When dealing with a Jap spec Fairlady. Are the Jap ECU's re mappable here or what alternative ecu should it be changed for to remap the car here? Also, anyone ever heard of a company calle "Bymark" ?? Thanks :D

Hi Guys, I was wondering whether anyone on the forum are familiar or running the; Nismo RR581 or Nismo R58 turbo's?

Hello All, Just trying to get abit of a gauge on what i should expect to pay to have a little work done on my zed. Oil cooler install (upgrade for auto Box) Boost controller install and set up. tansmission drain and refill. Its mainly the boost controller cost that i'm interested in, can probably do the other stuff myself, but whilst its in there it would save me a job. Was thinking maybe swz as its the closest z specialist to me, i think. cheers in advance.

Hi Guys. Following from my newbie thread. I was wondering what are the pro's and cons of having a Jap import TT 300ZX Targa which has been converted from Auto to Manual. Is it something which should be avoided, or in some instances a better thing (more extra's, better ratio'd diff etc etc). Cheers :D

Hi guys, Just wanted to say I am now on the look out for a Fairlady 300zx. If it's OK, I'll be posting a fw questions to help me purchasing the right car. From 1990 - 1992 models. Are there many variations? Look forward to meeting fellow owners soon. :D

-80odd, sensor unhooKed, re attatched, no difference, bought a new one, no difference, did a Knight rider K.I.T self diagnostic, coming up with error (cant remember the number), equates to amb sensor circuit. Anyone brainy enough to tell me how to sort this out, easy job or as hard as it sounds? ta very much legger. :D

Right how many people would like a good after market Manifold for the NA. ie Alunox as in Smithy's group buy, Stillen as in the man who really did get TT+ power and performance out of a NA, Z1 a copy of Stillen or Flea Bay. How much would you think was a good price

I used to have a twin exit exhaust and used to get the dreded smoke on idle after 10 mins, i have since got a single exit (like the sound) and the smoke has disappered. This maybe a silly question but i would like to go for the 2 fast 2 cool de cat setup as one of my cats is rattling around. Am i right in thinking that the smoke would come back to to the lack of back pressure with no cats. Thanks for helping

2 short head bolts, where do these go? :headvswal

can someone explain to me the difference/similarity between the following: Decats Precats Downpipes Wastegate pipes Inconel Manifolds reason being is that i want aftermarket turbo elbows (divorced ones that keep the exhaust gases spinning) but when i look on ebay US these elbows seem to come with the straight decat pipes. i already have PHNW decat pipes (that replace the cat pipes that go onto the exhaust middle section and back boxes). just want to make sure i know what im talking about.
