Hi. Got one of these things in the Z... http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/apexi_turbo_timer/ (silver timer, top of the page. Works great and appears to show O2 reading when the joystick is adjusted to that position. Can anyone tell me what figure should be appearing on the display - mine is dropping from 3.78 odds, down to around the 1.78 mark as it gets warmed up. This can vary up and down. Just wondering what this figure means.

ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET BETTER PERFORMANCE HEADLIGHT BULBS THAT WILL FIT A JAP IMPORT Z??? THE BULBS IN MY CAR ARE WEIRD AND CANT FIND ANYTHING LIKE THEM IN SHOPS?? :confused:

I have a problem with my throttle. It wants to be either on or off and won't feather. This makes for a jerky ride, especially round town. Anyone had this and cured it. I have a code 55 and the engines had loads of new parts such as O2 sensors etc.

Hello chaps. I would like to bend your ears. What advantage do you get from removing the hicas? I have heard a lot of people mentioning this mod. but was thinking that if those little jap men thought it was worth all that research and millions of yen how come so many want it taken away?

I've changed the rear gearbox mount for a new one (thanks MrF) and I've changed the centre support bearing for a nearly new one (thanks Slick Pete) but I'm afraid to report that the vibrations are still there. It's a coarse-ness that comes in about 40 and goes about 70. So - a couple of questions: The UV joints on the prop are all tight but very notchy. Is this the fault or are they supposed to be like that? There is the possibility that I've reassembled it out of balance. I marked all of the joints as you are supposed to but removed the centre flange without referencing it to the front shaft - so I guessed it position on reassembly (what an idiot!). So, ca…

on the drivers side firewall there is the series off solenoids in the corner hwat is the purpose of them, I know they are lionked to the air pumps in the innr wings which i removed. but they seem to pipe up to the throttle body and to the n/a side of the intake pipe work. I thought off removing them and blanking the vac pipes off. Anybody done it or what is the best way to bypass all that crap. cheers Richard

Is this a common thing to go on the 300zx as i have a suspision that one of mine has started to leak a little causeing oil to go onto the hot area of the turbo and manifold. Also how many hours am i looking at to do it as ive just looked and there is soooooooooooo much stuff to remove FFS. Wish i had a normal car LOL. Any recommendations of what else to think of doing whilst i have the plenum off?

my climate control outside temp display seems to reset it's self when i turn off the ignition, im driving around and its working fine, yesterday was 2 degrees, but when i get back in the car 1 hour later it says 14 then counts itself back down? do everyones work this way? :confused: thanks

Hi fellas Have "recently" fitted new intercoolers and removed my carbon canister and before I put it all back together I've used my boost leak detector (for the first time) to check the intake system for leaks. I'm using a small compressor but I'm getting no positive pressure at all :confused: All of the relevant intake pipes were blocked during the CC removal and the ICs are on securely. I'm pretty sure that I had a leak before the IC install (possibly after my Apexi BOVS went on :rolleyes: ) as I was only getting about 7psi on my aftermarket gauge :confused: Does anyone have a diagram showing the complete routing of the vacuum lines and pipes which ma…

hi guys, having experienced some cold nights, Ive discovered that my rear factory standard spoiler has started to curl away from the boot in places, when i looked closer and pressed on the affected areas it was like crushing an ice pop, it seems water has got in and when frozen expanded and thats what has caused the problem. I was wondering is there anything I can do to stop this happening or to somehow repair it? cheers Lee

i really havent got the facilities to do an engine coolent flush and being a soft southerner its getting a bit cold to be messing about for hours on the z. how much do you recon it would cost to get a flush and antifreeze mix put back in to my z. or any competent z nut willing to do it for me locally for a few beers or cash ect. i really worried about getting air in the system cheers peeps gaz

Around the Camberwell area turning into Albany Road heading towards the Old Kent Road. Looks like a Jap car from the front but the indicators are in the fog lights like UK and has a UK rear bumper. Anyone on here wants to own up? :hyper:

Right been working on / off on a fix for the dreaded goose honk that occurs when fitting induction kits when the standard recircs are still been used. I know that fitting bovs cures the fault but why spend out on bovs if you have an auto box as they do very little then and anyhow not all owners have the spare cash. Right, having looked at why the noise occures and at what throttle opening etc, it appears to be that crucial opening angles of the throttles the recircs operation flutters, this gives a degree of recirc operation that should NOT be occurring, the noise is a direct result of this. So the recirc work ok, bUT the control of the recirc is the proble…

Hi all, I'm debating buying a 1989 ZX TT soon & using it as a daily driver.... Now i'm going from a Toyota Cynos import 1.5 NA to the 3L TT so running costs will obviously go up.... But my question is - how many of you run your ZX as a daily driver? I currently drive about 20 miles to & from work daily but i'm going to start site visits soon. J
