when people refer to a worn turbo seal - is it the bit that sits inside the main turbo that the fluid bearings sit in that hold the turbine shaft? or is it a seal somewhere else :)

Anyone know of any history on this car, went to see it to day nice looking car although has got a few marks on the paintwork, seems to have no oil pressure one minute then it rises rapidly then go back down and doesnt move at all think it might be the gauge?? It tends to run hot although when the fan cuts in it does go down, also when you put your foot down it goes well but not as well as mine as mine tends to kick down twice and fly,now may be it is mine that is not right or maybe it is the silver ones, any information on this car would be useful cheers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18290&item=4527356896&rd=1&tc=photo

Hi Can anyone advise an understanding car insurance company. i am looking at increasing the power of my Z to around 400BHP. boost controller de-cat, intercoolers, Z centre body kit. But many insurance companies do not want to know. who do you guys use, or explain to insurance. I have found that if you give them every detail, they do not want to know. concern if i dont give them all the details may not be covered. i tried Elephant.co.uk they came back with £600. Has anyone used livingstones from the Z mag?

If you does anyone have the old cloth covers that i can use as a template for some custom covers? Cheers, Mathew

Looking into fitting one of these on the wifes 200sx to stop it smoking (turbo seal on way out). Would it benefit fitting one to the zed? Apparantly (Cusco states) - You can boost up another 3psi extra without risk of detonation?!? Are there any benefits from fitting them apart from to stop smoke? Cheers

Hello everyone... This might be a bit of a silly question, but can somebody please explain the different models of the 300zx!? :confused: In my searches through autotrader, etc. I have come across the following descriptions and I must admit I am slightly lost as to what the differences are. NISSAN 300 ZX Fairlady Sports NISSAN 300 ZX Twin Turbo NISSAN 300 ZX 3.0 V6 Targa NISSAN 300 ZX T BAR NISSAN 300 ZX 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo I just thought you chose twin turbo or naturally aspirated. All advice is appreciated! Cheers.

Would fitting a BOV change the turbo vacuum pressure? Mine used to be miles to the left, but today i noticed it was only on the first line to the left of 0. is this normal or is there a problem?

Hi All, Some gormless BAST**D has managed to nudge my drivers door in a car park ,not damaged paint but cant live with the 2 small dents.Has anyone ever had any experience with these paintless dent removal companies?Cheers

any one got any idea why a zed would dump loads of water out the expansion tank , then temp guage right up , then after she cooled down a bit and refilled with water , she runs fine again ?? has happened twice in 6 months but no pipes leaking and as soon as refilled ,temp guage goes back to norm and she runs as sweet as ever !! ???? im very confused

Hi fellas Anyone using one of these yet, just want to find out how laggy they are. Opinions welcome. AdeF

Saw a white ZX heading north on M40 this afternoon near the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border around 2 o'clock. Anyone here? :smw:

is it possible to sell a car w/o mot?

Red 2+2, bit of bling (could be UK), didn't get much spec, was heading for the beach at the time :D, anyone on here?

I'm taking the box off to look at a clutch problem and I've heard you can get an uprated fork. Where from and how much? Can't see any about. Might even be the fork that's snapped - haven't got underneath for a look yet.

On standard internal's what options would i have for turbo upgrade. TD04/05s seem popular but what about hks apex'i or blitz?

Can anyone give me some advice on my gearbox problem. 94 Jap TT auto, does not change up from D2 to D3. D1 and D2 appears to be working fine. The electronic diagnosis check give an all clear signal. I think its a sticking soleniod valve, but not sure how to check. :shock:
