Hi i have a AVC-R boost controller installed with a Jwt stage 1 remap. My question is should these connectors be connected or not? See pics. They were both disconnected. What happened was the car would get to about 4000rpm on full throtle and then it would missfire pop and bang and all that when i looked under the bonnet i saw them disconnected and re connected them. Since then it has been fine but i think they are ment to be disconnected. If they should be disconnected has anybody got any ideas what could be causing the problem after 4000rpm? Here are the pics

Anyone Evre Paid A Lad In Shields For Parts And Never Got Them??? Get Back To Me

Since I got my car back from Ztech, it hasn't been boosting right. Positive boost doesn't really get going until about 4.5k revs and peaks at about 5psi (aftermarket gauge, Profec B switched off). Having spoken to other owners with T28 tubs, there is deffo something amiss :( I've only driven the car once since my leaking injector was fixed, and whilst trying to diagnose the boost issue, something metallic pinged off under the car at "full" boost (could have been something on the road but I suspect the car dropped something that was badly fitted). I got home, parked it up in my garage, locked the doors and left it there... I've booked my Zed for it's MOT tomor…

Silver Zed on M56 eastbound near Runcorn about 2.30pm this afternoon. Looked pretty standard apart from twin single-exit exhausts.

who would like two of these turbo's on there z

Saw a lovely looking Silver Zed coming out of Windsor going Ascot/M3 bound on Saturday 1st September, very nicely indeed.

Hi Guys, Been looking at a Big brake upgrade, and as both the front and rear pads are brand new (80 miles :shock: ) was thinking of swapping over the Calipers. what i mean is the bigger brakes come with 8 pot calipers so can i put the front 6 pot calipers in place of the rear 4 pots as a straight swap? Seams a waste not to try, i know i could sell them to the 200sx guys but if can improve the whole braking system by just swapping them over i'd rather do that. :cool: Any thoughts on this? has it already been done? can it be done? can anybody foresee any problems by doing this? cheers Neil

Thanks to Tubz to who was round on Friday to help with the final stage of engine removal. As mgh297's post, it's great there are people in the club who are willing to help fellow members. :hyper: Only thing is now it's out I've found 3 cylinders with broken valves and 1 with a broken piston :shock:

:bow: :bow: :bow: All I can say is thanks so much to Woz and Mark for coming round on a sunday and sorting out my broken brake line. :bow: :bow: :bow: That is what I think this club is all about, friendly people willing to help out their mates. Legends - see you this weekend for a couple of beers...

I bought these and wanted to wait till fitted before i commented, they are excellent casts and are a massive improvement on stock discs. They come in silver, gold or black. I would highly rec anyone to get these. If you do mention the 300zx club and they will prob give you a discount. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-300ZX-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-MINTEX-XTREME_W0QQitemZ200145698868QQihZ010QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Turning out of Bloemfontain Road onto Uxbridge Rd or could have been one of the other side streets on the left down looking towards the green. This was at about 2pm on a match day! You must be mad trying to drive round the bush then! I saw you from the Adelaide where i was having a few drinks before our glorious 3-0 away win!

Last night all my amps stopped working, Its the remote wire from the head unit. Its only 2 months old so can take it back but will have to be sent away, in the mean time, is that remote a 12V???? Can i put the amp remote wires to the yellow power leed so that they switch on with the ignition not just the head unit??

had the car up on a ramp and had a look around, there's oil on the passenger side turbo, Is this bad news?? The underside of the car is fairly oiley????

Jeeze, two zeds on the road, in Scotland, at the same time - and it wasn't even a meet :shock: I was in the silver one heading up the M9

does anyone know the BHP of a 360 spider.sat at the lights 30mins ago and he didn'y really get any advantage on me

OK, my zed idles around 2k at the moment. Was just wondering if this would have any baring on performance at all I am thinking it would thats all

Well that's about the list of things that are wrong :) However I think it's all related. Car has now started to stall when pulling up to junctions, but also when pulling away from roundabouts. When coming off a mini roundabout tonight I was accelerating gently and all of a sudden it was like I'd taken my foot off the accelerator, no revs and car started slowing. Tried pressing accelerator but nothing it was like it was disconeccted, car just slowed and stalled. Tried to restart but would just turn over, wouldn't catch. Left it for a while, and the immobilisor came on, so turned the key, plipped the fob to turn the immobilisor off and car started first time…

:cry: just put the kids to bed, they're full of anxiety and worry. It's one of those times you can tell kids "I know exactly how you feel" and mean it. we've all been there. At least when we worry about something going to bed we can numb it with alcohol (or whatever lol)

I have had this idea, basically why don't we get a list together of willing Datascan or ConZult owners who are happy for other members to get in touch, if they are local so if someone needs some help with their car. It can be plugged in and give the owner a few ideas and if the user is confident enough carry out a few checks for the owner to help em out, might not be to everyone taste and we don't want the Datascan or ConZult owners getting the piss taken either but I'm willing to help out if I can.
