Hi When i accelerate the revs are dropping before they rise this causes the car to stall when its cold. Anyone have any idea what is causing this. Its an Auto by the way. Cheers

Hi All So come on who was in their Gun Metal Grey 300zx this morning (24/04/06) at about 7:15am on the Hook Road, Chessington heading up to the A3? I was stood at the bus stop wishing I was driving a Z when you drove past. It looked and sounded great. Should be picking mine up soon........ :hyper: Spencer

nice bergandy Z parked at Boldon cinema Saturday night J reg UK spec

Very funny. PMSL Now who could have done that. Jason maybe?

Anyone know of someone in the London area that can do such a thing? I want to modify a set of standard non-electrical passenger side subframe so it can hold my aftermarket seats... anyone know how heavy those things are? As if they are a little too heavy I might go get a bride frame imported instead. Only asking because I dont have non-electric passenger seat and want to know if it's worth modifying or just getting a whole new frame that fits as standard.. :hyper:

Does anyone know where I can get one for the passenger side arm. I'm due for the dreaded MOT this week and this is one of the many things I need. Thanks all.

Does anyone know where I could find a nice big colour picture of the 300zx NA engine bay so I know exactly were to look for various components? If you do that would be excellent. Al

Danny (keano) was it you?? :D looked very nice buddy!!

Spotted a Zed on the A19, then noticed it was parked up in the layby!!! got closer to see it was an L reg blue Z just like.......... OH no............. It WAS BIRD!!!!!!!!!!! :x: :x:

has anyone fitted a pair of dumpvalves to their auto zed?i am thinking about it but want to know if they're easy to fit i.e is it just a case of connecting them to the main hose going to the turbos or is it more complex

Right - Im gonna need your expert advice here: I have an imprt TT that i was driving the other night when suddenly noticed loss of power and erratic idling. The rev needle then refused to get over 1000 and gradually lost more and more til the engine just shut down. I managed to pull it over before it completely died but couldnt then restart the car - electrics seem fine. starter motor ticking over and fuel pump seemed to be whirring but engine just wouldnt catch. Waited two hours for the AA after trying to restart unsuccessfully and wouldnt you know it when he turns up it starts on the first go although still "lumpy" acceleration. AA guy used to own a …

hi guys, i'm getting a loud crunching noise when i change gear from 3rd to 4th and 5th to 4th. it doesn't really matter what kind or rpm but it doesn't seem to happen at low speed. i'm also getting some vibration through the clutch pedal in 3rd 4th and 5th. :confused: anyone got any ideas? if it is the gearbox, how much will a new/reconditioned one cost me? cheers alex.

GUys, my scuttle panel is showing her age and was just wondering if there is a way to repaint it. I know some guys sell replacements but im in the raf and thinking our body shop on station could manage the scuttle panel. What sort of colour / undercoating / prep would be required? Cheers guys

I’m just about to order some sockets for my chip, but was wondering if anyone knew the pitch used in the Z for the ECU chip, 0.3”, 0.4” or 0.6” I assume that its 0.6" Thanks David

Been playing with my car today doing a few jobs and playing with the wastegates and boost controller so i can have a nice 1 bar with the controller switched off which it does now :) Anyway once we had sorted that out i went out on a nice long straight road to set up the boost controller to 1.2 and 1.5 bar!! started off low with the gain and eventually the controller takes over from the wastegate so its a case of keep tuning the boost controller up which i kept doing and giving it a run which was enjoyable ;) Next thing i'm at 1.1 bar and a bike starts to race me so thought why not so floored it after him, overtook him and as i did smoke pours out the back!!! :…

Mark fox suggested you. So here's my problem maybe you can help. :bow: :bow: :bow: I need to repair or change the driver's side lock on a Rover 214 as I'm getting rid of it for a Z. I'm on the Surrey/Hampshire border know anyone who can help in my area. (I bet your wondering if i've ever driven anything more powerfull yes is the answer TVR and RX7's) :D :D Thanking you in advance

my 91' TT (converted to manual) runs perfectly except for when the TPS is set to .45, then when the revs hit 2500 aprox they bounce down to 2000 then back up again, unless i set the TPS to .75 or disconect it totally, then the full rev range is fine except for the loss of around 1-2 psi boost!!! any ideas on this?? ive cleaned throttles, recon'd IAA valve, set idle, set timing to 15 degrees, its a brand new TPS from nissan aswell. the only other thing is 2 faulty o2 sensors which im gona replace but wouldnt have thought they were the problem ive taken it to Ryan at Zyech and its stumped him aswell!!! any help guys would be met gratefully :bow: :bow: :bow:

ok, ok, this is probably a dumb blonde moment but what the hell is that black plastic stick infront of the auto gear stick? with the orange sticker on it that you can push in? My mate who has one as well does not know what it does either and my curiosity is killing me!!!! Thanks :) Pete

Hi I have had two twin t 300zx's in the last four months and I must admit I am dissapointed by the power. They are reasonably fast but I couldnt really say I am blown away by the performance. Everyone seems to give glowing reports about the raw power. Have you guys git any thoughts on this? Does anyone live near tunbridge wells per chance with a tt that they know is a beast that would be willing to show me? Thanks peeps!!

Please help, I have lost my side lights, dash illumination and dipped lights, when I turn the lights on to dip the main beams come on automatically, Please can someone tel me why? Scotty

hi guys,i fitted my greddy intercoolers yesterday and also found a boost leak and sorted that too,but since putting the car back together it wont idle,as soon as i come off the throttle it cuts out,it's very slow in making boost and i'm getting a pop from the exhaust whenever i blip the throttle. any ideas? should i have done an ecu reset? thanks in advance Paul
