I have completely disconnected the loom in the engine bay and now need to get at it from the inside where it passes through the bulkhead. I have removed the glovebox and hoped to remove what I believe to be the pollen filter housing/heater fan to access. I have removed many 10mm bolts but nothings budging. Is there a cheat to get to the loom or do I have to strip down dash????:confused1:

So i dont know whats in my car and im not going to start pulling the injectors out but. whats the standerd size and what would be a sensible upgrade to run with a large fmic straight through exhaust and rebuilt tubs with 360 degree things with stagerd oil seals or somthing. Want to upgrade next year fuel pressure aswell but dont know what to get then, ill have it mapped ,. if that makes any sence? with ref to injectos i here numbers like 370 550 600 jecs?

Well as most will know by now I have been rebuilding my Z this year..... I finished the welding about a month ago now and have been working to get the car running after a TT conversion.... A few days ago I primed the engine and new oil cooler ready for a test firing..... Today I got most of the bits finished..... all the injector plugs, coil plugs replaced with new ones, final intake pipes fitted, fuel lines connected...... I still have 3 small vacuum pipes to block off and the viscous fan to fit when it arrives and run vacuum pipes to the recirc valves.... But I turned the engine over just to see what would happen and she fired up almost straight away.…

Well i got a insurance quote from adrian flux. Agreed value of 6k with 5000 miles all the body and engine mods declared fully comp 395.00 but cant help thinking that i shouldnt have told them i got a quote for 400 cas im now thinking i could get it cheaper.

All, I've been running a Greddy Profec E-01 for about 6 or 7 years now, but noticed over the last 18 months or so that often the boost doesn't come on as strong as usual. When I look at the graphing display that shows the boost over the last 20-odd seconds (which is a very useful feature!) it's kind of scrambled in that the line will be bouncing up and down from top to bottom in a kind of scribble pattern, instead of showing a curved build-up and then straight line. This isn't overboost or the limiter kicking in as I know what that would look like, and I'm confident in the settings [which were tweaked by Noel recently]. What'll happen is I'll boost, say in 2nd g…

After starting my car for the first time in three weeks to bring it out the garage after fixing my last misfire I noticed yet again it's running on 5. I pulled each coil feed and located the one that didn't change engine note, I swapped two coil packs over to see if the mis moved cylinder, it didn't, so I swapped the spark plugs, the mis didn't move, I checked the voltage at the coil feed and it's live... What should I be checking next? Thanks, Dan

Hi everyone, I been trying to figure out this problem with my z where it will crank but it won`t start for the last few months. I looked through pretty much everything and replaced few things like the CPU, Fuel pump relay (new), Ignition relay (new), E.C.C.S. relay (new) and PTU (new). the ECU is not sending out ground signal to the fuel pump relay PIN#18, Ignition relay and E.C.C.S. relay PIN#16 but the ECU has good ground. I would really appreciate if someone could really help me with this. THANK YOU!!!!..

I was having a wee browse on the web and found this for sale..... http://www.kgfclassiccars.co.uk/details.php?cid=248 It looks a nice tidy, original example - and if one doesn't mind the auto 'box, this could be the type of car that is worth keeping!! Richard:thumbup:

So back on July 1st we made public here our intention to retire to Portugal and the sale of Zedworld, the sale had been in the planning stage since Feb/ March after agreeing a price with the to be then new owner. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?170692-Important-Zedworld-announcement However after a month had past I again posted but this time to inform that a delay had occurred. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?171431-August-and-Zedworld-not-so-changed-yet So here I am again but now I am not so happy..in fact I am absolutely furious with the way both Lynda and myself have been treated though out this deal with promise after prom…

Spotted it this morning about half 7 near the m3 junction. Anyone on heres? Was heading towards Southampton.

Hi all, In yet another dilemma....Trying to fit my Abflug bumper last night and found that the way the custom pipe work fits on the intercooler I would have to cut lots off the bumper to make it fit this is something I dont want to do. Once the car has been mapped and I know its healthy I want to have the pipes re done eventually so cutting the Abflug to fit now would destroy it. So im thinking of buying another bumper for now. This would also give me time to have some minor repairs done to the abflug. Does anyone have any urethane bumpers or pre worked fibreglass for sale? Ideally urethane as I dont want to mess around with fibreglass trying to get a dec…

According to the discription below the "item" this is Z32 300ZX... trying to take an unbiased opinion of it (I love the Z32 looks) I don't really think you could call it an improvement :( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2013-Lamborghini-Reventon-kit-car-95-finished-Turn-key-running-and-driving-/261297946421?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item3cd6923f35 Tommo
