Hiya guys. Well I got about £120 to spend on the Zed, I would like a boost gauge, but rather than spend say £50 on a gauge and a single pod, could I get some digital boost controller that will also show me what boost am running for that kinda figure ? Whats my best options on monitoring boost levels with me £120. Cheers. Matt :)

Noticed a small pool of grease coming what appears to be a suspension bush (see pic) Can anyone confirm exactly where it's come from?? and what needs to be replaced. Cheers Phil

Are Zed headbolts stretchbolts? Do they need replacing when refitting heads? I recall reading somewhere that the headbolts on Zeds were not stretchbolts.

Not long had my ZED (1994 TT MAN uk car) The car run's about 13psi so i don't think it's standerd, i'm looking for 400bhp is this hard to get and how much??? Also what do boost jets do??? My mate zx run's 14psi and is a lot faster

Guys will these make much difference on a zed? What sort of price are people paying for these? Im swapping out my fluid anyway so was thinking maybe but some braided brake lines on as well, not bothered about the look really more after braking increase!

Howdy guys. OK my car came with two nasty tape players in, neither worked, so I whipped em out only to find neither had power running to em anyway. So I junked the two nasty units and I would like to install a nice JVC cd player I seen in halfords. I am just unsure I will be able to do this, as the wires that are in the car make no sense whatsoever to me :( Can anyone make head or tail of this lot ? theres a single brown wire, red, black, then one black wire that goes into a great bunch of wires, that cant be right can it ? Anyway heres a pic of what I'm presented with, any ideas guys on if I can install a new cd player with whats there ? and also…

dose any one know or have any idea if there are cooling problems with z eds ie leaking caps or prone to blocking up galaries or thermostas any ideas

How easy is it to remove the radiator shroud chaps??

I now think ive ruled out a problem with the boost controller, unless it is the soleniod stuck in the same position. Even if i turn off the boost controller off all together, its still pumping out abou 15 psi at wide open throttle, having said that if i put the controller on the hi setting it can hit max of 16psi before it alarms and backs off. Fookin thing is doing my head in, is there a simple method of unplumbing the controller and putting it back to stock, to rule the controller out altogether. Its a greddy profec e01 if that helps. Any ideas appreciated on causes of this or ways to test the wastegates etc. :headvswal

I know a lot fo you will be surprised, but I am selling my beloved car :cry: . The only reason I am selling her, is due to buying a house, a convertible for her and a motorbike for me all in this weekend. The spec can be found here: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=7197 What should I advertise her for? TIA, Dave G

Is this an acceptable way to install my Greddy Profec B II without struggling to access the wastegate actuators, access and un-plumb the standard boost solenoids? http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/avcr/avcr.html Basically rather that inserting fixed boost jets in the wastegate actuator feed, I’m inserting the boost controllers solenoid. As I am using the existing lines that connect to the actuator I accept that the minimum boost will be 9PSI and not 7PSI Thanks David

hi please help, i was looking at the rear fogs that have had some sort of set up done, was trying to wire up to relay on radio dash were switch is for it. think i wired up wrong and my rear lights went off and the fronts are stuck on high beam, every thing else works less rear lights and normal beam the fog wires i tried to sort out go to the back lights ground and the power comes off the clock power???so how no back lights and front stuck on high i have swapped all the realays over with m8 but no joy?? HELP NEEDED

Hi there. Thanks Jason for realising it could be a propshaft bearing. Anyone going to the grasshopper meet that I could take out for a quick spin to confirm this. If it is this how much can i expect to pay to sort it? Also, exhaust starting to blow a bit, wheres the best place to get performance exhaust? Simon Horner (Counting down the days to my first 300ZX meet!!)

I have had a good look now and the problem is this. Left hand side all lights work fine. Right hand side....with dip lights on I get a faint glow on the dip but also both left and right full beams glow dim. When I go to full beam I get full beam on the left and all the other lights glow dim...What the fook I'm thinking it must be something to do with the earth's. dip light on the right is back feeding into the full beam, but I dont know how... Please help anyone, Chris..

Where can you find the offset and rim size on a alloy wheel. Can't see it anywheres......? If I wanted to measure these, where do I measure from?

my maf went the other day, wouldnt rev above 2500, wouldnt drive above 2500 now before it went all together, the car used to drive crap, it would miss and sometimes back fire when cold, then when warm it would hesitate when pulling away, then when backing of the throttle it would missfire slightly again, then it wouldnt feather the throttle in, it would just stop then start to judder as if someone was pressing throttle on and off slightly so i put a new maf on and reset ecu (dissconnected batt for few hours) put it all back together and it was great the throttle response was spot on there was no missfire and ran sweet as a nut but now 100 miles on and its b…
