A new postman knocked on my door this morning asking what car I had on the drive. He said he'd seen a Ferrari and a Bentley GT earlier and preferred mine by miles. Made me smile :) although I didn't tell him I couldn't afford to run it and was taking it off the road for winter :rofl:

Hi all, iv'e got an auto tt and the gearbox is slow on the upchange and sometimes wont change up at all.Its definately a sensor or a/t ecu problem. I replaced the TPS and set it up correctly and made sure i was getting 0.45v closed throttle and 4.0v wide open throttle which it was at the plug harness where the TPS plugs in.However when i test the voltage accross terminals 34 and ground on the a/t ecu i only get 0.35v closed throttle and 2.9v wide open throttle.Now if i cut the wire that goes to terminal 34 just before the ecu connector and test the voltage it is correct,as soon as i re-connect the wire i lose some of the voltage.I thoroughly checked the pins on the …

im new to the forum (couldnt find a newbies thread) anyway hello everyone, my question is would an intake plemum off a 1990 300zx fit a 1994 300zx ? its just i was looking to buy one to polish up as my friend wants a polished one for his car and rather than the car being off the road while i polish it we could just swap them over.

Hi guy'sthought this would be a good idea, i'm stuff as to how to fit it, just checking i'm connecting it up right... the back of the engine, on the passenger side. The IAA valve pipe work connects into a connector do i connect it to the other side of the this connector and do away with the little peice of pipe work that is already there? also where the fook do i mount it???? can seam to see a space big enough for it! any body got one fitted that can put up some pic's so i can get an idea as to where i should mount it. Cheers Neil
