First one... Is there anyway to get the boost to build up faster with the apexi avcr boost controller? I don't get full 0.9 bar before around 4000rpm. Second one... I've got a rattle from the engine. Only done this from the engine.. Comes when I rev the car and suddenly goes of the throttle cable. :shock: than disapears again. :confused: Not enough rev and hard enogh to make the dump valve make any sound though. HELP

hi all, still failed mot, I have replaced outer hicas ball joints and the wheels still wobble about, tester recomends inner hicas ball joints next as these seem to be where most of the play is, can anyone give me a quick guide on how to fit them, the outer ones were easy how come i am worried about the inner ones, the new bits will be here in the morning and I am very eager to get her finished, I just hope and pray that bottom ball joints and shocker bushes are ok cos tester said he could see slight play in them too. Thank in anticipation of help Brian

This isn't a new one as the problem has been there since the boost controller was fitted. Basically the boost rises as it should and currently peaks at about 15psi but after hitting peak it drops a couple of PSI and holds at 13.5 - 14, this was highlighted at the last RR day (with UJCC). I've played with the controller (greddy profec B spec II) for a long time and no matter what I do with the settings I can't get it to level out so I'm wondering if there could be something else I need to look at. Any thoughts appreciated. I've searched all round the site and can't come up with anything and the settings that others have are quite different to mine?!?!?!?!?! …

I still have the yucki tweed but planing on getting a retrim. I like the idea of different (aftermarket) front seats but if i was to retrim the interior do i also retrim the aftermarket front seats?? or leave them as bought?? Also i want recliners and to be able to work with the stock electrics. What has everyone else done and the more the pics the better so i can decide what route to go down. why thanking you.

Members We are now taking orders for our 300ZX.co.uk 2008 Club Calendar. This year’s calendar was a big success and was very well received by everyone, therefore we will be using the same format and printer to supply the club. The calendar will be in A3 portrait format, with the club’s ‘Car of the Month’ winners featured each month. The club did subsidise the 2007 calendar, due to the problems the previous year. This was in the form of a one off goodwill gesture to all members, resulting in a reduced cost of £10 per calendar, including postage. Unfortunately we are not able to subsidise again, therefore the cost of the 2008 calendar will be £15 per cale…

This sounds like it's worth a try! Petrol Prices See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it…. We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1 a litre!!!! This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy petrol on a certain day campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read it and join in! Now that th…

ASSISTANCE REQUIRED PLEASE: Thinking about changing the colour to the Zed. I took the engine out of it today for a bit of an overhaul, cleanup and some shiny bits.....but..... I was thinking of changing the cars colour while the engines out.

Can't afford amazing airbrushed, rag rolled (Karl300zx's just popped into mind) but fancy doing something different. :rofl: Open to suggestions please

Was parked up halfway down downsell road. Was walking up to see the inlaws :rant:

I found this forum whilst browsing: http://www.nissanforums.com/z32-chassis-300zx/47003-90-300zxtt-boost-questions.html Here is a quote about why boost jets are bad news. They've always been a pet hate of mine as my first Zeds engine blew due to having jets that were setting the boost too high, combined with a dodgy boost gauge, resulting in several blown pistons. I've always known what they can spike, but never realised why. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by dragknt The last thing was for anyone that has a Profec B Spec-II...like what settings they use, and stuff.

How loud are your turbos? My zed engine is standard apart from Mongoose cat back ss exhaust , Apexi air filter , Apexi avcr boost controller and a Jwt stage 1 remap and my turbos seem to whistle very loud is this normal or might i have a leak? :confused: Matt

red zed in daventry today

Hello, Can anyone tell me what air con gas refill I should use theres the R134 for newer cars, R12 and R22 is it any of these?, where can I get the refill from and how much does the air con need from empty? Also I need to replace passenger side headlight for my UK 91 tt. Whats the best and quickest way to do this as I dont get much time with 3 kids!! Thanks for your time...... ;)

Only a few days ago i noticed that my drivers side wing was suddenly a lot cooler to the touch than before. After a hard run the nearside is nice and toasty (like always) but now the offside is not. It was pretty even before. I don't think performance has dropped at all or there is any boost leak. All the turbo pipes on both sides are pretty evenly hot using a temp probe on the metal sections. So I would assume the turbos are working evenly. Any ideas? Somethings changed so something is going on under the hood maybe? ta, dub ---

Hi everybody, Got a little problem you maybe able to help with. When I accelarate the boost goes to almost +7 so boost is good. Then as it picks up power drops, boost stays the same but I get a loud hissing. I know that I've got an after Turbo leak but having only had a quick look I can't see anything obvious. Is there a particular pipe or weakness where the pressurized air escapes. Or is it just a case of looking to find it!!!! Jase

There is going to be a fantastic Zed gathering on the 11th of this month. :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: It is in the South East but should be accesible for quite a few of the other regions. So no weak excuses! Click here to see how Bad-Ass it's going to be...
