Hi everyone, Iv'e only had my Z a week or so and am trying to get it running properly.. At the moment it is running in safety boost,i know this as i connected a voltmeter to the wastegate solenoids and the ecu cuts the supply to them on full throttle leaving me with 5-6 psi.. I checked the water temp sensor circuit and replaced the sensor so thats ok.. When i came to look at the det. sensor i noticed i didn't even have one and the wiring harness connector had a resistor wedged in there instead.. I understand that this was probably done to override the sensor.. I tested the resistance of the resistor and it was about half a megohm or 500,000 ohms.. I then did…

I want to fit one of these Veilside C2 Front Bumper How hard are they to fit and do i need new lights that are in my bumper ? Cheers

Has anyone used an insurance approved repairer, and would anyone recommend using one? I have had big problems in the past with repairers that insurance companies have sent me to, so am very wary about them. I don't know whether to use one, or go to someone of my choice ie: a 300zx specialist?? Problem is, at the moment they have put me in the hands of their Legal Assistance people, they handle "no fault" claims directly through the 3rd parties insurance, so that I don't have to go through my own insurance. These people have approved repairers and provide a courtesy car etc, and say that ONLY "genuine" Nissan parts will be used, and repairs have a 3 year warranty! If I w…

my car used to be red, its been re-sprayed at some point and after sitting beside a blue Skyline at Trax im 99% sure its the same colour, does anyone know the paint code for it? or where i could find out? cheers Fraser

Right chaps and chapesses, at the moment my BOV's are in the same place as the stock recircs, I wanrt to move them up onto the top pipes using an alloy 'T' piece, would I need to block up both hoses of the original recircs or would I need to jjoin them together?? Did that make sense? Scotty

Hey guys, Registered recently. I currently own a renault clio v6 mk1 (rwd, 3.0 24v n/a v6, mid engined, 230bhp). I'm liking rwd although I think a v6 clio is not the one for me considering there is so much weight in the back they can very very easily be spun and die at islands etc. I've never owned a jap car or had a car with a turbo let alone two. I rang my insurance company (i'm 22 with 2 years no claims) and can get insured on a twin turbo 300zx no problem. They did refuse to insure me on an imported one. It has to be a UK car apparently. So now i'm looking for a minter or a 300zx, uk standard, has to be manual. I have upto about £10k to spend on on…
