OK ladeez'n'gennelmen I did my research and conscientiously used the searchy thing to try to find which plug is best for a Japanese TT over here. At last, I find the guru's site which say NGK PFR6B-11B is right and -11C is probably OK. In a pm, the guru himself said -11C is better for UK fuel and will be better than the -11B. :confused: :confused: NGK's site says -11C and Courtesy's says -11B (but of course that is for US fuel so maybe -11C is right after all.) Heeeelep - which one? -11B or -11C?

Most sources of these make you buy 2 packs of 4. I just found that Concept Z in Arizona http://www.czp.us will happily sell you a set of 6 because (and I quote) "we don't see why you should have to buy 2 connectors you don't need." Blimey. And for only $84 (+ tax / shipping). What jolly nice American chappies. :D

Well got my car back. Now running 2 T28 BB but can't get boost over 11psi. I think it maybe down to the two BOVs being set to open at 10-11? If they came off a standard car, would they not be set to 10 if running 9 psi? They are HKS but down know how to adjust? Any help or advise? Cheers

wots this biling every1 keeps talking about on here im intregued!!!! :confused:

Ive got a 300zx tt auto import and have had it for around 5 months. after a month the speedo started to play up, it would would stop and start again and also effects the power steering (not good when going hard in2 a corner) but recently its been gettin worse, ive checked the connectors a few times. Theres a little black box behind the speedo which i think maybe the delimiter, could it be this which maybe causing the probs or maybe the clocks themselfs? Ive got a feeling its a loose wire but cant seem to find it. Its abit of a nitemare esp with all the rozzers around and there bloody cameras. Thanks Hanksy

when i get to 105 kmh and over i get a warning sound (sound similar to the alarm when you leave the lights on), does anyone know what it is?? and why it does it??, no warning light comes on, it`s just anoying not knowing what it is, hope it`s not serious :bow: anyone??

OK boys and girls, there have been a lot of posts about BOVs recently and at least two threads laughing at the the electronic "sound-only" pt-schhhh noise makers. Here is a very reasoned analysis of what BOVs do, and why Re-circs are better and how to install them. http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnetfaq/FAQpages/bov.html This applies, according to the author, up to about (guess) 600hp. Serious tuners have the experience / knowledge to judge exactly when is right to use BOVs for their engine instead of recircs. Otherwise, recirc + noisemaker is a better / more reliable / cheaper mod than BOVs. If you want the noise. According to this lot. Discuss :D (If you …

Has anyone ever got their T timers working with their alarms? The guy i bought my car off gave me this turbo timer (not connected) and id like to hook it up, i have no clue and have been looking at the posts and can imagine its a bit off ball ache trying to get them workin together? Any ideas or experiences that may help? Rob

Please can you lot give me some advice on buying a nissan 300zx, which do you think is better the turbo or non turbo, what things should I look for before I buy the car, do they have anything that seems to go wrong with them that I should check for, someone told me the injectors and the power transistor can play up but I would really like some more info on things to look for, also is there a lot of difference in power with the twin turbo, the non is about 240bhp and with the turbo its 280, or am I wrong??? Thanks for all your help Clive :confused:

im not greatly mechanically minded hope someone can help me out. on my way home i noticed it wouldnt go into boost,(just dipped down as if no fuel) i presume this is the safety boost. i then noticed the temp go into the red i got home noticed it was leaking water. took the center panel off to see where it was coming from. found a big lump of polestirene jammed between the fan and the rad now how the hell did this get there,because the front scoop is coverd with mesh (veilside c2 type front ). cant see no water from front of rad. need to get car off ground to find out where leak is hope its not serious can anyone help ? :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hi all, Have just been looking at the timing belt service kit on the coutesy site. http://www.courtesyparts.com/z32/z32-tbkita1.html Have noticed the cam bely tensioner makes up a huge amount of the overall cost. Is it really vital to replace this? Also I have noticed that they offer a couple of other pulleys as an option. I will be adding an underdrive pulley anyway but any opinions on the other pulleys they are selling? Many thanks, Justin.

Was driving around today and started to get a clunking noise from the passenger side suspention. Jacked up the car and found that an arm with a joint on it looked like it was broken. Here are some pics to help, can anyone tell me the name of these parts and where to get them and how much of a sod they are going to be to replace, will be doing both sides. Many thanks.

Anyone know if these will fit a Z, and what standard size flavours there are?

Sorry about this, but could someone move this to the 'For Sale' section for me please? Thanks Anyway... For Sale - 1994 300ZX TT Auto Import, dark metallic blue paint, black leather interior, recent cam belt service, can arrange for regular service before sale. MOT until May 05, 84000 miles. All the usual (T Top, all electrics etc). Has a Cat 1 alarm & a Tracker. It also hast two huge fat oval stainless steel exhausts which I got in 2002. Was thinking somewhere in the region of £6750 ono. Right, here's what's wrong with it: the leather in the front is a little cracked, and the drivers lumbar support is scuffed, and the fog light at the back is slightly…

I dont think my auto box oil pan has a plug to undo to drain the fluid, short of undoing about 18 bolts I was thinking of flushing it by using the pipes that feed the oil cooler and fitting a tap to let me run the engine and flush new into it while letting the old drain out.....Does it sound feasible or is it likely to be to difficult to juggle the new oil into the system before it all drain out! Any comments appreciated.

Not sure if any of the traders do them? MJP maybe? Or direct to Nissan? We all know these clog up and cause a bad/low reading, I would just be happier to get a new one in! Is it buy a new one or clean old? Any kind person have a part number?

anyone know a good place to get some BOV's and the fitting kit, Not looking to pay too much.

i have a 85 300zx na and the parker lights turn on by themselves. the dash also flashes off then beck on when i use the blinkers. are these problems related and does anyone know how easy/hard it is too fix. thanks bobchic

I bought a Z this summer. (95 2 seaters N/A) :D some problems occur at relatively high speed 120km/h, lol, (especially when accelerate) the car start vibrating. I think its the propeller shaft, but im not sure... can it be something else? cause i dont want to buy a whole new propeller shaft assembly, to figure out it was something else... i hope u understand what i just wrote, my english sux, i know. merci d'avance
