I've seen it long time ago on different picture. Now I've found another one in Zcenter.co.uk gallery. Is this guy a member in here?

800Hp at the wheels easy. How bout a group buy

Filled up the tank with optimax almost £50. Went in and paid with debit card, I just reached the door on the way out when the woman shouts me back and says "Sorry i made a mistake ive only charged you £10" DOH!!!!

http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/tech/blitz/blitz.htm In the link it suggets for my car, which has the chip, to set to 1.1KG/cm = 15.5psi and gain of 6. is this thought of as being ok for the limiter? or do you guys that use this boost controller set to a lower boost limit, cos i find that the boost actually will rest someway below the limit. i just dont want to fook me engine up, i am staying around 12psi for the moment until i understand more about this DSBC. Cheers stvee

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.... Having disconnected the stock solenoids to enable a boost controller, the knock sensor must still be active - (?) Surely if this detects detonation and switches the ECU timing/fuel maps the detting will get much worse?? - I guess it's down to the maps that your aftermrket chip has set for normal running and running after knock detection..? Just a thought... RobH

What is the largest wheel size and width you can fit on a uk twin T without lowering and arch work? Ivan

about Trax. Vijay

I put some of Smithies hard pipes on and now I'm getting code 33 on hard boost. According to the diags it could be: Harness and connector - where r they? fuel pressure injectors intake leaks. I assume that it is the last one, but I have tightened up everything and still the same - any ideas? Also, when they say left side - do they mean drivers or passangers? Cheers Vijay

Anyone got this bit in good nick? ------------------

needed urgently. mail me at andrewdodds@hecm.co.uk if you can help. Thanks

Sorry guys! that old chestnut again. Neved had detonation before. Added a scramble switch at the weekend to give me 5 seconds of 1.3 bar (bit cheeky on stock injectors I know!). Tried it out and got a bit of detting, eased off immediately and now the damned car won't boost to the maximum 1 bar I had previously used OK without detting :-( Could this be plug tip damage or similar caused by my initial scramble boost madness?? '90 Jap Auto TT, Blitz SUS, SE chip and Apex'i AVC-R **standard exhaust** One other point of note, set the AVC-R up to use gear based learning and feedback 'properly' at the weekend. I have to say the boost is overshooting 1 bar a bit... …

I'm going to be ordering a kit to retrim my interior and the seats, I need some advice on who to get to fit it. Any recommendations on good car trimmers? Creech(Croyden)? MAC1, Tony(lack300), KA$H etc any advice? Steve E, have you got a Katskin kit? Thanks lads, Trev

anyone else having trouble logging in to msn? ------------------

Parked up this evening at Tescos for a few supplies, and not 30 feet away was a Z31. First time I've seen one 'in the flesh', so to speak. Um, that's it.

I know it sounds sad as ****, but should help to bolster the new spirit of Z comradeship ? Anyone know who the following are ?... 1. Funniest member ? 2. Most helpful member ? 3. Most technically knowledgeable member ? 4. Best Z mechanic ? 5. Friendliest member ? 6. Any others that ne1 can think of....?

Same colour and everything, very nice, was parked in donnington in a layby by the lake, the owner waved (actually might have been more of a point) at our zed. First time ive ever seen one on the roads. Won't be anyone here just thought glen might be interested that ive seen a car just like his...very nice m8 ------------------

Thanks to everyone for the help on the lights question. I have tried the lights, they all work but the normal driving lights are poor. I was recommneded to upgrade from 55w to 100w. I had a look at powerbulbs.com - there are loads of bulbs. Can somebody recommend some. The site says i need type H4 for a 300ZX (does that hold for a jap import? - is it a case of just plugging them in?) Powerbulbs is offering Philips, Ring or Osram but the site does not say what wattage they are... Are these types legal? Did i hear about some bulbs being illegal? Thanks Barry

Iain you've fitted an auxilary oil sender gauge. What sender did you use to screw above the oil filter as a ford one is too long. Cheers harve. & other members you know with the wrong senders.

matey, remember when we were at chester and you had us sniffing around the bottom of your car for burnt oil???? well i think ive got the same disease cos when i park up after giving the car some stick ive got a fluid burning off my exhaust, i'm pretty sure its engine oil but it smokes like a **** and highly embarrasing. did u fing what yours was? just to give me some pointers before i crawl underneath tomorrow armed with paper towels and talc.. u going on satuday???

where else can you buy a rear wide arch except paul bailey and zcentre????
