The mystery of the photo's has been resolved. I received a series of proofs this morning with an Order form. The photo's are superb. I'll try to scan a few even though they have 'PROOF' written across them. Simon

INJECTORS FROM - Russ Collins of R.C. Engineering Please let me shed some light on the injector subject also, or should I say, let me turn on the lights for you. Injectors do in fact come with different internal resistance. (Impedance). High resistance, called "Saturated", and low resistance, called "Peak and Hold", are the two types commonly used today. At this time, - 90% - of all automobiles, including the Japanese, are using Saturated - 12 to 16 Ohm Injectors. Toyota uses Sat. injectors in all but the Turbo Models. Earlier models used a mix of the two. The, electro-magnetic solenoid, fuel injectors used in all automobiles today are all grandchildren of the Be…

I have a vibration, quite bad up to 50 or so then gets progressively better is it the dreded propshaft/c.bearing?

Hi ya guys.Has today been a good zed day or what, after regretfully letting Deano down by forgetting to collect his service kit (lots of sorry groval for been an idiot) I spent an afternoon under Danny`s silver zed in search of his mystery engine noise/rattle/detonation.whilst me and Danny lay on cold concrete under his car for ages, we discussed and cursed Nissan`s failure to even get the simplest jobs right! To those who don`t know the story so far following a belt and pump change at the local Nissan garage a noise that sounded to all intention like detonation / pinking but some time a metal rattle has turned a perfectly well adjustable guy into a frustrated animal (…

I just want to let you guyz know that me and Lisa (my girlfriend of 6 years) have decided to finally get engaged, we are going ring shopping on Saturday (gulp!) Don't worry Johnny, I'll hopefully still have enough in the 'Z fund' to pay for my body kit! Dave

when the forum keeps disappearing like tonight, and quite often in the past as well, it is nearly always because the provider is having trouble or under attack, pain in the arse i will move it when they decide to start charging me......

Hello all, I am about to purchase a reprogrammed ECU for my Z, and I have it down to 2 chips, the JWT ECU and the S.E chip. I was wondering how many people have the JWT/S.E chips, and how do you find each? which one produces more power/torque? has anyone had both in their car? and how do they compare? Thanks for your help, Brian.

Had my Z for nearly a year - been lurking here much longer and today figured out how to add my ride. One pic courtesy of Shorty. Apexi's and BBS RS2s.

Posted to our local 300 mailing list - FYI - I've been on a mission to make my 300 stop and I scored a set of R32 GT-R calipers with Apexi Slotted rotors. I've cooked my stock brakes so many times it's not funny so decided to up the braking power. The final setup will be Mintex 1144 for road use, Ferodo DS3000 for track use with HTX 114 fluid, stainless lines, along with a brake stopper mounted to the front right strut tower. Note I'm not rich otherwise I'd have an AP 6 pot setup with 360mm x 36mm discs.. but thats $8000NZD I don't have. ==================================== They rotors are visibly *much* bigger than the stock rotors. The stock jobs look pretty fri…

Now I know the Zeds lights are poor but coming back from seing johnny at the G-mex, the bastards went out all together, I didn't notice on the motorway untill Got to a ulit part.. foooook me , could I hell as find the fuse for the dip beam..so sorry to anybody on the m62 being blinded by a Zed!! where was I ah.. WHERE THE HELL IS THE DIP BEAM FUSE?? thanks!!

Hi guys, Just got Z back from mechanic again, he changed the oil,fuel filter,battery etc and checked the timing on the CAS, he reported that it is 15. BTC which, I gather, is what it should be. The problem is the car is still slower than usual, and is quite slow to rev up (especially up top from about 4500 up) the boost guage (crap standard one) is reading fine up to about 10psi, so I dont think that it's safety boost. How do I check the timing belt (which was replaced recently) to ensure that it's set properly? does anyone have an idea as to what else it could be? As always, thanks for all your help, Brian

Finally got the upper inlet manifold off today.. Yaaaaay! Much swearing and cursing, and slicing of fingers trying to get down to all the little rubber hoses mind you! Why, oh why, do car manufacturers insist on using those bl00dy spring clips as hose clips? Jubilee clips or petrol clamp ones would have been much.. much.. MUCH easier to get off! Shame I can't really see any split hoses Guess I'm just gonna have to replace them all and hope for the best.. Oh and retrieve the 10mm spanner & throttle body bolt that disappeared down the left side of the engine.... Now to order all the hose I need.. anyone know what dia the small coolant hoses are? …

im back on msn but have no idea how it works

One for the hardware anoraks The onboard sound on my Gigabyte board packed up. I have disabled it with the jumper and installed a new soundcard which works fine. Now whenever i start a game which uses my voodoo card the computer just freezes and has to be turned off. If I remove the soundcard the games run ok. I have tried reloading the drivers and the games but no joy I have also tried the soundcard in 3 different pci slots and it makes no differance. also windows reports no conflicts on either device. Wazza you can take over as UT champion while I am out of action. Paul

I need some! After Kemble, my brakes took a bit of a hammeing (it was an all stock system so not ideal). Anyway, where from an how much? Cheers, Andy

Easytrack are running a Brands Hatch Day. I don't know if I can afford to attend but thought that after yesterday some people might be interested, the cost is £149 for a day - which is cheap.

I would like to thank kevin at 3g brakes for supplying me the brake kit brembos slotted forn and back and i use redstuff pads. i went to trackday yesterday and never had fade in two sessions of 15 mintues lots fo braking. i was very chuffed. i also tried to brake from 168 mph (well my clock was all over on the right hand side and my id metre said 168 so give or take a few miles. and to my asstonishment the brakes worked. no wobble no fade nothing.

Ive been the owner of a ZX just under 12 mths but cannot find any video tapes with a ZX featured. Anyone Know of any ? Regards

People here in America ofter regard Europeans as "rude" and unpleasant, I beg to differ, I was reading posts here and I see just the opposite, people are nicer, I am a menber of an americam forum and people there sometimes are sarcastic and ther's no real "brotherhood" between us Z lovers, here in this forum I saw one person willing to pay for a part for someone in the forum who's not quite ready for the cost yet and offered to get paid back after a year, my hats off to you!!
