how fast do our cars acutally go? i have just been doing 145mph!! and me car was still pulling like f**k,just fitted hks induction kit&mongoose exhaust!mmmmmmmmmm sound really nice now ! so what speeds are we talking top line ???

On my way back down to work this afternoon, it's a sunny afternoon and the roads are nice and dry and my car is no longer silent...but rumbles with a nice deep throaty(non porn version) resonance at low revs and full on boot!!! Anyway, have to do 30mph over the Menai bridge as the wind is still tryin' fookin' hard to get one of those things with wheels off into the Straits. So get back onto the A55, foot down as everyone else still assumes that they have to drive about 60 miles to the nearest motorway still doing 30, fuckers!!! See this silver car in the distance, he seems to be going nicely but then I think he may have seen me in the distance in his re…

Can only put it down to some gaskett sealant used on my stock zorst when the gearbox was done! Coz since Andy Duffman fitted my Blitz on yesterday...no more stinkin'!!! No more stinkin', much more responsive motor, much quicker aswell so can't wait to get the Blitz induction kit on!!! Jesus!

I have a complete set of Z wheels with the standard 225's on them. Reason being that the previous owner either skimped or did not know that the rears should be 245's. The fronts have 5mm of tread, the rear have 4mm and the wheels were balanced 6 weeks ago. Am looking for £220 all in. Call me on 07775 620441 or mail me on cos.theo@mailcity.com [This message has been edited by Cos (edited 11-02-2002).]

If anyone is interested there is a damaged Z for sale L reg,uk,TT at sheffield sports salvage -www.sheffieldsportssalvage.co.uk. Looks a clean car, shame to miss it

OK People Have 2 turbos for sale for the beloved 300ZX. Was keeping them as spare just incase I had problems with mine but a company car is ordered so there isn't such an urgency now. Anyways, I have not seen them in action but I guess that anyone wanting them will probably exchange them for Hibrids. However, I can confirm that there is hardly any play on the spindles. I am looking for £220. Mail me on cos.theo@mailcity.com or call me on 07775 620441.

Just been out for another test drive, trying to find fault on auto box. I have noticed that although the box will not change from second to third gear under acceleration, the minuet I release the throttle pedal the box instantly changes to fourth gear, I can then change down to third by switching the over drive off. As soon as I touch the throttle pedal (barely applying any pressure) the box instantly changes back down to second gear. Does this indicate a particular fault?

Just informed my insurance about my new wheels and seat and got a great big shock, £640 to £1400, shit!!!!!

GuyZ & GalZ: Apologies for hijacking this forum to flog non Zed related articles but I need to sell quick and wanted to offer it to you first!

How can I accurately measure/adjust the boost my car is running at? It is currently set via two bleed valves under the bonnet. Does this need to be done by a specialist or can I do it myself?

Hi guys, I'm asking this question on behalf of my best friend in Holland who's also got a Zed but isn't on this forum ... His car (a '91 US spec TT manual 2-seater) is running perfectly fine but he's noticed that the viscous fan comes on quite regularly and very loudly. I know from experience that mine rarely comes on unless I'm bombing down the motorway on a very hot day (and lets face it ... that only happened once since I've owned my Zed ) He doesn't do very long journeys in the car and doesn't drive it very often (has a company car). The car also doesn't seem to overheat at all. Nothing else seems to be wrong with the car but as he's not very technical he w…

Guys, Am after some front fogs and side lights (As Jap spec) for UK Z. Cheers, Matty.

I have just placed an order for a set of four drilled Brembo disks for $370 that’s £261.61 including shipping from Canada, been told to allow 8 weeks shipping though. For anyone interested his email address is 944t@accessv.com

A quickie for those of you who asked me for the Stillen Bumpers. Looking to get final idea on numbers so I can quote. Thanks Johnny

Does anyone know any good companies for de-cat pipes for the zed, and how much? How much bhp do they give on standard boost?

I have a Cobra 7928 Alarm in my Zed. It is apparently universally compatable with central locking systems, does anyone have the wiring diag for how to hook it up? The page I do have says to refer to Diagrams 3 to 6, whatever they may be. Cheers guyz Tim

While I'm hogging the top two slots on the tech-page, now is probably the best time to post my next question : My Z has zero rust on it - apart from ONE structural member. However I can't find it in FAST - (The Nissan parts CD for the un-familiar). Its the metal section that sits directly below the radiator / air-con heat exchanger / oil cooler. (About 10cm deep, and runs the width of the car, between where the tie-rod bushes are). (The bottom skirt amongst other things is fixed to it) Can anyone identify a part number? Coz mine is MEGA 'king rusty - I mean *really bad*, could probably poke a screwdriver through it in places! Cheers you all most …

Just got this from Easytrack. We’re running a day with the SIDC club at BRANDS HATCH on SUNDAY 24th Feb. All Japanese car makes are welcome to join alongside the Subarus, so we thought you might be interested. The day is being held with numbers restricted to 50 cars and at a special price of just £120. For that, there will be 30 minutes tracktime in every hour between 9am and 4pm available. Instructors will be on site as usual. To book into this special event trackday, simply visit www.easytrack.co.uk and you’ll find more details in the events section. ------------------

I've just got an autometer boost gauge (thanks Smithy!) but I'm having a bit of trouble fitting it. The gauge doesn't come with vacuum hose, it comes with 1/8" NPT hose and connectors like this - I found a US web site and a discussion on tt.net that showed a place that the autometer hose will just screw into So, I've just been out to connect my gauge to this point and found that I have something connected to it already - What is it? And why does my jap spec have it but the US specs don't seem to? [This message has been edited by Dave Marley (edited 11-02-2002).]

Was it you I spotted in Weston-Super-Mare driving past Tesco's last night? Red Z, rear spoiler, I think it was lowered and alloyed but it was pissing down and I only had Z headlights (come to think of it, it could've been a Micra) ------------------

ROOF OFF I THINK But its cold But who cares

Ok, as some of you may know my engine is still in approx 200 pieces in my garage - while the bottom end gets rebuilt. (For those of you that don't know - its in about 200 peices in my garage ) In the meantime I've had loads of time to think about the rest of the work that I want to do, but can't decide whether or not it would be beneficial to remove the EGR system. Now, as far as I'm concerned its 99% there for emissions reasons, and only 1% to keep the temperature down in the detonation zone. Whilst digging through all the rides section last night i noticed some of you have had this done. I'm sure that if I remove the EGR system, I won't suffer from…
