Deos anyone know where i can get my injectors checked and re-balanced?

Just built my new bass bin today using chipboard and bits from my old bass bin. All nice and covered- looks the part, just a little smaller to fit the zed boot. Problem is, it dont sound that great. The old bass bin was the type where the speakers were sealed inside with a little perspex window and 4 ports for the bass to travel out. Building the new one, I have the speakers laid on the surface pointing straight out and still with the ports. But dont seem to get the rich low bass I used to have. Do you think I'd be better flipping the speakers so they point into the box? I'm sure I have seen this setup somewhere before.

:confused: as ive got a japanese import,as standard there limited to 112mph or 190kph correct yet how come if im driving down the motorway the needle goes all the way round to the 0mph and the rev counter is reading 7000rpm a seat leon cupra turbo couldent get noway near me! does this suggest my car has a delimiter already ` can i just buy some new clock faces EG 300kph any ideas on what may be the case! cheers greg :cool: :bow:

1st, oil leaking down next to right turbo, and smokes when hot, it is either oil feed pipe or rocker cover, how hard is it to take the inlet off? 2nd, there is hesitation when you floor it, it has full boost but tends to stutter. Any ideas what that could be, spark plugs are fine, new pressure regulator and PTU.

Hi.. I was reading a post regarding blank spare keys by Ya5een. I can't send him an email and is hoping he will read this post or someone can get in touch with him for me... I understand he may have Black/ red blanks for sale... My email is uk175@hendo.f9.co.uk, I am looking for 2 black and one red. Any help, thanks in advance.. 175

Do you need to put any of the packing washers in before fitting or are they OK out of the box. I think someone on here had a problem recently with them opening on idle. I've got T28 hybrids if it makes a difference.

Did anyone buy one of those Fuel cats at Castle Coombe? i did :xxx: seemed ok for a couple of tankfulls but went out in it yesterday, put me foot down abit an got massive det. Dont know weather it's the cat or summit else. Any one else tried em? :(

I'm fitting Turbo XS dump valves and I thought they came with all the bits for a Z but it appears not. What can I use to blank off the unused air pipe? Anybody done this? Also the pipe that the BOV mounts to is too big for the BOV body :( Do these normally come with the right bits and I just wasn't supplied with them? I got them from Z1 in the U.S

I got 2 new O2 sensors but I'm not sure which is left and which is right?! They had different part numbers but they are not in the Nissan bags anymore :( There's a Bosch part number on each and one has a green paint mark and the other has a yellow mark. I would have thought they were the same thing on each side but there must be a difference. How can I identify them?

Do the pipes need to be blocked off when you remove it? Where do they go and what do they do?

hi i have just brought a apexi avcr boost controller off ebay for my z just asking you peeps can some one give me some info if this contoller will be ok on my 300zxtt. also does any one now who does uprated turbos + fitting them as mine only have the stock ones and the rear seals have gone thanx :bow:

Can anyone tell me which are the best brake pads Mintex make? Ive heard about 555s or something.Can anybody give me the proper part no. please? :confused:

What's the best tyre sizes to put on 18"s x 8" on me Z. It hasn't been lowered. Should I lower it too? diff sizes for F & R?

Bit of a bodywork novice and I was wondering what is the correct primer and method for respraying your windscreen wipers, do they need rubbing down etc.?

Nice looking Silver Zed parked up on Southdown Hill, Caversham, Reading just a few houses down from jonnyd64's black zed. Just visiting??? :)

G reg, Going down Colchester rd about 4pm ish. Rich

Around 3:30. Aftermarket front end, standard exhaust.

Since the pistons at the rear of the zed, take an absolute pounding and are generally the ones to fail! If you are doing a rebuild and can't afford forged jobs, might it be a good idea to reverse the order of the pistons, so that the ones that were under less strain are now taking the punishment?

Ok each cylinder on the passenger side Bank failed at 100% Leakage. As well as that, we used a camera on each cylinder and could see damage to exhaust valves. The head gasket is gone because the entire bank leaks to each cylinder. So, they quoted me 3000 for a full head skim new valves, gaskets, seals etc... This is way beyond what i am prepared to pay, this car cost me £3400. So any suggestions? i have £1500 for the engine replacement with jeff at ********, are there any other suggestions? What should i do?
