Hello, I have just purchased a 300zx twin turbo auto 1991. It drives lovely and sounds amazing, however, when I fully open the throtle it seems like it is hitting a limiter at around 6000rpm and it does not change gear straight away. Has anybody had this problem and does anyone has any iodeas of what it could be? I have disconected the battery to see if I could reset the ECU, thinking that it could be something to do with the memory, but that hasn't worked.

Just wondering what everyones opinions are? Now going down the route of getting better cooling upgrades, upgrading hoses and pipes etc, but am unsure as to what to go for...Front mounted intercooler(any brands reccommended?) or twin (again brands reccommended)? Thanks guys... :)

Forum.......... Can anyone help me with pics of an autobox oil-cooler upgrade as my car will be having this done soon. I found one how-to but it has no pics Thanks

Hi Forum, Thanks for the recent advice re: my 92 JDM TT auto. Due to my long journey's 300+ miles 90-100mph (german autobahns of course) and the posts from the forum my car is now booked in for an autobox oil cooler upgrade while I get my EBC sport disc upgrade done. As I was talking to my mechanic he asked me if I wanted cooler iridium plugs fitted as I am also getting a full main service done (minus belts - they were done last month when water pump gave up - RIP). Transmission oil will be replaced, diff oil too. Given my cars spec are the colder plugs a good idea, what will they do? Will they make Detonation less likely? allow the car to run cooler? Spec:…

Bought in February 2004, attempted to fit today whilst instrument cluster was out and besides a flaw in the carbon it's been cut wrong :mad:. The problem is where the indicator lights are the hole is off center about 3mm higher therefore chopping half the lights out at the bottom. Anyone know where I can get one from (besides ebay.com) Cheers

Hello fellow Z enthusiasts. Ive got a very annoying problem with my 300ZX TT automatic,since I had a replacement auto box fitted (could be coincidental), from cold and until the engine has really warmed up-a couple of miles maybe, the engine revs fluctuate between probably 900rpm to 1500rpm when idling at a junction or traffic lights for instance.Once warmed up the problem dissapears.The car has an Apexi induction and the filter has been cleaned thoroughly.Could this be a problem with a sensor?any help from other members will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for your time GaiJin

Non turbo Auto Z have problem with gearlever not moving without lifting rear emergency pin, usually dab on brakes will do this automatically but there has been a failure somewhere, maybe a switch or a fuse. First question where exactly is the switch that controls the gear lever interlock and secondly can I short any wiring to disengage this function as at the moment I dont have a lot of time to crawl around fixing my car. thanks mick

Hi guys, got a nice new 300zx Jap import. Its an amazing car but this weird bing bong noise comes on just after 100KPH and its a bit annoying. Is there an easy way to stop this coming on? I plan to fit a converter chip to it so it reads in MPH so maybe this will solve it? I did try a search, but the links to places that tell you anything were dead so would apreciate anyones advice. Cheers :)

Is there an online Hayes Manual for 1991 300ZX anywhere please? Also, I need to change my brake pads - can you tell me the best place to get these from quickly please. Thanks :-)

hi everyone how are the heated seats wired up on the z ? is it just a case of +/- feed or is it relayed in some way.. cheers gaz

as above seen my girlfriends seen you about a few times (got her well trained)

WHEN I drive and i put my foot down in full load the revs normally go higher than they shud, they go all the way to 6 then back. is this the reason why its not as fast as it shud be? could it be the gearbox or the clutch.

has anyone had to retrim their seats before? If so, what sort of costs were involved?
