Hi - yes - I'm actually back in the country. How ya doing? If anyone else has a set of fogs, stock US Nissan or not, how did you decide to wire them up? (yes, obviously on a US style front bumper) Via the rear fog light switch? Has anyone had them peramently wired to come on with the dipped lights, possibably they're too bright for on-comming cars etc... [This message has been edited by Jez (edited 05-05-2002).]

I dont have a TT z just the 3l v6. As far as im aware its 222hp as standard. Two of my m8s have got gti-rs pushing out 280-300hp and they are very scary cars to be in. Pulsars are VERY fast. I was wondering if people have any opinion on fitting a 2litre 300bhp turbo gti-r engine in a zed. Would it still be faster than a standard non-turbo Z, because obviously the Z is far heavier than the gti-r. It means i could get a dump valve and all the other little toys that come with a turbo. Im not really interested in getting a TT because of the fuel consumption and prefer looks to speed but i was thinking about this today and am just interested more than anything to know if it wo…

Just had a race with a black UK L plate Z,Strosek front,Paul Bailey rear wing did you hit reverse mate was about 20+ car lengths behind me Come on Jason get that chip fitted . ------------------

£15 plus p&p. dissconnects hicas 4ws, no loss there.lol plus you will have to relocate cruise control switch. as i now have the takiara one fitted.

This has got to be seen: http://www.myaudittsucks.com

someone must have installed 1 of these,i need instructions plz. jaylox

I'm 34 today- if any of you lot are thinking of putting your hand in your pocket and buying me a prezzie, please see the list below:- HKS GT2530 turbos 18" Alloys Big brakes 555's Twin POP kit Intercoolers JWT NOS kit I think I've covered just about everything. Thanks in advance, I know you are a generous bunch Dave

Had an HKS EVC IV fitted now I have to set it up. Does the 300zxTT use a single port, swing type or internal type wastegate OR a dual port, poppet or external type wastegate? Can't go any further with the set up instructions without this info. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John Newcomb (NukeEm) www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

Since my Z's still up on stands waiting for nice new shocks (hello Mark?!) I thought I'd do an AT fluid change. No dice - the "How-to" says to remove the tranny oil pan, but most of the bolts are hidden by the exhaust heat shield. Anyone else done this? Do I have to remove the exhaust first?!

for those of you who have not read the technical forum post, (interesting or what) Lymon has done a test on four cars with and without kits on. make your own mind up. f#$ki@g w#?ke&s.......... :~(

I am (was) still waiting for my 'kit' to arrive some 6ish months now. Nothing. But i know & can read between the lines posts of the past months! And after seeing & judging for myself as an engineer this 'kit' just aint the one! Johnny & AndyP who were good enough to get the ball rolling from day 1, did not know where this was going to lead - me thinks! So I will not call T Tec's anymore - because (I DONT WANT IT ANYMORE). I've tried ringing GPS last week & if he's as busy as me i understand why i can't get through, we all got bills to pay. So i would like to know if the money I payed to 'GPS' will be held by Johnny at 'GPS' as a cre…

It happens 10 minutes ago. Me (AUTO TT Stage III) vs my brother (MANUAL TT Stage III) We start from rolling at about 40. 1st time i didnt used my boost controller and at about 700 meters he had me at about 8 cars length. Damn 2nd time i had the lead and as soon as he hits 3rd gear he gets in front (he doesnt have a boost controller and he was working standard PSI) at the end of the 700 meters he had me for 4 cars length Damn those manuals are really fast. I wasnt expect him to win. Anyway I am glad I've lost by my brother who drives a 300ZX. Next time we are going to try from standing still and 400 meters only...Maybe I will have a chance…

This is warm idle,stock boost=-9psi,mechanical=-17psi,Oil stock=29psi,mechanical=41psi. Quite a difference . ------------------

Hi guys have done a photo diary of upgrade to Skline R33 brake caliper and disc upgrade a couple of pics below will post full write up details on zedworld site in the next day or so.

Got this from a post on TT.net http://www.andylau.com/fulltimekiller/game/shoot.html My best time is 20.90s. Someone on TT.net says he got 15.49s. He must have fast fingers. Rob.

saw a nice silver ZX driving through Canterbury Sat lunchtime.

Ever wanted to shift gears with buttons on the steering wheel? Check out the details about the Shift At Will system on www.ess-racing.com

If it ain't one thing its another, i think i need a bottomless wallet. Within the last 500 miles me car has started to smoke, very slight at first and now it chuckes it out, smelly thick blue smoke when its cold. I can leave it on tick over for 15 mins to warm it up and it still smokes even though its up temperature, but when i drive it its stops after 2mins, then it doesn't smoke again until its stone cold. I have noticed when de-accelerating I can hear a sucking noise that I didn't notice before. Performance wise haven't really noticed any difference. I gutted the CATS about a 1000 miles ago, apart from that the car is standard and got nearly 70,000 on the clock. D…

I was offered a slightly non running H reg imported twin turbo auto yesterday at a good price, so Ijust couldn't resist. What will my wife say :-( I'm 90% sure I'll be dismantling it, unless I'm very lucky and my Z mechanic Darron says he can resusitate it. Anyway, that means all bits are available again. I'll get Darron to try and fire up the engine aswell, so I can see if its a gooden. Thanks AndyZ

ive just had a monster install put in. The boot needs a last layer on top to cover the amps/leads etc but other than that its complete. problem is the vibrations. Anything plastic/not welded down is making it sound bad. I know about the dynomat or whatever its called but £13 for 2 little pads is gonna empty my pockets. oes any1 have any advice/know any alternatives. Tooley what did you use for your monster install. O and its really funny driving down the motorway seeing the windows vibrating.

For those of you who were interested in the guy who does the bodywork on my zed his details are as follows, PJ crash repairs, Arlington works, Arlington Rd, St Margrets, Twickenham. 0208 891 1570 The guys name is Peter. If you do ring, tell him Darran from the Post Office recommended him to you. Cheers Ian
