This kit is NOT for on-road use. It is intended to be a clean solution for removing the EGR system on race-built, race-tuned engines. -------------------------------- This quote above is from Concept Z performance http://www.czp.us/Cart/description.php?II=543&Car_Type=300&UID= I guess there are legal reasons that they have to put this on. But can someone tell me the down sides to removing the EGR system ?

I just took of my standard wheels and put a set of (used) 17 inch ones on. :dance: :dance: When I was tightening the nuts, the locking ones seemed to get tight-ish then not get any tighter even though I kept turning them, so I stopped as I didn’t want to damage the threads or anything. Does this sound OK or should I have kept turning them until they were hard to move, like I did with the other four regular nuts on each wheel? Cheers Tim

been having blue smoke on overrun lately, thought it was the valve stem oil seals, but had a look inside my plennum and its got some oil in the bottom pcv's i hear you all say, well they were replaced bout 500 miles ago, new hoses too, am i right in saying its not the valve stem oils seals as there would be no oil in the plennum if it was the valves as the oil would leak straight from the valves to the cylinders!! SO WHAT ELSE COULD THIS BE?? :headvswal i have been told by a mechanic who used to work on rally cars that if the engine is breathing too heavy I.E the air filters are too efficient that it can cause some oil too be drawn into the breath…

Hi. How do I clean a Blitz SUS air filter, and does it have to be oiled? Cheers.

When I picked up my Z TT it had new Michelin MXF Sport 225/50R16's.Now,2000 miles later most of the centre section of both rear tyres has worn right down.Still some rubber on the edges.The pressures are 36.I know I've had many amazing burnoffs but is this kind of wear normal? Also is there a harder wearing tyre reccomended for the Z32?

Anyone have any pics/info on fitting the as above mentioned spoiler to my tailgate. I guess 6mm holes through the outside tailgate skin then maybee larger diameter holes on the inside to access the 4 bolts to secure the spoiler. I was gonna use psychoflex (Psichoflex????spelling) as well. Any help much appreciated. Cheers John Crisp

Hi hope someone can help or give a little advice, I'm having some running problems with my VG30E i'll try and discribe them it won't really idle and wont rev with out stalling, you can however if your carefull get the rev up slowly to a point then it pulses the rpm (kind of like what a rev limiter would do) I ran the diag on the ecu and came up with these details red green 1 2 airflow meter 1 3 Cylinder head temperature sensor 2 1 Ignition Signal 2 3 Idle Switch 3 1 Air conditioner 4 1 Check fuel temperature circuit Any idea's advice is greatfull thanks

Hi Everyone, I'm needing my clutch replaced on my 1992 Jap import Zed. It is still drivable but slipping badly. :nana2: I really need someone as close to me as possible. Can anyone recommend some one in my area of Teesside/Middlesbrough. I'm wanting to get it done towards the end of this month. :bow: Thanks in advance. ;) Kind regards, Wayfarer

wheres best to run all the wires? 1) from battery to amp 2) from stereo to amp in the rear

just wanted to check something.... 1. when the car goes into safety boost it reduces boost to 7psi and retards the timing ? 2. when u fit an electronic boost controller the ecu can no longer reduce the boost if it goes into safety mode, but it still retards timing ? ...so if you have a electronic boost controller you could be running around in safety mode with retarted timing(affecting performance) and never know it without running a ECU diag ? ...also do aftermarket ECU's (such as JWT) have their own safety modes built in ?

does any1 know a good cheap place that refurb my 17s 3peice split rims:headvswal

Hi, can anyone tell me if there is an alternative to buying strosek body kit parts direct from Germany? I really need a new rear spoiler and liked the look of this, but I'm toying with the idea of going full wide arch at the same time and I understand a few of you have had strosek 'replica' arch kits fitted. I've mailed PPS for some advice, but any comments in the meantime would be helpful!

Can someone give me a photo of the fuel pressure regulator and tell me if the factory boost solenoid is dual or single? Also can someone give me a photo of the actuator wastegate as i've no idea where or what it looks like...... areid@empiredesign.co.uk

I think mine is playing up on my manual box but the one on my old auto box is almost brand new. I think they are different but can anyone confirm? I'd have a look but the old box is at my parents...

Hello All Is anyone running an HKS EIDS to try and cure the stalling / cutting problem on lift off when running vent to atmosphere bov's? It's not such a prob on mine at the moment, but my bov's are set to a very low tension - just the occassional pop on lift off. But a few members are having big problems with stalling on theirs. Did the EIDS work on yours? Any other problems caused by it? http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=2175 Cheers Derek

Does anyone have the 300zx logo (as on the rear light panel) or the font that will work on a Apple? I need to make up some vinyl stickers and can't find a font that will work or an image to redraw. :headvswal

I know that the Skyline GTR ones do, but I've had my Dad (who's in the motor trade) looking for a set of Brembos for me. He called me this morning saying that there's bloke selling a set from a Porsche 911. Will these fit, and what other modifications would I need to make for them? Also, in case this falls through for whatever reason, which other cars' brakes will fit on a Z (and be an upgrade, obviously!)?

back end ov my car is all over the place would any body know where would be the first thing to check much appriciated mot

SPC **** if i remember rightly. Silver 2+2 with deep dish 5 spokes. Single exit exhaust at either side. Very clean! Pretty sure this is the same car that was for sale in Victoria Cars in Kirkcaldy about 2 years ago. Seen it in Buckhaven after that. If its the same car, ive had a test drive in it. :cool:

dont think youre a member here are you?

Silver Z with rear wing and multi spoke alloys and tinted windows! The D1ckhead peeping and waving his arms out the window of his Rover 75 (light Blue) with his Son was me!!! You pee'd me off, as my son said that’s a nice Z Dad int it! Its almost identical to mine bar the rear wing and wheels! (My wheels are nicerer!!) LOL

over the past year ive only driven my zx tt 1k miles .In that time its had a full service ,new o2 sensors ,cambelt fitted ,after spending 3k on the car ive now noticed thick white smoke coming from the exhausts its a jap import with a bomex exhaust system the car drives fine any ideas what the problem could be cheers also the turbo boost is fine

Runnin std tubs on 15psi with jwt chip and huge exhausts..... Whats best/gives more performance...Honestly...Does it make a difference. Will an extra filter be wasted or will it increase BHP??? Bearing in mind im gettin JWT tubs as soon as these std's blow.
