Forgive me if you've seen this before... I is a Newbie http://user.tninet.se/~bjx414c/jackesnissane.htm Peace....

Got one on order with Johnny da main man. Are they easy to fit and will I need any extra bits to do the job? I think Johnny said they usually only come with Jap instructions but he's trying to sort me out with UK ones... Also got Blitz Boost and Water Temp gauges on order. Boost gauge sounds easy enough to fit but what about the water temp? Does it come with it's own sensor or use the existing one. If it has it's own sensor how/where does it fit? I have a JWT ECU and their website states: Boost Increased to 12.5 PSI (13.5 PSI flash boost) What is flash boost and does this mean I cannot go over 12.5 PSI on the Blitz Controller? What is the safe maximum…

Very nice indeed... Tim ;-) [This message has been edited by Timmy_Turbo (edited 29-08-2001).]

Hi All, Go over to www.zcentre.co.uk , to see the latest offerings from Luke Borg. Items include : Carbon Fibre/Aluminium look trim kits Leather Interiors Samco Hoses S/S Brake Lines Also there's a new car added to page 4 of the gallery with quite a unique bodykit. Regards, Martin Walton P.S. Anyone waiting for news on the brake discs please accept my apologies. Not only have I been snowed under at work but DBA are manufacturing new castings which, with testing is going to take 8 weeks.

Anyone got one of these, How do you rate it? Just how annoying is it with a radar detector going off too or do you not use one anymore? yes, I feel some kind of order comming on... just working out the options... Seams OTT to have a row of Morpheous, radar and jammer boxes... the funny thing is I last got done by a cop timing me, no protection against that... Unless anyone has a smokey detector like in Cannon Ball run? ------------------ 8587263

Hi, Who already has this unit. I have an old snooper SRD from many years ago. It's short range on detection, I don't want laser detection as I think it's useless and the laser jammer is the answer too that. So, my quetion is, if I only wanted to upgrade to loose all the annoying false alarms would I be wasting my money. Currently i get various bleeps in town, all service stations detected, all traff lights, especailly ones on the roads crossing motorway bridges! Cheers, Jez.

My '91 TT auto uk spec makes a weird clicking/ticking noise which rises with the revs until the engine is warmed up. I've had the air con, fan and power steering belts change three weeks ago. There were squeaking noises initially but once they were re-tensioned, the noises disappeared but this new ticking seems to have been introduced. Could it be that one of the belts still needs tightening? I don't think it's the turbos because revving the engine in neutral doesn't produce the ticking sound. Oh, the noise comes from the engine-I can't make out where precisely since it only ticks when the car is in motion. Unfortunately I can't get anyone to running fsat enough alond si…

I tink me starter motor phucked 'cos now & again in don't start the engine just makes a crunching/schreeching noise as though it's not engaged with the flywheel teeth, stop and retry all is well????????? anybody had any similar prob's?????? cheers Jon.......

Tonite on my way back from the Pile of Wight I had a fright (well i didnt but i like the sound of the sentence). Now dont tell the Narcs but I hit the A1(M) at Peterborough (the best goddam road for going fast in a straight line ever!) and I thought well why not, it was almost clear and I had the outside 2 lanes to myself. Floored it, whhoossh nice - straight upto 140mph, then - eek !, no power. Guessing I hit some bizarre speed limiter? Not releated to revs - my car does stop working at 7001rpm rev limiter, But I was in 5th and not revving too many rpm's. Hmm anyone know how to undo this thing, wierd I have heard about 62mph and 112 mph limiters on JAP's but no…

I am fitting 330mm AP discs and was wondering if anyone has had experience with overheating or warping.Any help would be appreciated cheers!

Anyone got one just lying around that works? It can be in MPH or KPH- I'll pay =P just let me the cost and the rate vs the US dollar. thx. Email me

Hi, I was considering to buy the "racelogic traction control system" (group Buying etc..)...so I asked my insurer, ADMIRAL, about it....and after some talking and a call back from them they said:.....If you fit traction control to you car we won't be able to insure it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the F**k!!!!!!!!! This is because they say that traction control also improves PERFROMANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then with traction control the driver could be pushed to go faster around corners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IGNORANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I plan to do some mod and take my car from standard to something …

As the date gets closer everyone seems to be chikening out lol. How many people who have there tickets are going to use them?

for the 300zx tt progressive and all for the measly price of 139. incuding vat. Just seems quite interesting? wouldent mind doing it before trax lol

thinking about it it may not be a good idea for me to go thrashing it around trax with only having my heater matrix done two days before the event thats if they have one in and get it done before then so i may have a track session for one of you lucky punters

http://www.my-mstation.com/ A mate of mine will be starting work there soon. Just wondered whether they are supposed to be any good, or not .... And I've already tried, no he can't get free samples or big discounts (yet) !

I was coming home today at speeds of between 60-80 when I cam to a round-a-bout and I went round and tried to pull off hard at the end of it. I was not getting the acceleration I was used to. Looking at the boost I only got about 6-7 psi and was getting nowhere near the usual presure. At the next set of lights, I stopped my enging and started it again and it worked fine. Is there anything I can look out for? Could this just be a one off incodent? Should I be worried about anything? Any help will be good Stuart ( :-S )

Hey guys, Started my lovely silver bullet this morning and noticed a rather loud metallic noise coming from the engine. It was as if something was repeatedly hitting something metallic and increased in frequency as the revs piled on. It promptly disappeared after about 8 miles and seems fine now. Any thoughts what it may have been? As always, your wisdom (both good and bad) is greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, anyone interested in buying 4 stock ZX (Jap) alloys with new rubber? First £300 offer gets it (excl. p&p). Cheers Danny

Saturday 8th Sept. Anyone going or entering. I have been going for the past 12 years and it still excites me.

Just about to buy a 300ZX in the next few weeks....but they all seem to have starship mileage on aroung here......providing they've been properly serviced what'll these engines go to before a rebuild ? N/A and Turbos respectively. who's got the highest miler on the board ?

So what was the final list for Trax on Sunday then? The date has crept up and my Zed is overdue a service for the Tuesday after the event and the UJ's are noisy and I'm driving to France in it the following Wednesday so..... would you guys mind if took the Caterham 7 instead? I'll put a sticker on the back that says 'My other Cars is a Zed!' Simon (Sparco boots and helmet at the ready!)

Was offered £1000 part exchange for my 300 on Friday - hahahahahahahah I asked him 3 times if he was serious - Iwasnt in it at the time so not sure if he beleived I was for real (no way was I selling - just curious) he said 'its an 11 year old car - who wants that?' so there you go - the culprit was Reynolds Nissan in Southport - avoid them - phoned up a couple of times and am NOT impressed at all. I'm considering going back in the Z to ask them why they thought it was only worth a 1000 quid - so I can look them in the eye and tell em I wont be having it serviced with them! or repaired - or anything. Swines.

anyone know of anywhere else I can get a stylish hood? this is the only one i could find on the net after over 3days of searching, the thing that pisses me off is veilside has a custom hood on their 300zx but they don't sell it =T i mean I like this but it looks like it was snapped on, i mean I don't think I'd want people to plaster the crevices in to try to smooth it out if there are other good hoods out there.

Well, well, well, after last weeks escapade with Nissan telling me they don't have a 300 Zx model, I rang again to find out where my new targa seals where? after a 30 mins argument the the F******G morons I told them to F**K off and I'll get the seals somewhere else, as they couldn.t find my order or anything else to do with it? Where else can I get these? I've looked at all the Z related sites I know but I cn't find anybody that does seals, any ideas Please help as I don't want to go back to Nissan to get them. Cheers JOHN (slightly upset by Nissan)
