So I am out with the better half on Saturday night... slowly getting w*nkered so I did the most stupid thing I could have done... I started telling her my plans for the Z and the money involved.... So she then went into devils advicote mode and basically made me feel a prize burk for planning to spend that much money on a car that I have already paid out shed loads for. So I am sat here now totally deflated about what to do. Trying to justify to myself if it is really worth spending 4K on a bodykit, 1K on interior, 1K on ICE and 2K on new wheels and tyres. For a car that's value may or may not reflect what has been done. Will I ever be in the luxurious po…

my ignition unit is down again.. can anyone recommend a good Ignition Unit/Amplifier for a '92 manual TT? an after market product? I got this Crane amp from a fried then realising it's only good for 6 inline engine or V8.. And I was reading some thread here recently about spark plugs to use.. so.. which is the best for a manual TT... Thanks...

Can anyone help!! My window runner has broken, its the bit that attachs the window to the part of the door where the seatbelts are. You can see the cap on the outside of the window. I got the parts from Nissan, only a tenner. But i can tremoved the broken bits!! Anyone done this or have any suggestions. Dan

Hi Boys/Girlz... Some of you guys may know me from the Midlands Meets in Derby... I have just bought a nice S13 But the front disks seem a little warped. I have been told by a good source that you can fit 300ZX Calipers/Pads/Disks... Where do you recomend in my area a scrapper who may have a pair? Should get it to stop pretty well... ;) Cheers for any help. :)

Does anybody have an RPS Single disc Carbon Carbon Clutch fitted to their Z? I am thinking of getting one as my clutch is knacked and I would of fitted a lightweight flywheel at the same time anyway. (Well that justified the cost to my other half, NOT!) What are they like for everyay driving and what is wear like? Cheers Paul

Can anyone help me get a part number for these, it's the last connector/joint before the actual jet's and supposedly stops the water from returning to the bottle. I've tried Nissan, but they show me a diagram, and there not on there. The car is a import 2+0, and the water bottle is in the boot not in the engine bay like the 2+2. The valves are like a standard connector with a fat section in the middle, about 7 - 8 mm thick. Anyone help. Cheers Alex.

Got my HKS Legal exhaust replaced last week with a Mongoose one fron the Z Centre. I have to say that Luke was as helpful as ever (great bloke!) and CHEAP.....much cheaper than buying direct from Mongoose!:D I did an ECU re-set (disconnected the battery for an hour) while the Z was up on the ramp having the new pipework fitted, and now she goes like stink again. I was starting to 'get used' to the power (it seemed a bit flat especially with a couple of bloody great holes in the old zorst) but now she goes like she should! Oh, and the new pipe sounds lovely too! Not too loud, but a nice deep throaty 'burble', a bit like a V8:D Oh, and I have been suffering from HICA…

When removing the aiv's, how far back can you remove them in the engine bay, as in is it just the vacuum lines or is there more. Cheers Vijay

I'm pretty sure that some of you guys were looking for the original mudguards, if so they can be found here - http://www.ultimatez.com/shop/index.php?shop=1&cat=66&cart=65993 Vijay

Do TT decat pipes fit NA?

Up at Crail drag racing at the weekend and I lost drive in ALL gears at the same time and there’s a lovely whirring noise coming from the box. The fluid is perfect, clear pink, and there was no slippage beforehand so I’m wondering if it could be the torque convertor and/or oil pump, both of which I’ve still got on my old box (where the cluches failed). Has anyone ever had anything similar and changed the pump/torque convertor? If I have to go for a new box, who other than SE, do an uprated one and what’s the going rate? Colin

Ive done a few pics of my aivs as i checked em out the other day, thought they might come in handy for anyone who doesnt know where they are like i used to!!!

Hello again Now i know you are going to say get rid of the NA and get a tt but i do alot of miles so i need to keep the MPG down BUT i do want it a bit quicker Now done K and N But should i spend £500 on a zorst or £500 on 75 bhp NOS kit My mate has NOS on his TT and he never looked happier(except when bottle leaks and freezes his boot)

Pulled up alongside a Lotus Elise ( newish model ) at a set of traffic lights. He was looking over and was reving up a lot, so I thought OK then , what the f*ck! Lights changed to green and we both floored it. I was then a bonnets length ahead which then became a car lenghth before we reached 60!! He then followed me ( single carrageway ) to the next set of lights, where he turned right and gave me the thumbs up. At least he enjoyed our burnup and had the decency to acknowledge our little race!:D :D Cheers, F.T.

Can anyone help me with getting my car delimited Based in aldeshot got a quote for MPH and Delimited at £175

:) Hello I need some help from you guys, I need the wiring diagram for the heated seats. Anyone who can help me with it? Nissan will charge me for 50£ for the book ( Service manual complements 2), and it`s only one side from the book that I need. A Nizzan Z32 lover from Sweden Wågis

About 1 month ago i had an agent import me a 300zx. To cut a long story short im very happy with it but i keep finding aftermarket mods!! Good ones! I put a post on the forum asking about what boost levels i can run to on stock turbos and stock ECU because the car had a boost controller. The majority of people said i had to upgrade the ecu before running at higher levels than 12psi. Well i had a look at the ECU today and! their is a sticker on it saying! ""KAKIMOTO RACING!!"" SO THE QUESTIONS ARE: 1. Is this a good ECU upgrade?? 2. What boost levels can i run to now?? 3. What kinda Bhp will i be putting to the wheels with this ECU, cat bac…

Just checking the wiring and piping on my boost controller install which I still have problems with. Can someone tell me which are the stock solinoid connectors. Thanks.

My 1990 UK Auto (standard spec. genuine 57K on the clock) had a recon. box fitted last year - since which I have covered a mighty 500 miles (its amazing the petrol savings that come from a 34 week lay-up in the garage!) - everything was great until last week. The symptoms are similar to a slipping clutch - revs can rocket without the car going any faster?? it also appears to not change into top - it will rev to 7,500 - 8,000 and have the limiter cut in but it will only be doing 80 mph. As I said - it was running superbly, so suggestions please. My guess is the torque converter, although I'm the first to admit that my knowledge of auto boxes is minimal. The GO…

After changing the tweed trim I will soon be buying new seats for the Z. Will I need new runners as well or wil certain seats fix to the original ones, haven't decided which ones to go for yet. Anyone recommend any and anywhere I can try before I buy.

Well I was in 6th gear and the guy next to me said go, so I did and I was in a red one two... what a F***ING sound.. loved IT on the last lap instructor said keep it in 4th and floor it. I hit 9000revs still smileing:D :D jay P.S. still like the 300 as you can see I am no good at adding a attachment (sorry it was a good pic)

Does anyone know where I can get some new friction discs for a Giken Twin Plate Clutch? Thanks.

Was driving along behind one of these on a single carriageway, when the passenger looked around and said something to the driver, who then decided to try and loose me!!:rolleyes: Anyway I easily kept up with him and would have gone for the overtake if there had been any opportunities, but there wasn't! And then I started dropping back several car lenghths...much to their delight....and I was dropping back even further....when FLASH!! He had just gone through that horrible speed camera that I had known about all the time!!:D :D That made me laugh, that did!!;) Cheers, F.T.
