@ 3.30pm Barcombe Mills, East Sussex i'd been out pond dipping with my youngest son...we had caught nothing when the biggest gathering of frogs (eyes) i've ever seen drove past .....@ 30 Toyota Supra's in a convoy :tongue:

Excuse my stupidity but is the manual TT engine the same as the Auto i know they have different turbos & cams but just wondered if a manual engine will fit straight into my Auto or what i would have to do to make it fit?? thanks

Red one with a largo loop spoiler going the other way to me at the bottom of Stamford Hill. I waved, but didn't get a reaction.

The Conzult threw up that my VVT isn't working, you can hear the solenoid click but it doesn't do anything??? I have a wiring problem to the boost solenoids. Could this bee Loom related??

Ok this isn't good, When traveling under acceleration in gears 2 and onwards i have a very bad vibration at around 3500. This happens at other RPM's as well. It happens when accelerating progressively. Its not very noticable when booting it. The whole car vibrates in a pulsating manner and then seams to clear up at around 4500rpm. it happens at different speeds. and sometimes anywhere from 2500rpm I think its gear box as its seams to be the point where the power is going into the box, or could that be torque convertor?? I am going to write an email to the garage i bought it from but would like to offer suggestions of what the fault is …

Hi all. Can anyone tell me the sizes of the stock turbo's used on the Z32 please ie turbine housing and compressor housing Thanks

Sorry for long title :p Anyway, for those of you out there who have an exact understanding of how it works, I have a question... On a coastdown with 0% throttle open, what is happening in the engine? Are the injectors applying fuel? Are the spark plugs operating? I need this information to try and cure a prob i'm having. Many thanks you brainy bunch :D Rob.

Guys, Im just looking for folks opinions on this place. I'm looking at buying a new fairlady and ive found a couple on their website. I've heard some rumours about "avoiding them at all costs" but im a bit dubious! Anyone got any opinions????

Has anyone bought or have any feed back on these engine for sale on EBay? They all seem to say direct from Japan and less than 30K miles! I would prefer to rebuild my own but having just done this and it only lasting 3500 miles before something has cracked inside, I'm wondering if this is an economic option. Thoughts please guys and girls. Jase

Deicded to get some fuel this afternoon (a drive of around 10 miles). Started up first time straight away no probs. When I'd fuelled up I go to start the car and nothing. All the ignition lights were on but really dull and went out when I turned it to start they all went out but the engine didn't even turn. After a bit of messing the door solenoids started operating really quickly and the alarm was beeping but the hazards were not flashing. Then after about half an hour I checked the fuses. Then not even the ignition lights or headlights or anything came on. After a while I called Chunk who came to the rescue and we jump started it and it ran. However, only the…

Had a scare going up to Leeds on saturday. Pulled into services and lo the zed was leaking fluid. from the offside front. Worried the car would overheat i brought a whole box of Volvic mineral water to replenish lost water. Well the engine response never waivered. I was fortunate to stay in a hotel that had a halfords next to it. So i parked up the zed outside. The leak was from the bottle next to the wheel arch. Some friendly yorkhsire chappie pointed out that the leak was from the refigerent\cooler bottle for heating and air con lol. So it was a false alarm. The plastic under wheel arch cover was frayed and touches the wheel on full lock. Which made the co…

Have just installed my HIDs and want to adjust the alignment of the the dipped and the main beam. I know where the adjusters are but was wondering how i line them up. Obviously i need it to be dark for a start! Do i park close to a wall or garage door and check they are at the same level but how do i know they are at the right height and the side to side alignment?

On the A1(M) who gave me the thumbs up as we passed ?

I just seen the 300 v 350z on top gear. Top result dont you think !!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

My 300ZX TT-engine took fire yesterday. All that could burn, did so. A total disaster, I have spent 3 years on engine building, and it was complete in June this year, and now I have to start from the beginning again. I got a story from a ZX-enthusiast in UK telling me that he always leaves his bonnet open when he parks his car in his garage,- due to the fire risk. The engine cools faster then. He told me that petrol filter hose clamps that are not well tightened, might cause fuel fumes and fire as the engine increases heat after being switched off. My insurance company will probably investigate the cause for the fire, so if someone has some knowledge about…
