Greddy Profec E-01 - Looking for a better mounting solution...hoping to avoid any extensive fabrication.....but anyone with a Profec E-01 have a better place to put it ?? Currently :

My Zed failed its MOT on Tuesday with the following; 1 Both front wipers. 2 Front to rear brake pipe (x2). 3 Rear brake pipe (x4). 4 Parking brake efficiency. Got it back today, mechanic who changed the brake pipes was glad to see the back of it. Grand total including cost of MOT was £349.00 incl. Going by what everyone says about the front to rears I was expecting more!

Hi I´ve got a 2 seater coupe with the safetybelts mounted in the doors, I´m not sure if this is normal but i can pull on them, jerk them and even brake hard and the seatbelt still extends with no opposition at all. All the other automatic belts i know would lock under one of the above scenarios.does this on both belts, is this normal ? cheers Maz

After finally putting the engine in, can only get a spark on cylinders 3 and 4, have put new set of plugs in, tried changing coil packs around but still no joy, engine starts fine but very lumpy, fuel is getting in ( as i can smell it) have checked all electrics, which seem fine, have checked wiring loom but no obvious breaks, ecu shows as all is okay. revs to max 2500rpm, but wont go any more, checked all pipes and repaired any that i found shagged. what else can it be, SWZ were helpfull, but ive done what they say, but still nothing, what have i missed as im starting to doubt myself now and getting close to 5 litres of fuel and a box of matches. HELP Stu

As above on Watnall Road about 5 oclock this afto

john-boy hope you had a good day!!!!! :D

Since fitting my new (unwarped) discs on my R33 brembo setup there has been a scraping noise occaisonally coming from the front drivers side so I thought I would take a look. I found the dust plate was scraping so I bent that back a bit. Then I spun the disc and the noise was still there. :confused: I thought this must be a seized piston in the caliper, so I will take it off and inspect. D'oh - I have just bent and crakced one of the brake lines and there is a slow dribble of fluid coming out! It is the little metal peice of tubing right after the braided line stops. :cry: So now my zed is up on a jack and I can't do anything about it. What can…

Hi i read on here the other day about wheels moving forward on somones zed. ( wait for the smart ass comments )lol. What is the cause of this or is it down to the size? Im only asking as i am thinking about getting some aftermarket wheels for mine but dont want that to happen. Also anyone know where is a good place to buy them from with tyres and would i be better keeping wider tyres on the back than the front? Cheers in advance Matt

Hi, as above, I think I have a faulty one, so although I havent checked yet as I have to take plenum off if anyone has any for sale can they let me know please. Or know someone/where theere might be Thanks

Do I need to use in my Zed? Also, where do I fill up (a) the engine oil (think I know this one, lol) and (b) the auto gearbox oil?

Has anyone got a boost controller, I have set it up at 1 bar, i have set it a 1 bar from 3000 revs upwards, is that right or should i do a gradual build up to 6500, also what do i set the duty at, i dont understand the duty?

I'm having problems with getting keys cut for my car. the car came with one key which was a copy not a proper 300zx key i wanted to get a spare so i got it copied by the key cutter onto a generic nissan blank. it looks identical to my key that came with the car but doesnt work. having been back to the shop twice they have adjusted the key but it still doesnt work in the doors and works in the ignition but is very stiff next i bought a proper nissan 300zx blank key (black plastic) and have had this cut from my working key (at a different key shop) however this doesnt work in any of the locks either. the lock shop think the 300zx key is thicker than my workin…

How much would a brand new near side front wing cost if bought from a supplier? Just gauging a quote i have received for repairs.

Guys Just wondering what the size and width of stock wheels are

never used to see any when i lived there LOL! last night saw a white one in Ramsgate, & red one in Broadstairs & a blue one parked up Westwood Cross!! :cool:

I finally did the deed today and removed my AIV system from my zed. Coming from someone who has never done anything mechanical i think i did a pretty good job on the removal and i thought id write up a tech guide while i was at it so everyone could see what i did and or use this for hgelp doing their own removal someday. Time Taken: 3 hours Approximately Tools Needed: -Phillips head Screwdriver -10mm Socket and Ratchet -Pilers Related Links: US Spec AIV Removal (Twin Turbo) - http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/137858.html US Spec AIV Removal (Non-Turbo) - http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=107054 Step 1: Jacking the Car …

This is for the Chevy engine I'm running at the mo' , but it's on a carb. Need to change to injection before I fit the supercharger. I had to make this plenum as I don't think the factory ones would fit. This one follows the underside of the standard z bonnet exactly. Just a few shots of various ops on the milling machine first, to hopefully show what a pain it all was. Not doing another before anyone asks! Cutting faces parallel to get a nice datum and create a bit more room Boring entry holes for runners Fitting sideplates Chobbling away sideplates to save weight Fitting baseplate Finished job 2 weeks later, after countless…

Any ideas what this could be? Bearing in mind my autobox is fooked and until it is fixed in 3 weeks am driving in 2nd constantly!
