http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_cRQhW7nj8 Opens her up just after 1min into the vid :D Nissan Vh45de (Aluminium 4.5i V8 32v Quad cam) - Twin turbocharged. 800-1000hp, stock internals :eek: and being a jetboat it has no gears so it spends most of its live being thrashed at high rpm in the way other engines could never withstand....without any issues :bow:

looking for info? when i start the car cold and put it inot D it sits for delayed seconds then pops into gear and until it is heat up then its like a car with the clutch slipping? checked the box oil and it does look thin - any ideas or when i change the oil what really should be used?

This came with my Greddy td05/16G. They are the intercooler pipe but look at this injector: What is it for? I've one on each side :confused:

should i sell and get a golf vr6?? or am i being stupid dont think i can justify spending £65 a week on fuel alone and the longer i own it the more chance i have of incurring a big bill. I was only doing 8 miles a day to work and back but now im up to around 60 and cant afford to drive the z as a daily drive. Would i hate a vr6?? Anyone ever owned one, or anyone think of a similar car i could go for?? cheers

my brakes soon. im a mechanic so know how to bleed stuff but im a truck mechanic so never had to bleed brakes yet as truck brakes are compressed air. i wanna no what sequence to do it in ie: o/s/f caliper an n/s/r caliper etc. im planning on changing all the fluid also where can i get a caliper rebuild kit as im doing that also. thanks in advance ;)

This Poor Zed ffs, Ive seen it a few times. so I took some pics on my phone this morning. It hasnt moved for months, hence the flat tyres. Instead the owner (who I havent seen) just leaves it parked outside his premises in Sheffield. Poor zed, The bodywork is in good condition, if you can look passed the shite thats all over it. :(

Hello, Does anyone know how guys with the 300zx (TT preferably) will be affected by this ? Are older cars affected ? What are the CO2 emissions ? Lloyd

As title... Who would fit an Apexi AVCR for me in the Midlands area...? asap. I'm waiting for zedworld to come back to me with a price. Anyone off here who's handy with the boost controller install and can do me a favour? Chris

Well my patience has been tested and i think it's gone with the purple nasty. I just don't think i want to chuck any more money at it :( i've spent nearly 2000 on it in the past couple of months and now it needs even more work doing. I think i'm going to break it cause it's worth naff all. I'll have a think about it first but to be honest it's been on my mind for a while now, the terrible fuel economy as a day to day car, the fact i never really get to drive it like i should do and the endless problems with the suspension especially the HICAS I should have never sold my NA, it was bombproof, and ever since i've had this car its in a much much wors…

My imported zed came with 2 headunits. 1) Alpine Cd player/tuner 2) Alpine mini-disc player The tuner originally wouldn't pick up uk stations but luckily i found a band expander the previous owner left in the car but hadn't connected it. So I can now get radio stations. The problem is...the cd player will not play cd's for some weird reason. Neither genuine or copied cd's. It inserts the cd and then after about 5-10 seconds it auto ejects it. I've tried around 30 cd's and all the same. Anyone know what's going on? I can get the exact models for the stereos if needs be. Chris

I'm struggling to get hold of John Dixon... The tel no I have is *******...is this correct? Been trying him the last couple of days but no answer. Does anyone know if he's on holiday or something at the moment? Wanting to get a boost controller setup and installed around the midlands area. Chris
