Normally aspirated throttle body pipes and radiator pipes, only wanted for a few days, in any condition, Smithy

does this sound right? I'm clueless about ecu's lol JWT ECU upgrade chip for any nissan 300zx 1990-1992, manual transmission. This is only the chip not the entire ECU. The stock nissan ECU must be "socketed" before you can install this chip. An electronics shop or speed shop can probably do this. You will also need boost jets (or welding tips) or a boost controller in order to increase boost as desired.

Do any of you tyre gurus know where I can get Goodrich All Terrain tyres for a Discovery? Size : LT 135/70/16 CheerZ Ajay. P.S. - "at a reasonable price". Thanks.

Timus-Turboticus - you may like this one!

Mine has a recent new stereo fitted but the rear speakers fitted were crap with gaps around them - obviously not original. I just fitted some decent 7X5s at the back and spotted the stock rear speaker amplifier. This had been bypassed. Anybody know if its worth using it or chucking out to save weight? -Also what output does it have?

Fixed my water leak (I think), but now my aircon compressor clutch (I think) has given up.. Basically, if I switch on the aircon, I get a moaning noise (very loud!) coming from the area of the compressor.. Kinda like belt squeal only a lot lower.. Sound like the clutch, or the compressor? Trouble is coz I get so much water coming in (grr) I need to use the demister quite a bit (sighs) Az ------------------ Yes.. I know my back wheels *were* on backwards.. They're not now, 'k? ;)

Hi Tim, Many thanks for the Zed clothing stuff. Looks great from inside the plastic bags - just a bit concerned about it being addressed to a Mr Ajay.... Thought we'd all established that I am female...! CheerZ Ajay, the Girl.

Hi guys have spent all day under my zed removing the two middle boxes and the restricter and replacing with straight pipe inserts.Firstly i was gob smacked to find the internals in both boxes had collapsed and were trying to make their way down to the tailpipes.Also the material was like metal swarf like shavings..weird.I had thought the exhaust had a muffled sound to it, I wonder how many of us have had this prob without knowing.The upside is that after a test run the car is only marginaly louder but has defo increased in power.The boost is quicker to rise and I will now have to change the size of the boost jets as there is too much boost now for reliable performance.Oh …

OK, ever since I put in my aftermarket head unit (Pioneer DEH-9100R) the leccy aerial no longer goes up and down.. Figured that was because it wasn't attached to the head unit So.. Got a plug from Maplin, and wired it up to the *thick* aerial wire... Couldn't pick up any stations, no up & down aerial action.. Wired it up to the *thin* aerial wire, now I have radio (FM & AM), but no leccy aerial action, so I assume it's running off the rear windscreen one.. Question is - what made the stock aerial go up and down!? There don't appear to be any non-connected wires to the stereo or anything like that.. Anyone know? Cheers Az ----…

OK people, who's up for this? It's basically a run what ya brung weekend so you turn up and race your own car up the strip. All you'll need is your driving license (hint hint) and a bit of cash to pay with.... oh yeah, a car would be usefull too more info on http://www.santapod.com I know there are people here who want to do this so get replying Could be the last chance for some strip action this year as the weather deteriorates... Which is another point - if it's raining on the day don't bother - they won't let you race CheerZ and get replying, Andy PS Before anybody asks where Santa Pod is, its just off J14 of the M1 Oh, and if you need t…

Anyone got experience of driving a 300 with one wife & 3 dogs! i have & dont recommend it. so, any ideas about dog grilles/barriers for 300? i've had this 300 for 9 years so interior decor somewhat faded- dogs like it though.

I have just had a quote for an new set a tyres for my Z. I have been having quotes for over £500 around but I have just had one for £305 including four wheel alignment BUT have any of you lot tested out Kumho tyres?? Because that is what they are and I have never heard of them.

Yesterday I started to hear a clunk noise from the back right when ever I let go of the accelerator. Shit! I bet the axel is going or the bearings or something. It cant be a loose wheel because I had new tyres on the thing less than a week ago,and the air guns they use to put them on with puts F1 ones to shame. Any way clunking is starting to worry me, becuase it is acompanied by a regular sticky noise. The same noise I had when I had a puncture. I get home and get the jack out to look that the noise is. Gets the wrench and socket ready, only to find 3 of the 5 nuts are missing. Some on had tried to take the wheel off. The two left together. So it looks like they where …

Anyone know where I can get my hands on the above mentioned sparkplugs? Have been advised by NELSON that the car should run okay on NGK PFR6B-11 and -11C plugs. However, looking at previous posts both on this forum and elsewhere it would seem that the -11B's are the way to go. Thanks guys! Danny

Anyone know where the cheapest place to get lambda sensors is ? Think one of mine is knackered as it only flashes 5 times in 10s in mode 2, whereas the other one does about 8 flashes. Also exhausts are very black at the tailpipes. Anyone got second hand sensors ?? Cheers

Had a few problems lately with the door lock, on the verge of snapping the key off. Half - inched some sapphire precision lube (with p.t.f.e) from work and sprayed all in the lock and handle, then went crazy on all other stuff including leccy aerial. Locks now smooth as silk,can really recommend doing this. cheerZZZZZZZZ

Friend sent me a new operator logo for my 'phone so thought I'd have a go - sad isn't it! Tim

I'm on the brink of purchasing that awesome bodykit, but the only thing that puts me off is that its fibreglass (and price) and practicallity. anybody seen one close up or thinks its a good kit or SUGGESTIONS!!!????

Been a while since I posted guys cause my car has been gone for a month, remeber I had it in with my local Nissan dealer 8 times! Well my warranty company finally saw sense. Took it to a Z specialist and they are paying for an entire engine rebuild, new engine mounts and hoses, Trans rebuild, Oil cooler, and A/C regas and new compressor! Should get it back this weekend. Mechanics said the newly conditioned engine is mint! all this cause of a little hesitation!! heres hoping!!!

Mine's split and i'm absolutely broke - Can't afford another big Z bill this month so if anyone has a standard pipe from the right throttle body going cheeeep get in touch. Spending all my cash on this monster and the faults are still mounting up! Needs 60K service, HICAS leak, holes in exhaust, front pads, rear disks, rust on rear wing... The list seems to grow by the day! Maybe i shouldn't have bought the traction control and boost controller...naaah the grin factor takes away the financial worries!

Posted this afternoon(Fri) Let me know when you get the wonga. Tim ;-)
