Guys, How easy is it to convert from KPH to MPH? Also, if the car has eighteens on it how much will the new speedo be out? Cheers

Who has made big power gains on standard tubs. I know you should look for no more than 15 PSI - but some people we running much more from thier standard tubs at Bruntingthorpe. So how much power has been made from standard tubs and what mode did you have?

know why it feels as tho my rear wheels are turning when i go over bumps. my car jumps from side to side terribly. when i jack the rear wheels up i can turn the wheels about 5 degrees. it feels as tho the wheel bearing is fooked but it has previously been suggested that it could be worn shockers (they are very worn) or hicas arms. what are all these other bushes and are they worth replacing. pictures attached

Hi all just wondering what can you do to upgrade the standerd turbos? i have heard that theres business that can convert them to ball bearing type with larger impellers. If so where are they? how much ? and is there anything to upgrade in respect of this other then the ecu? Do i have to change the jet size for the intake to get the most out of them? And finally.......has any one had this done ? and what other upgrades would ye think i should do? 400 - 450 BHP is my aim with relibality beeing the main factor thanks :bow:

Hi, I have Tein Coilovers and the ride height is adjustable. I have just replaced all four tyres and have noticed a lot of wear around the inside edges of all four old tyres. I suspect this is due to the camber or incorrect suspension setup. I have rang Abbey Motorsport and am awaiting them to get back to me. They said they are not sure if they can help as they specialise in Skylines, however they said I might need new upper arms and bushes to get the shocks back in alignment. Does anyone know what this means or whats involved? Can anyone advise me on this matter and whether coilovers can be re-calibrated or aligned. Thanks

Mine has been on the car for a year now - is there a way to clean it/service it?

Can anyone tell me how to remove the instrument cluster unit (speedo, rev counter, boost gauge etc)? I am getting a converted unit (MPH) and want to fit it ASAP. Many thanks for any help in advance. Paul.

I have searched the forum and have seen different reports ranging from 1370 to 1590kg's Mine is a 91 JDM manual 2+2 Targa. I know the power and gearing so if I can get the weight right I can work out my performance (theroetical 0-60 and 1/4 mile) How heavy is my car....? I have nothing that would make a difference to the weight - so it will be close to standard.

Hello, I am a shiny new and looking for a 300ZX. I am really fussy about cars and I want a really decent example, I am prepared to travel all over the country to get it. My budget is around £7000, I i am after a 96 or 95, at a push a 94. Not bothered if its modded or not. I am after an oynx black manual TT with leather. Question is though, will a Jap import be that much more expenisve to insure? And Is there a specialist who sells Z's or can source a quality. What is the wisest thing I can do with my give or take £7000? Thanks! :smw:

I've liked the look of this http://www.funkypower.co.uk/catalogue.php?make=NISSAN&model=300ZX%20-%20FAIRLADY&year=&level1=ELECTRONICS&level2=PERFORMANCE+METERING&level3=&id_product=2662 for a while now but can't seem to find out for sure if this is going to fit my car. I'm always suspicious of stuff that is "Plug and Play" :-) Has any one got one of these already? My cars a Jap 300zx tt

Guy and and a growing no of girls, Right first off, what's involved in changing the rear seat belt's it to uk speck ones, i.e. 3 point fitting, also how do i go about changing the front belts so they are not on the doors, obviously this is a jspec :rolleyes: And lastly, anybody know how to fit the rear window in a tailgate tub? is it a case of bonding the widow to the fiber glass or what, real stuck on this one :headvswal and wanna fit it tommorow nite (finish work at 5 so post's before then please.) :bow: :bow: :bow: Many thanks inadvance. Neil

I have an issue with the passenger side turbo, is it true the engine should come out completely to carry out the work, or can they be reached underneath? thanks

Anybody got instructions to make ECU cable?

Well, haven't had chance to do any performance mods to the zed yet, but for some strange reason speedo says I can get from 0-60 within 3 seconds and 0-100 in 5.5!!!!!!!!! :D Yet actual speed when the speedo is reading 100mph is only about 60mph. What can cause this to suddenly go wrong?? It can't be reading in kph as its a UK car. Any ideas???????? :( :confused:

6.00pm Sunday. Black zed with tinted windows and dark rear lights. You were coming past the Chester Zoo car park entrance on the A41 heading towards Ellesmere Port. I think it was Jap spec on a J plate. I was in my Vectra estate ( :x: ) coming the other way. Sure I saw club stickers in the side windows.

£10 reward for anyone spots my car :dance: :dance: :dance:

few pics for you,might be useful BOTTOM END ASSEMBLY OIL PUMP STRIP DOWN

Where the hell do you get one of these from ? Thanks .

Hi Guys Well they just have to go, my dials I mean. I currently have a jap import and my speedo goes from 0 to 120mph, the problem is that it's not even right. I think the dial is out my 10mph and not in my favour. So when I doing 30mph the dial says 20mph etc. So what are the options? I think I just want to change them to 180mph dials, but what happens about the mileometer which is currently in kms? Also I like indigo dials so if it worth doing this at the same time? Oh and any ideas about costs? Spencer

Hey there Looking to get new shocks for my Jap spec TT. Should I do adjustable or not?? thanks

hi everyone this is my first post,although i joined a while back but i mostly just browse! anyway,i have a 96 300zx non turbo(jap import) automatic and i love it to bits,had it over a year and no problems......until now and as usual its not straight forward although it might be to you guys! right,everything fine on startup and when driving but once the engine warms up and the auto choke kicks off it starts playing up. it does it when im in gear and on the brakes when stationary at the lights say,the engine revs drop from about 800rpm to about 500rpm,then it starts chasing itself,reving on its own then falling and chugging etc,when i accelerate its fine,…

Hi guys, Joined the forum as im in the market for a 300ZX. Ideally im looking for an SWB Manual. Currently I drive a Rover 220 Coupe Turbo which is fairly quick. I am confused though as to the true performance figures for a 300ZX, as the following information shows a huge amount of discrepency. 1989 Nissan 300ZX 7.1 15.5 1990 Nissan 300ZX 7.1 15.5 1990 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 6.5 15.0 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 5.6 14.1 1991 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 7.5 15.9 1991 Nissan 300ZX Turbo (auto) 7.0 15.4 1992 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 5.7 14.2 1993 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 5.2 13.8 1994 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 6.0 14.4 1995 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 5.5 13.9 Can any…

Hi guys and girls I have just seen what may become my first 300 for sale in my local village garage, it seems very cheap altough it needs a bit of work but I have a couple of questions if that is okay. Firstly it has had it's engine replaced with a 300 non turbo engine. This is fine by me but I am converned as to how it would affect my insurance as it is no longer a 300zx turbo. Would you people think this would cause problems as it is a modification or as it is reducing the performance would this be okay? Any ideas??? Secondly this 300, I think, is very cheap but it the work needed worthwhile? It is on an H plate has 100,000km on the clock alth…
