Any of you guys got a tried and tested method of cleaning the connectors to make sure they are gettring the proper contact?? Thanks for the help

Hi there Does anyone have any pics they can send me of the Idle Valve unit as well as the Grey and Yellow Connectors that everyone mentions on the forum?? Thanks a ton.

Ok next problem. Bled them up.WITHOUT engine running pumped the pedal and held it...pressure remains. Let it go and wait ten seconds..pedal will travel to the floor. WITH engine running pedal hits the floor and has absolutely NO pressure at all. What the hell is going on with my car? :shock:

Any one got a hint of which order you're supposed to bleed these things and at which point the abs unit comes into it? Rich

Ive been looking at getting wide arches for a while and ive finally decided to get them on, but .... which one to get, 1st. does this one have wide arches, or is it just the way the lights shining on it? 2nd. the one that stella has, and the one that looks the same but has two holes near the bottom (if you get what i mean) 3rd. Like faisal's car, although if i got this mine would be like a twin Does anyone know of any more? and if you can have a different back bumper as im not to impressed with the usual one (cant find a pic). Thanx

I read this on a site about wheels: Negative Offset wheels have their mounting face toward the rear of the wheel - powerful rear-wheel drive cars often have wheels with negative offset. So does that actually mean it would be better for a zed to have negative offset? Does it really matter in terms of performance? Cheers Al

Hi, I have heard alot of people discussing this and know that they are a diagnostic tool for the zed. Conzult does cost alot more and therefore what are the benifits for the average Zed owner. thanks

red one with unmoded front and widened rear and 4 pot lights, on they way to the A5 comin from hinckley its the second one ive seen on that road lol regards andy

Any more tips on how to yank the ******* off? I know for sure that everything has been disconnected apart from the pipes along the back. Unless I should really do those too. The passenger side of the plenum is pretty loose and is moving quite a bit, though how ever the driver's side isnt soo loose and is a ******* to move. So, any one wanna help me a bit more!? The car's been off road for a week now. :cry:

friday i stopped in a parking space and the car just died. started back up revs irratic rising and falling between 2-300 rpm then dies again. started for a 3 rd time and it dies straight away. left it for an hour problem gone for now but revs not as steady as they were before the problems. disconnected tps this evening and reconnected.revs are a little more steady. connected datascan and there are no error codes etc. i suspect either the idle valve needs cleaning so will clean that and the throttle bodies tomorrow . drove up the road saturday after i gave it an oil change. it started to misfire and wouldn't rev. i took out of gear and the engine stalled.h…

I put them on yeaterday - it was very easy. THe only slightly hard bit was fiding space to mount the boxes which increase the voltage. They look awesome - but I haven't tried them in the dark yet as I was away last night - looking forward to trying them later! I might post a pic but I'm never convinced they show that much anyway.

Can anyone with datascan or consult confirm that the VVT solenoids always activate to 'on' when the throttle is opened and the car is in gear. This is how mine seem to operate but I thought they were only active at 5000rpm. Car runs fine but I'm curious.

Maybe I have just never noticed it before, but the 300ZX now appears in the values section of "Classic and Sportscar". This is good news as far as I am concerned as steady price rises normally follow. Standard Zeds, with only minor mods, should therefore start to increase in value but, unfortunately, the opposite normally applies for those with huge mods. An interesting point to debate I think.

Finally there was a break in the rain and I managed to fit my new rear end. Thanks to Kirbz for the lights. Check it out y'all...

Happy Birthday Paul :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: Enjoy a lazy Sunday :)

All the best bud :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: Have a good day.

:rofl: hi can anyone help me wat is the top speed of z32 n/a no mods thanks

Is there a thread or page somewhere that gives a big tutorial on what wheels to get, pros and cons of sizes e.g. which wheel widths fill the arches well, what spacers may be needed, the effect of offset etc. And the same with tyres - what widths fit on various wheels.

Having had absolutely no luck with the 300zx i am considering letting the guy who is using it for filming at the moment sell it for me.....apparently its quite famous now and should recoup some of the fortune I have spent on it due to its new found fame....its been in the paper and will be on film 2006 etc. I am considering buying an M3 on an 02 plate and wondered if anyone had any experience of the car in terms of performance and importantly reliability!!!! Your opinions are always valued. Rob PS.I really wanted to make the zed thing work but I trusted the wrong garages with the work and over a year later the car will be fixed and I've lost interest :…

Hi there The revs are quite low on my car, around 500rpm in drive. How do I raise them to the correct speed?? Thanks

i saw one today it was red with the boomerang rear spoiler and round exhausts

Just finished new digital dash. Machined panel out of 1/2" ally so I could sink the gauges in. The centre one is an AEM wideband sensor display, unfortunately only available in red. One more bit ready for engine swap day!

do they fit or what?
