Joel, please explain for all and sundry why you are looking for another Z? Unless there are on going legal complications...

Hey guys, just a question for you's.............I recently bought a modifed Z32 and ive noticed that sometimes, only sometimes the red Hicas light illuminates at the left hand side of the steering wheel........any comments on this? :confused:

Red Zed in Strood driving in the direction of the Medway City Estate at about 11.30, me in silver Vito :cry:

thinking of a midnight purple respray how much do you think it will cost ??

does anyone know where i can buy teo new turbo's then on exchange, would need the new ones send then send the smokin ones back once removed thanks

As above really. I have a Greddy dual intake kit, all brand new and never fitted. It consists of 2 Greddy mushroom filters and the greddy pipework (cast) which the filters connect onto and connects onto the Maf/Afm unit. Not needed anymore. It's got to be worth a few bob considering how much the filters cost each and then you got the big cast bit which joins it all together. So what is it worth?

As title says I have a apexi intake just wondered how do I clean it + dry it ? Cheers Pete

does anyone know if the early type(black front with green writing) blitz dsbc will read in psi and not just kg/cm.?

What's the best to clean your injectors and fuel system? Is it still the old Redex or am i stuck in the 80's :D

Well the wife took the Z out for her maiden voyage today,got reports back of steering wheel not straight,and a clunk when pulling up,O.K I thinks, I'll investigate the clunk,Fook me! did it clunk!!-closer inspection revealed all 4 tension rod to lower arm nuts were loose! :shock: Now it's had new bushes fitted to the tension rods and Steve,if your reading this, why couldn't you hear/feel it! :confused: Could have been nasty! :nono:

Was thinking of getting these for my front wheels, but a mechanic mate said they don't look safe? Any opinions please? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230125453911&rd=1&rd=1

Does anyone know what date the record attempt for the most cars achieving donuts, i know its june but i would like to be part of it and need to sought my life out around this, silverstone my dads birthday my birthday and maybe the candy run through to paris lol and thats just for starters

We have done this Before But I thought we could do a New Updated Poll so new member's can show as well how much they have put into their 300zx! (Not how much you bought it for :D ) I wonder where Ian place will be in this Poll Lol :rofl:

As above really,cant seem to find edit link. :cry:

Fitted wat supposed to be an SE Fast Road chip to my zed today, and the car ran like crap, the fan was goin mad and i could here the poor injectors clicking like crazy. went for a little drive and as soon as i tried to boost the car spluttered and back fired like mad. stopped car-swapped chip to old trusty superchiip and binned SE chip lol Problem was i got the chip given with an exhaust i bought so the guy wasnt sure which set up it was for. any ideas how i could find wat this chip is for and if its any good

As above, are they a legal requirement?

Took z to my mechanic yesterday and he found that my intercooler had split, managed to fix it so not blowing now, but was talking to another guy lastnite about it and he said that if intercooler blowing or split will blow the turbo..?just wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter thanks guys

Hi, sorry i no this should probs be in the for sale section but it wont let me post for some reason. I have a Turbo 2000 subaru and am selling it. I'm interested in getting a 300zx and wanted to see if anyone is interested in a part ex? Must be for a UK spec manual. Dont do auto and cant get insured on any type of import. See details at- http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/160570.htm Thanks Scott

My tt engine is stock at the mo but am looking for a bit of a power increase very soon. I'll change the injectors to 555cc + the fuel rail - no other option (92 model). I'll change the ecu, Air filter, intercooler, exhaust and have a boost increase.. but what changes need to be done for the reliability of the engine and how much bhp should I expect to have? Basically, don't want the internals of the engine to be changed, but how much abuse can the whole thing take? .... apart from me swearing at it when bolts and other irrelevant items fall through the gaps in the bay.. always seems to lead to another dimension or ends up in a different time …

Morning all! My Z has currently been using 1.0mm boost jets on modded upgraded turbos and i've been looking for a boost increase up to about 16/17 psi... My current 1.0mm boost jets are shoved so far down the pipe that I can't get them out... If I shove in some 0.8mm ones as well as having the 1.0mm jets, is this likely to cause any probs or is it the same as having just 0.8mm ones in there due to the hole size being smaller??? Bit of a silly question but don't wan't it boosting to 21psi with both sets of jets in there!!!
