I read in another thread that uprating the zorst manifold on a N/A can increase bhp, if so does anybody know which one is best, how much more bhp and where do i get one?? :duffer: :duffer: :bow:

got my Zed back after having new new hybrid turbos fitted 2day car is running sweet and everything anyway took it for a MOT and the bloke noticed some oil leaking from the passenger turbo (on the floor, there was a small patch) phoned the company up and he said it was normal for a bit of oil to be on the floor, he said it was prob just what was on the turbo, they prime them with no pipes on?? bit lost, the work is garrented so thats not a prob, any every had this before?? car failed on a blocked washer jet FFS!!!! :-( any ideas? he told me to run them in for 250 miles which i thought is not enough and get a oil change at 250 miles which …

It wasn't me.... BUT! My mate in a dark red supra saw a silver ZX (felt honoured) :bow: and the ZX slowed to have a look then was gone. If it was anyone on here he said to say HI!. :duffer:

You were heading west around 1.45 between J9 and 10 (Maidenhead to Reading) in the outside lane. I was heading east in a red ZX also in the outside lane (where else :D ) Anyone?? Richard :smw:

My 300zx tt has had a low idle speed for several months, around 600rpm. over the last week or so, this has slipped further down, it was 500rpm for a while, today it was suddenly at 300 and then it stalled. Now it won't idle at all, it will stall immediately when I don't give any pedal. I checked the cables coming out of the TPS, one of them appeared broken so I fitted a new connector. No effect on the idle speed whatsoever. I also cleaned out some green gunge from the TPS connectors, but it wasn't much. The engine runs normally when I press the accelerator, only the idle seems to have problem. I guess it has nothing to do with it, but the aircon is seize…

Does anyone know the tyre pressures using 205 55r 16's? 1995 manual, non turbo car. Thanks

Thinking of putting a carboned bonnet on the red zed when it is rebuilt, although it is ready now just need to add the final touches let me know what you think Cheers Sharonj

Just to forewarn The items for sale a pair of auto turbos description 80,000kms no end float blah blah. Funny this caus i have the same ones sat beside me as i write, bought from the same guy last week. I have spoken to him because the ones pictured are Not the ones you will get. I am not happy because one of the turbos looks great and the other looks oily possible oil seal gone on exhaust side and they dont look matched and the wastegate actuator looks badly oxidised and rusty. I am to talk to the real seller next week as the guy selling is selling for a friend (whos in amsterdam) HMMMM!! :confused: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=104…

Hi All, Just a few questions about engine flush and some of the additives I saw when I went to A1 Discount Autoparts earlier (don't know if they're a chain or not). I went in to get a few bits and bobs to enable me to change the oil (tray for catching the waste in and all that) and also some lubricant for the climate control sensor fan in the roof which occasionally starts shreeking like a banshee or something. So anyway I was completely boggled by the number of engine flushes, petrol additives, radiator additives (for blocking holes), transmission fluid additives (ditto) and the like. I'm following Simon's (oilman) advice on flushing the engine and chan…

Vented nose panel, nice big rear spoiler, blacked out rear lights. :bow: Darker than a dark thing at night, hiding behind a bush! Yet somehow shiny. :D You wouldn't have noticed me- I was in a bland blue Focus heading north. Gutless, boring piece of hire-car crap it was too... :slap: Mark [Edit: BlackMagic- just seen your avatar matey, I reckon 'twas u]

Driving past Victoria Street, high level rear spoiler, different rear lights.

When tuning your engine in what steps should everything be done??? from Filters - Drive shaft. Also including suspension and brakes, basicly everything. I really want Greddy TD06 20g's or something else just as bad boy (JWT 730bb's?? what's the best) of cause this will be over few years but i got something to roughly follow when i get to a position to get to the next level. how would i get there, including brands whats good whats not? for argument sake would Wiseco pistons be upto the job of supporting 900bhp or would Jun are they worth the extra £££. I apreciate this may be very opinion based but i just want a rough guide as i have no idea.
