I saw you there when I drove past at 9:30am and again at about 2:10pm, I assume you/the car were there all day, was it you? :)

Going to get my engine overhauled in the next few weeks. Planning on having all belts pumps etc changed, plus whatever needs doing to get it safely running a little extra power. At present it is a standard TT jap import. Somedays it runs sweet with perfect boost, other days it runs in safety boost??? Ecu will show 34 on some days and then 55 on other days without resetting it?? Basically can someone advise me of the best people around to intrust with a Z? not really looking for 400+bhp just a nice safe increase and a reliable engine. Cheers

guys & gals have been looking at these for a while now are they any good or cheap & nasty :wack: gotta get the zed looking awsome for silverstone :tongue: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Z32-300ZX-Intercooler-turbo-hose-silicone-silicon-Z33_W0QQitemZ290088822360QQihZ019QQcategoryZ43120QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-Z32-300ZX-Fairlady-Silicone-Radiator-hose-kit_W0QQitemZ290086709658QQihZ019QQcategoryZ72205QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/90-96-300ZX-Z32-Fairlady-Turbo-Intercooler-Piping-Kit_W0QQitemZ230097342493QQihZ013QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem i really want a hard pipe kit for the zed cou…

Hi guys, I'm in the process of searching for either a apexi avcr or profec B spec II for my car. The zed already has the following mods... trust ik, blitz access computer (ecu), kakimoto cat back twin system, remote oil filter kit, ngk platinum plugs. What i'm not sure about is what to do with the ecu. Obviously with more boost it will need ajustments in the mapping. A guy on a thread (sorry not sure what his name was) was saying that my blitz access computer should be setup to allow more boost as they are generally quite aggressive anyway. So as long as the boost controller is setup properly and diagnostics run to show if the engine is running fine..…

Just need to know if there's any differences between the fan shroud/cover between a TT and N/A? Thanks Vijay

Hey Everyone, right i got a quick question. The last 2 weeks iv had my Z theres been no problem. But from Wednesday afternoon through the night when i first start the car up and drive off there is a squeaking noise, like a belt slipping. It lasts for around 20 seconds, sometimes less, then stops for the rest of the drive. Then yesturday it was fine and today going to collage and back it was fine, but then on the way home from Asda tonight it done it again for 10 or so seconds then stops. Also if i switch on the heaters it starts making the noise aswell, but doesnt seem to when its dry. However on Wednesday we had heavy rain. Yesturday/Today dry (and no noi…

i am currently looking for both front door cards a power steering pipe back leather seats

Hi had my Z a month and would like to use it :duffer: car was running perfect then it ran a bit rough so cleaned the PTU ever since I cleaned it - it has failed to start at all. I have today got a PTU and a new temp sensor and the damn thing wont start at all still, it really tries to but wont quite any ideas every plug on the engine looks connected and I havent messed with anything apart form the old PTU cant understand why afterwards it wouldnt start at all wiggled things etc still no luck ta chris

Firstly I'd like to say that I'm not blaming Dipone for this at all as I know it came from his running car. Anywho, I bought his "JD" chipped auto ECU with the thought that it would be "plug and play" but on plugging it in the car wouldn't start, not even a little cough, nothing. :confused: When he had the unfortunate luck of crashing his car, is there anything that could've happened to the ECU? It's not something I could imagine happening, but you never know. Any thoughts?

Just a quick question.I have a 1990 na which has a new standard radiator which i believe all so cools the trans.is it still worth fitting an separate trans radiator or will a new standard rad do the job of cooling the trans on a na. thanks.

thinking of putting a vented bonnet the the beast -but not sure could someone photoshop one on for me like the one he sells at the z centre with the big centre scoop and the 2 smaller ones each side thanks kindly

When the car comes out of hibernation soon i need to replace tension rod bushes........what is prefered option new OE or aftermarket items. Is there much diffrence in driveability! Also is it worth buying bigger injectors [555] i have jd chip profec b etc what do you guys/gals think,been looking at cars which are similar to mine in spec and noticed cars are running 555. cheers Dave

Hi Guys, HELP. The power steering seems very stiff, cchecked the level ok,no leaks. Any advice please. Cheerz Chris.

I have just been out in the Zed and pulled up only to find steam pouring out the car. Opened the bonnet to have a look and could see it spurting out behind the drivers side of the block right at the top from the rubber pipe which connects to metal pipe I have circled in the picture attached. Does anyone know where the bottom of this pipe connects to and how easy it is to change please, please, please ? Many thanks in advance, Olly.
