I am running a standard z32 TT and want to increase the boost slightly I have been told that i need an electronic controller, is this true? Secondly, what controllers are recomended out of both electronic and manual... cheers guys

I saw a nice shiney Maroon 300zx parked up in Osmanthorpe lane Leeds on Sunday near the shops. Was it you?

27/8/07 Metallic Grey with 99 spec front bumper, rest of car looked stock apart from after market wheels, car was parked In Brandon road on the courner of Waldeck Road, and looked a clean example, also had Nismo sticker on rear quater light, I bet your not a member though lol. Maybe you have just got the car as there is usually a Supra parked there, and ive never seen it there before.

Bought my N/A from a chap for £800. 59K miles, immaculate inside and out, gunmetal gray with original wheels (unscuffed). Needs a new gearbox but this is being fitted in 3 weeks. Hoe much is it worth once repaired?

I was on my first proper outing in the Z this weekend. London to Aberystwyth and back in two days. Best not to think about the fuel... Anyway, i had a feeling i would see another at some point - most likely on the motorway, but no. This one was parked up in a tiny village called Ponterwyd. Black with blue headrests. Was it you?

Happy Birthday Bud, have a great day. :duffer:

Just wondered if anyone is going to trax next weekend? I'm not interested in all the wideboy chav stuff, but its a great way to drive the full grand prix circuit reasonably cheaply. I've got track time with FDUK but last year managed to get loads more real cheap from other clubs who had people drop out.

Just to clarify prior to booking in my car for a new gearbox! This is my problem. The car drives fine, kickdown works etc. The gear changes from 1-2 in “D” but when it gets to 3rd the revs go higher bu the speed does not increase. Any thoughts prior to me shelling out? Also, did the diags and no codes.

Went out driving with my brother last night only to park up after doing lots of hard left and hard right steering to get into a parking space to find my Z has dumped a fair bit of fluid on the floor! :( The power steering although still working for a mo is making a horible grindy noise and of course my Hicas Light is on telling me I have no fluid! Whats the best cause of action then guys, done a serach on here and most people suggest it probably a hydraulic pipe thats has split or come loose! I still the Zed as a daily drive so do I cut the power steering belt for the time being to stop the stress or is there something else I could do! Don't know what the worse…

The mrs followed you all the way up the m11 from stansted and up the a14 to the a45 where she turned off... she was in a blue subaru and waved a few times and you waved back... any1 here?

If anyone isnt doing anything this weekend and would like to get together at Grafham water again. It will be at midday onwards at car park 1 on the map: Please add your names to the list below. This isnt a 300zx clib meet so anyone can come in any car. LIST: viniboy

hi im havin probs again my revs keep shooting up to around 1500rpm and sometimes when i go down the gears it sticks at 2k can anyone help it sounds terrible when im doin 2mph over a speed bump with the car revin high :headvswal

Since I converted to manual some years ago, my zed will stall if I leave the heater blower switched off. Is there some ECU mod which might prevent this? The ECU diag shows 55. Cheers Dave

Oh dear. I'm looking at a well kept, fsh uk car, with light bubbling on arches+ some big bubbles in the back of sill, where it meets wheel area. Its far too good to break, or let rot completely, but i cant spend a fortune on it! What i need is a guide price for a bodyshop, to do the cutting/welding + some nice shiny red paint on top? Any idea whats a fair price, to make it nice again? Any bodyworkers here want to take it on?

Not knowing anything about these,do you reckon it's a mis-print on the price or not? Seems an awfull lot of motor for the money! :wack: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1997-R-AC-ACE-5-0-V8-Superblower-Just-1755-miles_W0QQitemZ290154342497QQihZ019QQcategoryZ2192QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Do you guys just chuck some blankets or summit over zed if you leave it in your garage. Having a black Zed, you can polish it at 5 at night, put it away, then in the morning get it out and theres a layer of dust over it :( Thinking of trying to get a cover but as its a wide arch swb think Im gonna struggle.... may have to just get some old duvet covers...

N reg - looking nice. Any1 here? About 7:30 today

Hi gang.. I have found a nice set of wheels for sale.. But they are: BLITZ Front - 18" diameter, 9" wide with a PCD of 114.3, offset 41. Rear - 19" diameter, 10" wide with a PCD of 114.3, offset 45. Tyres - Pirelli P Zero Rosso, 235x40x18 front. Pirelli P Zero Rosso, 275x30x19 rear. Are there likely to be any fitment issues with these??.. I've never fitted different sized wheels, front to back before. They are to be fitted to my wide arch zed.. Currently not lowered. Thanks!!

went to halfrauds yesterday to "mooch" at the stereo`s and came out with a touch up stick for me zed (colour spot on by the way) as i had caught a stone on the bumper the previous day.i decided to do it in the car park as it was nice and sunny and would dry off quicksnap.went to the boot and got my valeting bag out to clean up the area before applying said new paint didn`t bother unlocking the car just undid the boot lucky coz she`s having a new sigma security system fitted in the week any way carried on doing the job finished put all the stuff back in the car and closed the hatch. guess where my fooking keys were? yep in the boot. so into halfrauds i went and borro…
