1pm coming out of western approach left into union street (heading towards town centre) Silver Z body kit with big fancy rear spoiler, looked nice.. :hyper:

I Just had the cam belt, tensioners, water pump, auxiliary belts etc changed and although the car seems to run perfectly, when you floor the accelerator the turbo boost shoots to around 14psi (US model) then it drops to around 12psi, then back to 14 again.Sometimes the boost stops at 9psi, pauses then jumps to 14..then back down to 13psi and so on. It´s not just the boost gauge either as you can actually feel the "slight" hesitation. The Turbos sound fine too..anyone got any ideas ? cheers :o)

very nice.looked very clean for this time of year,lol :hyper:

I'm about to brave the cold and try and wash and wax the Zed and it's blasted freezing out there :D

:cry: Gutted I'm afraid it's the end of the road for me and my Zed. I've spent quite a chunk of money that I had set aside over the past year sorting out niggles on the car and maintaining it etc. In November I spent over £1700 getting shocks (2nd hand), brakes (new front pads, 2nd hand rear discs), hicas arms (new) fitted to get it through the MOT. The other day it started to overheat, and I feared the worst. A chemical test at my local yokel garage confirmed my fears... head gasket, or possibly worse. I would go ahead, but the cash reserves have now dried up, so it's got to go. It'd probably make sense to break it, but I don't have the mechani…

Did The 300ZX ever have a heated front screan option??? Maybe on the 99 spec????

Hi peeps, I've just received new NGK Laser Platinum sparkies which I ordered from Road Runner Autosport. when they arrived I noticed that the code was PFR6N-11 (stock number 3546) Are these for the 300? I am reading through the zillions of threads and everyone keeps saying about PRF6B-11C? Have I been sent the wrong ones? Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated before I start putting them in.

sorry about all the questions relating to DV's at the moment..last one i promise.. the pipe going in to the DV from air intake what size should the pipe on the BOV be? as i need a bit of extra pipe? cheers

Been away for a while,but thought id visit again to look out for a SWB TT Slicky as i might be tempted by one. Now got a GTO TT which im loving to bits though. Even the infamous 300zx.co.uk 'bird' has been on GTOUK recently :shock:

For the 3rd or 4th time but looks like it could be all over this time :( shame because there a cracking company wih cracking products just looks like its badly run!!

As my bolster on the drivers side is starting to wear/scuff, is it possible to swap it with the one from the passenger side seat? If so how do I do it? Thanks.

1 dark grey-ish in Fleet headed towards Ancells Farm from the M3 way. Then another dark colour (it was dark outside) going past RAF Odiham. Both cars looked nice and tidy

Could anyone tell me what the rev counter should read when the clock cluster is out of the car, bought a uk cluster a couple of weeks ago and have only just noticed the rev needle is past the redline (ie past the 9000rpm), is this right? does it need power to read 0rpm or is it fooked?? If this is the case is it difficult to change just the rev counter as ive got one that works in my jap spec cluster.

Straight swap 1 set of clocks for another, the needle however still moves as if it's reading KMPH instead of MPH. Nice driving down the road and it reads around 70 when am only really doing around 40 ;) any ideas folks ? Was thinking if a speed convertor was fitted and still there, the speedo would run slower surely ? cheers smithy

Took my car to sheffield to work today. on the m1 on the way back i had a little play. with greddy pro spec 2 on hi, in 5th gear at 70mph foot flat to the floor boost hit 16psi before the controler cut it out at about 110mph WTF? I had it setup perfectly, could take it to the red line in 3rd and would reach about 14psi but in 5th it just keeps climbing I then set all the hi settings to the same as lo thinking i would get about 10psi like i do in low mode and it would sustain it but oh no it just keeps climbing, 16 again, just took longer to get there! i dont want that much boost!

I have nearly all the parts collected together for my new slicktop project now. So I have made a little progress on the build. It still looks a mess as anyone who has seen it knows. :cry: One day however....... :rolleyes:

Saw you around 17:30 coming into Inverness. Looked a nice car.
