Today, Tuesday 24th July, your car was in there having the alarm system looked at, not one I have seen in Ipswich before and wondered if you ever come on here. Car looked pretty standard and in good condition.

It's appeared again..... He still can't spell Ferrari yet. He's had 5 times to get that correct, not to mention the mysterious 480bhp from a seemingly standard engine.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-NISSAN-300-ZX-TWIN-TURBO-FARRARI-STYLING_W0QQitemZ330149394254QQihZ014QQcategoryZ18238QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Some more bell ends with imaginary performance figures. Are there that many muppets that either believe this, or their mates...or whoever talks bollocks? Another 500bhp Z from a Boost controller and pointless dump valve http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-NISSAN-300-ZX-Twin-Turbo_W0QQitemZ160139225115QQihZ006QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZV…

just driven home from work. Nothing unusual about journey, takes me about 20 mins. Got back and reversed to do 3 point turn. the turning area has a dip in it but has never caused me problems before despite low car. today it must of brushed the ground (took it a bit fast, low tyre pressure??) but thought it was ok because my dirt guard is loose so was probably that. parked up and noticed i have smoke coming up the the back/drivers corner of the bonnet. turned off and opened bonnet and smoke or steam coming up from the corner below where the ABS unit is. sounded like drops hitting something hot and vapourising. Smelt and bit funny and quite thick (thicker than ste…

Ok here's the story..... I fitted a Smithy fuel line kit recently (sure its got nothin to do with it but just in case), the next day after fitting it the car started to sound like a rumbling V8 and it didn't have the same poke as usual. So, after searchin on here I realised it was a cylinder not firing. Had a root around today and sure enough the middle passenger side one isn't working. So far I've done the following but to no avail :confused: Fitted new spark plug (no change) Swapped coil pack with front cylinder (front still worked, middle didn't) Unpluged front connector and plugged into middle (still no good) So I've no idea whats wrong..........maybe…

Hi, wonder if anyone can help me? Been having a strange problem lately ever since upgrading my 1.0mm boost jets to 0.8 ones... My Z is running hybrid Turbo's based on HKS 2530's so gives more airflow at 9psi than stock turbo's would and also running and Andy P stage 2 chip on stock injectors with a Blitz SUS airfilter... The problem i'm getting is a bit intermittent.. When I bury my foot in the carpet, the boost rises on my aftermarket guage to 1Bar and sometime the whole car will just cut out a bit like a fuel cut type scenario.. I've also tried nailing it also from 4000Rpm thinking it might of been a det sensor problem but it will still sometimes cut out... I'm no…

The engine shop said the instructions are missing, i assume they are after the torque settings. Does anyone know what they should be or better still could email me a copy of the needed information they are after. I'm in a lil hurry for this one, sorry.

Sold my zed a few months ago now in order to buy either a cossie, evo or a skyline in that order, but now for £ to £ value i wish id never sold the zed! The escort cosworth is nowhere near the build quality the evo is just not for me and the skyline is well over priced for the quality im looking for even to come close to my old zed! So im now lost, :confused: and might end up with another zed :bow:

Hi all and i hope you can help me, this is doing my head in, finally plumbed the engine and found out where all the hoses go but one, right here goes, there are vac pipes connect to the waste gates and boost solenoids above, this then comes round the front of each side of the engine, according to the manual these should then connect to the "boost gallery" and the "boost sensor" which should be somewhere under the air filter panel , mine are just connected in front of engine by vac hose, it has a hose tee'ed off this which looks like it has a boost jet crimped into the end, have no idea where this goes, and dosent it need the boost galley and sensor (which i cant find for …
