cover a standing mile in under 30sec? Be even better if it was closer to 25sec.. Im planning something (none zed related) and just wondered if this could be done... would even an F1 car be pushing the 20sec standing mile? Cheers guys n gals

Around a week or so ago i put my accelerated hard causing my zed to shoot the dip stick out and spray oil everywere. Also to cause a vast amount of bluish smoke to come from exhaust. When i say vast, its BAD!!!!! After speaking to various people it was decided that psv valves may be blocked. I changed them. No difference. First the smoke was oil and now its just smoke from unburnt fuel. I first thought piston rings gone but now its running on 5 cyl. Looking at the plugs one was wet with fuel. Could this be the dreaded burnt out valve or is there other things to check. cheers all :cry:

Iv been talking to a mate of mine for a while now about Nitrous oxide and its kinda got me swaying towards getting it fitted..........iv been told a wet kit is the best one to go for....... Who here has one on a Manual Twin Turbo and what kinda kit and performance increase did they find.............how bad can it be for my engine? Any information will be helpful.........or even better experiences using the stuff Cheers Fas

Hi, planning to remove the plenum on my uk tt for polishing et etc...easy enuff to do or is there more to it? Mark

Did anyone bought a car through Bonsaicars ever? how are they? any good reputation about them? what would you say about them? spoke to them not long ago about buying a 300ZX 96,97 model deep purple metallic and they seem pretty nice and work fair and honest from what I realize.... anyone agree´s with me? would be helpful to know. thanx as always my Z Bros :cool: :)

It has often crossed my mind to sell the zed, but i woundnt know what to let it go for. So with your zed in the condition its in now, how much would you sell it for. Being realistic I havnt seen this posted before but if it has sorry.

Come on guys who's going Cybernut would like us to have a club stand. I've got club hand outs and boards almost completed for the club stand as well. It's gonna be a great day and a chance for us to meet up and show off the Zed and promote the 300zx club. :dance: :dance: :dance: :nana2: Get your names down now. :) Details in the South East section

what oil goes in a TT uk spec???? I was going to out in 10-40 or 0-40

I'm going to have an ECU upgrade from ZEDWOULD and would to know if this will damage the life span of the engine.

I have planes for changing the original cooler on my Zed to a larger one, to achieve lower oil temp while driving on hot days and track... Is there any problems of mounting a too big cooler? My goal for the next summer is 550hp, and therefore a bigger cooler... Kind regards Kenneth

Due to the number of times people ask in this section "where is this connector or that connector etc" would it not be an idea to copy it to this forum and make it sticky?

This may be a daft question but where is the backup battery normally located in a car alarm siren, is it in the siren unit itself? If so, are they usually replaceable or are they a rechargeable non-serviceable fixed unit? I can't see how I can open the siren unit on my Scorpion alarm as it appears sealed. Cheers.

Hi all.. Noticed some hesitation/stutter under heavy load around about 5k revs onwards over the past couple of weeks and i think its getting worse. I've got it into my head that its the spark plugs for some reason, i dont know when they were last changed anyway so will need to get them done i think.. I had had it in my n/a MR2 and i think that turned out to be the Rotor Arm, Dizzy Cap and spark plugs..could that be the same problem as my 300 TT? '90 Auto? Thanks Ed

Saw a black H reg 300zx parked near to the Talking Heads pub in Southampton. It was dark, and couldnt see much else. Was on Sunday night about 11pm.

My recon prop arrived this morning and I'm about to book the Zed in at the same place that recently sorted out my suspension/wheel alignment. These guys are supposed to be the best local performance car people, specialising in fast japanese but particularly evo's and supras. They are also authorised Tein dealers. Whilst changing my brakes last weekend I had a look at my front shocks (tein). Now, according to the garage in question. The front shocks are adjusted as high as they'll go (they even sugested the suspension could be the wrong ones for the car) yet you cannot get your hand in between the tyre and wheelarch. Anyhow, looking at the shock, the height …

Just been looking through my art pad and getting rid of a few drawings. This is one I did of a version R last year. Ebay Andy

Right then, i'm on 3weeks holiday now so i'm gonna finally get round to sorting out some stuff on my Z... I'm gonna replace my Mongoose back boxes cause there too quiet for my liking with some 3" interal diameter straight through ones... I can get these from JETEX but what I also want to do is also weld a 5" Round exhaust tip to each back box a bit like Macca has on his... I've looked on the web but can find anyone that can supply me with these.. Plenty of 4" ones out there but no 5" ones.. If someone knows where I could get one please let me know!!! Thanks very much people!!! :bow:

OK guys, this one has p****d me right off. Filled up my ride Saturday night with petrol. Dumba** that I am, forgot to put filler cap back on. No problemo, straight to H*LF**DS for a replacement, nifty thing, plastic thing with a turnable centre thingy to turn and lock down nice 'n tight. Drove car to work as usual and from nowhere started to run like a pig. Best way to describe symptoms are what I would imagine dirty fuel might do or a blocked something causing fuel starvation. Garage saved my cap so went to collect on way home from work thinking maybe some technology in the factory fitted one. Some venting or breathing issue. Anyway, replaced the cap and guess what?....…

Hi you lot, I am taking out my hicas soon and want to connect the two pipes together to keep the curcit going so to speak. Before I take the hoses off and get fliud all over the drive, can anyone tell me what size thread the fittings are and are they conical or flat (i:e with an 'o' ring) so I can get the connection first. Cheers, Scrawni.
