What can i reasonably expect to pay for a good respray? Total change of colour i had in mind. Regardz Ian.

ste (wild turkey)was on his way to pick his zed up after having a head gasklet done and new turbo's etc when he gets a call saying a part he ordered himself had an oil leak(what a bastard!) poor steve lets all give him some support as hes feelin really down,hes had the car 8 weeks and its been off the road for 6. looks like hes got to wait until hes sent the part back ,got a replacement and had it put back on. looks like another couple of weeks of waiting ? never mind m8 at least it will be right when its done. hope ya back on the road soon!jay

I have replied to a couple of posts with long replys, Clicked on submit, it does the normal stuff, but no post? Anyone else got this? Could this be some timeout issue due to the time I'm taking to write a reply? Cheers, ------------------ Trev 1990 300ZX TT 2+2(import) http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/trey/

hi, im looking for a 300zx TT without too many mods, must have at least part service history and the proper 60k service done. metallic grey colour, targa, manual or automatic,turbos must be in good conditon and body should be good. must drive well and have recent MOT list ur cars below thanks guys.

Ive noticed recently people have had problems running rich and Johns nightmare on the dyno, well heres my opinion. If your sad like me and read all the posts on TT net about peoples setup experiences you will notice that whatever the chip your running the only way to set it up correctly is by using a fuel controller like an AFC. Some people are having to richen or lean off the mixture by upto 50% at various points in the rev range, even cars with identicle mods can need totally different settings and the only way to do that is with a properly equipped dyno with wideband 02 sensors and a skilled operator. Both of which are in short supply in the UK. In my experiences at dy…

I've noticed a few people on the forum are in need of parts at the moment. I recently started dismantling another 300ZX (yep, another one !!). Let me know if you need anything. Emails get the quickest reponse. Thanks AndyZ (01634 221783 or geewhizz@onetel.net.uk)

I'm fucking sad today and i need 1-2 to cheer up a little. I hope to all of you not to fall in love and have no response from the other side it really sucksssssssssssssssssss.

Hi All, I took my ECU out last night and found my chip had been replaced at some point (though not socketed...?) Anyway, the chip and the ECU casing both have a label handwritten with 124T AT 7,500. I'm presuming that means auto with 7.5K rev limit. My car is a Jap Auto 90 - does this chip sound correct? Recent posts have suggested that gear changing will be odd if the wrong chip ECU combination is used... My spec is as follows ECU 23 23710 41P13 A18-000 M05 0517 Chip 124T AT 7500 Can anyone help please by verifying this is right or wrong? Cheers + TIA! RobH

You're right, clean engines do go faster! For everyone else, I was getting v paranoid about my local Mandela not being as switched on about Zs as they should be at their prices. But who could I get to check things over? I don't live as far north as andyduff, SE are already full of exciting work, etc etc. So (despite his bad taste in shorts) off I toddled to Jeff at Zedworld. Throttle bodies cleaned, all-over inspection, suspension check, timing check, ECU reset and a bunch of all the other stuff Mandela should do (but can't be arsed / don't know about) or owner should do (but I am even less competent than Mandela). Car is better (throttle bodies are a m…

I work in engine lubricants for Shell so I know that Shell's top-tier oils are as good or better than any other oils out there - Castrol's Magnatec adverts are very good but Shell oils have the smae properties and we have compared the two and Shell Helix Ultra is better. Shell is a very conservative company, and is not very good at blowing it's own trumpet or creating persuasive adverts. Also - Optimax petrol could potentially pay for itself by giving you extra mpg and greater power. Did you know that standard petrol in Japan is superior to even our Super (98 RON) petrols. Standard there is 100 RON ! Our standard is 95 RON. The quality of the petrol you use also affe…

HORRAY!!! - Car got fired up this afternoon - started first time - after total rebuild, etc etc....(after 11 months) Got 555's and JWT ECU - BUT..... its running well rich - what can I check to make sure everything is connected up correctly? Aren't the O2 sensor supposed to sort this out? Regards ------------------ Simon

Hi Ya Guys and Gals. Was just wondering if you would be interested in a BIG meet for all us NISSAN (Datsun) owners sometime this year. Have put a thread up on the GTR site. Please have a look: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/showthread.php?threadid=3010&referrerid=8 I attended the NISMO Festival last year in Japan and it was BRILLIANT with all the Nissans and Datsuns their. Would be great to do it over here :-) . Would like your thoughts please. Bye for now. glen
