I realise a true sportscar should be manual, but I don't mind either to be honest....and where I live an auto makes life so much easier due to the number of speed bumps that the friggin council insist on putting down...... What are the auto boxes like ? any problems to look out for, anyone ever replaced one ? what kind of price are they if they do go ? Cheers

Hi, On my TT conversion I am in two minds whether to remove the dash to install the clutch boosters or not, I have got a very powerful clutch though? What do you reckon?

Hello :) Tomorrow I'm gonna do loads of connector cleaning, clean my filter, fill up with optimax and a bit of octane booster maybe. In preparation for the hammering my car will take :D Oh and wash it ;) Anything else anyone is going to do? Cheers Pete

OK, so I wouldnt normally dream of putting this up here. However, the fact is that a white Shit heap of a metro with nasty bodykit tried it on this morning. Obviously he didnt get very far. But to actually see him look dissappointed that he didnt beat me from the lights beggers belief! He must have thought his baseball cap gave him better acceleration. ;) Some people....

I thought them Honda NSX's jobbies were meant to be Fecking quick.. I had a play with one this evening, I was buzzing after though!! He pulled out from the local honda dealers with trade plates on, there's me waiting for the damn lights to change.lol. He musta been watching in his mirror 'cos I launched off from the lights, so he puts his foot down, caught up with him on this short dual carriage way (I mean private track kinda thing) up to a round-a-bout, then I backed off a little 'til we hit our local raceway, then floored it again, could he keep up??:p Not a sniff:rofl: I reached a resonable pace :D before he gave up :dance: No wonder it's been forsale …

...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

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
