My car has a Greedy E-01 and Apexi S-AFC II, JD socketed chip. Normally it runs at 12psi. Its spose to go into overtake boost at a press of a button. Taking it to 16psi. If I want to set it to run at 16psi all the time, im going to do this on the rolling road, is there anything they need to adjust on the e-01 or s-afc. Or is it just a case of setting to to 16 psi and run it up and check fueling/knocking. Thanks.

well had the car to a garage today and he reckons it sounds like the little ends that are rattling on overrun, the noise only comes on at around 2500 revs just after you blip the throttle. only seems to have gotton worse since i put the magnatec in. i used the semi 10-40. i put a shot of STP in her today and still the sound is there. its not that its a real loud noise its just i know if it is the little ends then it will get alot worse. What are my options. would it be cheaper to pull the engine, strip her down and replace all bearings ie, big main and little. i could also check on other things that could need changing. or would it be cheaper to buy a block with heads and…

A mint condition UK 300ZX (Z32) brochure!! Full colour, 38 pages, absolutely fantastic :dance: Full of brilliant pictures of the series 1 zed, A4 size pages. I've just scanned it into the PC, so far it's running at 215MB!!!! Hopefully tomorrow, I should have the paint chart turn up as well. Once this arrives I'll be making them both into a full pdf file, which should reduce it a bit! :D Any one interested, give me a shout. Don't yet know how I'd get it to you, as e-mail is out of the question for a start ;)

I'm getting a Hid kit from Danny, my right light (driver side) is held together by glue and is not aligned properly ... funny that :rolleyes: How do you align the lights or where can i go?, would it be better to get a new light/casing? Anyone got the bolt that goes into the door on drivers side that holds the hand gr…

Don't get me wrong,i luv my Zed to bits,but..... every time i run over something as small as a cats eye,my back nearly breaks,and the car skips sideways. The ol' girl has been lowered so much by the previous owner,that there is just enough room to get your fingers inbetween the arches and the tyres. She's running on 17" wheels with low prof tyres. I don't think the springs are shagged 'cos i bought it with a full MOT 6 weeks ago. So if anyone knows how to make the ride a bit more comfy(oo-er missus) without making the car look silly,you would make a newby very happy-cheers!

parked on eggington street right now, anyone on here? Yas

Hi Im looking at getting a Z and i just wondered how Twitchy they are? it will be my first RWD car.

wen i start my car up on a morning there is a light rattle which laasts for about 2 seconds then goes of as soon as the oil pressure goes up. do these cars have hydraulic tappets. if so could this be the noise i,m hearing when the engine is hot, the sound only seems to come on after i have driven hard for a bit. and dosnt do it under load or over run. just when you dip the clutch and rev it slightly. i dont want this to end up being the little end rattle which i think it could be. has any one had the little ends go on them. my oil pressure is always good even when hot. i changed the oil the other day to the recommended semi synth 10 - 40. i used castrol magnatesc. should …
