New to the forum Chaps, Just bought an Import Fairlady 300ZX giving KPH on speedo. Anyone know where I can get it converted into MPH? ROYB Farnborough

Anyone know how ?

Now I've got you reading, I apologise but I'm only talking about the "others", the Brazilian ones are on a different website. :D :D I understand bushes are a consumable of the 300zx but I need some professional assistance in diagnosing whether they need replacing or not, and what ones to replace. I get a creaking and knocking noise from the offside front suspension, which is more pronounced at the beginning of a journey - ie when everything is cold. If I've been out before or been running for a while the noises are quieter. Is this indicative of a problem with the bushes? ( my car has done 66k miles). I live in Hemel Hempstead, and if there's a knowledgable ow…

Hi guys, hope one of you can shed some light on a problem with my website, made a few changes and uploaded them 2 nights ago nothing out of the normal and the changes were ok and on the site as expected, however now the site is down and whatever I try its no go.

Hi all, Just a quick question, the instructions say just to puch the Jets in the two small hose's. Do I have to clamp the jet in the pipe, so that it does not get sucked in somewhere though the hose? :confused:

When Stood in front of the car looking at the engine, left of the brake fluid resevoir attached to the engine wall is black box with a pipe coming out of and also and eletric connector going into it. What is called/do and why does it F*** the car up so much when it brakes. I need to Know what it is to order another one? Cheers :)

Wiring up my boost gauge tomorrow, anyone got some tips?

First up, thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and advice in my thread about my misfiring problem (http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=34627) I was having a look at the coil packs last night and found that the plastic connectors on two of them have snapped. Also, the plastic "heads" are missing on 2 of them. I took them off, checked the connections (which were clean) and pressed them back on. I took the car for a short run (just a couple of miles) and it did feel much better, although still idling rough. Is there any way I can secure the coil packs in place as the plastic catches which have snapped are on the engine side, not on the coil pa…

Hi, you'll probably be hearing a bit from me in the coming months but I thought it would be of interest to post this item. A word of caution – You get what you pay for! Below is an article written by John Rowland, Silkolene/Fuchs Chief R & D Chemist for 40 years. Quote: Costs of synthetics vary considerably. The most expensive are the “Ester” types originally only used in jet engines. These cost 6 to 10 times more than high quality mineral oils. The cheapest synthetics are not really synthetic at all, from a chemists point of view. These are in fact specially refined light viscosity mineral oils known as “hydrocracked”. These have some advantage…

Had my car down at Thor this week, just to see if it was running well, thanks guys. The results showed that its overfueling. The car is pretty stock, Mongoose cat back exhaust, and blitz dump valves on hard pipes. It will have a blitz induction kit on it tomorrow. What options do I have? can this be fixed without upgrades? Suggestion of upping the boost to use the extra fuel, either by mig tips, boost controller and a fuel computer (emanage, apexi) Looking into finances, any upgrades may have to wait till next year Thanks in advance. Barry.

do you think this is true http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32094&item=7907477074&rd=1

as per previous posts im losing boost - 5psi and with boost controller set high I can get to 10psi However even though I used to get 14.5psi my 10psi feels extremely quick. Pulling away in 1st, lift up clutch fully then flooring it results in wheels spinning and screeching, quick change to second and lots more mad screeching and spinning. Have I just forgotten how quick my car was as Ive only been running 5 psi.
