Is there any other (cheaper) knock sensor I can use on my UK TT? Not worried about it being compatible with the stock ECU as I'll be running an AEM EMS.

Very small picture on the 2nd to last page(iirc) I`m not sure if its something to be proud of but well done anyway. :(

HI Everyone, i want to have a thatcham 1 alarm fitted to my Z this week and i was just wondering if anyone had any recomendations as i want my Z totaly secure but get confused with all the technical jargon, also i am in plymouth and need it fitting too. point in the right direction would be greatfull. merry christmas thanks James

http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_0670/article.html Found that and although it's on an Audi (cough, spit) it kinda makes sense. I recently put tips in my w/g lines but something isn't 100%. I think i'm getting spikes as most of the time it boosts to 14psi but some times it'll hit 16 and then it feels like the clutch is slipping :( Might also have a slight leak where i've cut and inserted the jets but need to look into that some more. So now considering the merits of jets to reduce pressure in the w/g lines against bleed off some of the pressure, both results in less pressure reaching the w/g so higher boost. (and i know that everyone rants about th…

This is an idea, that could be of help to members....... If it works, could a Mod make it a sticky? Basically, it works like this.... Members place up a post here, when they need the OEM part number for their Z32/31, and other members who have NISSAN FAST post up the part numbers! Simple really :D So post up your requests, be as discriptive as possible, not just "the bit that sticks in the whatsamacallit" ;)

got home from work today at 2.45pm and by 4.15 had replaced my heater matrix with a new one on this :dance: :dance:

Does anyone know how much the little screw covers that go at the top of the radio consol are to buy new? Also how much the strip is that covers the other screws??

Ok, so from a quick glance, this looks quite tidy and as the add states...'imaculate'.....and a UK model. Looks like it's had a wack up the harris.....JDM bumper and rear fog. So imaculate, it's had one of the sills welded up and painted black, curbed to feck alloys, missing rear wiper blade. Also, where on earth did the seller dream up this load of bollocks. One of the world's most reliable cars????? Sure, good ones give little problem, but that statement is hilarious as is the 'easy to maintain' bit!! :rofl: Paintwork and interior do look clean though, I'll give it that. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL-UK-MODEL-IMMAC…

Taken from us forum. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [i believe I remember seeing 2+2 slicktop TTs on japan websites with z32s for sale, however it has been awhile and I have not since seen a slicktop on those websites. I did once see a slicktop 2+2 in the US. The conclusion we can to about a year ago here was that it was a custom job. I do remember that Z.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I know this was not a factory car but would be intresting to see a pic of a 2x2 slicktop .It also says they produced 200 slicktops a year in japan.

I have been looking for some stock front springs to raise the ride height a little to protect my new front bumper and have just realised that I have some down at my parents house. Only problem is I don't know if they are front or rear ones and they live an hour away so cant just pop round with a tape measure. The old man has measured them for me and they are 4.5 inches wide and just under 14 inches long? Does this sound like fronts or backs to you lot? Cheers, Justin:)

car has a major missfire problem it is becoming more often as soon as it warms up changed two broken coil packs changed plugs checked leads checked temp senders done ecu test and had code 55 any other suggestions could it possibly be air flow meter or head gasket failure! turbos still boosting like they should all advice greatly appreciated before i lose all interest in this heap of junk which has cost me 3500 in repairs etc so far simon 1990 uk tt manual

and before someone says it, no i will 100% not be buying this one as i cant afford it. It does look nice and its a proper onebuilt by strosek in germany and used to be owned by them!! so rare car Mike

It's been about 5 hours since I picked my Zed up with it's new Bomex front bumper fitted and guess what.........? I have bashed the front of it already going up a small incline! Its just chipped it a little but will still need to go back to the bodyshop to have the nicks filled and painted. Obviously I can't have thgis happen every time I go out in it so I guess my only option is to raise the ride height a bit on the front? I am running KYB's all round and have unknown progessive springs which cut the ride height by quite a bit. With the standard front end I just about got away with everything but now with the bomex on I have no chance. I guess I will have…

Hi. My exhaust was leaking mainly from the decat pipes so I ordered some new ones from petrolheads. SWB 300 TT. After taking the exhaust off the right side came off fine but the left side all the bolts snapped :xxx: . See pics Drilled the bolts through so I can now get a nut and bolt on. Problem is these new decat pipes are longer than the ones that where on. The old exhaust is a hks superdragger. These must be made differently to other exhausts because of the length of the different sections. So it looks like I am going to need a rear section. Also due to the fact it also has cracks and holes in it. (cant really tell by pics …

uh oh... silver zed broken down with smoke comin out of it... waiting to turn onto the avenue in southampton this morning after 9am.... was it anyone off here... what happened?? :cry: :cry: :cry:

Thinking of popping up to Reading agin this month. Really good to meet some other Zed Heads last time. Anyone going to the next one? Andy

I have got myself a Cat 2 immobiliser and I was 99% sure I knew how to fit it, but I would like a second opion please LMAO :wack: Right here goes. Connect to Starter Motor Isolating circuit (18A Relay used for this circuit) It has two wires which have to be joined into a wire to loop it. Going off the diagram where would you cut and put the immobiliser wires....... Also I am going to put the other wires (its a two isolating circuit) to the ignition coil,fuel Pump Relay or ? cheers Paul

just looking on autotrader at the prices of zeds... there are some fairly standard ones going for a lot of money at the moment. :) whether they get or not is another matter i suppose! would be nice to see a little price hike instead of the free fall that seems to happening :rolleyes:
