Hiya peeps Im new to the boards and am in need of some advice. I own a 91 auto Jap import and am finding that when I put my foot down there is a sudden pick up then the revs die down rapidly until i take my foot of the pedal, also, when i'm doing approx 50 - 60 mph and slam my foot down she stutters to pick up sometimes not at all. do either of these sound familier to any one? :cry:

Hiya Think I'm looking to sell my Zed (said it before, I know, but I just got married and my priorities have changed). Need advice on pricing, and possibly whether anyone here might want it. It's a 1994 TT Jap, metallic blue, 17'' alloys, two new exhausts, 11 months MOT. All the usual (air con, targa roof). Its got about 81000 miles on the clock (I think thats what the kilometers convert to last time I looked). It had a 60K service last year and has hardly been driven since. Now the bad points.. It needs two new front tyres (they are legal, but only just because the inside edges are low, but they passed the MOT) Leather is a bit below par (especially the …

is there anywhere that sells in the uk the plugs for the top of the ignition coil, what are on the end of ht leads on normal cars if that make sense

Should i use and how much if i'm also changing the filter?

My Zed is off the road cos the exhaust needed to come off again!!! (Sore subject!) I was wondering if I could drive my brothers car on my insurance as the policy states that I may drive another car with the owners permission. The only problem is that he hasn't got it insured, but does this matter as on my policy it doesn't state that the other driver has to have the car insured? Cheers, Shaun

Just changed the plenum yesterday put it all back the together and in just will not tick over ,it starts last for 1 min if that .Any ideas what I've fogot before I get the forking big hammer out :xxx: it looks ok, ungrateful forking car

Spent the whole weekend working on the zed I purchased from Arthur a few weekends ago, which despite being a lovely car has skinned my knuckles enough, hwoever fitted the engine must have been ghenghis Khan and his brother , 1 non of the spring clips on the injector plugs were in place, so they were just push fit, the rubber intake pipe had the jubilee clip missing from the front end and the rear was loose, so was the double clamp on the lower end of the metal pipe, the story was the same on the other side, except that the front end of the metal pipe was oval shaped with some not so pretty hammer marks on it, several of the vac pipes were split , cut, or unclamped. the T…

I let Baggins drive my car at the weekend, he confirmed what I already suspected, my car just isn't as fast as it should be, so were thinking maybe the Cats have collapsed as there seems to be some restriction. How can you tell if they're working ok? And don't say Decat the fooker, because it's done 115K on original turbo's and I can't afford to replace them yet.

Hi Troops, After fitting 2 replacement 2nd hand heads, (GOOD NICK) and 2 turbos, on start up it is very noisy round about the tappet or cam vicinity !!! Engine flush and filter and oil change in order you think ??? Put new oil in, but maybe too thick methinks ?!?!?! Any help, please fire away :confused:

Does the inhibitor curcuit need to be shorted to allow the Z to start after a manual conversion or does removal of the auto box mean it will just work? If so how do I do it?

Where the bleeder goes on the drivers side wing, there are a few connectors mounted that obviously aren't there on a manual car. What are they and can they be removed or do they need relocating. The car has been in bits so long I can't remember what plugged into them.

Was it a TT????

Hello, i am looking at purchasing a 300 next week i have seen a few and just got to make a final decision.. what should i look out for as i am buying a jap car.... 300zx twin turbo 92 reg targa

Anyone have a cylinder leakage testing kit? I need someone that could come and test my Z out with it. Plenty of :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: in it for ya! :bow:

Had all the panels off the interior today trying to fit front UK spec belts, but when i went to mount the bolt on the pillar the actual hole for the bolt has no thread for the bolt to go into. This seems very strange as the rears have the thread in the hole to mount the UK rears. Anyone got a clue as to how i'm going to be able to mount them ? Ta muchly :)

Hi guys can anyone help me with a wireing diagram to hardwire a HKS type 0 turbo timer?

Anyone ever adjusted thir clutch pedal before. I've got an article on how to do it but it's a US version and they can take the side panel off to reveal the clutch switches. You can't do that on RHD's. Has anyone done it ?. If so did you just adjust the rod or the switches as well ?. also how ?

Hey guyz... i was out street racing in my Red Sunny ZX when i was heading up towards the Maccas fuel station and who was going the other way??? Someone with a ****ing nice 300ZX loverly sounding exhaust silver i think there were stickers of some kind graphics or brands i dont know but i'm sure i saw stickers. I tried to persuit by speeding down the by-pass to hopefully meet whoever it was face to face at the hill leading into town... but no luck! Craig.

Yellow Zed, on the M62 heading East approaching the M1 turn, today (Bank Holiday Monday) about 18:20 High rear spoiler, thought I reconised the driver. Sorry no other details, as I passed him at 100 mph :D

Got hold of a compression tester from COS, did the test on the Z and here are the results. So my Right Bank is screwed! What is the next course of action? Can anybody suggest what might cause this? :cry: :shock: Gutted....

Anyone been in a Zed with these on? Was in an R32 skyline that GPS built with them today, and TBH it was fekking awsome. Not too laggy and mental top end. Very impressed. Just wondering if on a Z with decent manifolds it'd be similar.

Hi all, finally getting the Z back on the road after an 18month break (kak paying jobs meant she's been parked-up for a while). I'm really wanting to get the cam-belt done since she's an 89 model with only 50k on the clcok, but is really due a belt due to age more than anything, but not sure were is best to go now. Have tried to contact ******** but no response, any pointers greatly appreciated. Look forward to seeing some of you at the next meet. Dave

Does anyone have any thoughts on the above? They are based in Bletchely in MK. Primarily Supra people but supposed to be handy with 300s. Any non-libellous stories/experiences? Phil.
