Techy Gurus, your advice is required: What boost are you running? What are your performance mods? How did you work out the max boost to run, did you get it tuned or just guess it based on when it started pinking? The reason I ask is that I am running 16psi as I guessed that would be ok. Before setting up the boost controller properly the boost would creep up to 1.53bar (22psi) and pinking like hell. So I am being very careful. But am I being too careful? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John Newcomb (NukeEm) www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

Between the ages of 30 -35, she is like India or Spain. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of its own beauty. Between the ages of 35 - 40 a woman is like France or Argentina. She may have been half destroyed during the war but can still be a warm and desirable place to visit. Between…

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER CLASSIC VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well-fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

Underneath the drive side throttle body there is a hose connection point that looks like it should have some 6 mm vaccuum hose on it. It points down from the throttle body and towards the drive. Have SE forgotten to put something back after my new head was put on. She seems really short on power at the moment It's a 1990 UK spec. car

All, Pete at SE has become overloaded with engines it seems - and the waiting lists are mounting up. He's spoken to Richard at Holbay Engineering (where my engines been rebuilt) and asked if he'd be interested in building some of his engines for him, since he's got a huge backlog of work, and customers are already facing a huge wait for work to be carried out. Richard used to work for Pete a few years ago - and if you call Pete - he'll back up the above. It's worth noting at this point that Richard only does engine building, and electrical work - he does no body work! (Leave this to somebody else) Anyway, thought I'd mention this after chattin…

Hi Guy's Wanted Clear side Repeators. Where to buy from and price. Are they an easy swap, anything to modify. Cheers Dave.

my drivers door must have dropped a bit. The upper door catch (that secures the seat belt) is scraping into the pillar metal. I have tried loosening the door bolts and repositioning the door, but it was only a temp fix and didn't seem very scientific to me. is there a proper way to align the door properly? Cheerz

I wouldn't like it to happen to any of us. One of the guys that I work with had his car vandalized last night. They left the stereo but guess what they nicked....... ...the steering wheel....Poor Bastard!

I want to buy a crosser and Super Motard it for the road, question is about piston/rings life. How long do you reckon id get out of them. Thinking of a 500. ------------------

A white guy is walking along a beach when he comes across a lamp partially buried in the sand. He picks up the lamp and gives it a rub. Two blonde genies appear and they tell him he has been granted three wishes. The guy makes his three wishes and the blonde genies disappear. The next thing the guy knows, he`s in a bedroom. in a mansion, surrounded by 50 beautiful women. He makes love to all of them and begins to explore the house. Suddenly he feels something soft under his feet, he looks down and the floor is covered in $100.00 bills. Then there is a knock at the door. He answeres the door and standing there are two persons dressed in K…

My car is going to SE Nissan for an engine rebuild and I am thinking of upgrading the turbos at the same time. Has anyone got SE turbos fitted, if so would you go for stage 1 or stage 2 and how reliable are they.

I should have a nice day tomorrow trying to fit it Wish me luck Rob. [This message has been edited by Rob B (edited 16-05-2002).]

I'm fitting a new steering wheel but can't shift the bolt holding the old one on. In the service manual it says use the removal tool but I don't have one. Is it just a normal nut that fixes it on because it just won't budge. On close inspection it looks like it may have some kind of locking system. It doesn't help trying to do it on my own with the wheel moving all the time. I presume it comes off anti-clockwise?

I've still got the metallic black twin turbo auto to sell, if anyones interested. Its particularly clean example, that will have to go in the autotrader if no-one buys it in the next few days. Details as follows (+photo) 300ZX import 2 + 2 twin turbo H reg (private plate) auto gearbox Just over 100k miles MPH conversion and derestricted Rear fog light built into brake lights 12 stack CD multi changer Brand new koni adjustable shocks fitted a couple of weeks ago Good bodywork Cruise, aircon etc Price £4,995 ONO Darron (the Nissan 300ZX expert often mentioned on the forum) says its one of the straightest 300ZX's he's seen in a long time. …

I need the technical data that is required to upgrade my turbo's as a friend of mine rebuilds them at a good price and for him to upgrade them he needs the spec that I need. Ie 360 degree thrust bearing and adjustable actuators I believe the garrets are a t28 when upgraded. if anybody can send me a spec sheets it would be appreciated and could benefit anybody else as well.
