Anyone else finding problems with boost in the warmer weather? Sometimes I'm getting 9psi sometimes around 6-7psi... It seems to bog down a bit on 20 -30 mph roll ons, ie. push it from this point and it wants to go but feels "restricted" for want of a better word. Then next time it'll fly! This is in the same spell of driving... Just wondered if anyone else had the same thing... Also, in an Auto, what settings do you have the box on for a sort of dual carraigeway enviroment? O/D on or off? I tend to leave the power button alone, as the power light comes on anyway if you put your foot down...

Could someone please tell me where they are (or show me a piccy) as I have rather a wobbly rear end as it were when going over speed humps and believe they are worn, and where can I get them from, how much and are they, easy to replace ? Thanx

I asks my local Nissan Dealer for a price for a New PTU unit. The car is a series IV (I'm told) November 1994. So I want the series II PTU. His reply was is that the Mitsubitshi or the Hitatchi? B*llockst if I know. Anyone out there who can help. Maybe a part No for the series II as I'm sure he's got the part numbers wrong. Though we agreed with each other as to what part it was on their Feesh.

ok gonna fit turbo timer soon - any ideas where the vacuum hose can go through the bulkhead?

I have just received my conversion kit however there were no instructions. Does anyone have the instructions or some sort of guide for me to follow please.

For no reason my wipers start at normal speed constant even when in the off position and wont stop. If I move the dial to intermittant they still stay on at normal constant speed. Then they will stop as sudden as they started and work normally again. Ive changed the relay but that made no difference. Anyone else had this problem?

Yesterday (20th), about 17:40. Didn't get a good look, but no obvious body mods! I flashed- couldn't see if you waved or not due to reflections on your windas. Mark

I am off to Oz for a year and have decided to keep my Zed for when I come home. I have arranged to have it stored on some private land but this is out in the open and would obviously prefer to have it covered, and locked up if poss. Does anyone have any such storage space like this available for renting?. TIA

Black ZX, K 300 was the reg, sounds very nice mate....

Ok, just got my car back from the car painters (pics soon!) 1) notice there is a 'gurgling' sound coming from the door area on both passenger and drivers side, only at idle. Suspect AIV valves, am I right? So what do I do, remove them? drill a hole? Can a hole be drilled while everything is still in place on the car? Is there one on each side of the car? Also, why would it be fine a week ago, and bad now only a week after the car painters had it? 2) I pulled apart the drivers side seat control because forwards wasnt working only to find ball bearing and springs and plastic parts flying everywhere, is there an easy way to get it back together? it's killing me!

Hi I Was Wondering If Anybody Had A Conzult In The Dorset (poole,bournemouth ) Areas As I Was Wondering If They Would'nt Mind Testing My Car For Me. Its Having Hesitation Problems At Low Revs Seems Like Its Missing ( I Have Given Up On The Garage Fixing It!!!)

Down to buying the last few bits now I just need to know what the best oil to put in the new engine? + the right grade. Also I am after a good set of plugs, I was running a set of NGK irradium plugs I have not got the number to hand. I was going to reuse them but when I removed them from the heads all the white ceramic had cracked and broken up :confused: The car will have the following spec if this will help JWT 530bb sport tubs, not sure on how much boost but as much as allowed :) Nismo 555's uprated intercooler Nitrous Oxide (will use as an anti lag system or running upto 100hp) cheers john D

So have a look at my ride's section if you have not seen this colour before and let me know what you think and any recommendation's to what colours that make the zed look good and stand out! i think my zed looks really dull and too dark..doesnt seem to show its curves an…

hi all, my wife uses the zed mostly for going to & from work, its about 15 miles a day in total. when i get in it at the weekend, i like to have a little play, but as soon as i floor it it chucks out a big cloud of grey smoke, it does clear and gets better each time, its done 68,000 miles and had recon tubs at about 60,000. im thinking 02 sensors or just choked up from the misses pottering around, any help or advice would be great, dont like it being driven if theres as poss problem. thanks steve

Hi everyone, my name on here used to be Rich1 but i havn't been on here for a few years cos sold the Z but for some reason i wasn't allowed to log in so re-registered. Anyway i miss my Z so now going for another, last one was a jap import 1990 300zx tt 2+2 auto, now i have decided to go for another jap import 1991 300zx non turbo 2+2 auto, what i wanna really know is there any bad things to look for on this motor before i buy? it reads 114,000 kmh on the clock and to be honest its the best one there, exterior and interior is unmarked and no worn seats or strips on the roof flakin off, under the bonnet is very clean. What you think peeps? Also wanna know wha…

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7968554372&category=33742 I don't want these as I already have another set to install, however I saw them on my travels through ebay and they looked quite good. I like the fact that they not only vent to atmosphere but you can also use them as recirculating valves as well. Just wondered what you guys think of them. They seemed quite good value @ $149.00 Chris P

Anyone know who it was? He followed me for about 30miles or so on the A55. Shaun

I've bee looking around for exhausts i like for my z and decided that i want some Hks carbon ti rear boxes now as you can imagine they are very expensive. But i was browsing Halfords today and saw some Ripspeed ones which look fairly similar and they were only £100 each. Obviously the Hks would be better build quality but what i'm worried about as they are universal and Ripspeed would they do the same job or loose power. Basicly i'm trying to save allot of cash for something that looks almost the same, so can i have your views and if it's worth doing or not.

I've got a bit of a central locking problem. Unlocking works (all 3 locks), but locking wont lock the passenger door. Any ideas? Ed

I've been running a '92 Z32 auto with no turbo boost for a couple of years, car runs fine but slow! Boost gauge moves from -14 up to zero but not into positive zone. Is there an easy way of diagnosing fault, I've been into Nissan dealership & they say replace turbo's. Could it not be an electical/hose/valve problem? Can hear the turbos spinning on acceleration. Had the car 6 years, it's a bit tired so don't want to spend a fortune. Also have no workshop manual, anybody know where you can get one other than Nissan? Finally drivers side headlight appears to be pointing at a very low angle, don't tend to drive at night so only noticed recently. Inner lense appears …

anyone know how i can make my standard exhaust less noisy? i've just pass my car at french DVLA for homologation and they say:your car make 14 Db :confused: more than nissan told us?
