can any body tell me why i cant send private messages? :cry: :cry:

Anyone else embarrassed by the current crop of new members? Bad english, text speak, and tails of racing on public roads all the time :mac1: This isn't a trader thread but it's the privatest place I can post :D Mike - what about adding certain common text speak words to the swear filter? :D Over on sxoc.co.uk the mods crack down on "shite" like Hitlers, it's annoying sometimes, closing threads all the time, but the zed forum would benefit IMO from a similar (ok, not as strict) tolerance. What do you think?

Hello. I'm changing the oil in my TT auto next week and been told to try this "engine cleaner" stuff ?? Has anyone used this or heard anything about it ? Also the car has a lazy lifter so planning to use SAE 5-50 if I can actually find any, does this sound right plz? Thanks.

My turbos built the pressure perfectly but my car runs really bad. I have already cleaned and checked almost everything (TPS, coils, O2, fuel pump, timing, boost leak,...). I have strange values with Datascan and the Profec. Profec E-01 : in "car select menu : speed meter pulse", if I enter "2" (the right value for the Z32, as with the AVC-R), the boost controller gives a wrong RPM (too high). If I enter "4", I read the right RPM values... Datascan : at WOT, the airflow never gives more than 3 volts (instead of 4.5 volts) and 35% of injectors duty cycle. I'm not always 'rich' under acceleration. My iddle is not perfect (variation of 60 rpm…

Is it possible to get a hard boot cover to replace the curtain / roller blind one?

Hi all i am new on this forum, and think its an absolute haven for information regarding my new zed......and want to thank all you guys for doin such a great job, as id be lost without your knowledge base.. Ive not had my zed long it's J spec manual TT, and am well please exept minor idle problems and think my boost gauge is wrong sometimes..maybe in safety boost but dont know how to tell!! I have bought a hks electronic boost gauge for my zed (never fitted one before), I have searched numerous forums to try and find the info i need but cant find anything, the installation instructions are in japanese, i have managed to work out what most of the wires do but can…

Hi guys I'm a newbie on your forum. I've joined primarily because shortly my Peugeot 306 DTurbo will be up for sale and I'm interested in a 300ZX; I've always admired this car compared to Supras and 3000GTs. I've spent a lot of money tuning my diesel but now as my insurance company trust (lol) me I've been getting good quotes for Jap or UK spec twin turbo 300s. Since having a turbo car, there is no chance I'm going back to N/A cars, so the N/A 300 is out of the question. Basically I'm looking for a 300ZX TT (manual preferred) which is in fairly good condition (I've seen some dogs recently and one with a compression problem on 6th cylinder, is this a co…

Was wondering if it's anyone on here? Black with some tribal stylee graphics on it. I'm either in the silver SWB or the red LWB round town..

Has anyone got one of these?I here they are pretty good and you get a decent bhp increase and a nicer sounding exhaust.

By the end of next week, my car will have the following;- Manual conversion, with RPS clutch and lightened flywheel Blitz air filter Blitx Bov's and hard pipes Mongoose Cat back Exhaust Grounding kit Carbon pads For the new year I have ready to fit Decat pipes Profec boost controller (will need to sort chip) Whats next? Doing it stage at a time, I want reliabilty over pure performance Koyo Rad? Thanks Barry

im getting a very slight clunk in second gear just sometimes but its got me worried!! Has anybody else had this? Please somebody tell me a dose of redline mt 90 will give her a cure :confused:

im thinking of having some new exhausts made in cardiff, just wondering if its worth it getting rid of the cats? i take it, it wont affect my mot's? also is it worth it on my sliktop? im looking to get that nice tubi sound so looking for a custom build. yes or no? wanna get rid of the single exhaust and double things up..

And how different did it make the car feel? Having mine done next week, along with a RPS sport clutch and lightened and balanced flywheel. Thanks Barry

I have been having a problem with the hard ride on my Z. I have just broke my 3rd set of anti roll bar clamps (u shaped ones in the middle). I think this is down to over hard suspension. I can only gess that the car is also lowered but by how much i have no idea. The anti roll bar is also bigger than stock. I gess the roads in Japan must be smoother than here as my fillings are coming lose. I also run 18" wheels on 235/40 tires which cant be helping. Im thinking of going for standard shocks with lowered spings. Unless anyone can give me a better route to go down.

when driving im getting a really really annoying knocking noise from my boot!! its starting to do my head in! any ideas what it can be? iv checked the spare wheel bay etc

I am thinking of getting a short movement gear stick for slicker gear changes. Are these worth it?

This is very odd. Stevemochan was good enough to come down with a Conzult to try fix my car. We connected it and fired the engine up, the timing was coming out at 35deg when cold down to 25deg when warm. The bizarre thing is that when I tried adjusting the CAS, the timing value from the Conzult remained unchanged! I was wondering if the Conzult won't work with an ECU with a JWT chip fitted. The CAS was obviously doing it's job as the engine speed changed when I adjusted the angle of it. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Shaun
