Howdy chaps and chappesses! First thread here form a new bloke on the block (although I have spied on the forum for a few months now!). A question for the more experienced z-ers out there - especially those of you who are lucky enough to have fitted one of these high quality pieces of tatt that S.E. have the balls to call an induction kit! I bought my z32 a few months ago with this thing already attached (just getting my excuse in for having it!) and the beautiful red paper filters a dirty brown colour. I phoned S.E. for a price on a couple of new ones and they're 17.95 each. Does anyone know if there are any cheaper suitable ones around? Or preferably, if the…

You'll never guess what I've gone and done. This one's a bit more complicated than the 2-page one, and uses more bits. But it's still less complicated than the Mines way of doing it, (again) it's not based on what they done, and it doesn't need a daughter board. For this, you basically solder a socket on top of a 27C512 and connect all pins together except pin-20, which you leave apart. Bend up pin-1 again. Basically, do the 2-page mod first... this gives you the hi/lo selection in the both EPROMs. The second switch is to select which EPROM will be used (top/bottom). Unfortunately, the EPROM that's not in use at the time needs it's pin-20 pulled high, while the in-us…

Hi guys Just found an exhaust leak underneath my zx tt (which has been overheating the ns front wheel arch believe it or not!) and has only just become audible when it's cold. Thing is I can't get under the car to check it out.. Does anybody know of a garage or exhaust centre that can be trusted to stick the car on a lifter (or over a pit) to investigate the problem, without the usual Kwik-Fit "Needs a complete new standard factory 'zorst system guv!" type response? Somewhere in or around north / Central London? I just want to see what the problem is, I'm hoping it's just a loose clamp or something. It's got an HKS system on it, so I'm assuming (perhaps incorrec…

Does anyone have any links (or advice!!) regarding the variety of alloys that can go straight onto a Z. Pics and prices would be helpful too.... Cheers

Does anyone know who makes them in the UK. cheers

hi all just got rid of a load of rubbish (plastic bags and such like from where the radiator and cooler is , the rubbish obviously came through the opening at the front below the air vents so i need to block or put some mesh in the hole there any ideas anyone cully z:)

i think they look far better than the jap spec red ones, my personal taste. very easy to fit aswell. i have just got the rear ones to do next remove the indicator cluster.

i am so proud of you guys. i posted a few threads on the US website (http://www.300zxclub.com) asking for some advice about a US based company. anyway, some of the replies were just so rude and unhelpful. it was funny because a few of the moderators got involved and asked people to be a bit more constructive in the replies and even sent me private mail apologising. i made the point of telling them that our forum was alot better. i mentioned that we too can be rude and take the piss but we do it on our general forum not on "help and advice". Apparnetly this is how they treat all forgniers and newbies. didn`t realise the yanks were such W@nks. keep up the good wor…

Anyone know where I can get the two inlet manifold gaskets from by the weekend if possible cheaper than Nissan dealer as they want £60 each plus the VAT. I did say I wanted the gaskets and not the whole manifold but the price was still the same.

Mine is leaking, pretty sure its from there. Anyone know where I can get one and how much????? Also, how many hours labour will the gargae charge me?????

Dont know if its still available but i have just found a 300zx twinturbo in the adtrader going for £700ono as he has blown engine its black and is a 1990 on a G and is a Auto his number is 07092 441643 or lookup 300zx under http://www.adtrader.co.uk

How often do you have to change this? Also want to clean my cone air filter, what are the best produts to do this with? Cheers Ray

Ok so spent the last half hour searching old posts for ideas on which boost controller to buy , and am I any nearer to choosing one ????? am I heck :confused: I am just after a simple controller that is easy to set up and control boost , I do not need fancy functions just something realiable Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

I've noted that the TT's have 245/45/16 as std on the rear and need to know if this would also be a good move on an NA SWB. Mine are the stock 225/50/16 all round. Would keeping to 225/50/16 front and uping to 245/45/16 rear improve the drive. I've also notice as my alloys are aftermarkets, the front are 16" 7J and the rears 16" 8J so hopefully no problems with the added width. Comments and experiences appreciated.

I have a 1991 t/t jap import which has a beeping chime every time you put it in reverse. Fine for a few rides, but now I'm tired of sounding like some artic! Anyone any idea where the speaker for this is, or if there is anywhere "on route" I can cut the cables? Any help appreciated, Simon

I was driving last night every thing was going fine, i must have driven 10 miles or so and felt a slight hesitation in the engine and then the power light came on for a few seconds. Any ideas why?

I`ve met a couple of folk after Zeds and have heard the words "a bit long in the tooth" more than once. To all of you out there thinking about Zed ownership, just take a look at parkers online. I`ve just spent about an hour trawling through the latest generation of Ford, Vauxhall, Audi, BMW, Subaru, etc...etc..etc...wannabes and have realised that the Zed is about as outdated and obsolete as a fusion reactor! All of the fastest cars in these manuacturers ranges make the Zed look reasonably frugal in terms of fuel consumption. The performance figures by even comparison just cannot live with a stock Zed TT and servicing costs are highly competitive for the 300zx c…

Most places I've asked have never heard of it? What type/spec do I need?

i have bought a universal dual piller pod for my gauges and it does not fit too good does any one have a link where i can buy one that actually is designed for a 300z

Hi, Apologies if my question is answered in another post, I searched the archives but did not find an answer. Im currently looking to get a 300zx TT, I've not decided between UK or Jap spec yet. The question I have is, wether all 300zx TT's come with the Automatic/switchable suspension. Where you can switch it from Sports to Touring mode, with a button on the dashboard ? Thanks, David

HI all i,m a total novice on all these mods for the engine and up grades so say for instance i wanted to upgrade my engine meaning putting a different chip in to increase the bhp .. has mine which is a n/a auto 91 import even got a chip i don,t know if it has or not , being a bog standard z32 so would there b much increase in power just by fitting a different chip anyone out there who could enlighten me cully z:confused: :confused:

hi all how you all doing my zed has been of the road last week due to a hole in the rad it is geting fixed tormorrow just a smal problem i need some advice on whether to decat the beast or not the car is going to se in two weeks for a boost upgrade you here people saying that it gives more power but it will knacker the turbos i would love more power you can never have too much but i can not afford of having the cost of replacing the turbos if they go ban can any one give me some advice on this subject cheers matt

As of last night, I'm running a switched 27C512 in my ECU. It's currently programmed with standard UK and one of SE's. You simply select by flicking a switch. How it's done (quoted from a recent email)... " The EPROM mod is very, VERY simple. Basically you're pulling pin-1 high or low with a switch to select page-1 or page-0. You'll need a 3-pin toggle switch. It's just for safety that I bent out the address pin (pin-1) because I don't know what effect it would have on the ECU if connected. And besides, you could damage your EPROM programmer if it's not bent out. So... pin-1 of the EPROM you then wire to the common pin on the switch, pin-28 wires to one of the s…

Anyone know if the box have synchromesh for first gear ? Ta !
