Hi, Dropped the heads off today to get them Ported+polished and the guy rang Piper Cams to ask about reprofiling the cams! He said the cost would be about 250 if they could do anything,has anybody had any experience of this?

Hello anyone, Wondering if anyone can identify this item. It's on the drivers side of the gearbox on the opposite side to the rev sensor. It has 2 wires coming out of it and it has been left disconnected by some garage:confused: :confused: Thanks Vijay

Where the hell do i run wires & pipes etc through the o/s bulkhead area? > I have already used up the grommet hole behind the ECU, ......any ideas? Or do i make one :eek: harve

Ok, I bet you guys are biased but should I buy a 300ZX? I have a 200SX (S13) at the moment which is fine but I think the 300 looks sweet. I ride motorbikes so I'm used to high performance and I had a drive in a mate's Fairlady, which seemed pretty quick. I almost bought the Fairlady (J-plate, 120,000kms, nice condition, £2500) but I'm terrified of huge repair bills. The fuel consumption and insurance I can live with cos they're predictable but how much will servicing / engine repairs cost? What's a worst and best case figure?

I have heard the Apexi air filters are better than the rest, so just wondering where is the best place to place an order. Or shall i buy some panel filters and drill some holes in the airbox as many people do. Ray

i had my konis fitted bye a local garage, on top of the original rear struts there was a grey solanoid which kind of fitted on top,but the konis didnt have the attachment so the garage just left them hanging,so now everytime i put the handbrake on theres an anoying clonk from them.Will it be ok just to strap them up or do they go there for a specific reason,also ive noticed a severe amount of brake dust all over the rear of the car now,my pads a v low and will be changed tomorrow,could it be this thats causing the dust.........

Anyone know a good mechanic in the Chippenham area? I cant find out why my clutch booster isnt working!!! anyone? Dan

I think i have a boost leak somewhere because with .8 jets I am running 12 PSI and without them i am running 7.5 PSI Idle is fine and there is no hesitation and the car is generally running really well, no error codes either been round the car with a piece of tube stuck to my ear but can't seem to find any leaks

What is the correct torque setting for the 2 big bolts that mount an R33 Brembo caliper to the strut? Many thx, -Andrew

my japtt has standard air filters,if i buy hks?filters will they simply slot into place or do i need to modify anything,i just about know the diff between a spanner and a hammer.Ta guys.

great quote from norwich union direct.£284 fully com, pncb,£100excess,curtesy car,the works.I new nearing my Dotage would bring me joy :D

According to my ECU I am. I did an ECU test and got the all clear, 55. I than ran the O2 test, when you rev the car for 2 mins at 2000rpm and the light is supposed to flash about 5 times every 10 seconds. Mine flashes on for 15-20 seconds on then goes off for 1-2 seconds then back on for 15-20 secs. Are my O2 Sensors wrong? Will they need replacing? I think they do. Plus my tail pipes are covered in soot. Stuart

On ebay i can get a supercharger for my 300zx Does anyone know if the electric superchargers are any good (my car is a non turbo) Also i thought i would need 2 as a 300zx has 2 air intake pipes and i thought you would connect it to them? am i wrong http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2408088743&category=33741

Hi guys, finally got me Zed back from the garage but it wont go above 7psi??? Jeff TT tells me it is most likely in safety boost as he chipped it for me and put boost jets on etc etc. Can anyone help at all cus my car feels really slow, well standard boost anyway (BORING)......:rolleyes:

Hi, Anyone know a good supplier of Blitz ? I need a live unit to go with my DC boost gauge (lovely!) and some other nice DC gauges... Thanks:)

Inlet additives...hmmmm..OK! There are many products on the market, from octain boosting filter oils to NoS, as we are fully aware. But has anyone regulated the flow of pure O2 into the manifold. Far cheeper, very easy to diaphram suppy at varying pressure, & its a combustable fuel support carrier . If the flow of air to fuel to O2 was calculated by a clever sod @ all throttle positions & a neumatic flow diaphram was used to feed the manifold, surly this would mean 'fuel/fuel carrer-combustable O2 & air ? And as O2 is ice cold on constant pressurised deliverance - is a thought too. Probably been done already, but i've been asked why not. …

anyone know anything about these???? got the chance to buy one cheap while my zeds off the road, just dont want to be stuck with (another!!) money pit!!!

Due to another slight change of plan i am trying to source a EGT gauge and oil temp gauge,but cant seem to find any place with a EGT gauge,any ideas,cheers, Tony:(
