Ok, heres my problem ive just fitted a pair of Sard R2D2 bos on my upper turbo hoses before the the throttle bodys, ive capped off the holes where the recircs were fitted, now I seem to be getting a fuel cut or something, basicly you put your foot down the boost needle swings round to 14 and then the power stops, then comes on again, it done this in first and second and a little in 3rd the engine has the following fitted; • Custom cat-back S/S exhaust • Induction- A'Pexi Power intake • JWT chip • Boost jets (boost now up to 12PSI) • Timing advanced +1 • Blitz Radiator Cap • Smith fuel lines My thought is the Sard bovs maybe holding pressure bett…

Good afternoon, Im from the Netherlands, and and I want to place bov's on my zx tt. But I don't know which type I shall choose! (I want to be heard :D) So I read on this forum that bov's from TurboXS are loud. But I never heard them! My question: Who can help me with soundclips from bovs on a zx tt? :bow: Thanks, Sisckywous ps. Sorry for my bad English :headvswal

Can anyone tell me how much an automatic gearbox weighs for a 300ZX. I've just bought one and i am having it shipped to Motherwell but the company i've arranged delivery only deal up to 50kg, this is just under 8 stone. I thought this would be ok but now i am not so sure. If the weather had been better i would have had my own off by now. (I've re-posted this as it was in the wrong forum, sorry)

Hello all!, I have posted a couple of times about this problem and had no joy? I have a 91 uk spec twin turbo with an auto gearbox I have two problems with it, the first is:- When driving on cold engine I select reverse drive back and after a few feet the box seems to click into a mode as if i was using the brake and gas peddal at same time its fine when warm. The second problem is:- when driving forward hard the gears go 1st to 2nd then 2nd to 4th after a few seconds it kicks into 3rd then to 4th. I have tryed the diognostic gearbox test but it doesent work? Can anyone please help me with this??? :confused: And thanks in advance!!

these were sold to me stating 300zx bulbs..how can they fit??

What are they like to change, I have just ordered two, so do I need a press or can I do it at home. Cheers, Scrawni.

Last night my car started to refuse to go into any gears, I eventually, with brute force manged to get it working but you really have to push it very hard into any gear now. It does not crunch and does it in every gear so I dont think its the box (praying its not!!!!). I could smell clutch at the end of the journey, not badly, but I could definitely smell it. It gets slightly easier the further you drive and if you double de-clutch but its not right. I had an RPS fast road clutch fitted about 1000 or so miles ago, its always been a bit stiff. I also had my gearbox oil changed about 100 miles ago. The car leaves no oil deposits on the floor when parked. Are RPS c…

Anyone used an NA clutch pedal in a TT? I have heard they have a longer pivot so dont need the booster. Anyone done this, hoe effective is it? Is it easy enough to do? Thanks, Ed

can someone tell me what these wheels are originally from.

just wanted to give a big thanks to wozzer!!! after all its not every day a mate lets you rag his Zed for a few hundred miles, to the point of blowing up the engine, then puttin you up in a hotel and feeding you alcohol for 24 hrs there after!!! forget the car of the month...... this bloke here is the member of the month!! CHEERS WOZZER :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

blue ZED seen drifting round every corner, three feet in front of me!!!! i was in wozzers silver Zed was it you?????? pmsl

i was just reading about another zed engine that has gone bang and it got me thinking about engine conversions..... Why hasnt any put an RB26 motor into a zed yet??? its nissans most bullet proof, and probably most tuneable engine, so surely its got to be favourate for a transplant into a zed. I know that its set up for a 4WD transmission, but there are a fair few GTR's that have been RWD converted? If anyone knows of anyone who has done/tried it, or of any reason why it cant be done feel free to enlighten me cheers in advance Nick

Driving the other night on the way home from work my car was fine, anyway later in my journey i put my foot down a bit and gave it a bit of a thrashing. when i parked up i heard a tapping noise coming from the engine, not sure where from. Its the second time its happened. On start up its fine give it a bit of a thrashing and i get a tapping noise. The oil level was checked a couple of weeks ago and was fine, im just worried its the bottom end. Any ideas please

Anyone's Z take a deeep intake of breath when taking the fuel cap off to fill up?!!....Mine does, and I've been meaning to ask if this was normal for a while now?!! Is there a breather pipe on the tank that might be blocked? It looks like I have an original cap, which seems to have breathe holes on it?? ( on the end of the threaded nozzle end which screws into the fuel filler pipe). I'm not sure if thats perhaps how it's supposed to breathe and that there's no breathe pipe? I could change the cap for one of my many get you home types in the garage, but wondered if the sucking in was normal?!! I'm going to nip out now after considering this and see if it does it…

as titled, I've heard mongoose systems on a few other cars but never on a 300zx tt, im in the middle of choosin a zorst for my car and i usually like the sound of mongoose systems but i would prefer a jap style muffler either side of the car instead of the standard looking mongoose system, anybody got a favourite sounding system? :confused:

Hi m8, I finally found the time to fit those brakes today - it was a pretty straight forward job with no major dramas apart from trying to figure out which way round the caliper brackets go :headvswal and modifying the back plates so they dont rub on the disk :headvswal :headvswal . Just need to get them bled properly now and all should be good. And before anyone says anything yes I know the wheels are manky :mac1:

i was just wondering about this 1996 zx i was looking at... seems like a fairly decent car; - cloth interior [what i wanted...not a leather girl] - 5 speed - not twin turbo [also what i wanted] - 96,000 miles now this is the problem. the guy sent me a few more pics of the car and i noticed the odometer isn't digital; it's one of those old cable types. click! okay the car is being sold for about $8500 [uS dollars]. any suggestions from you guys out there? i've been looking for a few months now, and i've found that it's extremely hard to find a 300 with the drivers seat on the left hand side [i live in canada, british columbia], 5 speed transmissio…

wasnt really sure where to put this mate but was up at crd the day with my car and was askin about urs

Howdy Guys and Girls, Anyone know where to get a set of front pads and discs ASAP.

I was planning on doing a full upgrade come end of May but need some standard ones to get me there. Also need them by Wednesday (28 Feb) at the lastest as need to get the car to the garage to fit my new sound system and alarm on Thursday and Friday. I live in Newcastle (Northeast) and have struggled today to find any. Any ideas?
