I took the 300zx for a day trip to Bath yesterday..... .......I hadn't really used it much in the last few weeks and I had forgotten just how much I love the car. It's a 100 mile trip each way and despite the 30 degree heat, the ZX was running perfectly; the turbos were boosting well with no performance issues - who says Zs are unreliable :dance: I burned a few pounds worth of V-power but it was worth every bit; plus an empty M4 encouraged me to press the fun pedal a bit too hard if you know what I mean....... Still that's why I have the car :tongue: Apart from a superb drive, Julia and I had a good day; walking along the river, lunch in the Pump Room and…

took my car to be dyno today came back with 385.8 bhp at the flyweel its running 0.95 bar boost got a hks intercooler the guys at this place were saying that the turbos seemed to take a long time to spool up giving them the impression that the turbos have either been modified or replaced with larger ones , they also said that standard turbos tend to lose guts approaching 15 psi but they said that mine seemed very strong going up to it . is it possible to produce that kind of bhp with standard tubbies ???? and what sort of bhp would you expect to get from standard turbos running 14 psi ????

As above really...... ......it was parked in the front of a property on the Hughenden Road. I passed by twice on Sunday 5th. The car has a nice set of aftermarket wheels - 6 spokes IIRC........ Richard :)

Red L reg Jap spec with high spoiler on the A331 Aldershot at about 12:15 pm today Reg L129 i think. Anybody on here?

Just changing the oil (should do as i've had the car almost 3 years!) Put in some Molyslip and 2 litres of 80-90..... How many more litres do i need i have heard it's 2.1 although someone told me it was 4,5 which i think is the engine oil not gearbox??? Cheers Alex

right the garage where my 91tt is getting a new cam belt just phoned me asking if i knew where to get a tensioner from can anyone point me in a direction cheers

I have a red 1990 zed and the sun has sucked all life out of the bonnet. The rest of the panels are ok (does the heat from engine make bonnet fade worse??) and are smaller anyway so less noticable. would love to get a full respray but can really afford it. I have got a can (standard size how ever big that is in ml) of paint in my my colour code made up as well as cans of primer and laquer and was thinking of doing it myself if the weather stays fine. my question is how many cans of paint will i need to cover a bonnet and should i treat painting the bonnet differently from other panels because of the engine heat (extra coats, high temp / flexible laquer, etc)?

Can anyone tell me how to remove the black trim strips that run along the side of the targa roofs and the edge of the windscreen without damaging them cos i want to recoat them as the black plastic coating is all peeling off.Any ideas would be appreciated.

hi All. New kid ont he block here who is looking to be buyin a 300ZX soon after christmas. :dance: I am after a little advice on how much am I better off saving before I go out a buy one????? I am not sure whether I am better off buying standard and working from scratch to mod....or am I better off saving longer and buyin one already modded???? I was always a Rover turbo knut until recently my MOT ran out, i decided to get rid and save for something else I have always wanted, a 300ZX. As I now work in B'ham centre I don't use petrol and parking as I have just bought a Goped (Cheaper and quicker than buses) for commuting....leaving the beast for the w…

And she Flew through with colours! :bow: :duffer: :dance:

As Above,

My Z passed its MOT at last, YAY!!!! the bad news is its stuck at the test centre with a flat battery!! had it started for ages too, and the Batt light is coming on and going out as it should, anyone know any common charging faults, I have had the engine out so could this be a bad connection? would the light still behave if thats what it was. Thanks

Last Friday / Saturday (too much to drink, can't remember), spotted a Dark blue Z in Ramsgate near the Casino. Noticed it had different break light clusters, bodykit? (Everything was a blur :duffer: ). So, where's the owner! Is he/she even a member on here? Used to see loads of Zs flying about these areas! What's happened to them?

Hi Guys, just fitting decat pipes to my 90TT. What do you do with the Exhaust recirc rubber pipes from the old front pipes? Do you just tie them up or do you have to block them or do you join one side to the other? Will I need to do anything anywhere else on the engine IE with EGR valves etc. Regards Jase

I've gone for a Doolz induction set up (single AFM). I have a chip for it (thanks AndyP - not got the car back yet, but once I do I'll contact you for payment etc.). However after speaking to Eric about tick over he suggested I balance the air to the TB with a balance bar. i.e. something like this: I've managed to get a nice long piece of stainless steel tubing, but I will need to have my current Stainless Steel hardpipes fabricated with a nipple so I can attach the balance bar to it with some small silicone hoses. Any ideas where the best place to get this done would be ?

Saw you a few cars ahead of me in Guildford last night!!

Hey all, Whats the going price for 1996 tt manual at the moment? Cheers
