I'm looking at replacing my stock filters with a single unit such as this one. http://www.dta-motorsport.co.uk/index2.htm Would I be correct in assuming that I just strip the airflow meter from the standard airbox, this connects as before to the fixed ducting, and the Apexi connects to the rear of the airflow meter? Thanks David

hi guys, my plan is too buy 92 tt 300zx manual early next year, however i have come across a 91 tt manual at a salvage's today. the engine, manual box, tubs and basically all the rest besides the shell is available. the car is a J reg import, and the clocks are still in km. the odometer is reading 120km. the engine looks clean and im really interested in it as an engine to take apart and re build over the summer as a project to get to know the engine ready for when i buy mine. can anyone advise my on how much this is worth roughly? their asking around £400 for engine and tubs, but i kno i can get them down. any tell tale sales that the engine is on the way out th…

hello got in car this morning started it up and the fan kicked in straight away as if it was overheating.i turned off the car and checked the water level and everything was fine.drove it approx 20 mile and started to overheat so i stopped and found that my radiator has droped down slightly causing the cap to press against the frame next to it.could this have caused it to loose water and overheat if it was pushing the cap away?it took about a litre and a half of water then the fan went off and is running ok now.cant see how the radiator is mounted to see what has made it drop.any ideas on any of this?

Hi, Just got my first zed today and I'm compiling my stuff to fix list! The dials have been changed from jap to uk spec and when the needle has been put on the rev counter the ignition was off and it was put on at zero so when the ignition is on it rises to about 1000 and over reads. How easy is it to get to the needle to move it? Secondly the tracking is out and the front tyres are showing high inner edge wear. Can the tracking be done by a normal garage? I.e is it the same as normal cars. Many thanks, more questions to come! Ed

Couple of questions re cooling, I have a Koyo rad to go on soon but noticed a lot of posts about Kenlowe fans, would this fan be an improvement? any pro's and cons for changing to a Kenlowe fan. I have a UK car, which has been converted to a manual. Would a Stillen or Nismo oil cooler be an advantage? They claim 300% more efficiency. Thanks Barry

Is there any diff between series 1 and series 2 ecu's? Can any or either be put in the different series cars? How can you tell which series the ecu has come from? Thanks

As above. I was in a black SWB.

Hi I'm currently driving an MR2 but lookin for a wee change and the 300ZX is top of my list just now, but I need some info and can't find what I'm looking for. These are basic things I need to know before I start going searching for one... What is the standard BHP of the import and UK TT? What is the 0-60 of the import and the UK TT? Are there any differences in models for the years that they came out? i.e. in MR2's there are different Revisions, which tend to have different brakes, wheels, changes in styling? What's the differences between the normal and the SWB? (apart from one is shorter) I've had a look about the site for quite a bit and …

as above ... i saw you!! .. who are ya? and its nice to see women driving zeds too

My cars been standing for a couple of weeks as I've been injured. The battery was flat yesterday (never happened before) so I used jump leads and it all went fine and dandy. Drove it for a bit then brought it home, turned it off. Checked it would start and it did, if maybe a little weak but I had only done a few miles. This morning it was flat again. I guess the battery may need replacing, any thoughts. Everything else is fine, so I don't think the alternator is the problem?? Maybe it just needs running for a bit longer to properly re-charge the battery, or top up the fluid?? Any thoughts?? Dave

how much would a leaking rad affect performance in a zed? Serious post please
