I am going to move my bovs to the recirc pipes that are blocked off with alloy bungs. The trouble is they were fitted by the previous owner . Can anyone tell me which pipe to use as there is two per side so nearest to the wheel or nearest to the induction Thanks Allan

anyone out there had trouble activating the datascan software?? i've sent off the code via email a few times, but with no answer!! its been about 2 weeks now, i'm getting a little upset!

Hey guys, I am a Canuck who's imported a Japanese-market right Hand Drive Z. I would really like a full pillar replacement with two or even three gauge pods flushed into it, like this: [imghttp://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/images/new%20picz%201342%20019.jpg[/img] Does anyone have one for sale? They are so bloody expensive new ($125 Canadian!) plus the cost of shipping makes it bloody insane for those of us RHD'ers in a LHD country! :hyper: Please help a lone RHD'er out! If it helps, I have dual British/Canadian citizenship, thanks to my mum being born on an RAF base and being an RAF engineer's kid ;)

All the best Kris :duffer: I am down your way in a few weeks may bump into you again. Steve all the best you old **** :rofl: 42? I had you down for 54 :confused: ;)

I'm running 235x35x19 fronts (8.5") and 265x30x19 rears (9.5). Was wondering if anyone is runing 245 fronts and 275 rears on similar wheels. Just think with the 235/265 combination, my rims are quite exposed, even though these tyre sizes were recommended by the supplier where I bought them. Cheers Steve

Will this do mate?

just wonded if like myself anyone prefers the way the car drives on the normal zed wheels,tried 17" allso had a spell with 18" but i can truthfully say having uk rims with 225 and 245 with a 40 section tire seems to give the car a lighter and more nimble feel with no traction problems except the rears away from the lights ;) but the car with 16" turns into bends alot faster i think

Was enjoying a good drive out in the zed today after ages due to a hectic work schedule and out of all bloody days it decides to pack in today..... Called the AA out and the guy did lots of tests......he found out that the fuel pump relays and connectors are all working etc etc but the car isint being fed fuel........he goes it could be the Fuel pump.......is this possible? The car was driving well and pulling well and then an hour later after i come back to it it wont start.... The car hasint played up before other than it cutting out when i stop on a odd occasion and the revs going a bit funny when i slow down but thats nothing out of the extrodinary …

Well i picked up my zed 2 days ago and its been running fine. Tonight I was coming home from work and heard a clunking noise coming from the passenger front wheel. It slowed down and speed up when I slowed down/sped up. Anyway, it got quite bad after about 1 mile and it sounded like i had a flat tyre so I pulled over into a farm lane/dirt track and as I came to a halt I heard a clang and something fell off my car... Looked along the track and found a piece of metal with a load of nuts and bolts all over the floor. Inspection of the front passenger wheel I noticed that my Nismo LM 2-piece split rim alloys had almost come apart and nearly all but 3 bolt…

Ppl, Can i splice in another OBD port on to the dash loom,this may sound like a strange requet but i have data scan and i'm looking at some gadgets that require an OBD port to work, now i have 2 more OBD ports and wondered if there would interferance(sp) from one port to the another? Cheers Neil

right my z seems to be running fine but every now and again (few weeks) i would be giving it a little paced driving and it pulls like a train. say over a 7 mile journey mixed carrageway and normal roads. when i get home turn off. say i go out again (normal to paced driving) the cat light would flicker on and off up to being fully on! (still running fine pulling great etc.) this will then flicker then go off. ok keep driving comes on full stays on till i get home them when i pull up turn my lights off the cat light dims or goes off. if i turn the lights back on the cat light comes on. but its also controlled by the revs/throttle. its such a strange thing …

Hi All, Is this worth doing, i.e from America or are the shipping costs too much??. I've been looking at US websites but haven't found one yet that ships to UK. Any ideas?/. HARTY.

Ive just picked up the latest copy of japanese performance (march 07) and have read my way through to the Letters section, and i found this: "Valuable support, I feel i must write to you and tell you abouth the amazing support i recieved from two car clubs that i belong to, The SXOC and 300zx.co.uk . Last year i lost my wife in an horrific car accident on the A303, just outside salisbury, and in the months following, i recieved many hundreds of emails and support from members and non members from both clubs. This was followed up by a gift of 2000 pounds, which enabled me to cover the costs of my wife funeral and also put some in a trust fund for my kids. I man…

Hi there, hope you are well. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place/website where i can purchase a reconditioned front caliper from, please? My passenger side one goes click when i use the brakes, and squeals when braking lightly. The front shakes when braking hard around 60mph, so i think the disc is knackered too...again. Thanks for your time, Mr Pink

Going to look at at a 96 300zx today, am I right in thinking that these don't have the hydraulic hicas? Is there a check I can do to make sure it's working correctly? Have been on the 300zx.org site and got the ecu checklist and think I have aircon checklist too, does anyone have a link for the air con one to check I have the right one. Is there anything else, besides ecu, air con and hicas I can check without the conzult, barring basic mechanical tests like bearings, smokey tails pipes etc. Many thanks.

I found this on a forum in the U.S. Seeing as were looking for the same stuff ;) I thought this may be useful, I'm certainly going to look into it. Marc TT zed clutch uses a small booster on the inside of the engine bay with an ordinary master cyl outside. This one was $5 from a wrecker. Its off a p11 (1997 approx) Nissan Primera. Dont know if they have them in the US, but they are a small 4door front drive with sr18's and sr20 engines. They are the same bore size but due to a huge recessed firewall mount the resevoir separate. Instead of the booster vacuum hose poking thru, its now the reservoir hose. The hydraulic line pops thru just below it wit…

Hi there, does anyone know how easy/difficult it is to remove the exhausts? i have a blitz system and it has a small hole that needs welding up cheers ross

What's it supposed to read? Got any pictures of your dials?

Just bought a bright and shiney set of chrome 18's which I will use as summer wheels and keep my deep-dish 17's for the winter.. They came with 225/35/18 tyres on 8J Rims.. not the widest rim I know but the look real good.. :p Question... what is the widest tyre I can fit on the rear.. bit of a culture shock when I compare them to my 265's Could I fit 245's..?? cheerz B. flikz

Clutch booster i think has had it, been told there is a pipe i can disconnect and block as a temp fix. Has anyone any pics what pipe this is please as im bit confused to what pipe it is.

i have a datalog file and wondered if someone could take a quick look at it. i started at tickover for a bit then raised the revs to over 2k then held it there then let the revs drop to idle again. i just wondered if someone in the know with datascan log analyser could check to see if i have any problems. it just looks all pretty to me lol apart from i think i have a lazy left bank o2 sensor. edit file is too large to post on here if you are willing to help can i email it to you please :hyper:
