Wanting a fast car and a muscular body often seem to go together. I remember a post on here before I joined where an aspiring BB was put off by people who claimed you had to take steroids to get big. Well here's the truth and some good advice... I have done weights on and off since I was about 16 (I'm now 32). For years I would train a little then lose interest etc..I made some gains but nothing too visible..ie. I never looked big or like a bodybuilder and I had serious flaws like skinny legs and flat chest. 1.5 yrs ago I decided to really make an effort to see what my potential was and to train properly (I joined a gym for the 1st time) before I was too old. I went …

Just a quick question guyz. A few months ago i had my rear main bearing seal replaced and its leeking again! The geezer at the garage said he checked the PVC valves last time he did it and recons its gone again cos im running increased boost! Surely this cannot be true???? How can the boost effect you're seal on the crank? Im temted to just tell him to replace the PVC's and the seal AGAIN! What do u lot think? A bit of advice would be really helpful! CHEERS LUKE DUKESTER ------------------

Can someone please explain how this works ? I know a turbo's size is a trade-off between turbo-lag and boost. I assume a sequential turbo is to overcome this to some extent, but I need to know the mechanism for it.

Folks I am no expert on what kind of equipment or money it takes to run a thriving forum these days. I know when 300zx.co.uk goes down it is a pisser, lots of folks come here and often rely on 300zx.co.uk for advice and camaraderie... its a great meeting place for like minded petrol heads to chat and yarn, arrange meets, get tech advice, share ideas and thoughts and most importantly for some - buy and sell their products and wares. I myself would not have my TT without this place and sure as hell would not be able to keep it running so sweet without 300zx.co.uk Sure I could go to twinturbo.net and read the FAQ but that FAQ would be worth shit without s…

Hi, Just wanted to know what people use to clean their fake suede interiors? Mark

Hi, I have got a blue line in my windscreen, that goes vertically up the middle and through to the passenger side. Does anyone know what this is for ??? Mark

They are currently selling the Apexi BOV for $349, that $50 less than Taka Kaira, who have sold out anyway, my question is, are this company any good, has anybody used them. All comments welcome Ian

you can buy an application extention for the hks ssqv blow off valves! has anyone used this ? basically it makes ya bovs back into recircs !, HKS SSQV Re-Circulation Fitting inserts enable the SSQV to reroute discharged compressed air back into the intake stream to create a closed loop system to prevent bogging / stumbling of rich air/fuel ratio conditions in mass-air sensor equipped vehicles not sure if this is available for our zeds yet,and im not sure if people would be interested .but to me even tho an expensive option it should sort out my honk noise problems. has anyone done this yet?

Probably been posted a million times before but can't be arsed to look. Who sells the Mongoose cheapest inc. delivery? Thanks

Got most of the way to fitting a blitz airfilter, took the top of the airbox off and took the AFM off but i cant get the bottom half of the airbox off. It is attached by four brackets. I managed to get the two easy brakets off but the two lower ones are near impossible. Is it just a very fidly job or is there an easy way to get it off. Cheers Tristan

Can anyone recommend a good re-uphoslter(erererere)s ??? I need to have me seats done plus get some new Leather One's for me MR-2..... Ta. Phil.

So i am running round on basically slicks on the back at the momnet and gee man the car is all over the place, the back is jumping around when i go over minor pot holes in the road. So first thing is to get new tyres. I have been recommended P6000's (75 quid each apparantly), anybody reckon any other tyres are better? I dont want to spend more than 300 quid for the pair. cheers folks steve

did you get it sorted at falcon m8?

I've got my MOT in august and I have 2 huge holes through the pipes on the bends before the back box. I'm going to miss these holes as it sounds superb but will be a definate fail. The system looks like a HKS Super Drager but isn't stainless. I need to either patch it up or look at getting a new system. More cash! What can I get that has huge single outlets and is really loud? Also want de-cat pipes so does anyone do a rear section that includes the cat pipe all in one? Seems stupid paying extra for another straight piece and more joins...

if you remember i had hesitation at high speed (100 mph) whilst comin home from down south a while ago,well now its got a lot worse,my car seems to loose power and the engine feels like its missing badly. since the last time i got this(which wasnt as bad!) ive had a controller fitted got my funny goose honk noise a 0 boost,or change of gear does anyone have any ideas at wat this can be?it only has it at high speeds 100 mph+ ive done a ecu diag- no probs had my recircs checked and all pipes-no probs does anyone no of any other diagnostic checks i can do ? or any ideas? thanks guys,,jay

Thanks to Geoff for sorting out my Zed after a local garage screwed up- or rather NOT screwed the screws and crack shaft pulley nut tight. The car was making some weird noises after I got it back home from my local garage and was very pissed off. I thought they screwed it up major and was almost in tears. First port of call was Geoff. He did not disappoint me apart from informing me my brake pads need replacing soon....I thought they were fine but....oh well. The car sounds great again so cheers Geoff. Laterz, Van
