I want to get a new system that's a little fruiter/less restrictive than standard can i use a turbo system on an N/A and can anyone reccomend one?

HI People, Just signed up! Thinking about buying a 300zx. I currently own a mkiii supra, that hasn't run well since I got it. only drove it 4 times in 5 months :( So I think a change is in order. have been looking at a few 300zx's. Is there anything to look out for when buying one. I'm Looking for a manual on a '90 plate or there about. uk or import dont really matter :) :)

I have owned the car for a week and now remembered why I sold the last one - they are trouble!! :( When I started up this morning there was a really loud metal scratching sound coming from the general direction of the Autobox. The sound gets higher when you rev the engine. I had a look round and all seemed well and the noise went. Started driving to work and in the first traffic jam the noise started back up. Really screetchy and I dropped it into neutral and it stayed the same for a bit and then gradually faded away again. Although it does seem to get louder when going slowly. By the time I got to work it was nearly constant. The car is a 92 TT. …

Hi All, Seems a few of you guys have joined up to Aus300zx.com so I figured I'd join up here to say hello. It's a '90 NA J-spec 2+2 Manual in Silver. Not many mods so far, got an Apexi pod, 2.5inch front pipes, 2.5inch metal cats and 2.5inch Fujitsubo Giken CatBack (came with the car from Jap... sounds nice though). Also has Brembo slotted rotors allround and swapped to TT front calipers. The wheels are GMAX Racing "Energy's" in 17*8 and 17*9 Got braided lines coming soon and after that I'll start spending more money on the suspension, extractors and a retune. Not too happy with the way the car looks atm, it shows lots of scratches and key marks from it's previ…

have a VB for me .....!!!!.... :duffer: :duffer: love this pic...... :dance: wozza ... ..

Not sure, but looking at the possibilty of selling up, may not happen yet. Depends on what its worth in the real world. I would guess over 30k has gone into the car, maybe more, I darent add it up lol. May just keep the car garaged till next year and hopefully get some use out of it. Ive recently had an extension built to the house and now need new kitchen, flooring etc etc etc hence my thinking. Pretty much a full spec list in my rides section. At present its just been run in on a JD chip, the next stage would be the setup for its full potential, with either the AEM setup I have here or a Link setup. Ive been told once setup, it should be running 500bhp plus and eve…

Ive been looking at buying some pre 94 nismo 555's injectors for my zed as a few of you on here have advised me to do. But ive found some worrying info on another zed site in canada after looking for info on the injectors on google.Has anyone had this trouble??? Well, now I know why I keep eating so many fuel injectors. Apparently it's normal for Nismo 555 injectors to last only a year in the 1990 to 1994 300zx... http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg...msg_id=1535571 Some more comments from Greg @ SpecialtyZ: We have had many,many,many nismo 555 injectors fail in the last couple years and nismo will not do anything. some of the early style injectors …

got mine today , looking forward seeing the difference, especially the winter is nearly upon us. They seem excellent value. I remember you couldn't get hid's for less than 200 last year. 100 odd quid is a big comedown

Heard it a few times now, a very faint beeping sound at high speed, definately a digital sound and now the "car" making the noise. Car is 1992 N/A Jap Import. Thoughts?

hellooooooo, new zed owner in gloucester, need some guidance, no owners manual, lots of shiney buttons and switches, no idea what theyre all for. lol. main one the a/t, hold, power switch on the auto box, whats it for, will i knacker it by having it in POWER all the time?, need some bits too, posted in the parts wanted section if anyone can help. cheers.

well the zed will be for sale in the next month or so, andyduff will be giving it a good check over at the weekend and i will get the jobs done that need doing, an evo is just too much to resist, will get all the reciepts and details sorted and then that is it, i may find i dont like the evo and may have to get back into zed ownership but for now the romance is over and it will be going i need to post this as i keep changing my mind so i need to make it public lol

Blue Zed 'BAZ ****' today 2.00pm travelling east on Whitworth road, Swindon. I was behind you in a Mondeo estate (left my Zed at home!)

dont know how long this will stick around as these guys arent registered traders but i have had a good experience with them that i thought i would innocently share on here. I am not in the pay of these guys and recieved no discount for doing this, their business also does not clash with any of the registered traders on here so i hope there wont be a problem............ http://www.alloywheelrepairs.net I had a little spin a while ago where i cracked one of my rear alloys into a kerb and obviously hit the front one aswell. The lightweight italian alloy didnt cope too well! The rear had a big chunk smashed out of it about 3 or 4 inches long and was badly bu…

anyone know whether they would fit a zed? they are 5 stud. They are my fave alloy around at the moment and reckon they would look ace on a black zed 19" with low prof tyres, drilled discs and painted calipers.....lush!

Was going down the A338 from Salisbury on sat afternoon and there was a red one parked very near the road in one of the villages the road goes through between Downton and Fordingbridge. Might have been Breamore.

yesterday. (sunday) think it was the one sold from scottland a few months ago. gold wheels looked sweet, i wanted to buy it when it was for sale. just couldn't afford it.

Hi all, i'm trying to remove my back brake discs but they appear to be welded on. I have removed the calipers and slackened of the handbrake but they won't budge, i thought these discs were floating so any ideas appreciated. I have given them a bash around the hub section with a copper mallet but nothing. Am i missing something.

Where on earth do people mount the ballasts, do i have to take the whole headlamp out or something???

Are the side indicators on the front wings a legal requirement? I know you have to have front and back but do you have to have the side ones?

As above, has anyone removed their roof trims and filled them in? Would really like to see some pics if anyone has any.

Under Bonnet Mirrors Hi people,i currently want to install some sort of underbonnet mirrors on my zed (LIKE THE PIC BELOW) Now i understand that mirrors are just for show and would break on daily driving So im thinking of getting a metal fabricator to laser cut some thin plates and getting them chromed My question is ,what do people do to have these in there car on a permanent basis,do they use mirrors,or cut and chromed plates, Also is there anywhere that sells this sort of thing ??????,thanks alot for any help ,Simon

How does yours turn on? Does it come on with the lights or when you open the door etc? jay

hi all, car is running nicely now and I am really enjoying it, I tried to get the aircon to work tho, I could only see one valve on the system near the dipstick hole, we charged the system thro that and system pumps, I can see liquid passing under the sight glass with no bubbles in it, but it has no effect on the temperature of the air blown into the car, any ideas anyone?? Thanks a lot Brian
