...third MOT coming up on Saturday and in subsequent MOT's they've always told me it's running rich - and take it to a Nissan dealer and get it sorted. They always give me a new MOT, so I've never bothered taking it to Nissan (don't like the idea of spending money). It regularly returns in excess of 30mpg (its an NA) so it can't be all that rich. Anyway, is there a simple method of reducing the fuel in the mix? Or should I just take out the air filters (ie increase the air) for the duration of the test - would that do it? ...and before I had the 2nd test I removed all of the AIV (never to be replaced) stuff and it still gave the same readings. Ideas w…

Hello im new!! i currentley own a 2.2 vtec prelude and im thinking about getting a tt manual 300zx and have a few questions basicly my main worries are that its going to cost a fortune if it goes wrong? are they very tempromental? i just want the pros and cons too owning one and what the best one to go for is etc. i should have about £4500 £5000 to spend what years were they made? my prelude is a 95 face lift model with a few extras they others didnt have was there something like that on the 300zx? cheers in advance for your help

I'm thinking of buying a 300zx TT SWB (2 Seater). Is there anything to look out for? Thanks in advance.

Looking at getting one for the Z, will put a switch in there allowing my to switch between sides. Just wondering would it be ok to wire into the stock o2 sensors or will i have to fit a sender? Anyone else got 1 switching between both sides? Cheers

hi folks, am after some advice. just got myself a 1990 T/T import. Any ideas about good prices on insurance and can anyone recommend a garage/workshop in the surrey area. cheers in advance great site by the way

Ok, I like my cars......I have 2 MR2s at present, would like a Supra TT, but first I would like a 300z in my collection... I am torn between a TT or N/A 300z, I don't want a Z to race or to mod ( engine wise ) but just for the look of the car and because of what it is .....as such I am considering an N/A I have seen excellent examples of N/As for around the 3k / 4k mark...my question is what are they like performance wise ? Obviously they are a big heavy car, what kind of 0-60 / bhp figures are we talking in standard form ? I don't want it to be all go and no show...I can think of nothing worse than been whooped by a maxxer in a saxo :eek: What kind o…

Hiya! Had my new radiator and hoses delivered today:) I got a set of red silicone hoses made by SFS(?) for £98 from Aldonautos, and a full metal replacement radiator from Overnight Radiator Company in New Jersey for $160 + $100 shipping (and the UK Government mugged me for £35 too!:mad: ) Anyway, is there anything I should be looking out for when I come to fit it? Any special way of bleeding the system, or problems to look out for? Mine is a 1991 Jap import Auto by the way (and yes I made sure I got the right rad for an auto) Any help much apreciated! :)

Anyway thanks for all your help - hope this can be sorted. This is what I'm adding to signature: http://rides.300zxco.uk/rides/1425/dscf0056.jpg so further help needed. Geoff.

OK i guess I have a problem, had someone fit sbcid and all the bits couple of months ago, now found they bodged job, connected all the solenoids together, the wiring to the speedo etc . anyway now had it all removed and me car tells me it now boosts past the far point on incar guage and i get loads of smoke out the back on acceleration load. I have checked the FAQ and searched the smoke signal page, just want your opinion. Oh yes i had the oil changed to 'Racing 76' Cheers guys

Hi All, I need to go down to get a tailgate from Andy at Gravesend... Just wondered if anyone would like me to pick up any other large items and fancy chipping in for a van... I'm in Stafford and would be going through the Midlands. Let me know. Cheers Ben

Iv seen on some of the new 300zx's that there headlights have a silver lining on the inside instead of the black plastic we have. (either that or im seeing things) Does any1 know where we can get these from as i reckon they would look well nice. Also i dont care of the headlights have HID or not aslong as there inner lining is silver (chrome look/reflective silver) Cheers Fas P.s. i know whifbitz do the HID kit but thats nopt what i want.

Right my engine has screwed up and i am getting another one so i thought i`ll get some mods done before i put i another engine. Basically, i need to get a few things but dont know which or what ones to get so your help is needed. 1. Looking to upgrade turbos. not looking for anything super and expensive. just something to increase performance without blowing another engine? 2. thinking of getting the ECU uprated. Any suggestions on chips etc. 3. Whats the best air filter to get (are the twin cone ones any good?) 4. Need to get a good boost controller and turbo timer. Whats a good make to go for. any other advice to increase performance will be wel…

Can someone tell me the easiest way to black out the reverse lights???????? Tinted gels or spray?

just ordered my new gear box mount to hopfully sort out my vibration problems. Is there any particular tricks or techniques for fitting one? Do I have to support the gear box while I'm doing it? Its an NA manual if that makes any difference Cheers David

Which injector sizes are available for a 91 TT? I did a search, but can't seem to find the messages that tell you this, although I'm sure they are there somewhere. Was it 440, 550 or 555, 660, 720, 850? Or were some of these for later models only? Is it only around 850 that they affect drivability - and is this just because of less smoothness at low revs?

Bought my Zed about 2 months ago now. Had a few niggles and they have been sorted (with a lot of guidence from you guys/gals) but one problem remains... When applying lots of pedal she will go like a rocket, but on other occasions (more often than not) it definatley has a lot less power and has no real kick. Also when just applying a little bit of pedal it sounds as if the engine is doing quite a bit of work but not pulling much. Again this is intermitent.... I have tried all the usual cleaning of sensors, TB's etc. and the ecu diag returned 55. It is quite difficult to explain the problem and really need (beg)someone to give her a drive... …

Going to change my thermostat. Has any one got any tips on how to do it? Is there much I have to take off or is it just the 2 rad pipes coming from the front of the engine? Will I need any gaskets or sealent? Stuart

Just curious, what are the respective BHP figure for TT and N/A cars ?:dance:

a few months back one of my turbos blew quite badly while i was driving (pushing the car pretty hard), and when i came to a stop the car was miss firing pretty badly, causing the car to shake noticably. the revs would fall till the car would nearly stall, but then pick up again. this would continue for a few minutes, then the car would run pretty normally again (except for the rattling from the turbo!) since then the few times i have driven the car, it has seemed to fire properly on all cylinders (although it is a bit hard to tell when you cant push the car properly due to the damaged turbo). i asked the mechanic who is changing the turbos to check over th…

OK! With all the chat about turbos lately, I thought I would start off! I think the defining factors for most people are Cost and Driveability, i.e. Lag! So here are my choices with cost being the deciding factor initially! £1kish Turbos to replace the stock items with, Smithys with uprated seals! £2kish Pe1420's 500bhp on tap with nigh on stock lag £3kish JWT 535's what's the point, get 500BHP for a grand less with pe's £3kish PE1820's 600+BHP not proven yet, have yet to be fitted and proved with uprated manifolds! £4kish TD05-18G mega HP 600RWHP Laggy but you have to make the sacrifice for BHP eventually! What d'ya reckon?

Hi Peeps, Does anyone have the instructions in English for this boost controller. Also for those who have fitted it. How long do I need to put aside to fit it ?.

here you go m8,1 of these and you can pretend to be qualified http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=6763&item=2436944598
