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.

On-going issues with my headlights, I'd like to ask a question, I upgraded my main beams to a Xenon bulb, great improvement, if you put the Main beams on and with my hand cut the beam down to imitate a dip bulb, the illumination is great, much better than the HID's. so I wondered, surely an upgraded Xenon bulb on the dip would be the same.. So I buy some and install them. go for a drive on a Dark, Dark Night.. and hey presto, Rubbish!! So what's going on, is there some wiring issue happening that I don't know about that is causing this, Any 'leccy guru's please apply.... Rich

As title, what are these and where do they go? My Z doesn't currently have any arch liners, looking to refit shortly and wonder if these are part of that arrangement? Thanks.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-RUBBER-WING-SEALS-/190851632555?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6fa4cdab

I am after a few bits and wasn't sure if anyone has tried successfully to use aftermarket parts.....?? 1) Lambda sensors.... I was looking at Bosch replacement ones as they are apparently the OEM supplier.... part number 0258 986 504 2) Temp sensor for ECU - Nissan 22630-51E02 or aftermarket Intermotor 3) Temp gauge sender - Intermotor - 52540 / OEM - 25080-F3900 4) DET sensor - OEM or JECS I wanted to hear from anyone who has tried either successfully or not to use non oem sensors and get some advice....... I know some parts cause problems and Noz and others have had them fail or not function correctly so wanted to see if any of these are a…

After a bit of help really. So started the car today and took it for a spin. It's been sat for about 3 or 4 few weeks. The only thing I've done was put a new battery on it yesterday. Car drove okay, got. Back and noticed the idle seemed a bit high at around 1200 rpm. So got the computer on and the AAc was at 17% so decided to try and get it at 15%. This didnt seem to work. I then noticed the TPS was at .42v. So I've changed this to .44v so I know that's right. My problem is, now the AAC seems to have gone up to like 70% and doesn't want to change. The timing also seemed to be in the 30's and jumping around, checked it with a timing light and it lo…

As above, has anybody got contact details for Graham apart from his email address which I've tried? Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to PM him anymore, I assume because I'm no longer a subscribed member. I can see that he has been on the forum today so hopefully he will see this post himself, but if anyone has his direct contact details is there any chance you could let him know I am trying to get in touch with him. Cheers, James

Hi I've had my 300 tt for about 16 months it's has always had what I can only describe as a hot metal smell only when on boost she runs fine but starting to wonder if this is normal any advice welcome. Steve

More and more it seems to be people can't differentuate facts with opinions, equally the venom of what some make their "facts" is disgusting. This is by no means the worst but I stumbled across this and ended up reading it as you do, I came away thinking this is why I don't like a lot of people. Honestly we could do with some proper problems for these people to fixate on. The highlight was the chap who accuses his neighbour of being a drink driver on the basis that her cars loud she's young and she gets home late...mate she might work nights? http://www.govyou.co.uk/ban-loud-vehicle-exhaust-modification/

Whos got external wastegates on there car.on here. And any pics please

Hi, Cars been running fine until I gave it a drive today, I noticed that the heater wasn't as hot as it should be, car was at normal operating temp according to the dial and the fan would come on and off as normal .but when I parked up with engine off I had a look under the bonnet and saw that the radiator cap was hissing and steam coming from it. Anyone know what this could be? ive spent so much on her the last year im worried that it might be head gasket? ;(

Not too sure if this is a common problem. I haven't been using the car much lately but while its been very cold, I've noticed the inside of the front windscreen getting water/condensation/ice on it. What I want to know is whether its just the it is or if there's anything I should check. For example if the window might not be sealed properly or if there's something else that could be causing it
