I would like some dumpy valvy thingys on me car that go whoooossshhhh. Now, I have got an Apexi induction kitty and need advice on what to get and how much to spend. Would I be asking too much for someone to help me fit them as the last time I did any engine work I destroyed a BMW's engine thus need help here. I am in Enfield, Middlesex. I have read the DIY guide to fitting BOVs but its too much for me. I want a big loud noise that will p*ss the entire street off as the Supra next door has one and every time I'm out there and tinkering he has to make an issue of how good his car is and the brilliant dump valve he has fitted last week. Thus I am calling on all forum m…

Currently have a top end Cobra alarm and am just not happy with it. Looking to replace it with a G5 Clifford. However have no clue with which model to go for and what to spend. These are the features I would like: Remote locking/unlocking Remote start Turbo timer inbuilt Total closure Headlamp delay Proximity warning sensor Has to be CAT1 certified for insurance purposes Now I tried interpreting the various models and features but the jargon seems confusing. Want to know which model would be best and how much is one expected to pay. Obviously its pointless getting the top model as some features I will never need to use. Last but not least, any recomm…

Bright Yellow Zed, M6 Northbound near Warrington around 4pm today.

Just thought I would post some pic's during the bodywork and widebody kit fitting. The pictures were took on Wednesday, the panels were just tacked up getting the shape right. Called in today and the panels are now fitted and they are working on blending the skirt/air duct into the rear arch. BArry

Blue zed with a grey haired man driving. In traffic on M5 south just before Gordano services. :cool:

hi im getting my nissan 300zx in two months time and i have been researching different ones im getting a 1991 twin turbo auto targa prob 2+2. i have seen examples were the engine has siezed and the explanation for this was given as the previous owner had put standard unleaded fuel in rather than premium. anyone know if the zx's have to be ran only on premium like optimax or something? anyone any idea of the repair costs for a seized engine?

My Modena Ferarri replica wheels are looking a bit worse for wear after winter and I am looking to tidy them up. After a quick scrub this afternoon, it looks like the outside rims are highly polished, with the inner part painted. Does this sound right? If anyone has a picture of these wheels in there original state, it would be VERY helpful to see, just so I know exactly what I am aiming for to get them as standard! :duffer:

Bit hard to describe this one There is one bolt on each side of the car, with a round head on the outside of the window glass. (They match the ones on the targa tops if that's any help!) Mine are tatty and I wanted to have them powder coated. I have got the ones off the targas fine, but wondered if anyone knows how to get the ones off the windows????

Like everyone who has Modena wheels, I am missing several centre caps and the pins that hold them in place. I have managed to keep hold of one of each and so have a template and wondered if there was anyone here handy enough to make me a nice new set?????? If you do know someone, they could be onto a nice little earner here, cos everyone I know who has these wheels has lost these, and you can't get them anywhere! I don't mind whats on the new caps, (although Z would be nice!) they don't have to be the same as the originals and even plain would be OK, I can always add decals anyway. Heres what the originals look like, in case you can't remember!

Right Ive got me haed light out and striped but can anyone tell me do i take of that round crome whole that gose round light in the grey plastic insirt held on with 3 screws before sending away? :)

Anyone done this? I've been using a Doolz setup with 1 MAF and a dummy for ages but wanting to get my SAFC put to proper use and wire in a second MAF. My manual for the SAFC is in Japanese and I don't know the pins on the MAF either...

I was booked into get my alarm fitted this morning and was told that clifford would have to send a modified module as it is a Jap import. I reckon he forgot to order the alarm, what do you guys say?

Does anyone know where Russ is from 300zx body styling ? Thanks

anyone fitted this kit - got pics of the install? Is quality good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1990-1996-NISSAN-300ZX-BR-ALUMINUM-DASH-KIT_W0QQitemZ4618793898QQcategoryZ10402QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Theres a few different brushed alloy kits out there but this one seems to be cut round the vents a little better than some of the others Ive seen

Hi fellas, I recently bought replacement Injector connectors from MJP to replace the split/cracked/non-existant ones on the car. My question is: has anyone done this before and did you crimp or solder the wires? Cheers, Mark

i dont know what else to try iv'e replaced all 6 plugs (ngk platinum),bought and tried another coil pack on each plug to try to find a possible faulty one but still plays up. i can be driving along fine then it goes to 5 and after a while it rights itself again. frustrating to say the least! can anyone shed some light on the problem and offer up an answer? much obliged.

I am an indpendent Collision INvestigator and I have been asked to look into a fatal road accident involving a "H" reg 300zx on behalf of the defence. I need to find out the dimensions of a ZX ideally with an overhead plan drawing of such a vehicle in order to superimpose the damage profile on the vehicle to establish the impact speed. I am hoping that on eof your members can help me with this. In the absence of any such drawing (which may be in handbook or other technical paper) I would like to know the following Overall Length, Overall Width (Excluding wing mirrors) Overall width (Including wing mirrors) Wheelbase, Front & Rear Track, Front over…

I bought some replacement glow gauges a while back, and I was wondering what the process would be like of taking the dash off and revealing the stock gauges so that i can slip the new ones over? I believe they go ontop of the old ones. Here is a picture. How might I go about installing these? On a 1991 NA 2+2? Would I have to drop the steering column? Which parts of the dash must i remove? I'd like some help! Im pretty new to this kind of thing. If you need anymore information about what im doing just ask so you can better give me advice. Thanks. ________________________ "It ends Tonight.."

Saw it parked up in front of a garage premises in the afternoon on the way to work and still there on way back about 25 minutes ago?

Hello all, i am trying to wire up my amp, but i cant find an inlet to take the positive/power wire form the battery into the cabin to connect to the amp there must be a little inlet or something so that i can take the wire through from the engine bay into the cabin. :headvswal Any ideas where this could be?

I've seen this Zed about four times in the past week, details as follows... Male driver J Reg Red NA model Jap(anese) import Spotted in the Hill Avenue area/Manthorpe Road area over the last couple of weeks. You won't have spotted me, as I'm not currently driving my Zed! :D

First i would like to say hi and before anyone thinks original user name, i have had it for years as i am a eZX primera P10 enthusiast and run a rare UK development 4x4 sr20det with 310bhp@ FW. With this being off the road for a while a bought an immaculate 91 NA, 47k with some jap service history and uk service history. One thing is that i paid 3k for her (private) which seemed a lot. I was looking for months and although they start for a grand, tt`s as well it seemed this was what you had to pay for an A1 NA and 5-6k + for an A1 TT. Just want to check i paid the right money for a car of this standard? On to my second point. I have heard so many different insurance …
