Grey H reg Down Southend late yest afternoon, I was in the G reg grey one, I did wave :D Hanksy

Seen a white zed REG, RIB **** on the back of a recovery truck parked at the side of the m25, where a lorry had crashed into the hedge. Not sure if the zed was involved but i hope nobody was hurt it look quite bad :eek:

Just went round all the coil packs, injector connector connectors and PTU and found the usual green corrosion. Wacked a load of halfords contact cleaner over them, and it just wont shift it. Have scraped some of it off with a small screwdriver. Anyone reccommend a good contact cleaner that will actually dissolve this green crap? Also when I put all the connectors back, it runs worse. Have been round twice and re-seated and checked everything and still the same. ECU check code 55 all OK, so may re-set it and see if that helps.

Need some help Trying to fit smith's vac hoses and got loads left, anybody done this already that can give me a hand?? There's a :duffer: for anyone who can Cheers Neil

Anyone know what would make a zed smoke on over run again? valve stem seals have been done, turbos changed and so have the pcv valves etc. It was fine for a while, first i noted a loss of power, now it smokes on overrun after booting it :( also it does not quite hit full boost. Cheers people

when they give a ratio of say 8:1 8 of what to one of what ?

Replaced my fuel pump/exhausts and tried my first tank of optimax the other week, Car started to smoke a little when I give it some accelleration (bugger, should of done them 1 at a time so I could work out what caused it). The zorsts are standard mongoose ones which have given a noticeable gain along with the fuel pump and then I did the optimax thing a few days later. This did not start straight away and would only do it when hot so I immediately tought PCV valves which I have on order from mike feeney. (or was it my turbo seals?....not according to the decat survey thing...thank ferk (I havent de catted as mines not going to pass an MOT without em as is a late 92))…

My mate has now not got internet and asked me to post this. His zed when warm is running 145 on compression test on all cylinders bar one. One of them reads 120. Hes put oil down to prove piston rings are worn but he wants to know how serious a reading of 120 is? Thanks

Hiya people, Right zed is running fine, but it feels slow. Boost takes a little while to reach full stock boost. and dont really pull that hard. any ideas what to check?

Anyone know of a place that sells after market steering wheels ? loads about - but none seem to advertise a 300zx boss !! Its for an NA so HICAS aint a problemo ! Thanks for any help

Silver zed fast lane going eastbound between J8/9 and 10 around 10:45 Me going towards Maidenhead flashed me lights :cool:

Hi, Just joined the site yesterday and have spent far to much work time clicking through the wealth of info. I am looking to purchase a UK Z shortly and just wanted to know how you identify a series 1/2 etc and what the differencies are between them. Also is there a way of telling the year of manufacture of the car from chassis number etc. I noticed this info on another site but it only apparently applied to Jap cars. Great site - hopefully have my own Zed soon to get properly involved. Phil

hi have just bought myself a black tt t-top long wheelbase 300 and am wondering what steps i should tune the car up in do i get exhaust filter and boost upgrade first or is it more compplexed then that?? ie will i need fuel cut defender or shall i just get some big injectors fuel pump and fuel controller ??

White Z on A118 about 10pm, I was coming back from Stu's

I just got some T28's off a Skyline and am very anxious to put them on my z32. I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can get all the thing I will need to adapt them to my z and what they are. Thanks for the help. Jimmy

Dunno the name of the road but spotted you not too far away from the race course, was going the opposite way in a maroon Jag XK8 and continured to stare at you! Your car looked standard but standard Zed`s are a thing of beauty! anyone on here? Dan.
