i want to improve the power of my zx, its a twin turbo auto. whats the best ways to do this, exhaust and air filter will be comin soon, but what after that? boost controllers? chip? or something else? also what type of power and prices am i lookin at. i most probably start with all the cheap mods first, or is it advisable to do it differently.

Just started my Z up at PPS after having the new exhaust fitted from Grasshopper/JP Exhausts. It has a great burble at tickover and is fookin loud and raspy with the pedal down Custom made with whatever back boxes/tips you want for about the same price as a Mongoose. Must be the first time it's been started in about 4 months and it fired up with a flick of the key [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 14-09-2002).]

Just had a new zorst fitted but the guy who did it couldn't remove the Cat temp sensors so he cut the wires... I thought it was best to just tuck the sensors away but is it OK if they have been chopped off? I've removed the bulb from the warning light on the dash but do these sensors have any effect on the engine?

Anyone know what the answer to this q. is ? I have heard of 3.1 litre. Can you go higher than that ? Do you need to make any other mods to go with an increase in cc ?

i will not be selling parts directly to people,but i will to guys on this forum at a reduced priced. if anyone is interested in the carbon parts i'll soon be selling, then they will be able to buy from a few well known dealers ill let everyone no where to look if they are interested,or ill try and sort you guys and you guys only with discount ive started putting some pics of my parts and more will follow in my rides thanks jay

Hi , Need some help or even advise, bought some speakers for the back of the car (JBL’s GTO 935E 300w 6”x 9”) that sounded really good in the shop. Because the original speakers had blown I thought it would be quit ease to fit these seeing every one else has. Shock horror when I saw the small space, now I know there’s some work to be done. Because I haven’t got the time just now, I thought I would just plug the new speakers in and stick them in the corner of the boot for now, but they sound really bad in fact they sound really sh**ty. Now that I’ve told you all this, is it because I haven’t positioned them properly or that they are 300w’s and the system I have is a …

who reckons the roof of the 300 could have been made a little lower ? I am just over 6 foot tall and my head is nowhere near the roof of the car. Would a lower roof have made the car look sexier ? Most other top sports cars seem to have roofs significantly lower.

Any of you lot in the 'institute of advanced motorists?' If so do you get any benefits, 'cos i've heard it could knock £££'s of the insurance. Tooley needn't apply as he cant even keep it in a straight line. lol ;-)

I lost my copy of Tooley tearing up this parking lot. Can anyone let me know where I can download it from. I tried searching but it seems like the post is no longer available.

I ordered my Razo shifter dead cheap from this place a few months ago and now want some pedals but the page appears blank down the right where the products should be. The rest of the site is fine. I've mailed them and they confirmed the page URL and that they are still selling Razo but it still doesn't work for me. http://www.extremeredline.com/razo/accessories.htm If you e-mail them you will find the prices are actually cheaper than on the site as they remove their tax for export. Here's what I paid last time: Item = Razo RA91 AT Shifter $109.00 Shipping = $12.00 Global priority with tracking# Total = $121.00 Thats £78.00 includin…

Oh dear, still grinning If you don't already know, have a guess as to which singer / band / act has appeared more times on the 2,000 Top of the Pops progs with a grand total of 106. Here we go....

and i dont care how much you all protest about "privacy" and the like, you can all get lump it or stop posting until the option is changed again. this board is a useless piece of cack at the moment. its funny sometimes, but then gets out of hand too quick and then everyone moans about people coming on and startig arguments, taking the urine etc. etc... you bring it on yourselves things will change BIG TIME when the new software and server goes online, believe me

Some time ago AndyP posted about Evo magazine wanting a 300ZX TT for a buyer's guide feature. Muggins 'ere got fingered for it so that's a Sunday wasted on an airfield somewhere instead of being in a pub watching the GP. Nevermind. Point of the topic is this. Why don't you post here some short (and, please god, printable) comments about why you like / bought your Zed? I'll be wittering at some length to the journos about why I personally love the thing to death but thought you would like to have your £0.02 worth. Which I will print and take with me. BTW - if there's over-the-top-ness by slagging people or too many visits from Sweary Mary, I won't have the t…
