insane zed, all the best mate, hope you have a good one

Hello all, I'm making my 300zx a track car only. So I try to win some weight every where. And this afternoon while removing the radiator of the A/C was thinking about using it for oil cooling as there is a fan. Can it be done as the radiator is bigger than the oil one? I've have Greddy warning gauge so could use that to monitor oil temperature and a switch to start the fan. Good or bad idea?

Put a datascan on my car today. Had a code 13 (last 30 starts) we cleared it and it hasnt come back yet. Will clean connecter and check that one again. More worrying was they two O2 sensors. They just sat at 35 at 2000rpm. They didnt sway as they should have? Will an Apexi A-SFC II affect how the O2 sensors work? There were two new ones put on on the 22/9/2004. Would they break that quickly? Apart from that everything else was alright!

HI!! Mates, A friend to seel this car, but I not to know how if to buy or not THANKS!

Are there any cheap ideas on getting horses for my z32? I just need some cheap ideas on get horsepower or torque.....

i was driving to oxford this morning for an important course when my drivers rear tyre decided it had had enough @ 70mph.... milliseconds after it blew the tyre made the decision that it wanted to overtake me and carry on along the motorway... whilst watching my tyre drive itself into the laybay up ahead i was nearly crying at the sound of my nice 18" wheel grinding on the hard stuff!!!! after f'in and blindin for a few secs i put my raincoat on and stepped out into the pissin rain to slap the space saver on... after my pit stop i continued my journey battling to keep the car in a straight line through the hardcore downfall. i was 15mins late gettin to oxford an…

Are there any cheap ideas on getting hoses for my z32?

hi everyone just changed my prop bearing which was pretty bad. thought all was well, then i noticed when i accelerate i can feel knocking though accelerator pedal and also if i depress clutch slightly while accelerating. noticed tick over very erratic. keeps moving between 2000rpm and 1000rpm. got my head under bonnet and rev'd her up from there. its sounds like a burbling noise. very strange i know! im not suffering any loss in performance that i can really tell. really weird! help!

I need info on whether it is a good idea to put dual electric-fans in my z32....And what kind of outcome comes from doing so....

well i fitted the vvt springs and o rings today and the car is still fecking rattling. a bit better but still there, feck it i,m not gonna bother any more, if she dies - she dies.....he he rocky 4. well i cant be arsed to try any thing else so sod it i,m gonna drive her and just enjoy...

Finally got my car back from Autoglass with a new rear window seal, they charged £75 for removal and refitting of the rear screen but most importantly they did the job without a single scratch to the tint or bodywork so I am happy with that.

When my car goes in for the rebuild, all the pipework for the HICAS will be removed, as I have a HICAS Elimantor bar fitted. Once this is done, will I need A NA PAS pot, or will I still need a TT PAS pot. Just planning ahead for chromed parts :) Many thanks Barry

:headvswal and they said my problem with my alarm is the sirens backup battery thats why it doesnt chirp anymore. and a new one is blurry expensive. anybody ever taken apart a clifford siren box to replace battery??

Anyone any ideas as to why this should happen? Is a short circuit or blown fuse the only explanation? Any response welcome!

As above, are they any good? Does anyone have a name of someone they bought one from that was OK from Ebay? Or should I buy from a trader.? Thanks

First 300ZX I have seen since buying mine on Monday. White one heading past the speed cameras north of Watchfield last night.

my car is in safety mode i did an ecu check and it came up code 13 coolant temp sensor which i cleaned but car is still the same i also have a prob with the rpm of the car it runs from 800rpm to 1800 sometimes could this be to do with the airflow meter on the side of the left throttle bodie any suggestions???????

Just bought a turbo timer and gonna install it, doesn't seem too difficult just plug into the harness and earth out on body, however my turbo timer has a wire to connect to the hand brake and it recommends for safety. Has anyone experienced this before and is it necessary?

After market back boxes and Facelift spoiler it looked like :cool: ? Coming into Bromley off the A21 at about 22.00.

Pete (TurboZ) and Graham (GrahamS) connected my car upto Datascan the other month and found, that the timing stayed at 25 degrees, even when the car was left running and reached 81 temp. Any ideas what could be causing this? Car is a UK, manual conversion, has Koyo rad and Greddy SMIC. Thanks in advance. Barry

About 9am I think, heading towards Farnborough coming from Baron's Beemers. I was heading the other way and only just caught a glimpse through the metal railings. Looked stock, apart from multi-spoke alloys. Mark
