i think i have a slight leak from the manifold probably one of the gaskets but its very slight is this a major problem performance dosnt seemed to be affected and how much is this going to cost for me to get fixed ???

I have oil in the pipe going from the turbo to the intercooler. ??? Is this bad news??

Anyone selling a boost leak detector? or alternatively anyone got one I could borrow, loan or rent :) Thanks Barry

Went to the Rolling Road today but on the way noticed I was loosing water! Closer examination revealed small crack in plastic top of radiator drivers side. Any chance of repairing this or does it mean a new radiator? Cheers - Dave

Red NA in layby with For Sale on it? G plate. Anyone?

hi there does anyone know what the sticker with a number on the top of the front window means i had one and my friends rx7 has one i think its to do with when they are at auction cheers :p

Ok, went on the rolling road today and got 262fwhp BOOO!!!!!!, the equipment also showed im boosting at aconstant 0.5 bar. The car was on a consult just a few weeks ago and no probs at all. Fitted BOV's last week or so but there's been no noticable loss of power. I posted my 0-60 times a while back and everyone thought they were low which leads me to believe its been like it since i bought it. Theres so much on this (o2 sensors, boost leek, cold start valve etc etc) so im really stuck. Any ideas??? Car runs purfectly and the fueling matches the low boost levels. Thanks

Has anyone used this tool to remove a zed front windscreen successfully ?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190136573462&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009

hi peeps my delimiter arrived this morning and the desructions are a bit vague to say the least anyone fitted on of these as it involves cutting some speedo wires and i'm a bit apprehensive any advise welcome big thanx in advance matty

does any1 know if the zed has the same fitment and offset as the r33 gtr as a mate of mine is selling his wheels im hoping they will fit :confused:

At last, after 8 months of the road my precious 300ZX SWB TT on the road fully legal. Got new HKS exhaust from dta motorsport, shipped from Japan. Got new Apexi induction kit, spangly clear front indicators, front HID kit and the car is much more trim. New ICE soldering wiring loom to replace diastertron halfords connector blocks lol. Was lavely taking it for a leisurely spin with the exhaust going WHALLLBBUBUBUB :nana2:

Has Anyone that has 555 fitted to their 300zx have any Running problems after install (Not leaks). Ie: Rich running and uneven idle. (with no ecu errors)

would over filling the engine oil cause the car to mis-fire? i changed the PTU, thinking that was the problem, but still the same. car is very smoky, would it just be cos the spark plugs are covered in oil? or does it sound like something bad?

Happy Birthday Buddy. :duffer: :duffer:

So not that many bothering to go then? :nono:

Saw it for the past few days parked outside one of the garage's on the Feeder. Looks like a custom paint job, sky blue colour. MR2 style tailgate and lambo lights? Didn't realize it was a Zed until today as cars were infront before blocking my rear mirror view!

Lambo rear lights and wide body kit. Huge orange flec in the paint number plate began with B. Saw you down near Hyde Park corner this mornign about 00:30. You seemed to be enjoying all the attention. Darrell

11:30 last night 3/8/07 going along past the old Vauxhall buildings. Darrell

i seen a black zed, private plate... A14 XXX... looked nice i was in a beema... man it looked like my car! (before the kit and wheels!) i was suprised to c it! any1 on here??

Electrical experts......do you know if its possible to change the colour of a LCD display that uses electroluminescent backlighting ? Standard colour is Green, and I would want to change to blue, which I presume as its a primary colour that filters (if they exist) would be out of the question. Invertor..voltage ? :confused:

Any pitfalls in fitting them other than the black guey stuff. Darrell

Took my new Z to work for the first time today since it was such a nice day and a Friday. To my delight on the way home, I had a nicely warmed up Zed, an empty slip road/dual carriageway was able to try out the acceleration for the first time - OMG it was like launching a rocket!! :hyper: According to me AVC-R I peaked at 1.44 bar - foooking marvellous!!! Now I'm not into bombing along the road at ridiculous top-end speeds, but the shove in the back and the need to hang on to the steering wheel whilst in mid-boost - that's what Zedding's all about :nana2: It was nice to see the petrol gauge accelerating downwards almost as fast as those 555's did t…

Pls bear with me on this one. "Old Git" here south wales. Maybe something for the purists amongst you??. As you can see I am the old fart of the club, my problem is I have a young man living next door to me who has an Audi S3. He claims it is puhing 277-280 BHP at the wheel, Unfortunately after a couple of beers he has challenged me to a run!!! I know that on public roads I could do him cos he doen1t look further than his bonnet. "Still with me???" But I won`t do it cos of obvious reasons. His car is very quick I`ve driven it. What I want to know is what can I do to a unmodified TT Auto for under a grand (which I was prepared to spend anyway) to give me a chance??? Pls he…

My car's been in with ZTech now for six weeks. I haven't heard a bean from Ryan for ages. Ryan's normally ok at getting back to people and I know ZTech were on holiday last week, but I've left him messages every day this week and not one call back. I decided to visit them today to see if I could get some kind of update on my car and at 15:30 the place was deserted and all locked up! :confused: Does anyone know what's going on with those guys and how I can find out where my car is? I'm starting to miss her... :cry:
