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

any one heard of or got an eletric supercharger fitted to there zed, just about to buy one??

Could anyone tell me where or maybe how to get chrome finished headlights? I also need some chrome indicator lenses as well if anyone has any. Thanks.

ok, boyfriend just bought a zed, everything seems fine with it but when he started it up this morning it was whistling really loud. He took it up and down the dual carraigeway to warm it up and it seemed to stop but i was just wondering what it could be?

Was it you? i followed you in the silver one.

recently took on the chalange to repaire my zed when it started pressureising the colling sytem after spending considerable amounts on reconing the cylider heads and turbos i set on the big re-build after a long hard week my zed was ready to be turned over to prim the oil pressure up then the grand finally the start up then nothing just turning over and over so cheked for spark ok cheked for fuel pressure ok (both sides of the injector rail) removed a plug bone dry no whiff of fuel leads me to belive not injecting. not had time to look any closer but dont know whether low brake fluid/no drive belt to a/c pump or powersteering pump or low power steering fluid have a part t…

Anyone know of any in or around Ipswich???

Thinking of de catting but want to see how much difference it makes and what effect it wil have on the turbo life?????

They seem to move when pushed but i dont to force them to hard incase they break off! Does anyone know how to take these off and if not where i could purchase replacements!! Cheers, Andy

Does anyone know of anyone that supplies the pre-cut kits that replace or go over the original tweed-like material in the cockpit? Does ir replace, or go over? There is one on e-bay at the moment, but it's a wine red colour, was looking for a brighter red colour. Cheers in advance Jon

As title.........was wondering if the Z in there is anyone's from here? Might be getting some gear from them and just wondered what they were like.

Hi I have just bought a very nice 1990 Twin Turbo (import) and need some advise....... I want to service the car are there any dramas i should consider when.. 1/ Changing the plugs 2/ Oil and filter 3/ Fitting an induction kit I also want to increase the boost am i right in saying i need to upgrade the chip inside the ecu and then add a boost jet? what is the boost jet and where does it go? What sort of psi should i look to run and what sort of increase should i expect to see, can anyone recomend a good suppler for the service parts and upgrade kit, what sort of cost should i expect to pay for the induction kit? I found the engine sound under b…

Heyt guys, after takin off and putting back on my boost pipes many times, they have given up the ghost and formed mahoooosive splits in them, so i though time to upgrade to a set of mice hard pipes. At the moment Smithy's pipes are looking like the most popualr and cost effective option, but as i do with most things, i look to have a good look at all my options before i set my mind on any certain set. the only other make that i have managed to find at the moment is the HKS intercooler piping kit at £323 inc vat, which is £100 more than smith's pipes, and in all honesty i cant see them being £100 better in any way ( doing a BMW and relying on the name HKS t…

Hi chaps, I'm currently trying to decide what car to use for my next project. I know little about 300zx's but I am familiar with tuning turbo cars. Could you tell me; 1) What the hp limit of the standard fuel system is. From the FAQ's it sounds like 300's have quite small injectors which run out around the same point as the stock turbos 16-17psi. 2) If going beyond 16-17psi and changing injectors etc, which forms of engine management do you opt for. Greddy emanage, Power FC? 3) What is the hp capacity of the standard airflow meter? 4) How hard is it to work on a 300zx? E.g. in doing say a turbo change or fitting a downpipe etc? Are there any …

Just about to replace my rear shocks with KYB AGX ones. Mine's a UK car though so it has those actuators attached to the current rear shocks to stiffen them when you pull up the handbrake. Now I've already removed all the trim so I can get on and replace the shocks at the weekend, but what do I do with these actuator units? Can I just cut the wires and bin them? Currently I hear them 'click' every time I park and pull on the handbrake (I have taken them off of the top of the shocks). Cheers,

Hey everyone, this is one of my first threads, so bear with me. Im stationed in Italy and they don't have a clue what they're looking at when they look at my car. I drove it to venice the other day (approx. 100km) and towards the end of the trip, the turbos started to whisstle really loud and then it sounded like an explosion from the front of the car and immediatly i had a loss in power. The car still idled ok and the temp was ok for a while. It finally died on me, since you can't pull off to the shoulder of the Autostrada, I had to start up and drive it off. It started up fine, so i drove it off of the first exit. Then the temp skyrocketed to the H mark in wh…
