Is it ever worth re-locating the det sensor or should it be replaced in exactly the same place where Nissan intended?

I hear Bosch are good from costco, but don't live near one anyone know the model number, the car is an import!

well...my first post over here :) i'm fitting a EBC...i would like to put new hoses direct to the wastegate actuator...the left side was easy, but i can't find a way to reach the other wastegate...is this possible without removing the turbo? any input would be apreciated.

Red j reg on the A2 south bound i was in my lorry.

Right I have a dilemma that I need good technical modding advice with...which mod would you say is the best? As you can see this is one I might consider but not sure the scooter will increase BHP that much or enhance the handling characteristics of the Z in a suitable fashion! Also this mod looks like it has an attitude problem so could end up making my car a bit lary! Bit...on the edge. :D …

I've found a Z to look at locally, chap tells me it's an import, 90' H TT with half/half leather. No mods etc. He gave me the reg to do a few checks on and the very first one came up with this Vehicle details Manufacturer Mitsubishi Model Body type coupe Colour Silver Fuel type Petrol Date manufactured 31 December 1991 Number of previous owners 1 Last owner change 31 October 2002 Now the colour is the only thing right! Is this because the reg has been re-assigned to this import and I should not worry about it or should I run like fook away from this?

I've got the Z back from the garage and they have done all the work also fitted the boost controller but they didn't set it up. I started reading the manual yesterday and Damn that sounds complicated and sounds as if it could take a while to set up. I want to set the Hi to 13psi and the lo to what ever you recommend so could somone please post what they have set each mode to so i can copy their set up. Set Boost Gain Start Boost Warning Limiter for both hi and lo. Also when i picked the car up it was badly miss firering also kept backing off then going could this of been the boost controller not set up or the ecu being reset and having t…

I seem to be suffering a mis-fire near the spark plug by the battery (jap Version) it only appears to be this one, have had a compression test done on this and its fine, from looking at past forum threads it may be the connectors need cleaning and possibly need to replace the ptu. Although it has only recently started to happen, would an ECU test be of any use?? or as anyone else got any other ideas. Thanks Matt

Have you got some link arms? E-mail me leslie.baigent@ntlworld.com and leave me a contact number bubbles

DOH! Just went through a car wash listening to stereo and forgot it was a power aerial, it got snapped off! Before I go and buy it will the universal one from halfords fit my import 90Z32TTLWB?

Hello all, firstly i'd like to congratulate you all on a very cool website, and secondly i'd like some help or advice?! After wanting a nissan 300 for years I purchased one recently. The thing is there is a severe vibration coming through both seats, it starts about 30mph and stays up about 80mph! The vibration becomes more apparent under hard acceleration. (although my girlfriend finds it quite pleasant its driving me nuts)any ideas? do they suffer from prop shaft bearing wear? I dont think its wheel balance and all my tyres are nice and round. It's a 91 non turbo manual with 60k on the clock, Another question - i'm also replacing the existing st…

Ok who was it going to the RED LION pub? It was a purple zed with a really nice looking wing on the back. Pubs dont open at nine am though :duffer: :duffer:

Cant remember the plate or the time, think it was a uk one but cant really remember, no, it may of been an import actually, on Leicester road Nuneaton this afternoon, anyone?? :confused:

Fitted my new underdrive pulley, cam belt covers, hard pipes etc today. Just need to replace the water pipes and radiator etc tomorrow. The hard pipes came with 5 silicone tubes to replace the 5 hoses that normally go into the intake pipes. Is it ok to simply replace these? I noticed in 2 of the stock hoses there were little wire brush thingys? Also, when i refill the radiator how do i bleed it etc? Cheers Scott

my wiper blades, which i put on in the spring ( champion ) started to squeek all the time, no matter how much it was or wasnt raining. Used washer additve and screenex, no difference, just squeek bloody squeek!! So I changed the blades for New super dooper Bosch ones (£12 notes each) gauranteed to clear screen and be silent! Great for 4 days. now guess what------ squeek bloody squeek again, driving me up the wall? as I use the car most days and of course on most days its raining. Any body any ideas, other than changing the windscreen or the car?? :mad:

Hi guys, anyone know where(apart from Nissan) i can get some new upper link arms as im sure Luke does not do them anymore. Also i know you can get the adjustable ones but they are a bit pricey. cheers bubbles

Andy I understand you have abit of an engine rebuild on your hands :eek: , but was hoping you might have a chance to look at the suspension setup on my motor. When I had it lowered, I noticed that one front wheel is closer to the front of the wheelarch than the other. Obviously don't want to drive the car until its fixed :( Any chance you can help in the near future??? :D I'm working in St Annes through the week, so could limp it over here one Monday. Cheers Rich

Hi - I had my 300ZXTT for 2 years and never drove another. Eventually it blew a head gasket and had to have new head gaskets and a head reco etc. The car runs much better now and power is good - but there are two things I am unsure about: 1. The turbos now make a slight but clear whine starting about 3000rpm that was never there before - at least not audible. (I have boost jets) 2. I notice a slight amount of oil sludge in the radiator water - am I right to assume after the gasket replacement a trace of oil sludge might appear in the coolant. There is no sign of water in the oil. Its 500km since the head job. The car runs much better than ever now. Somehow t…

run my Jap Spec TT Man with JWT and 12.5psi all good. Went on rolling road and was informed that my mixture was a little rich. decided to up the boost a little more with different boost jets. Now boosts round to 15psi and then bounces between 12.5 and 15 psi. Power feels flat when this happens and can hear a hissing sound... i am sure it is a boost leak but if i hold the power at 4k car seems to stutter a little. Also tried gently bringing on the power and boosts to 15psi until about 4.5k then seems to start bouncing again between 12.5 and 15psi. ANY IDEAS PLEASE..??? Spec: JWT, Boost Jets, HKS Intake, Trust Back Boxes, DeCat, HKS BlowOffs, Manual

Hi folks, I have been looking around for a Japsports car for a while and the 300ZX is on my short list. I am due to go and view a 92J TT Auto in the next couple of days which I am told is a UK car and not an import. Is there any simple way of confirming this is so? I am particularly after a UK market car if poss as I understand insurance is cheaper and spec. is a little higher...? Can anyone advise? Apologies if this is a mundane question but the 300ZX is fairly new to me and so I want to make sure I know what I am looking at. Gareth B :confused:

Any z's out there in Cornwall or Plymouth (Devon) as i am buyin an import after crimbo and avn't seen any. Gonna b bit lonely out there by myself.

:D Alo Steve-o I couldnt stop, on me way to work, wanted to get in on time (for once!)

i have a 1993 t/t z32. I have not changed the exhaust yet due to the prone oil seals on the turbo and at the mo cant afford new turbo's!! I will get round to it soonish though when i have a spare 2k. I want to know if i can chip the car with a JWT in the mean time to improve the car even though the standard exhaust + turbo's are still on. :hyper:

Seen at 5PM Sunday turning left onto A59 & heading towards Fishergate but turned right at lights to head towards Penwortham bypass? Reg was L399 ???
