Hi, On the Boost guage on the dash, I only seem to get 3/4 of the boost when I boot it. Should this go all the way to the end (+14). If so, is there any way I can improve it, or check to get it up to par. Jeff tested the pressure in the system a while back and it's ok. No noise from the tubs either?!?

I sold my z 6 moths ago to paul Fwx and to cut a very long story short he only paid me for half of the car.. and trashed it for 6 months!..

Doing lots of work on the Z over the coming months, was planning to do as much body work as i can then have the body shop do the spraying. Anyone know how hard it would be to fit the Viper Wings?

I was driving my 300 auto over the weekend,and noticed when the tubs kicked in there was too long a delay before the second turbo kicked in, Im ashamed to say its been like it a while. So last night whilst in bed i thought about the car instead of sheep (as you do) and it suddenly came to me f***ing transmission fluid :smash: anyway topped it up today. Made a huge difference,am i lucky or could i have caused damage? the car drives and changes gear much faster and the delay i was having is no longer there it has always changed smoothly and still does.

Hi guys, Im gonna attempt to fit the audio equipment that ive got from my last coupe, and I was just wondering where the gromet is to run the power cable from the battery to the boot? Cheers Steve

can some body tell me the part numbers for both o/s and n/s lambda sensors (o2 sensor, oxygen sensor blah blah) for a uk tt thank you :)

what sort of components would fit in the nissan? 6inch? thanks

did a search but i didnt find a definitive thread on how to and what to do. any info would be great. i want to bleed the clutch fluid as i think there may be an airlock in there. also i want to change the gearbox oil as i have noticed my gearstick gets quite warm after a good drive. its a big ass metal one. i have been told that , when it gets warm or hot its a good sign that the oil is at the end of its life and is a good idea to replace it. also my gearbox is quite clunky, very no grinding or noize but just very mechanical in the way it feels. prehaps its just me as usual!!. but it the clutch and gearbox something i can do comfortably? than…

As above.

I'm going to have the car resprayed soon but I am considering removing the insulation from the underside of the bonnet. Is this purely there for sound insulation or am I risking allowing more heat to possibly damage the new paint?

Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me where I can get replacement rose jointed tension rods as I managed to snap the drivers side one the other day. Also has anyone else suffered a similar failure with there's. Basically I came round a blind corner doing about 50 to find a line of standing traffic with the last car reversing backwards. Anyway slammed the anchors on reasonably hard to pull up, all going fine then an almighty bang and the car pulled hard to the right. Managed to stop ok without hitting anyone and pulled up to investigate what the noise was to find the arm snapped in 2 and a small amount of bodywork damage where the wheel had come back and hit the arch liner…

I've tryied to fix mine yesterday but I don't have any notice with it!!! I've 3 wire on my gauge: - 1 Green - 1 White - 1 Black I've read the "how to" and it says to connect the AFR to the white cable on the O2 Sensor. That what I did and also I've connected the white and black to the +12V. My AFR is on but the signal stay green (between rich and lean) all the time. On my previous car, I fixed it and when I was accelerating, It's was red (rich) and when I release the accelerator, it become lean. But here, it's stay the same (green) at all time!! Sorry if you don't understand my english Thank you for your help Bubuche

Hi, I'm looking at buying a new exhaust (cat back). I'd like something with a nice rumble that sounds sporty, but not mega loud. People have recommended the mongoose, but some say its not much different from the standard which I have at the mo. Any advice would be welcome..

On my zed, the rear spoiler is been removed and fascia panel/high level brake light has been fitted. Now the strip of bulbs running along the brake light, these are just 6 or so side light bulbs aren't they? Anyone removed them all and replaced them all with high power LEDs? What spec ones did you fit? Ta

Where can i get some from? How much should they be? Thanks

Driving down Sevenoaks way towards the crittals corner roundabout, a Grey Zed??

Yeah, following on from my previous thread and all the nice suggestions, I've got myself a new battery and the only thing it solved was that my wipers dont turn itself on anymore when I turn on the ignition! Aint got a clue why it wont start but it doesnt make any nice noises so I've recorded the sound and recorded the dash lights! So please do tell me what's up! Otherwise I'm gonna need a mobile mech to turn up and help fix my problem. Recording1.wav VIDEO_00001.avi
