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:

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

I've just joined after having some serious cosmetic work done on my Zena (a re-spray!)...Oh, I expect it's a bit naff to give your car a name but I've had my zx so many years that I can't help it! She is white, 1986 registered and I have another exactly the same which has been sitting in my garage for 4yrs.......through no fault of the car! I put it away in perfect running order but it's a long story! Zena has, however, been used regularly and has never let me down. I would like to go to some club meets etc. but as I'm a bit new to this club thing I don't want to just turn up and not know anyone. Are you a friendly bunch or am I too unknowledgeable for you…

does anyone know the make of these alloys, ive just bought them for the zed, i liked them too much to resist :D . 9.5j front . 10.5j rear.

Hi all, Was wondering if there are any differanations from later models of a 89 tt manuals gearbox, mounts etc? Cheers Ste

Was giving my lady friend a lift back home last night and she wasn't impressed to find that she had water all over her shoes. On the passenger side of the Z, there seems to be a pipe going to no where! Leaks water strait onto the carpet! Not in drops, but quite a bit of water. The origional Z carpet is soaked. Seems like the pipe is very close to where the ecu is kept but It's just above (not good I think). Anyone know why there's water leaking into the interior or what for??? :headvswal Blocked the pipe for now, but can't see where it goes or what it's for.

J300 TUC Spotted on Friday at 4pm on the Portmarsh industrial estate. Was it you!

I've seen a couple of questions here about the Nissan OEM remote locking as fitted to the Series 3 and later (Sept 93 onward as you can see here http://www.300zx.org.uk/model_variations.htm ). 1) Is there an alarm as well as central locking? 2) Does this OEM locking count as Cat 1 or 2 or anything Thatcham? I've used the searchy thing but have only come up with a couple of guys asking the same type of questions! http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=76673&highlight=remote+locking http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=49370&highlight=remote+locking TIA - Gio

Not yet got round to changing the oil on my zed yet and it has been stood for god knows how long the engine is a little noisy, once the oil is changed do you reckon it will sought out the tapping noise. Im also going for a de-cat do you reckon this could put more pressure on the turbo's.
