thundersly about 9pm.. mike???????

Have just completed a cambelt change on the Z for the first time. Bought the kit from Courtesy including new tensioner, pulleys etc. I followed the tensioning instruction according to the TTnet procedure. I.e. 4mm gap on tensioner after 2 rotations. Now I assume the preload on the tensioner is correct and checked by Nissan? Is there a more precise way of checking the actual belt tension? Once reassembled the engine now seems to produce a slight whirling sound which suggest to me maybe the belt is too tight, I have eliminated all auxiliaries and fan. Car has done 100 miles since belt change. If this whirling sound is a common thing that goes away after a little runnin…

Yer, i know its most prob been asked B4, but is it possible to change the center bearing without a propper ramp, ie on 4 axle stands, and without a fly press? my bearing arrives on tue and i was thinking of booking the day off work to do it myself...wot u rekon?? :smash: crash, bas, bosh.....

Drove to the club this morning, just came of throttle (about60mpg) and the fooking thing was stuck. The passenger side bar going into the throttle body seemd to be jammed a tad, not like other side. was carefull on way home i can tell you. never mved anything ionto nutral so fast in my life. How much for anew side, dont want this happening again ever. inclosed a pic of the bit. nicked it off forum so TIA for whoevers pic it is. oh reason i know this is the culprit is its happened befor and i had it sorted but looks like a year on its back.

i have a switchable super chip fitted to my 93 jspec tt, this part was on car when i bought it but was not so long ago i found it as switch was tucked up behin glove box, have investergated since and took ecu apart to find it has a chip in it with its own circuit board with a switch coming out to switch between two levels, only markings on it say its made by "field" and the model is "boxer" can any give any info on where this comes from, i have tried everywhere?

Anybody used one and how accurate do you rate the results?? Particularly interested in G Tech Pro results on a stock car and how they compare to stock figures (esp on an NA) Also if used on another stock vehicle how do the results compare against manufacturers/magazine figures???

has any one used a 8" twin plate pref. exedy are they any good ?? cheers

Saw a Black Z in Hitchin going towards Henlow today (22/1/05). Looked like it had a funky exhaust fitted. I was waiting for a new tyre to be fitted so if you saw my car inside STS tyres congratulations: you have the eyes of a ninja eagle cyborg.

Car has been fine, last night we wired up the ApexiSAFC and found that there is a dodgy earth pin on the ECU (not the main earth but the one the SAFC goes to). We are gonna redo the connection on sunday - and everything works fine in the car. Im driving down to plymouth today in HEAVY rain, and when i give it 100% throttle it gets to about 5000 rpm and starts misfiring, in every gear. I slowed down and gave it about 50 percent throttle and it went right up to 7000rpm no problems. It might just be a coincidence with the fact we fiddled with the ECU last night, or it might be damp somewhere, but i wondered if anyone else ever had this problem ? Also, im runn…

I was fixing a dodgy injector connector today and noticed one of the belts on the underdrive pulley(?) has broken - which belt is it? (I know, it's the knackered one :p ) Also, is it more than one belt that has gone? There are two left intact on the u/d pulley, but I'm more than a bit concerned about the lack of belt in pic number two.

Does anyone know which Turbo timers can be adapted to fit inside the 300zx centre console clock position ? I've seen this done before, but cant find it now and I believe there are more than one T-Timer that will fit in the slot ? Cheers

Has anyone had any dealings with this company if so any advice, details etc would be very helpful. Better still do you know any UK firms who deal for them. Thanks

Has any one got a good pic of the rear of a RED Z with a Jap Bumper & standard lights, high level spoiler & a goose twin pipe exhaust? It has to be square on, I need to do summink in PS, tonight! Cheers :D

As above. I have a set of Harves Shim Kit, but not fitted (finding it hard to find someone to fit and setup at the same time). I know theres a few others on the market, ie Midori Style from Z1, Chris at GetGreddy does one too. Any pro's or cons on any of these other makes. Thanks Barry.

i have a toad ai606 alarm and immobiliser with razo turbo timer, i ahve to sit in the car while count down as the push button release for the key will not let me take the keys put, is there a way round this?

I am down to the last few bits before firing the beast up I have what I think is a vacume pipe that I cant see where it goes. looking at the engine in the car (passenger side) you have the two hard pipes coming from the intercooler one has a spigot in it for a vacume line going to the turbo, between the two hard pipes is two steel pipes about 6mm with two long hoses attached one goes to the spigot on the side of the plenum but I cant remember or find where the other goes :headvswal :confused: any ideas? cheers

hey guys are they parts any good or are they a load of old tosh??????? 1) i/c water misting/cooling kit! 2) lightened crank pulley! 3)is $165 good for used but working new style apexi s-afc? 4) £400 for veilside body kit! (not sure which version?) thank for any help guys, :nana2:

doing an oil change tomorrow will a 5ltr can be enough also does the zed have a sump washer usually take it to my mates garage for servicing,its easyer with his car lift but i have got to get under the car anyway tomorrow so i may as well do it myself while im at it

I'm in the process of fitting manual box and the one I have has the oil cooler, where does it plumb into or is it independant system , has anybody fitted it with their conversion Richard

i bet this has already been done, but does any one do a exchange servise for polished intake manifold. ANY INFO FROM THE GODS OF PETROL HEADS, THE Z CLUB.

hi all, i'm looking for a set of wheels that will look gud on the 300, i dont know were i can get them from and how much, any ideas and pics welcome. karl

Wheres the best place to take my Zed for a general service local to Leicester. I say local but would rather take a day off work & travel if the quality of the service done elsewhere is far better. I have no service history with the car & would like it checked over before the spring comes & it gets used more. Any adv would be greatfully received. :D
