Saw a red one today about 8:10am, on the A26 heading to Twells. J

...but still on standard injectors? I know there won't be many - but if there is someone can you post your Profec settings as every time I get mine spot on, the next time I drive the car it keeps hitting the warning limit I have set at 13 psi. Have put it down to cooler air / under bonnet temps but in theory I though a boost controller should be unaffected by temperature?

Your car was parked up by the Newmarket Road/Elizabeth Way roundabout when I cycled past earlier this evening. In front of what (I think) might be student accomodation of some sort.

Shiney red standard looking Z with targas off on the A59 at Green Hammerton driving towards the A1 away from York. I was passing the other way and didn't get time to flash :o

has anyone got the blitz bovs and know how to set them up for 1bar as after fitting mine i can only get about 9pst what length does the screw need to be etc thanks

After searching the dip/dim issue im not sure how my zed is working at all ? I have a uk spec zed from 1990, but witha 99spec front bumper/spoiler. THe sidelights are contained within the "fog" lights in this bumper. Does this mean dipdim shouldnt be an issue for me>? Is there an easy way i can check? ? Also what sort of temperature have guys been "cooking" the headlights on and for how long? Whats the best thing to use to re-seal the headlight unit after cleaning? Cheers all, sorry to ask stuipid questions but i need to get my headlights sorted to pass the mot!

Hi chaps, Hope your all well. I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on some wide alloys that i am about to purchase. The spec are as follows - 5stud 18-inch 114.3 fitment x2 Front width 10.5J/ offset F+12. x2 Rear width 13 J/ offset R-10. My concern is whether or not the offset will fit on my wide arch conversion. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks G.

just fitted my blitz bovs which are on hard pipes and tested it and i was running 1bar now its only got about 9psi the boost gauge reads nearly 10 but slowly goes down. and it seems to have a pop from the exhausts when changing gear . does this sound like i got a vac leak,i cut off the vac lines to the re-circs and bung them up and put the other end on the bovs.

Hi all, Well - i drove straight though a rock fight between two little bl**dy idiot , braindead kids either side of the road today (can you still call them kids at 16?), stopped, got out, but they ran off..anyway cut a long story short ive got 3 deep cuts straight to the metal on the passenger side back wing and a little ding mark too - spose ill have to live with the ding mark, but went to halfords to get a touch up pen, and they didnt have the 300zx listed..now my car is black and there were two blacks listed under nissan..i chose Kuro(?) black because my car is a '90 and kuro black was listed for nissans '89 on and the other black was listed for nissans '92 on.. …

Just wondering if anybody,s had any of these, if so are they any good and do they fit an auto or fit at all :confused: :confused: Thanks http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/90-96-NISSAN-300ZX-TURBO-DECAT-DE-CAT-DOWNPIPE-EXHAUST_W0QQitemZ220004864338QQihZ012QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi Just cruising ebay and came across this CLICK HERE has anyone ever tried a set of these? How do they comare to bailey or hks dump valves, any opinions would be great because i think i might buy a set I like the look of them, they're going to be fitted just before the throttle bodies and gonna look cool. Because im fitting them at the throttle bodies on the inlet pipes what will i need to completely remove the old re`circs and blank off if necessary? Cheers Jay

Well, its that time of year again and the Zed starts playing up LOL. The problem of a small miss fire has started and now im getting black smoke on tick over. Its defo a fuel prob. I have changed the spark plugs a few months back but put standard ones in. Im running a boost controller and the car is chipped. Just miled tuning. Could i have burnt a spark plugs out. Ive been doing alot of fast runs on the autobarn lately. Is there anything else to look for before i start ripping stuff out lol :headvswal

A little help please, does anyone know of a plinth/panel available to fit to the back of the z tailgate when the '93 spec spoiler is removed? It is needed to match in with the rear light units which fit below it. I am changing to a '99 spec spoiler which sits up off the tailgate. OR do I have to weld a plate in and paint that?

I'm a bit miffed at the moment as I not sure what my oil temp should be at. It seems to sit at around 85'C but if I give her some serious boot will climb to about 110'c unless I back off. The result is that water Temp will go into high 90's. The car is running a little rich at the moment, but JD said he'd map her properly on the rolling road soon, but I want the temp thing right before I sit her on a rolling road reving her tits off. Help??

Ok trust me to be different. Started to fit my whiteline lowering springs onto my nismo S tune dampers :bow: last week and noticed all was not well. :mad: Simply put the whiteline springs are the wrong diameter to fit the 300zx dampers. :mad: :mad: :mad: They are too big. A hurried call to demon tweeks and check of the on-line fitment catalogue confirmed that indeed the whiteline part numbers were correct but judge for yourself from the pics. would you have put these on your car? The guy said we have had hundreds of these fitted to loads of cars :shock: Compare the first pic of the whiteline spring and how it sits on the damper with clear day light …

What size are the pipes for the engine oil cooler and ATF cooler on an import? Looks like 1/4" ID to me? Thanks

Hey guys, was wondering if anybody knew of someone who for instance sells re-con turbo's but takes ur old ones off you to keep the cost down???

Does anyone have a tool to change my o2 sensors. If so, would you be prepared to pop it in the post so I could use it to change mine. I will get it straight back to you as soon as it's done. Obviously, I'll cover any postage costs. Cheers Steve

I bought some sunvisor tv's a few weeks ago and wanted to get them fixed in the car by jae. im crap at electronics and i dont want to break anything on the car. Just had a sneeky peek behind the dash and theres loads and loads of wires! I know of one place in tollerton, but you have to go over a speed bump to get to his workshop and its a bit high, it grinds the bottom of my car! :rant: Does anyone know where i can go and get them put in? (around nottingham)

What is a fair price for a full service? :- Cambelt change oil change change fuel, oil and air filters change gearbox/diff oil plugs, etc.

Guys, Can I have your opinions on the following please? I have a '90 Import TT Auto, and well, I find the oil pressure to be quite low on it. what is considered normal?? on a run, it may go up to about 3.5KG/Cm2 - however after an hour run (i commute a lot) it idles at 0.5 - 0.7KG/CM2 I know the oil is ok, as i just change the oil and put magnatec in there. is this pressure ok, and if not, what should i be getting?

Ok guys I replaced my alternator on Saturday and when removing the radiator i disconnected the too small pipes on the bottom of the radiator and a red fluid came out, (looked like power steering fluid) im guessing this is a cooling device on the bottom of the radiator? can any1 tell wat fluid it is as ill need to top it up..
