Hi guys, i am a new owner of an old ZX300, has been owned by my brothers. I will keep its info a secret till the meeting on sat 22nd.. cya there..

Hi lads(and lass`s) Noticed a couple of nights ago that the rear side light on the drivers side was dimmer than the other side.Only today had time to look at it,not sure if it has been getting proggressively dimmer but to say it was a glimmer today is been kind. Checked for usual connections ,wiring no problem,was about to do a votage test to the bulb when the lights went out completely!! After much fiddling and failing light conditions decided to reverse up to my garage so I could see better,but then notices as I reversed the lights check bulb not on,this should of been alerting me to the no side light. So went straight for the warning unit (clipped inside the ligh…

I dunno if it's just me, or if it's the weather but I'm having awfull trouble keeping my Zed in a straight line at the moment. Straight lines / corners it makes no difference. I'm gonna have to keep off the boost ! I think i may invest in some TC in the near future Now mune is completely standard, how are you GuyZ with serious BHP coping ! Herman

For thorese that know How can a single exhaust system be of any benefit of a dual system. Surly restricting the flow of exhaust gases would be detremental to power. Not wanting to raise any conflict, as mine has the single exhaust. Also is there a kit for the back that compliments the lack of exhaust better than the original. Mark

has he gone AWOL?

Gents, Has anyone got any old brake pads or disks that still have a little life on them (as in a couple of months), that they are willing to sell. I'm basically after the cheapest pair i can get so i can get the car running safely until i get the money to sort it right out. My discs are pretty dead even though the pads are ok but they might need deglazeing. Any offers??

On the power upgrade path after stage 3 (intake, exhaust, ECU), the next step appears to be a Boost Controller. The JWT ECU comes with Boost Calibration Jets. Does the Boost Controller replace the Calibration Jets? What is the advantage of a Boost Controller? Are there different types, and which ones do what additionally, etc...? The JWT calibration jets limit the boost to 12.5 bpi (13.5 bpi flash). On a stock engine, it is "normal" to keep things down to under 1 bar - if so, what does a Boost Controller offer, etc...? Any help, advice or pointers on this subject would greatly help my understanding. This is a grey area for me. Thanks, Geoff

Im going to look at a set of alloys this w/e. The size of the alloys is 9x18 all round. Basically, I know they are fine for the rear but am not sure if they are to wide for the front and therefore will effect the handling of the car greatly? Can anyone advise on this/ had experience of 18x9j on the front? Called a couple of alloys wheel shops, however am getting various answers? Cheerz

before I pack up for the year! So am wishing everyone on the Zed board a Happy Yule and Brilliant New Year!

Basically my car was broken into in a carpark where I have to pay to use. I though that they paid the damage because they gave me a claim form for them, once I sign it I never see it again, so what was the point of that I never know. They have now told me that I have to pay for it. I did find a sign saying that they are not responsible for the damage unless there is any niglect by them. At the time of my car being broken into the Security Gaurd was in his hut. Also there 2 cameras in the carpark but one points at the hut and the other one points at about 10 car parking spaces, next to the hut. Could I claim of them saying that the gaurd Niglicted his duties and the …

Hey guys! Well Im new to this board and I have a couple of questions for ya. I currently own a 1990 MR2 Turbo, we just brought a 1994 supercharged Toyota Trueno for my missus. Only problem is while we both love the Trueno we have problems! Turns out there are some faults that I didn't know about and to cut a long story short I will probably be getting my $ back! The Trueno was a manual and while I know it's sad the missus was going to learn to drive it (She only drives autos!) she cant! She wants an auto. Anyways she ALWAYS love the 300ZX but because we wanted the twin turbo model (Her old man wouldn't let her!) we never bothered. Now we are thinking a Non …

Hey guys. When i get into my Z and start it up in the morning or when its cold,it makes a squeeling sound for a few seconds,when it goes away there's a reving noise as if somthing is catching up with everything else, is this the water pump or somthing else ???????????. regards 'Shrek'

Greetings all, I've had my Z for about 9 months now (stock 93 TT auto), it's had a couple of problems but nothing thats stopped me loving it....yet! One thing that's been niggling me though is the lock-up on the autobox, it seems to do it at the wrong speeds and at the wrong times?! It's more annoying than a problem - other than that the car drives great. Anyone heard of this or is it my imagination? Cheers, Jules. PS. Excellent site, read the tips on cleaning the TB's - worked a treat!
