Transfered my seat belts on the doors to my B Pillars to continue my 2000spec conversion project. I had this done by a compliancer so i know it was done right as these parts are part of the safety system so i didnt want to take any risks doing it myself. Basically the comliancer welded a nut onto the back of a steel plate which he then pot riveted to the inside of the chassis wall at the holes for the seat belt mounts. I acquired a set of B Pillar Seat belts from a wrecked ausSpec zed which fitted prefectly. Im very happy with the result and the belts feel alot tighter then my previous door mounted belts did. Anyways here are some pix

Can someone please have a look at this datalog and let me know the problem, could it be the TPS that is cause my rough running?

hi all. I know this is going to hurt a lot of people on this forum,This is what was done to three new turbo's today in work.Believe me i didn't enjoy having to do this especially as my car is a na.they are to be presented to employees of garretts, as the skelmersdale site is nearing closure.we have been producing small batches of thrust bearings,balancing fixtures,test rigs ect for the last fifteen years,but like a lot of industry they are moving to eastern europe.Anyway i hope this does not upset to many people but there is no way they are going to work now!.[ hope the attachment works as it is the first time iv'e tried adding an attachment!.]

Right started a different thread for this in hope of finding some answers, so the auto box is gone, now when i start, ive got water dripping from the exhaust pipes and steam possibly smoke from the rear of the engine bay. What could be causing this then????

Hi everyone, i last left a post when i was looking for a 300zx tt. I am now the proud owner of a MINT condition stock 300zx with 59K miles. I love everything about this car and i don't think i will have another car that is not a 300zx again. I have wanted this car since i was five and now i am 21 and have my 300zx twin turbo dream a reality. I am interested in becoming a member too. Saw someone in stock last weekend in his Z and he flashed me kindly. I got the automatic as i was getting stressed with looking for a good condition manual. My wife (who hates cars) actually loves it but says the only reason is because its a semi convertible and she can get out of junct…

If the timing belt snapped ( :mad: ) what needs adjusting before the new belt comes on? My mechanic said he may need some adjusment info or such before fitting the timing belt to adjust the pulleys maybe? IDK, any info welcomed.

Right then, when it rains it poors, just knackered my auto box, so deliberating whether to have it fixed or cut my looses and get the car scrapped. Anyway heres the thing, dont really mind having to pay out for another box to be put it in, but now i fear that somehow, maybe i have a turbo problem, when i start the car as i have been doing every other day, smoking a little on idle, but when i put the foot down and rev it a little, plenty of white smoke out the back. Is there any way i can tell for sure if i have a turbo problem, coz theres no point having the box redone or a man conv, if the tubs are knackered an all. Have no error codes on the ecu its 55. Oh the car has n…

hi all I am fitting a secondhand boost controller (blitz) to my car, it has no hoses with it apart from the small one to the sensor (head unit) what size internal diameter hose do i need to pipe up all the wastegates etc. to my controller? any ideas roughly how much i would need? thanks for the help Brian

Hi all. Been off the forum for a while, Z has been up on blocks for the last year awaiting some attention. I've freed up a bit of cash to 'waste' and the first job is to replace the standard turbos which were smoking on occasion, part of the reason I took it off the road. Engine is coming out within the next couple of weeks. It's a J-spec auto converted to manual, AVC-r, blitz BOVs (oh dear...), powerflow exhaust (even worse), Blitz SUS, can't remember who's chip (!), KYB's etc. I'm looking for a direct bolt on pair of tubs capable of 500BHP or thereabouts, I'm not doing injectors at the mo' as funds won't allow, just looking to run up to 1 bar reasonably relia…

Does anyone know a mobile welder in the northwest as I need something doing on my car asap? Thanks in advance
