Noticed my speedo doesnt always return to 0 when i stop, but sits at around 10mph. is this an easy fix?

ok, after some ideas for what i should do next engine wise. currently have blitz induction, blue flame exhaust, jwt chip and sgp underdrive pulley fitted, with decat pipes from dave c on the way and waiting confirmation on chris's fuel pressure regulator group buy. would i be right in thinking a boost controller would be next??? after that, 555's and safc2??? intercoolers? or new tubs? whats the best order? cheers peeps!

I know there has been a lot of talk about BOV's lately but I am a little confused as to when they should release the pressure. At what psi should the pressure be released? I fitted some this morning before breakfast which was a nice and easy job, took it out, revs were fine etc I am running about 14 psi but the bov's vent to atmosphere around 9psi. I know I can cut down the spring etc .. but my question is what is the ideal pressure that they should vent? Is it just positive boost? I don't want to damage the tubs with the air going back to them .. Compressor surge. Should I just set them to vent at a stupid psi, like 3 or 4? Can anyone let me know? …

are these any good? just running a HKS filter at the mo but i have got wolf 500 turbos a long with the zorst would it be a good next step? thanks :dance: mark

have many people got these? how much they go for? best place? thanks mark

Driving like it was stolen down the highstreet @ about 10pm on Peterborough Highstreet :hyper:

:headvswal Hi I have a late 91 TT I had a very slight misfire and hesitation witch got worse over time. After lots of money taking it to be checked out by specialists and changing the fuel pump, fuel pressure dampener, fuel pressure regulator , fuel filter i tested it with different coil packs, with no change the car suddenly started running on 5 cylinders (this happened over 4 months) then tested the injectors and found one was not working. Got a new one and after hours of fun taking off the Plenum and re fitting it the car ran fantastically for 3 weeks, then the slight misfire and very bad hesitation on acceleration came back. Cam belt has been changed new plugs cleaned…

Ive got these tiny little yellow spots (on my car) which were there when i bought the car off the previous owner a year ago, i have tried t-cut but it didnt work, anyone know a good product for getting rid of these sorts of things without getting back to bare metal :-) Rob

I have had my engine bay sprayed and since its come back there is no power at all the alarm still works but there is no ignition lights no stereo, indecators, lights and so on any ideas where the main fuse will be for this? I have checked the fuse box near the brake servo but they all seem ok :confused:

who's the white 300zx in basingstoke, near ice rink sat night. got nismo performance on sun visor... your car is sweet..

I have noticed that some of you ( well most of you) have got a picture loaded on your thread apart from the avatar. How is this done please?

Hi all, been to look at a SWB manual this morning, seems basically a good car except the gearchange, with it in gear and going along it almost felt like it was in neutral as you could wobble the gear stick about, is this just a couple of bushes or something more difficult? could be buying another Zed if this aint too big an issue, this time its BLACK

I thought i'd make the most of yesterday by fitting my american indiglo dials to my imported n/a Z. :headvswal I've followed closely the help guides which have been previously posted but ahhh well here goes.......... I've changed the R10 resistor on the back of the speedo and soldered in a 24K one (quite neatly if i do say so myself) and stuck the new dials over the face of the old ones without removing the needles. On the test drive yesterday all dials worked properly except for the speedometer which now doesnt move at all......... Oh yes and the power steering doesnt work !!!! Are the two connected?????????? Any ideas please guys???????? :confus…

Was on my way to meet T-Pot as he was on hols down here, when I spotted a white J plater parked up in Coppet Hall beach car park just outside Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire... Anyone from here? :confused:

Hi After fitting the speedo chrome dial rings, I had to re-attach a switch that was put on my cluster to operate the rear foglight (attached for SVA purposes). But as I was trying to get the order of the wires right, all my lights stopped working expect for the main beam. :headvswal The side lights, rear lights, instrument lights, front fogs, headlights all are gone. It just switches on the main beam when I turn on the headlights. I've looked at the fuses under the bonnet and they seem fine, could it be one of the relays? If so where do i get them? Is there anything else i can check? Thanks in advance. sonix

Don't know if you seen these before but as I hadn't thought I would post the link. Do lots of other stuff on the site as well. When you just respayed the zed these always let the car down. Have seen people using tape etc. Thought these would finish the job properely http://www.kurumaz.com/300zx/21.html Hope its of interest Fitzy :duffer:

seen these doors and have email the bloke, he is saying free shipping and bolt on kits, any thoughts on this :nono: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7970491966&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Looking into purchasing an Alarm with Remote start at the moment, but a few of the Alarm sellers I have spoken to mentioned that you usually have to purchase an extra Central locking motor unit (available at extra cost when purchasing alarm) with most japanese cars. Anyone know if that is correct for the zed, and why that is ?

anyone point me in the right direction to get some uprated suspension for my lady z32 :hyper:

At about 6pm. I was in the white Z in the inside lane.

been fitting unorthodox pulley today (my most adventurous mechanical attempt yet) and just managed to get the belts back on, ive got the right belts i think!! but they do all seem much tighter than the ones that were on there before but the power steering pulley is about as far right as it goes does this seem right for anyone else thats done this or is it just because they are new??
