just dug out 4 migs from my bits n bobs drawer - two of them say 1-0.040 on them and look new, two of them say 0.6 on them ( :shock: ) and look used! my second ever mod to my Z was JWT and jets, but being a newbie i didnt really understand what they were ( :rolleyes: ) just asked the mech to put them in! please tell me i didnt have 0.6's in! i think ive got 0.8s in at the moment. whats the 1-0.040 mean then?

I am set to introduce a hack that will incorporate into the forum a feedback similar to Ebay, do you think this will bebenificial? remember bad feedback can be left, and as long as the negative feedback is fair it may have to be accepted as left for this system to actually work correctly.

I've been hunting around for some time for anything linux based to hook a PC up to the Z in the same way ConZult / DataScan / ZTalk work, all to no avail :) So, I've bought a DataScan cable, and with some help from Jason Dear (distributor for DataScan) for the protocol specs I've decided to write one myself. I want to put a PC in my car to do nav / music / wifi mapping etc and wanted it to run linux, so I've just about got everything else ready apart from the car interface. I'll be starting work on it within the next 2 months or so and should have something vaguely usable shortly after that - I'll be releasing it under the BSD licence as well (looking at develo…

have just ordered one of the blitz sus air filter for my tt zed. was wondering what peoples thoughts on this kind of filter is? (and only paid £48 as its 6months old). cheers guys!! :dance:

Saw a grey UK spec, G reg, LWB near the Empress roundabout yesterday around about 6:45pm. Anyone on here???

Ok guys I need your help here. I currently have a jap tt with a single hks mushroom filter on it and have just bought a british tt with stock air filter. Do I go to the effort of swapping them over or do you suggest I by a new twin air filter like an apexi? Problem is there is so many different ones out there and I wanna do whats best for my zed. Cheers, GLENN ;)

Today at 9.00am on the m60 at stockport, took the turnoff for the m56. White z behind me in the red z

I know what your thinking, why does he not measure them? Its because the car is in the body shop and I forgot to ask them and I was hoping to buy some other clear side indicators that are not for a 300zx, but I need to be sure they are big enough to cover the holes. If so I am sure I could mod them to fit. Thanks

Has anyone got a set of english instuctions for an SBC.ID3 if they have would it be possible to have a copy? cheers people :confused:

Anyone know (or any traders volunteer) a good place to get an underdrive pulley from? Going to be replacing mine when I put the engine back. I've heard of problems with belts being the wrong size, etc. It's for a '92 turbo manual. Cheers.

Parked outside Chiquitos at the Venue, Cribbs Causeway on Monday evening??? (9/5/05)??? :cool:

after having the zed only 10 month of having my zed, the last 5 months have taken its toll on me. After putting up with everything from blown pipes and radiators to warped heads and gaskets and blown big end bearings the last straw has reared its ugly head after a gentle drive to guildford i was sitting in traffic, as a big lorry went passed, i saw a small plume of blue smoke. at first i thought othing of it, but after looking down at my oil pressure gauge it was reading exceptionally low for my car. i pulled over to layby only a few hundred yards down the road, stuck my head out of the window and gave the engine 3/4 revs only to about 4.5k after the 2 rev that blue …

I would like to get my car looked at with a Conzult. Is there anyone near me who can help me out? I live in East Sussex by the way. Cheers Chris

Which would be cheaper and better in the long run??? Getting my box reconned, or fitting a second hand box??? Still dont know exactly whats wrong with mine, I just want to keep my options open. And whats a good price for buying and fitting a second hand box?? Thanks again Andrew :)

Hello people, Has anyone used/seen SPLITFIRE gauges, are they any good or a bit poo. Anyone recomend any decent (not too expensive) gauges ? I'm looking for boost, coolant temp and oil pressure. Cheers Paul

Hmm...advice needed her methinks... I bought my Zed a while ago and the previous owner had had a boost upgrade done at SE Nissan. I have just put it into Redline to have an oil leak or 3 fixed and they have the poor old girl in bits. They have noticed that I need new PCV valves. The worry is that the boost upgrade was done while the PCV valves were busted so if I just have them replaced, I could potentially be running with a dangerous amount of boost as we noticed that I have a booost jet valve and my boost was detonating at 4500rpm...into the engine. So..here is the question, feel free to phone a friend or go 50:50... Q. Do I go for a new ECU as I w…

Hi guys, if any of you around my way,(camberley, fleet, farnboro,etc) see some nutter in a blue metro flashing his lights and waving its probably me as my zed is just about to be treated to some KYB shocks, and lots of adjustable goodies :dance: :dance: so feel free to wave back

Saw a black Zed, going the other way towards Weeley roundabout nr Clacton..vey cool. I was on the other side of the road in another black Zed..may have just slipped over the 70MPH very briefly...lol

Fitted an original of these the other day (God it was tight!) Anyone who has one a quick question........ do you have to remove the ducting that promotes air to the intercoolers? I ask as removing these was the only way I could get it on. Cheers

Can anyone recommend a leckie to sort out a couple of minor problems? (nearside door won't unlock on C/L, drivers elec window not working though motor mechanism and relay seem okay). If you've had the same problems, any advice gratefully received. Thanx in advance.

I decided to change my brakes because the front drivers was making a rotational scuffing noise anyway. loud! so cleaned etc and fitted ebc pads and brembo discs. Still making scuffing noise but only very quietly :cry: what seems to be the prob? any ideas please ;)

Im going to fill up at our tesco branch tonight which has the 99ron fuel :hyper: Are their any adjustments that need to be made to run this or any tweeks I can do to get a bit more oomphh from it? Ta

Whats the small radiator in front of the fan? And why is mine twice that size, in fact is so big i need to remove it to get the fan out so i can fit my BOV's :rolleyes: Its a UK car with air con. Cheers Pete!

Does anyone know if you can buy the boss that the O2 sensors screw into? Had to resort to mild violence to get out the old sensor and from what I can see I may have damaged it. :smash: Also, what size is the boss? as I will need to invest in the right size socket to remove it. Thanks
