How can you test once you have bouht a pair of new turbos, that yhe actuators are set to the correct pound per square inch.psi. The reason fir me asking is i read an artical not so long ago, and they found on fitting checking new turbos prior to fitting. One was set at 5psi And the other one was at 9 psi. Need to check before install me thinks. And anyone who wants to come back with the reply. Dont buy cheap shiet. These write up was accross the board.

My import has a km to miles converter box fitted which sorts out the instruments, but I'm left with the power steering being really light. As its a series 4 I can't fit UK clocks because all the connectors are different, but I've had an idea and wondered if anybody could tell me if it'll work! The speedo converter was fitted before I got the car so I don't know how it's connected, but I assume there is a connector from it going to the speedo and to the ECU, to sort out the clocks and the speed limiter respectively. If I disconnect the converted output to the ECU and reconnect the original Km/h signal will that sort out the steering? I realise that would put the speed…

Evening all, I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to find an ac compressor idler pulley , as I believe mine has a worn bearing causing it to chew up my belt a tad Alex.

Hi I'm new to the forums and in the market for my first 300zx. I've come across one on Gumtree which I'm quite interested in (I can't stand the front bumper, but they rest of the specifications look very enticing): http://www.gumtree.com/p/nissan/nissan-300-zx-twin-turbo-veilside-/1092481147 I've been speaking to the seller, and I was asking him what modifications I need to list for getting an insurance quote. He then proceeded to tell me that it was a Veilside made 300zx and therefore I wouldn't need to list any of the modifications. From a quick google of Veilside 300zx, and this doesn't look anyway near as meticulously tuned as those. Is this …

passenger fog light bulb stopped working for some reason, got a new bulb and went to fit, the new bulb doesn't work... tried 2 new bulbs and checked the fuse which is fine, they both didn't work which makes me think its wiring related :( any one help?

So I'm finally going to start work on getting the zed back on the road, I've decided the best way to tackle the mystery problem I have is to just pull the engine and rebuild it. I'm not seeking big power, I was hoping with a remap from Noz 400BHP. Should be more than enough. As it happens I'm going to New York sometime in the near future so was hoping to take advantage of that and buy some bits from Z1 and then bring them back in my case, avoiding postage and customs costs. (already spoke to the hotel and to Z1, both parties don't see a problem with this) I've made a quick wishlist but I could be missing something, what do you think? Also I'm not…

Alright guys and gals. Finally got a z32. 1991. Twin turbo manual. Very happy. It does however look a bit tired on the paint but nothing I can't sort there. Done 90000. Mechanically it's great. No smoke. Boost needle where it should be. Sounds great. New timing belt. Very happy. However. What are the tell tail signs the clutch is going? Pictures later date as I don't know how to put them on as I am on my phone aha

looking to fit two of these to my car, what thread and size are the screw in sensors ? and where in the exhaust am I best advised to position them. Thanks Sayers

I'm just wondering what you all think of these. I think It looks like it's quite good. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Definition-Inspection-Camera-Wifi-Endoscope-1M-Cable-Android-8-5mm-6-LED-/191474694579?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255

FINALLY after all these years - Found a service manual for sale on fleabay and bought it. Been looking for one at a decent price for years and although it looks quite worn etc, I got it for £12.01 (plus delivery taking it to £20).

Rihht on my last car.to get the max air into my car i bouhht yhe biggest dan k and n air filtet yhat would poss fit behind my intercooler.a front mount. Now in thinking insted of spending another eigjt hundred pounds on two maffs and aload of electrical stuff to wire up two maffs.can i just use the existing maff and split the pipe into two like how it comes behind the maff and run two seprate air filters further down into cleaner air on both sides..would be nice just to do away with maff altogether. But i bet theres more t…

The entry thread for January's COTM competition is now open in. Get your entries in!!

Well new year, new plans, With my green na having passed it's mot and the tyre replaced after its blowout, i've decided to turn my attention to my swb, and just keep playing with the green one, to cut a long story short, my mate are supra guys and I've inadvertently started a bit of a competition between my 300 and their Toyota, I know roughly what I'm doing but not tunned anything to this level before, so assuming I'm a complete novice what would I need to achieve 550-600 bhp? As that's what I'll need to be competitive. I don't want to build it to destruction and there's no deadline, so it want to do it properly. Here's my current thoughts Gt675 …

Quick question ... Will an 18" 10j et25 fit the rear without arch work ?

So decided I would do a boost leak check today. The tools I was using are below: 1 vac/boost leak plug 1 piece of blue tubing as I have loads sitting about in the shed and its great for hearing small leaks. 1 halfrauds tyre pressure inflator thingy Sadly, I didn't seem to be able to get any pressure in the system, nor was I able to find any leaks. Thought maybe the tyre blower upper may just not be giving enough air. So, I decided to get the smoke matches out of the boot and try again. At first, I can't see it coming out from anywhere, but then sure enough, it showed itself. Sadly it's coming from down near the drivers side turbo and I can't actua…

Hello. I cant sell on here but not sure where the best place to put this. Mods, please move or delete as you see fit. Doing a bit of tidying up and found a grounding kit I bought on here years ago. Never opened or fiited, think they were about £40 at the time. I dont think I'll have another Zed so no use to me. Seems a waste to throw it away so thought id see if anybody wanted it. Im in Solihull. Got a load of other zed bits if anybody is interested. Mirrors, rads off the top of my head, probably loads of other bits too.
