Hello peps, I was surfing today looking for something completely different but come across these web sites and thought some of you might like to browse over the information presented. The turbo calculator is 'interesting'. http://www.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=turbo.htm&url=http://www.turbofast.com.au/tfcalc.html http://www.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=turbo.htm&url=http://www.quancon.com/~gdrane/turbosys.html cheers.

I need fullset of Leather interior for my 300zx TT 1990 / also a nice set of wheels can you help me.Cash waiting.

OK, I know brakes have been discussed here before, but what really is the best value brake upgrade around? I'm looking for something that will slow the car down effectively rather than mushing around slightly and letting the car in front slow you down) without costing an arm and a leg. Just got my Zed back, and I could swear my fiancee's Pug 106 brakes better (and that's shite). I'd like to keep the insurance people happy - does a disk upgrade count as a performance enhancement or a safety upgrade? I'm planning to put a Jap spec brake light in the spoiler too. Any advice greatly appreciated. James.

Finally bothered to add my car to the rides section if anyone wants a look. Still pretty standard at the mo.

My 300ZX has a problem: code 13 on the ECU readout - temperature sensor. I don't have the time to get this fixed (I can't get it over to ZCentre in Nottingham, or up to Hiteq in Wigan), so have decided to sell cheap to someone who'll have the time to do the necessary repairs. (The piece needing replacement is apparently only thirty GBP.) The back bumper also needs dipping, and a touch-up around the keyhole is advised (all-in quoted at 130 GBP) The dials on the speedo need changing too (kinked in the sun!) Other than the above, this car is absolutely immaculate - brought into UK as a genuine grade 5. - original targa covers, toolkit etc. SPEC: …

black z reg beginning with flz was it any of you boys yesterday going the opposite way to me ......mr duffman did you see us going past ure house m8 before going onto the beach and doughnutting half a ton of sand over everybody

Just discovered that an old mate of mine owns this :- Special order FFS - only one in Europe - 6.0l, 2wd !!!! So I've emailed to to find out whether their lights are as bad. If they're not then I'm gonna sneak round and nick'em !

Woo hoo!!! finally got the Zed back. Almost couln't tell it had got too friendly with a hedge at all... If anyone wants any bodywork done in the Chester area I'd recommend Chris at PitStop on Sealand Road (may be a good idea to give him any new parts needed though). That reminds me, AndyZ, I'll be in touch later about the new list of parts I need. You can find PitStop in the Mellow Pages. He's replaced all the lower panels down the LH side, straightened out the sill, rebuilt the rear left suspension and sprayed the new bits to match perfectly. The Zed's going back to him for full re-spray over Easter. total cost £1700 including parts. Anyhow, back into the…

Well looks like I need a new engine, just waiting for the garage to stick a camera in the engine, but looks bad. Any suggestions for a supplier of new and recon engines? Regards JOHN

Noticed over the weekend that if I kept the revs constant at positive boost that the boost value recorded on the stock and aftermarket guages fell gradualy, would this suggest a leak? Thanks in anticipation Mark

Ok then, whilst cruising along the M25 in the M5 BMW on the way back from a meeting last friday I passed somebody ??? who had just stoved their immaculate white 300zx into the rear of something. Not too much damage but enough if u know what I mean .. was it any of you guys ??? hope she's none too ill after the event, hate to see another Zeee hit the breakers . . .

Morning All Driving home last night on a desserted moor in Derbyshire, I was cruising at about 80 when all of a sudden load bang, fairy tree lights on the dash, everything cuts out and smoke starts coming from the engine bay. Bollocks I think, after 1/2 hr on the phone trying to explain where the f~~k this unmarked road was, the AA man finally gets there, takes one look and says me engines f~~ked, he thinks the cam shaft has broken, there are no visible signs of damage of oil anywhere. Had it towed to my garage and I hope they can have a look at it today. So whats the chances its not really expensive and what options do I have? is it a new engine, rebuild or re-con…

Having ventured deep into technical forum terroriry, I noticed a post by Aaron with a picture of his instrument panel. Someone mentioned that his boost gauge was reading low on warm idle.. I have photographed my gauge on warm idle and was wondering if I have a boost pipe leak: There are two pix, one stock gauge and the other my GReddy gauge, which reads in mmhg or kg/cm ... what do you think: and Thanks for the replies in advance Glen
