Hello guys, Have any of you seen/or have a Zed with Antera 309 alloys on it? I think it looks very nice but worry about it not fitting the lug pattern on our beauties. Also, anyone know what the propper offset should be for a wheel like this (18" rims)? Any advise is always welcome. Cheers! Danny [This message has been edited by Danny (edited 01-10-2001).]

Hi Guys, Any guys in the Birmingham area heard of a jap import garage called Friends Automart by Winston Green Prison. Went to see a 300zx there this weekend which looked mint so I put a deposit down on it.

You can email offlist at dean@weftpumps.co.uk or phone 07946 038538 Cheers Dean

Hi guys for any interested party I am adding an extra service to my present business as some of you have not the available tools or time for short engine and brake services I am looking to do a mobile service for zeds and as I have trade accounts for Nissan parts prices are going to be well lower than Nissan, and the convenience of a home / office service.So you know I have been removing,servicing, upgrading engines and cars in general for over 20 years so no worries there.However as my location is central england (Midlands) any travel costs could be ofset by a group booking, well mail me or whatever if interested. Jeff TT PS Also provide service history stamping…

After spending the whole day finally dismantling my engine, I thought I'd share some of horrors that I came across: Firstly, EVERY SINGLE injector connector, the two connectors above the EGR valve, and the knock sensor looked like this: ...(And this may be the only time some of you ever see the knock sensor Its in the most impossible place to reach - I have no idea how you'd go about changing it, without stripping your car to bits) Not good, this must explain why the engine seemed to have its good and bad days! And the next picture makes me wonder exactly what my local Nissan dealer didn't tell me when they changed the spark plugs: …

Modena, 355 GT etc. Diablo VT...nahhh, I'll have one of these please! Being Russian it will have about the same reliability standing as a Z...so what are you waiting for??? "Taxi!!!" www.iwantoneofthose.com/fighter_jet.htm

My Trust boost gauge reads 0.5 bar and no more. It will not go any higher and I beleive it is reading correctly my boost. Is this a safety boost reading chaps.... I know I've rattled on about this before, is there anyone on the south coast who could take my car for a spin for me and let me know what they think regarding its performance?? Thanks chaps. Glen

hello chaps, Does my uktt need the restrictor taking off or does that apply to the jap spec, also is the chip in need of replacing to upgrade to about 400bhp? as speaking to johnny he said that I need BOOST CONTROLLER AND AIR/FUEL ADJUSTER. what is the best set up required?? does the speed limiter only restrict the rev's and keep bhp the same!?

Johnny where the f**k have you been all day you are getting like pete at se give me a call when you get in cheerz matey

A good source of technical information.for modifications and upgrades on turbo engines and suspension etc can be found in the performance books published by Bentley publishers. WWW.bentleypublishers.com I can recomend "Maximum Boost" a good book on turbo systems. Dazz..

Hi ya fitted the HKS sequential blow off valves after cleaning and colour coding.Howevever the small pipework and `t` pieces were included as fitted to the zed they came off.Having now disconnected the standard units below the air filter, tested the car no woosh and a drop in turbo boost available!!!. anyone sure of the layout of the pipework?? the units fit in place of the two outer rubber intake pipes,should the small actuator pipes be connected to the same side small outlets ? or not, confusing I know but as it is the car is slower and no dumping taking place,I did expect not to hear as much as with a manual gearbox , but I am not sure they are even working at this …
