How much does it cost (roughly) to have a boost controller supplied+installed and then set up into an economy setting and a sportier setting?

ok i know i've asked about wheels a few times but these ones are special order and allot of dosh. I'm ordering 10's for the rear. but the front i have the choice of either 9's or 8's i've been advised both sizes so confused. The guy is calling me back shortly to confirm order. i'm going for 295/35/18 on the rear and 235/40/18 on the front, hope that's correct also. just to clarify they are wider rear arches. Thanks, thakns, thanks.

Is it getting certain parts coated in a heat resistant metral e.g. ceramic coated etc. It was suggested to do this but is it really worth it and make difference? Sounds pricey to me.

Does anyone know what the length and thread type is on the plenum cover bolts. Im getting stainless ones from work but forgot to check them before i left home. Cheers Eddie

it was a G-reg one it was about 9 or 10pm mabey had a pram handle on the back was it dannyzx by any chance???

hi all, i was looking at all the boost controllers on ebay and the turbo timers / boost guage, does the 300zx tt require special ones of these as there are 2 turbos to control?? not sure if there worth gettin or not, opinions would be welcomed. Thanks

Well finally got them fitted, but i've come to the conclusion the garage may need to take them off and refit them because..... the bottom twists which alters the height, this isn't where you are meant to alter the height but on the spring adjustment. So how do you know what height the bottom twisty bit is meant to be? And how are you meant to get them all the shocks exactly the same height? Oh and the stiffness on the rears this is adjustable by the top of the shock so am i correct in saying if i want to alter this all the boot interior has to come out to get access to the top of the shock?

WWwwwwoooooo HHHHooooooo!! Finally I can add pics of my car!! I dont remember reading any threads on this one being fixed....but I assume I just missed it.

As title. Driving along the industrial estate this morning just before ten. Ade.

Hi guys, looks like the time may have finaly come for me to sell my zed, ive toyed with the idea a few times in the past but couldnt bare to get rid, i love it to bits. But with a divorce looming and having to find a decent place to live on my own, running the zed is becoming a big strain on my wallet. Not sure what price to put it on the market for, i know you dont get the money back what you put into modding your motor but i have spent £6k on it(not much compared to some i know). spent it mainly on the looks. Its a '90 j-spec twin turbo manual. 85,000miles, and 11months mot. just had sensible engine mods such as chip, boost jets, apexi air filter, Ziggen d…

only happens in boost so presume it's turbo's. after it hit's the high revs, the sound gradually fades away after a few seconds.This is very hard to describe, but it sounds like a hoover ! slight vibration goes with it...

Saw red zed parked in layby at shops facing down hill, boot lid was open and someone getting stuff out boot. Didnt see reg as i turned off before i got to you

anyone off here... M3 travelling north (if thats north - towards london :confused: ) just before Winchester Services ? :D

H plate on the m3 south bound at junction 4. i gave you a wave, i was in the black bmw. was it you 300zx girl??

What's the matter with these german car drivers, just coming home had an M3 trying to get to the exit off a roundabout before me, then a big new audi try and burn me off the lights, dont they ever learn.... pi**ed um both, even with slick rears in the wet... :rofl:

Will this isnt one of them, but its good, pointless but good..... http://www.chilloutzone.de/files/player.swf?%20b=10&l=197&u=ILLUMllSOOAvIF//P_LxP92A42lCHCeeWCejXnHAS/c

looked like a smart example, anybody on here?

....Turn your Calendar page to July. :D

Looking to get my SWB Z resprayed, sticking with what it is now (dark grey), since it's looking a bit knocked about after 18 years..... how much was your :confused:

on the braintree road i think between gosfield and halstead. not to familiar with the area . nice to see a z out in the countryside on the twistys......

Have 300km dash in a 90 G plate jap import. The boost gauge and the oil pressure are dead as is the odo and the trip. Any ideas? The boost reads -7 when off and 0 when engine on but nothing else. Greddy boost gauge works fine and car goes like stink so turbos def working. Is this because the ECU has been relaced with an AEM or just cos the dash is stuffed?

has anyone got a hicas sensor that goes in the steering column for sale as my hicas is always steering and i'm going through tyres like out of fasion. cheers :headvswal

Whats the best way of changing my kph to mph without the clock cutting off at 110mph. At the moment its still kph And am I right in thinking that if its still in kph (obviously jap import) they are limited to 110kph which is approx 70 mph. would that mean that my zed would never have gone over 70mph??? :confused:

Red z parked in oreston, reg ending in ---- WOB Another secret plymouth z ! ? :p

:bow: Hi all is the spar that goes across the fronT of the engine bay (has the vin badge, radiator attached etc) part of the chassis? Im hoping not cos I think mines bent only bought the car yesterday The cover for the air intake has had a new hole drilled for it about a cm lower than the original on the right hand side. Once on it all looks very straight. I know its been in a bash otherwise it wouldnt be like that but is this chassis damage? Bit gutted so any advice greatly appreciated
