After tickering around with the Mrs Rover 416 SLi, the thought of "Aaarrgghh, fcuk it, it's only the Mrs Rover", so I disconnected the induction pipe that connects to the standard air filter box to see what difference it would make. OMG. How sexy is the sound of raw induction, nevermind the extra little bit of grunt. However, what I do want to know is, have any of you good people ever noticed any difference in induction noise after putting on after market induction kits? I dont mean performance wise but more to do with sound.

I will be buying a car soon and I want something that is cheap, reliable, good on gas yet powerful (i know, i cant have em all) Its either a first gen Honda CRX, which is a car I love and is great on gas, yet has has some snappy acceleration. However, the fact that only 2 people can sit in it just plain sux. Im strongly considering it though. The second option I'd have is a 1st or 2nd gen 300ZX. Not the nice ones, (91- ithink and up) but the ones before that. I really like the turbocharged version and man is it fast. But I dont want to be spedning $100s on repair and gas bills. What is a nonturbos acceleration from 0-60? Also, are 300zxs 2 seaters (i know the 2+2 is …

What is involved in converting the radio bandwidth setup so I can listen to the radio? I've got the original tape cassette/radio, I presume there's some sort of electrical work and parts required? Cheers Pete

Hi, I have been offered a new original Titanium blank at a reasonable price, only problem is the seller seems to think that I wont be able to get it cut? any ideas, has anybody done this before? D UK

Hey all, a little summary... Well I've had my zed a week now, and I'm still grinning :D . Beautiful car, comfortable, phenomenal acceleration but v quiet and smooth. Before yesterday I'd only driven in the rain and wet, so have been v careful around bends, roundabouts etc. In the dry the car feels v different, it really grips the roads and gives you confidence round bends I've never had before. The dry has let me test the acceleration from 1st gear - WOW! :cool: , in the wet the wheels span :rolleyes: when I tried. Still getting used to the looks from EVERYBODY, at petrol stations (3 visits :rolleyes: ) especially. Only this morning a group of kids stopped …

anyone used these? http://www.coximport.com/

Hi guy, A number of u might remember when i first joined the forum, my Box went Bang!:mad: I got it reconed from this guy 4 £1750 with No oil cooler upgrade-just straight recon. Anyway for over 6 months the box has been acting erratic, jumping up to 6000rpm when on the motorway, extreme late change from 1st to 2nd.... Another, rather odd noise, started happening soon after... a tapping noise when coming to a halt and would dissapear if i put the car into Neutral:confused: Some of the fellas from here suggested that it could be the 'parking pawls'. But get this: its in the same garage right now - the guy is saying it not the parking pawls an…

Ive read the guide on Andy's web site, anything else I need to know?

Whose got an SE exhaust? What do you think of it? I am thinking of having one with the additional centre silencers to keep the noise down (replacing my existing scorpion cat back) but it's mucho pesetas. Is there anyone else who makes a SS exhaust (2.5in) with centre silencers, pref straight thru type with mufflers, not too loud. My Z is already decatted (SE downpipes), with larger turbos so noise is up on std. Powerflow only go up to 2.25 inch I think? Scorpion, mongoose and others do not do a straight thru muffler or centre silencers. Can it be more expensive to make a straight thru xorst with mufflers rather than the baffle type? Your thoughts …

Hello again folks! I've finally got a job again, so I'm back to surfing the web most of the day. Good news, because there's about 9 months of forum posts to catch up on. The bad news is that the job is in Reading and Maidenhead, and I live in Bristol. Can anyone guess my fuel bill for 1000 miles of commuting a week? So the Z has got to go and I'm going to buy an Audi A4 diesel instead (not sure you guys should be laughing or crying at this, feel free to make your own choice) The car is an 89 Jap-spec import, twin turbo auto, totally standard except for the necessary autobox oil cooler and import conversions. It has done 85k ish miles, has black leather s…

Any recommendations for insurance for an Import Z TT?? Tried tesco but they want a tracker fitted. Tried Adrian Flux but they want £1600 :eek: I'm 29 with 2 years NCB, no crashes or claims. Car is a 90 import Twin turbo manual with a cat 1 alarm/immob.

Here is the link http://www.boostsolutionsinc.net I thought it was close to $5000. Time to save some money :D

....do we all just surf the forum all day?:D there always seems to bew a lot of people on here throughout the day, including me;) cheers steve

anyone manged to get a limited mileage classic car policy on there Z, since the best i can do on a std policy is £500, and was wondering if i could save a few hundred if i did a classic car policy. cheers Dave

here's a good one, i asked my local Nissan dealer to do my tracking (Grantham) and they said i should ring the local Honds dealer since they might be able to do it, so i rang them and they said they could if the local Nissan dealer would lend them the special tool for locking the back wheels (due to the HICAS) which the local Nissan dealer responded that they didn't have such a tool. Ahhhhhhh! so i took the Z to a local tyre place who reckoned they could do the 4 wheel tracking, and the car is even worse that before now............ so my question is, where do you lot take you're Z's to have the tracking done (ideally a response from anyone Lincolnshire based would be good…

Following on from an earlier thread I read that poly urethane bushes might be noisier than std. Is this true and why? I am soon to fit a set. They are firmer than std but does that mean rock hard. I already have lowered springs, and run on 19's. Cheerz

Hi, I believe Jay pSC has got them, what about anybody else? Mark

Hi, Got four sets of heads from Two engines, in the workshop! I noticed that they have different valves in them! On the larger valves, one set of heads has EG stamped on them and on the other set of heads it has 40 stamped on them! Are these just a change in the OEM valves? Mark

Hello guys, I need to know the easiest way of routing a wire through the bulkhead on the drivers side, any ideas????? Cheers Vijay
