Hi all, Got a bit of a problem with the revs dropping below idle speed when slowing down - especially from 50mph+ speeds. It sometimes picks up again but often stalls (most embarrassing!). I can often avoid the problem by changing down through the box as I'm slowing down. This problem is definately worse since fitting Blitz BOVs on hardpipes. I'm pretty sure I've ruled ouut any chance of a leak. I've capped the points on the intake where the original recircs connected, capped the outlets from the recircs and connected my vacuum lines to the recirc vac lines. I've left the recirc vacuum connectors open - do these also need capping?? The BOVs seem to work ok but I…

Question.... Do you guys use the same LOW IMPEDENCE, TOP FEED injectors as us?

These are available on e-bay suggesting This is a Tuned Eprom chip from a Japanese tuner, the affects of the chip are as follows: Remapped timing and fuelling Removes top speed restriction, common 180mph top speed on standard engine and gearbox Increases Rev limit to 7300 rpm Removed Boost Cut, so you can increse boost up to 17psi if desired Fitting instructions included* This chip will give approx 75hp at 16psi boost. This chip was tuned on a rolling road facility using the appropriate programming in Japan to produce a chip that could be safely used by every Z32 300zx Twin Turbo engine 1990 - 93. Please note that …

Hope everything was ok, I wasn't driving so couldn't stop. David.

Anyone do these or 'know a man who can'? Got a black 300zx which needs a bit i think, its not too bad but little things like when you smooth your hand over the bonnet its got some roughness to it? maybe some t cut will sort that? but i doubt it.

Spoke to a nice lady about having the cam belt done at the Basingstoke tyre and MOT centre. She mentioned her son had one!!!! :D

What's the general concensus on these, are they good, bad or ugly?? And what do they cost.

Also i have whining sound from the back right this happens all the time at any speed, the vibrating isnt that bad at all just want a few ideas. im thinking rear drivers side wheel bearing ?? any help would be great thanks :D

Nice Black Zed with big alloys spotted in around Ormskirk today (forgotten where exactly). Nice lookin motor. Think its the same 1 i spotted in HIllside a while ago.

Cerina was driving back from the airport this morning. Gave it a little off the lights (well she was trying to race a 600 bandit) good girl :rofl: Changed to 2nd no probs. Foot down on clutch for 3rd and cruch it's not going in foot off pedal but pedal doesn't come back :eek:. Pulled over. Engine off. Lifted the clutch up by hand, pressed down but no pressure what so ever. Car would not go in gear. Opened the bonnet and checked for loss of fluid. Couldn't see any loss. Send a few text messages. Thanks to Andy Duff, Paul C, Jaffa, Peter(PPS) for your concerns, advice and well wishes. Clutch Pivot Ball ?, Slave or Master Cylinder ? What's the procedur…

No joke answers please :rofl:. Both Power ID and Blitz Boost Controller no longer powered up (wired into clock). No rear windscreen wiper or washers (fronts are still ok). No Electric mirrors. Everything else seems ok, i.e. indicators, stereo, windoes etc. Have I just blown a number of fuses somewhow or is there one main fuse that controls the lot ?

Hi Guys Trying to get my alloys refurb'd next week...... and don't want to leave the car resting on axle stands or jacks! Can anyone locally loan me 3 Z wheels or 3 'yellow peril' spare wheels :eek: ???? I'm based near Gatwick can collect...... Tyre condition doesn't matter as I'm not driving anywhere :) Any help much appeciated.. Thanks Martin

What can cause a lot of grey/white smoke from the exhausts? It smells a bit oily to me and it looks like a bonfire from both pipes. Is there anything I could have plumbed in wrong that could cause it? Where do I start to find the cause?

Need some advice guys. Put new exhaust backbox (standard from AndyZ) on my Jap TT on Monday, MOT when through fine on Tuesday, drove it properly on Wednesday. Some white smoke coming out the passeneger exhaust, assumed it was just condensation from the new backbox. Smoke stopped, no problems. Thursday heard a rattling sound which turned into a very loud knocking as I was finding somewhere to stop. AA out, £140 flat bed towtruck home. Running theory is that the passeneger side head gasket went, which dumped the oil out the back, as there is a little oil out the backbox... that was what the smoke was, which stopped presumably cos the cat got blocked up. Then I re…

Anyone know of any good alloy wheel sites in the UK, especially ones where you can put in make and model and brings up whats available? Only found one which is performancealloys.com from Autotrader site. Thanks Barry.

Would some good minded soul nip out and tell what size the bolts are that hold the coil packs in place, length of thread in mm, bolt size m8 ? m10 ? and how many washers are used on each one. I'd do it meself, but hey no car makes that kinda hard :( cheers smithy

hi all, just disconnected my battery to reset my ecu's. the problem im having is 1st to 2nd being a bit delayed and jerky. once i have reset the ecu's, is there any set procedure to follow to get the gearbox to re-learn itself properly. reason im asking is on my onld bmw auto, you had to follow a certain set pattern of driving to get gearbox to learn correctly. see link below, do u think this should apply to our auto's too http://membres.lycos.fr/technice31/Files/manual_0067.jpg

Saw eachother at petrol station off London Road Sat evening. :)
