My previous post was about me removing my cats on a 1990 N/A because of a hole in it.I have read alot about these AIV things that connect to the exhaust,,which i will have to remove due to getting an after market pipe which has no inlets for these pipes.My main concern is 1-will this affect the car in any way? 2-will i have to do sum thing with the ECU(Standard) 3-what do i do with the pipes that i dis-connect? 4-do i block these pipes up?when removed Thx Alot Guys For Your Advise On This Matter [This message has been edited by civic (edited 02-09-2002).]

Okay after looking into the GB that David started, for 4 it will be an extra tenner, so total £460 delivered, for 5 or more it's £450 delivered, plenty in stock too, should be £528.00 plus delivery, let me know soon though, can't gaurantee prices in future, so worth buying in ready at this price. cheers smithy

Hi all, Just had a Stillen intake fitted - I seem to remember seeing a long time ago that you should do something with the battery to re-caliberate the ECU when you are increasing air flow. Is this right? If so, what do I do? Thanks, Andy

Help! New to this site and desperately in need of help to find recommended service centre, garage or other 300Zx expert in South East(Sussex/Surrey/Kent)for regular servicing. Tried to book a service with local Nissan dealer and he wanted to know if the 300zx was a Rover !!!!! Don't think I'll go there any more !!!!

Is there anybody selling this diagnostic software? Your supposed to be able to install it on a notebook PC and run a cable from it's communication port to the diag port on the car and get all sorts of readings and diags.

Where can I find the engine number (& "model number") on an import SWB? The plate at the front of the engine bay has the chassis number, and the engine type, but not the engine *number* Help, anyone? I've tried looking through the FAQs, but I can't find the info I need...

My drivers door doesn't close cleanly. The upper door catch rubs against the pillar and is taking the paint off. Is it easy to adjust the door alingnment on these beasts ? Regards Darren [This message has been edited by dazuti (edited 03-09-2002).]

Guess some of you have gone through this so, would like to get your opinion on the best way to convert... I notice the Z centre has 2 options available: New dials at £130 (£40 fitting) Converter/Delimiter at £85 (£30 fitting) Which is the best method & why. Any cheaper places? Can the converter be fitted easily by myself? Exactly what does the delimiter do? Help appreciated... ------------------

Like the topic says, give me information about your lovely SWB driver's side quarterlights & associated trim/mouldings. Don't all shout at once

Hmm, some bugger harrassed the Z over the weekend - tried to screwdriver the door handle off, then tried to screwdriver the quarterlight out, then stuck his screwdriver through the quarterlight in frustration. I don't know what he was trying to achieve - there's no stereo, and the car was on the driveway right outside the bedroom window, so I would have heard the alarm. The only thing the quarterlight would have given him access to is my magic tree, which he didn't bother with... :/ Anyway, it's a SWB import, and now I need new quarterlight glass & trim (and "mouldings"? Or is this what they call trim? God, I know nothing). From a previous post by sedgewort…

Is one of the clauses of the insurance that it has to be garaged at night? I just enquired and thats what they said. Is it the same for every one else? If so what do you do? Our garage has no chance of putting my Z in. Most garages round here have no chance of putting any car in. Stuart

I dont know if this has been posted before. If Yes then Ignore I've been thinking that it would be a good idea to have a 300zx.co.uk calendar with the best Z's or even all the Z's in this forum. And the money raised from such an action can be given as help to the forum. What u guys think?

Was pulling into Warner Village in Park Royal on Saturday evening, about 8:30 and saw a wicked looking Z with cream/yellow/orange flip paint,body kit, zorsts and big alloys on the A40. Anyone here? and if so HOW MUCH WAS THAT PAINT JOB?!?! [This message has been edited by x-biker (edited 02-09-2002).]

Hi All, Can anyone reccommend a good mechanic/shop in West London/Middlesex/M4/M40. I need all my belts changing (I have the belts from my last Z, but wrote it off the day before the were due to be fitted by Nissan) The belts I have are for a 1992 car, but my new Z is a 1991 - any difference? I would also like to change plugs/oil/clean throttle bodies/TPS etc. any maybe flush AT? Depends on cost - I'm NOT loaded! Anyone know of anyone who is 1. competent and 2. REASONABLY priced. Cheers Neil

Urgently need a passenger door, any colour but preferably black. call me on 07740 930635 or reply here. Ta.

Some bas*ard thieving shits decided to attempt to break in to my Zed early this morning. Thing is, the rocks they were planning on chucking through the window obviously weren't good enough, so they've peeled back the door skin around the lock Thing is, they didnt even take anything, which makes me feel even worse, but the boot was open which makes me think its someone that heard I was planning a big install, but didn't know none of it was in yet - they didn't even take the headunit which i had stupidly left the faceplate on overnight (never again), or the front components!! So I need a new passenger door, if anyone can help, any colour but preferably blac…

Hi, Brain was whirring over tonight, and just had a thought with all the problems on the forum with detonation. Is the fuel pump really up to the requirements, it seems most of us modify everything else on the cars apart from the fuel pump. Is maybe a 10 year old pump really up to the spec to pumping fuel to a tuned up Z? Just a novice mechanic with insomnia! Ideas on a postcard! Mark

spotted in maltby with a plate 97v99 what a funny reg plate both front and back??????? well if its a newbie on ere let me know as i live not far from you!!also a blue zed spotted in rotherham(non standard paint)kitted big wheels etc,,,also a white one spotted heading towards swallownest also had a kit on,a round arch type on rear arches and non standard wheels and heres me thinking these are rare anyone??? --neil--

Anyone got them - I know scoops has them from when he bought the car. I reckon they look cool on a Z. How much does it cost to do ? What is done exactly ? Is it reversible? Where is the best place to buy it ? Who thinks it looks cool ? Do you have to be a drug dealer to get it done ? Can you do it yourself ? Any technical explanations of how it works ? What exactly is it called ? Tinted ? Smoked ?
