Any Z Mechs in the Leicester area ?

The theory about lightened flywheels and top pulleys seems ok to me, - free revving, faster spool up etc, but then I remember that my engine is trying to push well over a tonne of car at high speed, so why does spinning a few kilogrammes of stock spec metal make so much difference? Can anyone explain it to me??

Anyone recommend a good bodyshop in sheffield I need that new rear spoiler fitting and spraying up :)

I know your site is mainly for Z32's but i was hoping someone would have a manula for a Z31 lying in a corner or something, If someone does would you mind scanning the wiring diagram for the engine and ecu please? Thanks

Nice to meet you on Sunday, shame the weather was so bad, but hopefully my Z will be back for the next Crail so we can compare your 440bhp 2+2 against my 400bhp 2+0 up the strip :) Chris

anyone here own a white z that was on the A40 to witney on sunday 14th at about noon? :slap:

Is it possible to buy the rear arch repair pannel? I dont want the full rear quarter just the arch itself mine has started to rust through :(

My girlfriend said she saw a 52 plate 300zx near Wymeswold this morning? Anyone here? Ivan

Hi All, I want to get the cambelt done on the Z ASAP. Does anyone know of any decent mechanics in West Sussex, preferably Horsham/Crawley area? Any replies appreciated!! Regards, Dave Refault

I've found my problem!!!!! It was the coil pack on the drivers side rear. Swapped a couple of coils around and I pulled the plug off the coil I thought was faulty and it didn't make a difference to the revs. Also I found that one of the other side cylinders wasn't firing so I whipped out the coil pack (which was the centre one) and swapped it with the fron one and noticed that there was a lot of corrision in the bottom of the middle (faulty) spark plug bore. And this was the problem (I think) on that side. Now what would be causing this corrosion? (Dont say water :D ) Do you think that the coil pack was leaking? Thanks to all of you guy's for the excleelnt advi…

Simple question realy, Can I just bolt on a set of hybrids and off I go? Spec of car is as below..this is due to the dredded seals after full SS exhaust and binning the Cats.

Hi Every one..... I bought the HID KIt from the 300 zx Group buyers and now I really need help to attach it because I really dunno where to connect the cable and all can some one help me ? Thanks a lot hank halim

Guys I received my Conzult from Danny the other day. Iam in the Wirral so if any one needs a hand, fault finding/repairing their motors, give me a bell. I have had my Z for over 2 years and cried out for someone local to help me. In the end i give in and bought the little toy. So take advantage while iam still in a good mood :dance: LOL Dave 07790494286

OK, I've been learning all about upgrade turbos and boost controllers, but now it seems there's fuel controllers to learn about too! I've heard that ecus can provide sufficient fuelling to sort out higher boost levels, but is this truely effective, or do we need a fuel controller too? I already have an ecu chip which is supposed to fuel my old set up with boost jets running around 15psi, but I since the boost jets came off it smells like it's running too rich. Does this mean my ecu is set at one fuel level (too high). I certainly seem to be putting a lot of petrol in!!!

most of us guys have increased our boost sometime or other. My query is that if you increase the boost, you also increase the air temp. By increasing boost to say 13/14psi using stock ICs.The air temp will more than double, this is the last thing we need. would you get more performance and less detonation running the boost say at 10psi. hot air is bad. Anyone?

Hi all, I'm planning to change my gearbox and diff oil, i've done a search and found that 75/90 is needed for the box, i'm planning to use Redline MT90 but i can't find what goes in the diff, the manual says API-GL5 but i've got no idea what that is. Any help appreciated Baz

I've seen someone advertising a bead blasted plenum on the inside for 18% better air flow - has anyone ever seen this or had experience of this? Your thoughts please. Kindest Regards, Alex

im having big problems finding an air suspension set for my zx, i need it cause the roads around me are so crap, so i want to be able to just press a button and sssst up she goes, then when on motorways etc put her back on the deck again. iv seen it fitted to a few cars in banzie etc but they dont say who does it, iv tried searching with no luck, anybody out there help me? :)

I recently fitted Nismo Upeer link bushes to both front upper links on my 300. I was messing about with the tyres/wheels at the weekend and found the bushes on the inside of the drivers side link can be moved from left/right about 3 mm. Surely this cant be right...I cant feel sideways movement but i thought they would stay quite rigid during their lifetime. Anyone else noticed this. Cheers John Crisp

Hello, I was wondering whether any of you could help me with a little problem I seem to be having: I had a problem with my ZX TT stalling at low revs. I took it to the monkeys at Nissan, who after doing a Consult said they could find no problems. After a tip from this site, I suggested that it may be the TPS. They then said that it was and that they had repaired a bit of wiring. The revs weren't perfect afterwards, but it had actually stopped stalling. That was about 4 months ago and now it's started up again. These are the symptoms: - It only ever stalls when the engine is warmed up and seems to be especially affected after hard acceleration. -…

I'm getting a very low rumbling noise when i get to about 30mph,it seems like it sounds like it's coming from the front of the car low down somewhere,my initial though is wheel bearings........any ideas??? Could it be the turbos?

Hi All, My front passenger tyre has extreme wear on the inner side (i.e. bald) the rest of the tyre still looks like new. Drivers side still has plenty of tread although is slightly more worn on the inner side. I'm guessing this means it's not a tracking/alignment problem. Rears are also fine. Using Toyo proxys (about 3000 miles) and energy suspesion poly bushes in tension bars (checked and very tight). Any suggestion as to what coud cause this would be welcome. Possibly a suspension component bush somewhere?? I think the suspension's getting a bit tired, 105000 miles and still original. Thanks in advance. RobH

Hi can someone point me out the bits that need to be mirrored for installtion on a RHD cheers

Very smart red 300zx in Morrisons Car Wash Sunday morning 10:30 :hyper: Great looking motor Big alloys fist one i've seen in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear

I always used budget car wash but I want to look after my 300! Any idea what the best car wash and polishes are? I thought AutoGlym but now maybe Zymol. Zymol do a seal conditioner which I reckon could keep headlight, targa and other seals good. Anyone know what the best stuff is? :hyper:
