General Discussions - 300ZX Related

okay you lot, the new server is almost ready to go. but, first of all, i want to run some ideas by you, and get a bit of feedback 1) All of the new forums will be empty to start with. I will import GENERAL, TECHNICAL and EVENTS into an archived section of the new board, which will be read only, when i have got some support feedback on the next part.... 2) The only user accounts that will be created on the new board will be subscribed members. All others will have to register themselves again. The reason for this is because it is the quickest/easiest way to remove all of the old users, aliases, mistakes. 3) Have a think about the User Titles that you wa…

Hi, Was having a look on the site the other day and someone had a load of ZX hose for sale? Does anyone know who it was? Also if I can't find who it was does anyone know the dimensions for the different hose, as this would save a packet if I can source it outside of Nissan! Regards, Mark

at the autions near me in ellesmere port, apparently it has a reserve of 6grand, grey in colour and apparently been there a while. it looks in good nick, but from what i can gather from talking to the others down there is that no one will bid on it cos no one can accurately value the buggers. is sounded pretty sweet when they drove it through, looks standard too, it will be going through on thursday again at 2 pm and on friday at 7.00pm id its still there. just thought id let u know

sorry to be still bleating on about shock absorbers but i'm afraid i will not rest till ive got to the bottom of it. as u are probably aware im after some nissan shox for a jap 300 1992 i speak to nissan, who take my vin details and ring me back with prices of 70 odd quid each plus vat for rear shocks, 80 quid odd for a front left and 90 quid for a front right. fcuk i think to that and phone jefftt who reckons they should be around 40 quid each plus vat at any nelsons and gives me the part number. i return to nissan with jefftt's part number, they get flustered and say dont u fukin belive us blah blah blah and get quite snotty, i say i dont give a fcuk…

Stupid me has damaged the ecu chip when removing it (I was intending to socket it). It was an original Nissan chip for a Japanese auto TT, the code number on the chip is M105ADA5. Does anyone have a copy of the program code which they can e-mail me.

When I remove the petrol cap there is a rush of air into the tank. Do I need a new petrol cap as there appears to be a one way valve in the cap that may be sticking. Alternatively does the tank have a breather pipe, and if so where does it terminate? ------------------

just checked my MOT gas analyzer - zeds are not in the database. checked the emission book from the ministry - not in it!!!! that means a non cat test is given after 1/8/95 a default cat test is given regardless. ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

Picked my car up from C&S Woods garage in Astley a couple of days ago. Its just been fitted with a Stillen front end and headlight panel, Veilside side skirts and 18" split rim alloys. I was amazed at how great the car looked, both inside and out. Absolute top job was done by Phil. Whatever i asked him to do (and there was a lot!) got done, NO HASSLES! Good garages are hard to come by and even though i live 250 miles south of manchester i will always use them. Keep up the good work guys. Will post piccies soon.

Handbag's down please girls, and take a peak at these vids(might take a while dialup guys): http://www.lad.lv/~martini/porsche/Videos/RUF-CTR_Nurburgring1.wmv http://www.lad.lv/~martini/porsche/Videos/RUF-CTR_Nurburgring2.wmv I think this is part of the RuF Faszination video, of some-guy-whos-name-I-cant-remember and the RUF CTR around the Nurburgring! There are more Vids here: http://www.lad.lv/~martini/porsche/default.asp?l=eng&Sub=3&SubSub=2 , but they are all of various Porsche models - but hey, we all like fast cars right?

Hi, Could anybody suggest the cause of a suddenly erratic tickover. We're talking about somewhere between 700'ish (normal I think) and about 12-1300. Doesn't really seem to be related to the running temparature of the car, but it does seem to be getting worse. What I'm wondering is a) do I have some electronic gadget just about to die on me (not good!) or b) whether it could just be something sticking and a job for some carb cleaner down the appropriate orifice. It's not related to turning on/off aircon or anything of that ilk (as I think there's some sort of regulator for this), because it happens even with the heater controls firmly in "off". Oh…

IVE OPENED A NEW ACCOUNT WITH HOTMAIL, then sent macca the email address and password to see if its my computer thats not working right 18 + OPEN LINK ONLY PLZ when he tried to open it ithttp://www.tgpnow.com/bob22469/122a/index225.html gave this page what the foook is going on

This appeals mainly to the UK spec guys with dummies fitted on the front corners, these clear corner indicators are easily fitted in minutes using stock loom, give off 4 times more brighness than stock side lights, so a big help unlike jap spec corners, have no orange gunk inside and a slightly clearer lense,see pic below, normally sell for £125, fitted on my car only 3 months or so ago, £80.00 delivered Check out Macca/Timmy's rides for pics fitted to a UK car, Got some new Euro clear ones instead Smithy [This message has been edited by Smithy (edited 01-10-2002).]

Hope this works... Larger version Trev

Just been searching through millions of posts on twinturbo.net and it appears once, a long long time ago you had the same problem as me. If you're still on here any suggestions would be very helpful!! My Z won't rev over about 5~5.5K no matter what gear it's in. In neutral its fine. Low end performance is fine too. What did you find was the cause/cure for this? Thanks Rob
