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

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

Hi. Totally new to all this so looking for a bit of help. Very intrested in purchasing one of these Jap super cars but can't really deside if I should go for the Nissan Twin Turbo ( unmolested) or the Mit 3000 GTO :confused: What say you!

Hi All... Just had a new cobra alarm fitted this week, and am now thinking of a Greddy turbo timer and harness... But will the immobiliser cut the engine after I have removed the key from the ignition and locked it and walked away? Cos it uses fuel and ignition cuts, and it auto arms anyway after about a minute with the key out.

How much prep work is involved in fitting the standard replacement boot spoiler from the Zcentre? Is it just a case of spraying it and sticking it on or is there more to it? I can't be arsed at the moment with too much filling and messing around trying to get it on.

Does anyone know if a Zorst on a 90-H uk TT Will fit a 92 uk TT as Duncan is selling his as he just got MAXSUNNYs ? Don't want to go all the way to Lincoln if it aint goin to fit. :dance:

I think someone was selling these on ebay a while ago - but does anyone know where i can get the kit ? I did put an ad in the wanted section, but got no reply ! Thanks for any help - Mike :hurl:

Hi Pop-pickers, Asked for some advice the other day on the resolution of a camber angle problem on my 300. And was kindly replied to by Legarth and Gio as to a few options. One from Z Centre and the other from Courtesy in the US. Just wondering if anyone has used these parts and could give me some sort of recommendation, or not as the case may be on how well they have performed once fitted? Cheers.

Guys, last question of the day! Ok....now my turbs are on 124k now and wanted to decat originally but due to the risk of turb seals going due to the change in back pressure i havent done so. Anyway....soon i'll be doing the rear boxes and centres and only found out today that there is a secondary cat just behind the drivers seat (so i was told).....do you think if i got that removed but left the primary one in i would still run the risk of the seals goin? Best just to do the centres/bboxes? Cheers, Dan :cool:

Hi guys, I was originally gonna strip out the boxes and get an Apexi induction cone fitted as heard that was the best one to get. Question tho.....my Dad has a scooby and used to run a blitz induction cone, but due to a sensor in the airline getting dirty because of the cone letting in more sh@t than it should of, this caused idling probs. Wondering, does the ZX have a sensor in the air intake line somewhere and has anyone ever heard of fitting a cone induction causing a problem with the Z? Cheers. Dan :cool:

Hi guys, Considering getting this disconnected and just wondered the best way to go about it. I see get greddy have a hicas locking bar, anyone fitted this or know of the best solution? Cheers, Dan :cool:

Hi Guys Finally got round to doing the FAQ I promised a few of you. I have only done the front seats but at least it is a start. For the time being it can be found here: http://www.websure.co.uk/car/300zxretrim.htm Cheers Martin

Hiya guys, thinking of going for the striped out racer look in my car. so i would be selling my two front seats but not the backs as i would keep them for when i come to sell the car. The two front seats are black leather in good condition with out any ripes or tears. Here's the best part they are both electric. so any ideas on a price or if any one would be intressed in buying them ??? i wouldnt be looking to sell them for about 4-6 weeks untill i can aford my new seats. any info from all you petrol heads would great thanks guys.

Had my car parked up for 2 weeks with the battery dis-connected. Went out last night and it was rough as old nails. a. She went into Saftey boost first time i booted up the turbo's b. Put he in Sport mode and she redlined in 1st and would not change to 2nd till i took my foot off the gas. c. Engine tapping noise so loud i thought there was something under my hood with a hammer. I know when you the ecu is reset it take some time get back to running how it was, but are these normal symptoms?

Curious to see how strong the Darkside really is.... JOKES! No, I'm just curious to see what the ratio is... Red, Black, White, Blue, Silver, Yellow or Other.. :hyper:

Has anyone on here tried setting up a xbox to run through a network card on the pc to access the internet? Now i have bt broadband, I have tried setting it up automatically but it doesn't work and i have also tried setting it up manually but i am unclear as to what ip addresses, dns address and gateway addresses etc to use. On the LAN status it says it is sending packets to the xbox but not recieving anything back. So far it is connected fine, sees the xbox and is sending stuff to the xbox. It just can't recieve anything back. :headvswal Thanks, Stu.

I heard a rumour that there was some weights in the tailgate to counter balance the wiper motor or something? Has anyone removed these? If so where are they mounted (obviously behind the plastic trims). Does anyone also have any pics of these? Ivan

Is there any previous threads on the above, I have looked in the FAQ many thanks Allan
