Wasted all morning going backwards and forwards with the likes of Halfords and Eurocarparts trying to get a decent battery for the z. Anyone got any ideas? I've got 2 amps running my sound system so want quite a strong one that fits. Andy

hello all, i know this has been discuss many time on here and USA forum but wanted to really know who tryed them? Who really flow tested them? because when i see the seller profil i wonder why he has 99.8% positif and he is a power seller !!! => http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/tlfsupra89/ I've sent email to some customer who bought the 740cc, so will see what they think about them :p Any one in UK flow test injectors?

:rant: Just my luck, left for work early this morning got 500 yards down the road when the wiper linkage popped of. Drove home to do a quick repair which didn't work, had to drive to work in the pouring rain with just the passenger side wiper connected :nono: got there 30mins late. Have splashed (excuse the pun) out on a brand new one from dealer which should arrive on Saturday, managed to swap the linkage round at work so hopefully it will not fall of going home!

As some of you may know i've lost £350 towards a set of R33 Calipers sold by a chap on the GTR forum. He goes by the name of Nigel Zingler and gives false address details and contact numbers he also uses a hotmail account in the name of TollZingler. The Police in Plymouth are now aware of this and have had a further x4 complaints all relating to the same guy based in Plymouth. If he does appear on here do not give or transfer any money to him....Nat West fraud dept. are also in contact with the Police who will supply any information they need today. However if by chance anyone does get a legitamate address or contact number for him please let me know a…

im fitting new dials today hopefully and wondered how to remove then safely as ive heard that it can be tricky!? :confused:

Got this fitted the other day, Was just wondering on things like getting air to it. I take it i leave the splash guard where it was? Also i think I may of read somwhere about covering or blocking 2 pipes on the N/A as its just lost air ? Obviously theres a new nose panel with vents in I need to get as well

Has anyone here binned the re-circ valves on there car. I was thinking of do this and just blocking the hoses up, I have seen this done on 200sx without problems other that compressor stall noises. What do you think?

I'm thinking of removing the cover under the bonnet as after 16 years it looks rather tired. Will this affect the paint or can you gt something else to reflect the heat like foil?

I didnt think id been saying this so soon, but im back, and looking for another zed. and before anyone asks, yes ive lost the plot, anyone who knows me nows i lost my marble many many moons ago. first and foremost, hello to old faithfulls: Ryan.......of course Greg MAC Smithy Chris@Get Greddy Danny@DTA Cybernet Sideshowbob Apache speeddemon chunk Nige Jay300zx Luke Jeff sarge and everyone else who i had regular contact with As i expected the power of the force is still strong with the zed. I was, and admittedly still am, looking at an evo 4 or 5, but one day i say a gorgeous black 99 spec'd swb manual tt, and i fell in love a…

My imported zed speedo is in kmph Is there any kind of digital device i can get about as big as a boost controller which would sit on my steering wheel column just by the speedo and calculate my speed in mph? I just want a little digital display which shows me how fast i'm going rather than me having to convert the clocks/speedo over. Links to mentioned products? i.e - ebay. Any help appreciated.

as above around 13:30 14:00 ish, just past alershot coming onto the A31 r/b. very tidy motor with HUGE shinny rims

hi people, im looking at buying a different car and am seriously considering a 300zx. is there any common problems that i should be looking at mechanically and cosmetically? im looking at manual transmission and preferably turbo,i currently have a starlet gt turbo so i didn't know if i would be "down grading" in terms of performance if i go for an n/a? thanks guys

hi does anyone out there know what wires i have to splice together on a manual conversion have spent the last 2 days changing engine and i am about to connect everything back up but unsure what wires on my old auto loom need to be modifiedfor the manual box thanks

i have recently installed a rebuilt engine in my 90tt manual. she runs fine at standstill but as soon as i pull away the ign con fuse blows in the engine bay relay box. its the 10amp one. i have checked and checked for trapped wires, bad earths and even tried tilting engine and box and yanking on loom/connections and nothing. but soon as i pull away bang the fuse goes. was gonna disconnect the alternator and try and drive it then????? any ideas???

Got a koyo rad which im fitting to my car and ive put it in the engine bay for a little taster of what its gonna look like(my engines out for rebuilding).and ive noticed the top brackets dont match the profile of the core.is there a common mod to be made to enable them to be used.my second question is do maplins sell 28pin eprom sockets and what is the going rate for getting one soldered in?.

Right picked up the car today and have a couple of Q's. The car in question is a 92 TT manual swb slicktop import 1) The car has 2 alpine stereos. One a cd player/tuner, the other a mini-disc player. The cd player/tuner only seems to go to frequencies upto 90.0 and therefore cannot get any decent radio stations in my area. Is this because its a jap imported stereo too? It also doesnt like to play copied cd's lol. 2) The alarm fitted is a Micro DLR4HD. Do you think this would have been fitted in the UK? The central locking doesnt seem to work correctly. Are the 2 front doors controlled via rods as when I unlock the door it makes a kind of a buzzing sound and…

After reading that almost 30-40% of zeds seen are running in safety boost i decided to do an ECU test tonight. Having never done one before i might of gotten this wrong but any help to explain would be appreciated. accessed the ecu turn the ignition on but didnt start car. Turned pot fully clockwise - waited 3 seconds and turned back. I then get three long flashes and four short flashes. I assume this is a code of 34 as this cycle of three long and four short flashes just continues. Having read the ecu test help page i have found the following... 34 Detonation Sensor circuit The detonation sensor circuit is open or shorted (abnormally high or low …

Wow - what a difference :hyper: :hyper: Recommended to all you manual Zed owners :D

yo guys could any1 give me the stats of the intercoolers the 300 has as standard? ie how much it can hold, the max PSI it can handle etc looking to upgrade so looking at diff makes to compare thanks :)
