Hi all, Just wanted to know what happens if you exceed the limited mileage on your classic insurance. I went to renew my insurance this morning (which ends on the 20th) and I gave the current mileage. He told me I have done 3300 miles on a 3k policy and if I wanted to renew I would have to go to a 5k mile policy. I told him I'd get back to him. Then, just my luck someone goes into the back of my Z this afternoon. The guy was fine about it as it was a company car on lease but am I actually insured as I've gone past 3k miles????????? Cheers Vijay

Can anyone advise me on how to fit a new TPS. Positioning etc. Do I put it in exactly the same place as the old one? Or is there a technique to it. Cheers..

Can anyone tell me if I can eliminate Goose Honk from my z with a new set of BOV's. I only get it when I accelerate hard. I know some people get it when they decelerate, and new BOV's can get rid of it. Cheers..

Not really looked into the Hicas stuff yet but I reckon it must weigh a bit, don't want it for drifting so I need to know the procedure fo rgetting rid, also anyone got any experience of ABS removal? Was going to do this when fitting the hydraulic ebrake. Any guidance would be a help!

I think my shocks are f*cked from reading into why the rear of my car jumps and skips all over the place...I have recieved my rear shocks from a trader on here and have mark at the zen garage to install them. Can anyone advise me what I should expect to pay to get 4 wheel tracking sorted and if anyone knows where in the SE near gatwick I can get it done..... Regards, Matt

I recently fitted Mongoose exhaust with decat pipes also. My car has been hesitating for a while, when cold, and I think I can trace it back to when exhaust system was changed. Question I have is: The two sensors that go after the cat were cut and just taped up the underside of the body. Is this the correct procedure? and will these sensors still be working, could they be affecting the running of the car? Hope this makes sense. Cheers Steve

Hello can someone point me in the direction of a diagram of the wing mirrors. I need to take mine apart and see whats keeping it from closing. It starts to close but it does not finish. My drivers side one operates properly and it fits snuggly to the housing where the passenger side one does not fit snuggly to the housing so I think there is something loose or borken that is keeping it from oprerating properly or even sit properly. Thanks Konrad

Anyone have experience of restarting an overheated engine? I cut the engine as soon as I could but it won't restart again, the engine spins quite happily and doesn't make any funny noises, there's spark going to the cylinders and I know at least one of them has compression, also everything reads code55. I think that its overfuelling but I can't be certain, also I can't think of anything that might be cooked enough to stop it starting without throwing an error code.

I need an 'adaptor plate', is that right. How do they work ? do both the stock and additional temp guage senders both fit into the plate and both go into the water flow :confused: a picture would be nice. Also, where would I be able to get one from and what sort of money we talking ? CheerZ Paul

Sometime over the last 2 weeks i've bottomed out the zed on something, most likely a speed bump which has cracked my side skirts and bent the front wing out on one side. Is there anyone in the lancashire area that can sort the front wings out? I presume they can just be straightened and its not too hard? I'm not too fussed about the side skirts as i'm running the car into the ground anyway, but the wings look stupid as there is a big gap on one side.

My mate Dwarfy (on this forum i think) has told me that a boost controller can lower the boost level so i can get some more mpg. Will a GREDDY PROFEC B SPEC II do the job. And this one from ebay:- Ebay -> Greddy Profec B Spec II With a stock 300ZX turbo how much more can you get out of the turbos without 'serious' damage.. whatever that is! I would get the boost controller installed by Zcentre in Tamwroth. Cheers

I've seen these mentioned a few times and must admit, they sound interesting. Can anyone tell me what exactly are the benefits of fitting one? My Zed is totally unmodded under the bonnet so would one of these make any difference? Also on a slightly different note, does anyone know if it's ok to tow an auto Zed (no more than about 3 miles) if it's in neutral? Any help greatly appreciated. Ta The Dirty One....

Basically I pulled away a bit sharpish....the rear wheels started to jump around and banged a bit as i gripped n jumped...all seemed fine untill a couple of minutes later when the power/revs started jumping around...it would cut to below 2000 rpm and then come back again taking about 1/2 a second for every pulse... The car would tickover fine.....and reach 2500rpm exactly and then seem to cut like a switch. Couldnt find any pipes loose...so wiggled all connectors-PTU/TPS/MAF/timing thingy...lol(CAS?)....it seemed to work and I drove on... Five minutes later it did it again.... This time wiggling all connectors didnt seem to work so it must of been a fluke last tim…

Saw a white K plate Zed going into Tesco.s in Hucknall , Notts on bonfire night about 6.30pm
