Again. Whats the best? Where do I get it? How much?

Chaps, I want a loud, performanc exhaust. Which is the best? Where do I get it? How much will it cost? Do I just need from the cat back to get extra performance or do I need more? Cheers.

just received my zx300 and proud of it it drives lovely and hope to enjoy this group:)

Hi I am about to purchase a Nissan 300zx but people have told me to buy it direct from japan using a website called "futurautos". Is it alot cheaper doing this and if so can anyone give me some advice!! I dont like the idea of paying for a car that I havnt seen!!! Thanks very much Tom

On the lowere left of the dashboard, there are 6 warning lights. This morning a red light marked HICAS came on for a few minutes and then went off. Any idea what it means. I saw on another site that there are 6, never had one light up before but none of the letters mean anything to me.. Thanks Chris

how good is castol magnatech for your z engine against other oils which ones ;)

Greetings to all Z Forum members...I'm a new Z owner and this is my first post...just wanted to say "hi" :D

Hi all, I'm having a few problems wih my larm. It's a Laserline 996 V2. Now and then (and getting more often) when I arm my alarm it arms and then gives three short beeps. I know that if I walk away now then the alarm will go off within a couple of minutes. This is supposed to happen when one of the doors is not shut or the lights are still on etc. But I can't find anything not shut or not on. Anyone know what these beeps are or does anyone have or know when I can get an instruction manual to look this up ?. Help needed as my car is unprotected.

I love my n/a 2 seater z, with its big stainles exhaust note and incredible handling and road holding, but would i prefer a tt, does the handling suffer is it much worse on fuel and if nothing other than a modded subaru has ever kept up with me ???, in real terms how much quicker can a car be?? has any one ran both a tt and a na, i am tempted but scared as mine is mint but wonder what a tt would be like and it wont go away HELP

Ok well soon as I get my funds refunded from my latest interview I'll sign up to the forum, but in the mean time I have to post in here. Basically I have to buy a 300zx now, just driven back to uni (Taunton, Somerset to Bournemouth, Dorset) and the 306 just doesn't cut it anymore My car keeps getting upset by mid range Mondeos! It's too slow and the sorts of roads I drive now demands something bigger. Another thing is people were in the habbit of flashing me for overtaking them. OK nothing coming the other way, good visibility, the road markings say it's safe WTF IS THE PROBLEM! I can't stand people who think because they do 40mph in a 60 that EVERY…

Hi guys need some help my car has just started miss firing (i think) but the problem seems intermittent , sometimes the car will accelerate fine but more often than not today it really held back , i have checked all the electrical connections and cleaned most . I had brand new plugs 2k miles ago , tickover is also lumpy and then will return back to normal after a minute or so. The only thing that seemed to alter the tickover was moving a wire siuated on a small alumium box (with small fins) situated behind the drivers side Throttle valve Pipe , does any body know what this little box does The car is TT auto Any help will be much appreciated

Is there some way of taking the turbo's out will on your P's then putting them back in later or is there somehting you can add to your car that can switch from turbo's to no-Turbo's i ask this because i am very interest in buying a 300zx but i'm on my p's whitch mean's i cant drive turbo cars and if i was to spend all that money buying a 300zx i would like it to go fast when i get of my p's

while I`m here, I was reading the archives yesterday and came across a top speed thread... Was wondering.....whaddya reckon a TT import could do delimited with around 400 bhp ? Also, what would that power do to the 0-60 time? Stock is 5.6 right? So if we are at 5.6 with 280 horses pulling our carriage, what difference does the extra 120 make?

Just wanted to remind you guys and gals about the importance of battery checks over winter. Took the car down to Jeff where he fixed a bad injector connection (so good to be running on 6 cylinders again!) but the car was still not happy..... Wednesday morning, came to start her up and got nothing but relay clicks, funky alarm sounds and not much else. Turns out my battery had died overnight....mind you, the new one really seems to be making the injectors happy though! First time the Zed has let me down so be careful folks...winter is a tart....and I ain`t even driven the Zed in snow yet....shi**ing meself about that one!)

Can anyone in Authority tell me how much to become a fully paid up subscribed member please. Chris:confused:

Just got a 300zx tt 1990 auto! just a couple of questions/ problems that some of you may have had/solved!!! idle is a bit rough, ive been told this is poss the throttle bodies need cleaning??? when i turn the ignition key to the cranking position nothing happens like a flat battery! But if i hold it just before or just dont turn the key all the way on to the stop it is fine, not really a problem but would like to know if anyone has had this or solved it! anyone know of band expanders available for the stereo? or if a standard ie sony stereo will fit? cheers Dave

I have changed the Roll bar bushes, and besides making the ride a hell of a lot better :D the clunk noise still happens. I have checked all the subframe bolts and they are all tight. It happens when I go over small bumps slowly or turning tight corners. Its coming from the front drivers side. Any one have any ideas now :( getting desperate. Stuart

Just wondering if any of you have taken out a warranty for you car from the RAC or motor warrantys direct and if you have has it been worth it... I'm looking for a Z at the moment and if I bought a car 10 years or younger say a 93 car I could get a 3 year RAC warranty for 469 quid... they both seem to cover plenty of stuff...each claim limit is 1500 quid...which ain't bad.. any comments appreciated..I want to get the Zed before christmas...ohhh what a great crimbo present :D

Chaps what do you guys get to the gallon Town? Motorway? My brother is buying a RX7 and I said im sure the 300 will be much better MPG.

Does anyone know if there are plans to convert the clock that omes with shift at will so it works with manuals, I really really really want this :)

Hi Guys well i have just purchased a 91 TT auto after looking around for the last 6 months for the right price etc etc , now the car is an import and is therefore restricted , anybody know what the easiest way to remove this restriction is please , roll on the weekend and some dry tarmac :cool:

Hi all Been lurking on this forum for a while reading all your posts with interest.. I'm looking for a nice motor to use as a second car and I've always loved the 300 and I'm just after a bit of advice.. Basically I've got 10-12k to spend on a car..the Z would do me fine I've seen loads of them on autotrader for 5-7k all a bit different...millage/year stuff like that.. am I better to go for one of the really low millage ones that are selling for 9k+ or go for a 6k car and have cash left in the bank for any repairs or mods that need doing... whats the worst case senario regarding costs of engine/turbo/gearbox rebuilds.... I really want the Z but the…

I bought an engine temp sensor harness from Courtesy to replace my broken sensor connector. It is a 10 inch length of cable with a grey connector on the opposite end to the yellow sensor connector. Where does this grey connector attach to? If I open up my existing harness will I find a connector, or is it intended to be cut and spliced into the existing sensor harness? Does anybody know or done this themselves? Cheerz

Guys, will 8.5x19 and 11x19 fit on a zed with a fat arse kit without any problems? and what size tyres will be required? Many thanks Martin
