I recently discovered that my Zed is still running the J-spec ECU so revs and top end are electronically limited. As such I can pull past 115mph (not that I ever would or do :blush: Trying to find a replacement ECU is proving somewhat difficult and the aftermarket parts are crazy money imo. I've contacted Whifbitz and Jim Wolf to ask for some advice. A mate advised me that I should also try you guys. The car is a 1995 TT Auto. It's pretty standard except for an Apexi Exhaust and Apexi Induction Kit. Are there any Welsh companies that can assist or should I order a Jim wolf ECU for $600 bucks? Regards Paul

Taking the zed to Demond tweaks to have the camber set for track use,does anyone know what camber we should be looking at for track use??? thanks

would really be interested to see what work you have done and what parts you have used and what the bhp and tq was in the end and what issues you had. just engine and exhaust intakes cam head work pistons turbos ecu tuning boost levels ect...not body work or wheels or or any think like that think it would make a good thread that people could benefit in the future when looking to do engine work for more power and would be of a good read.

Hey guys. Right, time to return this 300zx to life. In red are the areas I really need help. Car is a NASP Manual Heres the back story: Drove onto a guys drive. Parked up. Sat for 7 years and not moved (no idea of the Handbrake was on or not). I put a battery on it and it fired up no bother (drove it 300yards on tickover and turned it off). Only issue to report is a bad idle. Brakes weren't really seized. I now plan to service the car and MoT it. What I plan on doing for Mot: So far I've bought a cheap oil filter and some 5/30w oil from Asda. These are literally to put in the car for it's MoT. It will be trailered to the MoT stat…

i have a question with reference to oil pressure, if you have full oil pressure when car is cold then nothing once warmed up does this mean i have no oil pressure or does it mean the gadge is crap, and how much to correct this? please

looking for help on this as i can't find the leak, after rain i have a water inside the tailgate, only notice it when i lift the tail gate and it leaks out from under the palstic trims inside the lid, i have replaced the rubber gromit around the rear wiper, spoiler is a fibre glass version of the stock unit but looks like it's sealed all round, it it likely the rear screen could be leaking?

Looking at changing the exhaust on my 96 na lwb. is this different to the tt one. My own thinking is yes they would be a different diameter or something? but no compatable. was looking about the bay but they are all just state 32 lwb or tt, so cant see a na one?

Hi, has the method of adding a item for sale/ wanted changed recently, about 6 weeks ago i was using some difficult system which quite frankly put me off from adding any more posts, however when i went to add one today, it seemed its changed to a really easy to use, well thought out post page. Has it changed or have i posted it in the wrong place Rich

I'm right on the edge of ordering some new wheels from the States, but could do with some thoughts on the fitment before I fork out for them. I've seen them on a couple of zeds in this size, and I would like to have an idea of what is required and what to expect when it comes to fitting them on. I will soon have coilovers fitted and looking at adjustable arms. 19 x 9.5 et22 Front 19 x 10.5 et22 Rear Any input greatly appreciated :)

ive had an intresting read and had some fun with there calculater whith the weights and power ratios, and only once been in a ten second car once and now how fast a ten secound street car really is but hey heres dreaming a. have fun. oh it funny thou that with there calculater it would take a thousand bhp to get a standerd weighing zed do ten sec but only 500 to get to the 12.5 sec. made a nice read thou and enjoy. http://www.torquecars.com/tuning/10-second-car.php

Ok, so have the box ready and a ramp lined up. few things I'd like to know if anyone would be willing to give advice. Is there a guide on here which shows removal and re-fitting , cant seem to find one Is there any extra bits I would need? like gaskets? obviously ATF III which I have already. The filling part, im going to assume theres still some oil in it as when I moved it some came out of the end. so what is the best way to drain and re-fill the torque convertor? is there a filler hole for just the torque ? and the total amount of oil is 7.7 litres ? Thanks for all your help ive had recently with my problems with the box, never would ha…

Anyone with a good working series PTU they want to sell, as my new one is kaput!

Hi - could someone give me a list of what tools I will need to replace my battery. Seems like a stupid question I know but the car is 50 miles away and I'm getting the train tomorrow so need to know what tools to take with me. MOT time on friday, fingers crossed all goes well! Cheers

just wondering how much you guy have spend on you 300 on mods and just keeping it going I suspect many people wont want to say, the z is very good at emptying your bank account that I do know.

Just after some advice on wether I have got this correct for a stock NA zed Anybody fitted these wheels? Rota GTR Front 8.5"x18" ET30 Rear 9.5"x18" ET30 Stock brakes and suspension. Thanks guys.

A11XXP Yellow Zed very tidy over at Goldthorpe Barnsley drove past whilst on my way back to Manchester.

Was looking at pics of 300zx on google and found a pic of this convertible zed, I think its stunning, sorry if its been seen a million times, The convertible zeds look a bit weird dazverts one looks great and this one but some dont...

I see you rich

Probably a very easy question for those mechanically minded. One of my fuel injectors has failed so I am intending to get a fullset from ConceptZperformance but wanted to know what is the "standard size on the 1993 manual Twin Turbo (UK car). Their webpage suggests it 370cc but the choice available is extensive. Everything on my car is standard engine-wise and I wanted to keep it that way. Can anyone confirm the size for me please? Thanks

from what I have been reading the manual tt balnce tube have one more pipe fitting out let or is that the auto ? any one got any pics side by side

Has anyone mounted their front washers on the underside of the hood? How did you do it? Mine were previously mounted in the scuttle panels but with the replacement of the old trim they moved to the wiper arms but I've since changed the wipers and the fitment doesn't work anymore. I don't want to mount them on my hood so looking for alternative options...

Hi guys justa quick question. I got my zx mapped with nistune about 6 months ago. At that time it had a cone air filter, decatted exhaust, and was pretty stock otherwise. It made 335bhp, wasnt that happy with that:(. Anyway I've since fitted bigger z centre side mounts and a new fuel pump, question is do I need another remap? And what power gains do you reckon I could get? Thanks!

My steering rack looks like it's past its best, is it best to replace it or can it be repaired? If it needs replacing, do I need to go new or will a used one be ok. If it's repairable how East is it to do it?

is any one on here running bored throttle bodies ? I see z1 over in the us used to sell them but don't anymore due to leaks. I see some people have fitted 240sx bodies but need a lot of work to fit them. can anyone on here do that work mod them to fit ? is there any other options for running a bigger throttle bodies ?
