Hi all :) Little problem... I drove my Zx yesterday (hot weather) on the highway (not at fullthrottle!), and afterwards, as usual i slowed down around 10km before I came to a stop, to let the turbos cool down. Well, I went to some shopping (5-10minutes away) came back and turned the engine on again. The temp-needel went very fast up to very Hot, to come down again a bit while driving again... Is this normal due to no heat evacuation while standing? or what? I'd like to check cooling water, but, no clue how to check the level of it.... thnx for advices :) cheers, bs

Right Always had Semi in my engine. (TT done approx 110,000 miles). Last oil change I put 10/50 Morris fully synthetic in. Oil change due again, struggling to get oils Been offered. Magnatec 5/30 fully synthetic. Magnatec 10/40 Semi Synthetic. Castrol RS10/60 fully synthetic (at a lot more cost). What would you gor for? Cheers

hi can anyone tell me were i can get a set of door mirror base plates (m3 mirrors) got mirrors given but no base plates for my 90 TT :confused:

...............with these fitted instead of mesh - CLICK click Anyone? And what do you reckon about stones flying in there? Or do you reckon these are intended for people with N/A's but want a 99 front?

The garage fitting my new N/A engine told me the other day that it was all fitted, and they were about to start testing it out on a few short road journey's. They phoned me after each one to tell me the probs (eg air leaks, etc) they had, and that they then fixed - the usual stuff really. Anyway, last week they finished it all and took it down to the local carriage way for a blast, and it was perfect - no probs at all (slight leaky injector - which they then resealed). The next day it developed like a fuel starvation problem. I borrowed the car back at the weekend to put some miles on it and take it to a show, and basically if you take it over 4500 rpm its starts to miss …

I know it's not the front shocks but this is the most annoying sound, and I had it on my previous Zed which went away after a few weeks, but it's just cropped up again on this one, especially in dry weather. I was told before the name of the offending joint but can't remember. Only way to describe it is when you're driving, sounds like an old pram is in you're glove box. On the outside it sounds like you're driving an old pram :o

can some one tell me where this is.. i cant see any reference to a wiper relay in the fuse box at the front passenger side of my jap zx. i need to find it to test it.. anyone??

Can anyone help please? I've got the rad out and the adjustment mechanism off the front of the pump. I've also removed the pully and the bolt behind it but the pump won't budge! Is it held in with magic? It doesn't even move!! Thanks guys. NB is there a source of info on PAS system on the Z? I've searched threads back as far as 2003 and everytime someone asks about PAS system everything seems to go quiet!

The fan is always on on my car guys, I take it that this isn't normal? Is there just a switch somewhere that's probably gone? Cheers.

Anyone know how this is done? Seemed not very straightforward and i cant find any posts? I saw the motor screws is it that simple?

Hi guy's. My Zed has been suffering recently with not so much as a missfire but it's like the engine is constantly being throttled off and back on when i'm on a constant throttle. I've replaced the injector, coil pack and water temp sensor connectors, tried a working maf, set the tps and still it does it. A few days ago we cleaned up the AAC? connector. it's the yellow one at the rear of the passenger side plenum. After this it was ok for the 10 or so mile blast we did in her but the day after it was back to the same? It's a UK car so it couldn't be too much of a bad batch of BP Ultimate fuel to cause this. Cant hear any det. Just pops and bangs. If I hold the clutch…

ok folks, i hope someone can shed a bit of light on this for me, i came off a roundabout with a gtir (sunny) on my rear bumper, so as i oppend the throtle in second, all was well starting to pull away, then i hit 6000rpm and had total loss of power, sunny pulls back up, into third, same again 6000rpm total loss of power, this happend in every gear :headvswal . i have a few mods done, ecu chiped, full s/s exhaust, hks air intake, a super afr, and boost jets. also i'm only getting 9psi. please help!!!

i have just got the other set of alloys for my fairlady. The last owner kept his word and dropped them off to me. They seem to be in very good condition, i just have to clean them up, im just wondering what they are worth as they are of no use to me, due to the car having a brand new set of alloys and tyres when i got it. if they are of interest to anyone here let me know. im going to be buying some stuff from smithy shortly so i would like to sell these to pay for more goodies!!

as title, anybody on here do em??

still looking for the inlet size for my new back boxes, (ie 2.25 / 2.5 / or 3in) any help please :confused:

Im looking at the following and getting confused. http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/tech/blitz/blitz.htm Am i right in assuming you take the hose your boost jets goes into, split it and conect to the 2 fittings on the solinoid (linkind the R and L hoses up first) ? Is it that simple or am i just that simple? I know setting it up is gonna be fun but it seems straight forward.
