I'm after a yellow 300zx non-turbo, manual box, good deal waiting for right car. Any offers?

I have a Greddy Profec Boost controller fitted to my 300ZX. The only problem is that this came pre-fitted when I imported the car from Japan and hence have no instructions. Can anyone help.

Does anyone use the chatrooms on this site they always seem to be empty. Maybee we should have an ICQ list on the site see ya Paul.

after this weekends fun and games we made it onto a site each m8ty and a nice bit of video as well ot the girly gettin seen to on the car lol. ures is on www.ultimate2i.co.uk and mines on www.cruisenorthwest.co.uk .i still say you shudda done a joint effort me me in the ring though.

Hi people. I have rebuilt my engine with new turbos but I decided to go for stage one upgrades as it was only a little more, but now I have a flat spot on stopping and when I blip the throttle. The revs will drop to about 500rpm and then return to normal. Sometimes they will drop low enough to stall the engine. Is this normal and would an ecu upgrade cure it or is it coincidence and something else has broken. Thanks for any input.

Has anyone tried the Champion RC7YCC4 alternative to the NGK platinum plugs or anything better?

Hi all, Had an odd incident occur today - maybe someone might be able to shed some light on it for me! Starting the car this morning it sounded a bit rough and the acceleration wasn't there. A short way down the road a light came on the dash - it's the one just right of the brake warning light, and usually comes on when the engine is cranked. After looking through the japanese handbook I have I think it's the exhaust temp. warning light? The light went off after a few seconds, so I took it easy into a layby, during which time the engine started sounding healthy again. I stopped and pressed on a few of the plugs around the engine, and haven't had any trouble…

I need to look to replace my clutch in the medium term - doesn't feel right, etc.... I would like your opinions on a good replacement clutch. My TT is stock, but I would like to work towards a Stage 3 spec (I am enjoying the discussions on AirFilters & Exhausts). The Nissan parts, I believe are around £300, so I thought I would look at the possibility of a heavier duty clutch. I have been viewing the TurboImports.com site and their ACT Street Clutch. Also they have an RPS Turbo clutch (perhaps APEXVR4.com does this cheaper, but don't know if they will send to UK). I guess a 'paddle clutch' (Silvia) would be OTT, and a harsher feel, for my application. Wi…

Hello everyone. I have bought a Nissan 300tt earlier this year and although I love it very much I have had to spend alot of money recently on parts which were all genuine. A little way down the page someone was talking about 'Courtesy',do they sell cheaper parts and if so does anyone know where to get hold of them. If not, can you get cheaper parts anywhere else. Cheers guys.

Which Air Intake should I get for my Z & how much will it cost?...is it worth changing on a non-turbo car...The cats have been removed & stainless steel exhaust pipes fitted,already. JEZ300Z

Having just done my Kmh-Mph converstion, thought I'd go through all the hassle of stripping down my instrument cluster again to fit some white dials... Have ordered them from NR Autos at $149 + $43 postage ... seemed to be the cheapest so far... Will photo the install for anybody who's interested.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I miss my Z. Its been over a month now. I don't know how long I can keep going in this 1.nothing shoe box they call a courtesy car. Nico, how do you survive? Tooley, got any of those pills left? Yours desperately needing some oommph, Andy

Poxy thing I've only had it a couple of days and my drivers side window has stopped working, anyone got any ideas? Cheers

Took the Z for a blast upto BHam to the Motorshow today. There wasn't anything there that would make you leave really wanting it other than some of the girls on the Renault stand. ();-) I'm a saint really! I appear to have gained a hole in my exhaust. As this is probably a good place to start with mods, any suggestions on what to fit and costs. I don't want anything too noisy. Also while I think about it is it normal for the car to change down gear on the auto box just by very very gently touching the throttle around 70mph ?

right gents ive got the ice and the kit and the exhaust and as the engine mods are on hold till next april i need some new rims. with you guys being the oracles on such matters i thought you might be able to tell me which sites to look at as im not buying blitz as they are way too pricey for what they are. im even up for second hand ones if possible and can anybody tell me what the offset is on a jap import 300 zxtt.will the stud pattern of any other car fit as every time i find a wheel i like im told they dont do it in a nissan fitment which im sure must be bollox

1x hks alc offers cost £200 new 1x set of blitz dumpvalves the coolest sound on the market cost $500us new

To be brief. I have oil in the expansion tank. black oil not milky.there's no water on the dipstick and it's still new and clear. i have had the radiator replaced with a new one and was told originally it was gearbox oil?Also one garage mentioned a "porous head", whatever that is. after being compression tested by two garages i've been told it's fine but it's not! Any ideas or places to take it to get it checked would be appreciated. thankz

For those of you with Jap imports who have used Import Solutions (Weston Super Mare), can you please email me with your experiences. Please email me if you are planning to use them. Cheers, Andy Cheers, Andy

A little while ago, a mechanic friend of mine lowered the driveshaft to try and get to the reverse switch. Since then I have had a rubbing noise, which sounds like metal shearing when I'm in second and fourth gear. Would anyone know what has gone wrong? Cheers.

Have converted my jap import from Kmh - Mph today and it works a treat, job took about 3 hours & involves removing instrument cluster. Hardest bit was changing the speedo face, although I got a needle removal tool with the kit which makes the job much easier. Anyone planning to do the same, I highly recommend Far East Services. Kit is 85 quid but does include a very good quality replacement Mph/Kmh face, needle removal tool and chip. Only 4 wires and one loom wire to cut so not rocket science. I've been warned off the cheap kits because on auto's, they can affect the change points and trash your box ... Let me know if anybody wants more info. Ri…

I like the sound of these leather kits from the States at $700 Does anyone know if this is for a 2+2 and also does it include door panels, around the glovebox and centre console etc. See ya Paul

Well I now have my 91 TT and I love it. It kicks bottom, I had a 928S2 Porker earlier in the year and this would leave it for dead! I do have a question (the start of many I would think) Has anyone experienced jumping with the factory CD player, mine plays and occasionally jumps on mild bumps. Is it possible to fit an aftermarket radio as I have quite a decent Pioneer CD but am not sure if it will fit straight in?

Morning all, been a while since I've been around, but nice to see it's just as busy. Had some fun with my TT, after a tranny rebuild, torque converter, etc.. (£1400), I hit some FOD on the M6 which punctured the A/T sum .. boy was I pissed, got towed off the slip lane by a friendly officer of the law in his shiny range rover who then proceeded to breath test me.... atleast she's back on the road with only one speedig conviction... :-) Nico, still not sorted your turbos .. how long ... sore point I'm sure.. Catch you all later, Kmh - Mph chip change to do this morning ... Also looking for a leather interior if anybodies seen one kicking around. Cheer…
