Can any1 help with this one, idle is real good in any movement gear (about 1000RPM) and foot on brake obviously, but if i put into P or N it hits 2000RPM and idles there! Is this normal?? Also sometimes when i start it in P its ok and occasionally when putting into N or P it idles correctly at about 1000RPM. Thanks in advance guys lol

5.50pm at the traffic lights at little Oxhey lane..........heading towards Watford.......... I was in the subaru Legacy Twin Turbo smiling at you!!!!!!

I've got little faults that i would like to get sorted and I'm not sure if the two are connected. Firstly, when I put my foot on the throttle ever so slightly (and I mean slightly) it hesitates really badly. It's hard to describe, it's almost like it's running on 3 and when you put your foot down a bit more the other 3 kick in, it's most noticable when cold as I use as little throttle as possible until it warms up fully. Secondly, I have a fluctuating tickover. Sometimes it's great and just sits there at 750rpm and then other times it pulses anywhere up to 1500rpm, generally it kinda goes between 850 - 1100 but in rythmical pulses like it revs every second. When it …

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Fastrack-Motors_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQpZ2QQtZkm Anyone used these guys before? Thought it might be useful for some people who've blown engines. Personally I think it is better to spend money on a low milage engine than to rebuild a blown one re-using the parts. I remember a couple of tuners I spoke to when my first Zed blew and they refused to rebuild the engine saying it was safer to source a low milage one. I ignored them and rebuilt it myself but they were proved right when it blew again 3mths later! There's another company that are longer established that do them as well but I can't remember their name off hand?

those tt calipers you got for sales, is it just the front 2 or all 4

Alrite fellas, I am just about to import a 300zx from Japan and was just wondering if any of you guys have any advice as to what year/spec ect I sould be looking at. I was gona go for a 1994/5 ish Black manual...the 2+2 version. Is this a good choice? Also, do the seats in the back fold down for putting stuff like golf clubs in the car?? Thanks, George

Been having a weird little problem today, recently i've replaced my 1.0mm boost jets with 0.8mm ones... Have waited till today to give it boot ful as my Z was pulling strong enough without full boost anyway... Was crusing along in 4th Gear and then floored it, the boost built strongly to 18Psi at 4000rpm and then then my Z basicly just cut the boost as if there was some kind of rev limiter there. Carried on driving as normal and everything is ok, still getting plenty of boost at part throttle but nail it in 4th and it just cuts out... It feels like a boost pipe has blown off when it cuts out but all the pipes are fine and secure... You get plenty of boost up until …

im getting a weird air rushing throu water (gurgling) type noise heard most in 2nd and 4th gear, it is loudest in 4th gear... 1st 3rd and 5th seem fine any ideas what this cud be , the car is running fine just havent got a clue what this cud be. :headvswal

Can someone advise me where the best place in the south west is to go to get my 300 re-trimmed in leather (want the seats, front and rear, and the door trims and console area done). Any ideas on roughly how much i am looking for this to be done? thanks Gaz (New member) :confused:

I used to have a bad vibration/rattle at low revs when pulling away. And also a bit of vibration at higher speeds. I have personally fitted: - 4 new wheels, all balanced, - Nismo gearbox mount - new Centre Bearing. (The prop was replaced exactly as found.) The top end vibration has gone, but the 'pulling away' noisy bloody rattle remains. It cant be the prop as i'm vibration free all the way up the speed range, just this massive rattle on low revs torque. (i.e. you are moving at speeds where you really should be in 1st but stay in 2nd). Another thing that leads me to the flywheel being warped is that even after a new (well 2nd hand good one, I…

hey just been looking at you Zed on the rides section. The pic of your headlamps, you have a ring around the lights like a bimmer. Did you do that? piccie

...ends up costing a tenner! :rofl: I've had a nasty rattle coming from the centre box of my beloved Veilside exhaust system. Pretty loud and was starting to do my head in! I had thought it was a baffle in the centre box that had somehow broken away from its welds. It was terrible when cold and as the car warmed up would get less. Now, this had been going on for some months now. Had the car up on the ramp, managed to narrow it down to the centre box after giving it a thwack with the palm of my hand. Anyway, had it all booked into Infinity Exhausts to have the centre boxes replaced, like-for-like (sound wise). Up on the ramp, guy asks me, "are you…

I could do with a new bumper as I have cracked mine :rant: , it has been repaired before so not sure if it will stand up to another repair :mac1: .

Girly alert - I know nothing about mechanics, but I have a strange problem with my 1991 Fairlady Twin Turbo - can any of you experts help please? Car was driving normally this morning. Suddenly, power steering, power to brakes and acceleration failed. POWER warning light came on. Pulled over to side of road and switched off engine. Wouldn't start again although starter motor is turning over normally. I do have an alarm and immobiliser but disabled the alarm with the valet switch. The immobiliser is working normally (I don't even get ignition if that is activating when it shouldn't be.) Called AA. (Engine was cold at this point.) He tested battery, said it …

Hello all! My drivers side door is becoming a bit of a bugger to close lately, it's dropped slightly meaning it has to have a good slam to fully close it!! Does anyone know where I could get a door pin from to sort this problem out?? Many thanks!! ;)

There is a horrible sounding high pitch squealing noise coming from my front drivers side wheel I think. It is only when the car is moving and doesn’t really change under breaking or accelerating. I only really here it when I have the window down but it is deffinetly there and gets louder when I pass something on that side as the sound bounces back. What could it be and how do i fix it?????

Hi Peeps, Thinking of decatting. #1 The motor & tubs on my car are sound, will decats screw any of these up? #2 How does removing the o2 sensors affect the running of the car. #3 whats they best way of removing the o2 sensors - I'm doing a manwell conversion so I'll be under the car anyway. Cheers Marc
