these? …

Anyone had this problem? My roof is letting water in on the drivers side at the front of the targa top ( on the painted edge ) Do i need to buy a new targa seal or do i need to buy the targa seal and the seal that runs round the roof and door too ?

The complete aircon controller pod is not working in my Z. Checked all fuses and relays in footwell and under bonet. Changed pod over aswell. Still no joy. I know other people have had this same senario, but I can't remember what they had to do ? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Silver or grey Zed coming up the hill I was going down to Romsey Hampshire on the A27 gave you a flash got a thumbs up. Good stuff

I got in the car today after work noticed the blue neon on the sills out both sides,is it a fuse or bulbs that need changing any advice.Some kid knocked my wing mirror off no relation to them,father said he would buy new one he's in for a shock,£310 for part not fitted or sprayed.

Have heard from a reliable source, that tesco are winding down their supplies of 99ron, not sure of the reasons, or if it affects all stores yet. Have been using it for about 2yrs now, never any probs, bit of a shame really, as it's quite local to me... :(

Before anyone asks; I know it's me , but they ARE fitted correctly. They are the zcentre ones, so tried and tested. I've tried adjusting them vertically+horizontally but all i get is dim whitish light. I've now come to the conclusion that my lights are so dirty inside the units that i've no choice but to remove them take them apart and clean them. Wasn't expecting this. I was so dissapointed last night, I was convinced i had done something wrong. But I checked everything today, earthed to the body, dips come on with head beams etc. so it's not the hid's, it's the light enclosure i'm pretty sure. …

As the title says is a ECU chip needed to run higher than stock boost with boost controller ? Z-Tech tell it ain't. Anyone ? Lloyd

Anyone ever got round to making a set of these? http://www.clearcorners.com/products/nissan/300zx2/imgs/featcarA06.jpg Would love a set but a little too pricey... Cheers Alex

I know this will open a can of worms about bov's being crap and you are better of with re-circs but here goes. I have an auto zed and i just want to know how they would opperate on an auto. As you dont take your foot off the the throttle between changes would they only sound when you took your foot off or would they sound between gears ? Has anyone on here fitted them to an auto?

I need to buy a new MAF and have seen quite a few on ebay, they all claim to be for 300's but do they need to be exactly the same part number. My MAF part number is 22680 30P00, will one with part number 22680 6IU00 work ok on my car?

why do some zeds have the plastic bit on the front bumper like this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ300132100196QQihZ020QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

SO i went to the dyno yesterday but I already knew that the score wouldn't be impressive as I'm running only 0.9bar (14psi) and the AFR at full boost is 10.0 (and the AEM wideband can't read below 10.0 so maybe less...) here is the graph: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/307/p1010478zq1.jpg Why am I boosting only 14psi with my engine? because I can't boost more so here is my question: I have a greddy TD05-16G turbo kit with external wastegate and I'm running a greddy profec B spec 2 boost controller. Can someone make a drawing that explain me how to connect the profec B and where to connect it on the wastegate? thank you for the help.

in jap performance fair play si!!!! :dance:

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
