Help PLEASE !!! .......... I had Zworx collect my car (to replace head gaskets etc) but cant get Micky to answer my calls for a progress report (or indeed any calls even from other people trying!!!).........I am more than a little concerned about getting my car back and it owes me nearly 14k (alot of mods and very very quick!!). Does anyone have an address for his workshop or a private address so that I can call in to put my mind at ease (or start a process which I dont want to even think about right now!!) Please help. Many Thanks Tony

I took the Zed for her 2nd attempt MOT today and she's passed! :D Whilst running to and from the MOT station, I think I found why my new tubs aren't producing any positive boost! I have a huuuge boost leak (constant pssst on idle) which seems to be under the passenger side of the plenum. I'm guessing that a pipe has popped off as the plenum was only recently refitted... Any ideas what pipe this may be and is it likely to be repairable with plenum in place? If I can get this sorted by the weekend, then maybe I can take her to the rolling road day after all :dance: Many thanks for any ideas! CheerZ Steve :)

Hello folks, I was hoping someone may be able to help point me in the right direction with regards to bring my 300zx to the UK. Currently, its in New Zealand. It is a 1992 with a 1995 jap motor & transmission in it, done roughly about 24000kms. Its fairly standard, cept it don't have any emmission controls. I've done a bit of tuning of the ECU, put some 'nice' turbos in it and wrote myself a new chip for it, but have left it with a friend with only a mines ECU in it so they don't thrash it too much... What are the likely issues I may face getting it on the road here in the UK? I have access to a very well equipped garage and are not afraid of getting un…

Just been looking into this as i am looking to lose weight on the car (me as well :tongue: ) Been onto the wheel place which i got my wheels from and the new wheels are 2kg's lighter than my old wheels which in rolling radius works out to 14/1 so if you work it all out ie 2kg savings per wheel times 4 = 8kg savings on wheels then times that by 14 = 112kg rolling weight saving which i would imagine would make quite a big difference :cool: Some bugger buy my wheels :nana2: Mike

Hey all, I finally got a 300ZX TT last week and only 2 hours after picking her up the engine died :cry: It's 1 of 3 things, oil leak, water leak or just over heated! Let me tell you what happend!! Coming home on the M1 it just lost power forcing me to pull over! Once i stopped, the engine was smoking like a right ******* (white smoke) so to be on the safe side i called the fire brigade! Fortunatly she wasn't on fire but once they cooled most of the engine down they had a look at the oil dipstick which was bone dry, this convincing us all it was the oil and therefore the engine was ****ed! Once a recovery guy came and took it to a local…

Wow looks like my suspenny will eventually be set up soon as the KYB AGX (same as nismo S-tune) dampers will soon be fitted to compliment my poly bushes, pillow ball upper mounts and eibach springs all-round. I also have white-line anti-roll bars front and rear so...... Anyone running a set-up similar? If so what settings do you advise for the KYB's (front and rear)? My driving habits are fast twisty B roads lots of 200 miler motorway sprints and end of this month the nurburgring :nana2: so setting suggestions much appreciated. Chris

Team, Any idea where these are and anyone fitted aftermarket ones? Install photos much appreciated Chris

Trying to replace the misserable bulb holder in the 3rd brakelight which sits behind the perspex panel. Nissan for some reason put a wierd bulb holder behind them which has bulbs facing at different angles, so you get areas which look really dim on it. Those that have them know what I mean. Because of the size restrictions and the bulb angles, replacing the stock bulbs with LEDs can't be done. BUT, I've been pointed in the general direction of a company called clearcorners.com over in the states. Has anyone used them before? Apparently, they can remanufacture your existing bulb holders and turn the strip into an LED array. http://www.clearcorners.…

Been advised that this is a great firm that offer a while u wait service on ZX prop shafts, they also tend to keep the centre bearings in stock so no need to worry about that and they replace the UJ's with serviceable ones... Will be taking a prop shaft to these guys next week and will advise on cost / service etc... web link as below :) http://www.reco-prop.com/
