Ello guys, Just wondering if anyone knew of a coil on plug rev limiter. You seem to get shed loads for the old dizzy ones and single / dual coil but not for more that two coils. It's driving me nuts! Or if anyone else has an idea of how to cut the revs and fit a limiter on it would be cool. Cheers,

Managed a few pics inbetween showers, Everything's working and it goes ok, couple more rattles to source and fix, and need to mod the exhaust slightly as there's an annoying boom at around 1400rpm, although the exhaust is fairly quiet really. Have been replacing some of the stupid rock hard ES poly bushes at the rear, with OE type, to quieten down the diff. Sounded like a 1950's bread van 1st time out. Am contemplating my next step. Part of me wants to add fuel injection and then stick on the supercharger. Another part wants to sell it and start afresh. So, anyone any idea what it might be worth?

There I was sat at the lights waiting for them to change. A guy in his newish porsche comes round the corner and he was rubber necking so much at the Z he nearly tailended the car in front. God I love my Z. Darrell

Right guys as you know I have sold Audrey and couldn't keep hold of her any longer, I tried but Russ wanted her as soon as. So this means I can't make the dyno day I had planned to go to, sorry for letting you lot down but my place is now open to another car. I put it up here so it would get more attention and my slot might get filled easier. Sorry again but I will see you all at Billing. Scrawn.

Driving my car home on a 20 mile journey, not really taking things easy. When I got home I noticed the temp gauge was on max. Looked under car and the radiator was leaking water badly, dumped a lot of water on my drive. Thought the problem was that the rad had corroded causing the leak and the overheating problem. Bought a second hand rad fitted and thought I was good to go. Problem now is it looses about a litre of water when driving 1-2 miles. No leaks from under car. Oil looks fine (no mayo). No excessive water steam from exhaust, only from a cold start. Looking at the water with the rad cap removed it looks like there are loads of little air bubbles and some sedi…

Hope you have a good day mate? :duffer: :duffer:

Note: I have done several searches and found little conclusive in regards to my issue. I have a 1990 Jspec 300zx which I just finnished importing from the UK to Canada. It's been an amazing car except in thunder storms and when it's insanely humid out. I understand that it gets way more humid Canada than the UK. I was getting a code 12 @ one point (MAF) but that went away when I sprayed the MAF connector w/ dampening and water sealant sprays. I am now getting no codes but it still missfires/bogs down whenever the humidity is above 75% while it's above 25 C outside. Here's all of the issues: 1) It will not hold idle w/o me holding my foot on the excelerator whe…

mine has become light again when driving slow since this wet weather and its how i want to keep it. anybody know which connector generally gets affected by water on the steering system . my power steering is intermittant. well sort of working but heavier then it should be while driving slow. but the last few days its a pleasure to drive and park.

the check light stop working some time ago ,i've checked the bulb and is ok what esle can it be ?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but i will stick in the place that get most read....... was at my local scrappie today to see if they had any zeds in (they didnt) and saw a zed convertible in the car park. I asked the fella at the desk if he knew anything about it and he said it was a recovered stolen and they were just waiting to get the replacement key through for it and check if it was running then it was going to auction. from looking at it myself it is left hand drive, import of some kind, late model with drivers air bag, convertible, white, auto (i think). It was in a pretty bad way to say the least, deffinite respray and repair the sof…

iff you have,nt allready then take a few mins to read through the mods that car has had, especially the engine managment specs :bow: that thing is a 2nd mortgage on wheels. well done Ian :cool:
