Not spotted this local ZX before, saw on Thursday 20/6 parked up on the main drag through Saltney/Hough Green, private plate starting with A2. S.

I was thinking what next now. im thinking of a fuel pressure regulator and some injectors but there seem to be lot of choices to look at, dont want to go all out cas i have stock internals. But i do have a straght through decate exhaust, very large fmic, large aftermarket oil cooler, and the biggest k & n air filter, E.B.C . and new built tubs. I just thought if and when i have all the bits on the list to do. and if i do i dont want to compromise any reliability or running issues. oh where to start? any good read ups or links, much appriciated thanks.

Got to noz today, had a slight over fueling issue that was causing people behind me to have stripped paint on the bonnet, and when ever i put my foot down, i litarally left them in a cloud of black dust. So, considering last time i had my car on a dyno it had slipping clutch and bold tyres plus running rich, it pulled 424.6bhp (engine), its time to do a bit of a guessing game as to what power im now running, now its had a tune. (for those on facebook with me as a friend, please dont ruin it lol) This was just a tune, with out touching the boost controller (well unless noz turned it down slightly lol) Mods are. - Mapped chip from Noz - Nismo 555…

is it possible to remove them with engine in situ and what the worst could happen ? :)

Can anyone tell me where I can do my turbos ? I got a rebuild kit but someone needs to rebuild and balance my turbos for me, any ideas where I can do and how much it will cost?

Gotta love having a zed and these fads for school proms,just earned £100 for an hours work taking my mates nephew to his big night out !! Gave him the usual white knuckle ride after he asked is it as fast as a scoobie :glare: mmmm that was it i soon set him straight :gunsmilie:

After the success of the Trentham classic car show there seems to be some interest in the event at Shugborough Hall, Staffordshire This is another large show, 1000+ vehicles, organised by the same promoters as Trentham Gardens Shugborough Hall is a large National Trust Stately Home set in rural Stafforshire. It is particularly nice for families as the hall has a 'working' olden days farm and kitchens where the staff are dressed up in period costume showing how life was lived back in the day Info on Shugborough is here : http://www.shugborough.org.uk/Homepage.aspx Info on the car show is here : http://www.transtarpromotions.com/ShugboroughHall2013.html…

It's taken me a year to get the car sorted, welding/resprayed and some upgrades I've picked up along the way (pics in my other thread updated soon) Last finishing underseal on ramp before mot, what's that smell ???? That would be the petrol tank leaking !! Got this replaced :) Anyway, went for mot on Monday ( before tank arrived so smothered in sholtz :) ) failed on binding from brakes and chip in windscreen. So not so bad as car been parked up for a yr, binding brakes no big surprise and easily sorted.... Brakes now sorted :) Now chip on windscreen was advisory last yr on mot, but this time a fail coz it's in driver vision and also too big wit…

Hi Noel, Just found the link you need for the purple top 555 injectors you were enquiring about, have pmed it to you. Cheers Jeff

Will back on a transporter:sad:,does more miles on these than the road over the last few years,of to noel to sort all my issue with the tuning,hopefully be all sorted next few days and maybe get some good performance figures from it:biggrin:

Ok, I've been looking at my new toy over the last few days and I'm thinking she could benefit from a boot spoiler. I don't want anything too garish or lairy... something nice and subtle would be ideal :) Are there any "ducktail" options available for these? I just fancy something small to break up the enormous expanse of flat that is the end of the bootlid. I'm not struck on the 99 spec spoiler or the pedestal-type that were fitted from (I think) 94 on. And definitely no hi-level jobs either! Bless me with your knowledge and wisdom please, people! :)

Hmmm, since removal and installation a few weeks ago, my rear bumper appears to have gotten some cellulite! It's definitely related to the position of the mounting studs and bolts but I can't button it up without the side and the rear 'ledge' that sticks out becoming slightly wavy. They are only nipped up a tiny fraction past finger tight and I'm pretty sure it wasn't like it before removal, have I missed a trick? I'm thinking maybe I need to do them up in a certain order...

Hahaha got your message you little sneak, bit premature though im afriad. Also found this: Is this a proposal? Im already married tho sorry :blink:

Noz has set up my car and at a boost of 1.1 Bar (15ish psi) but he was unable to get the PE1420s to boost anymore than this....his thoughts are wastegate issues ...the tubs are good for a lot more than 15 psi ....he has fitted one of his own boost controllers ...any ideas ..no apparent boost leaks etc ??

Hi everyone :) was looking at my climate control control today and realized that i could not change what vent i wanted to use, i have the model with two fan buttons and not the one with one button for fan speed and one for vent selection. My question is this, can i swap one for the other without having to change all the air box and vents...ext or is it not worth the hassle Thanks :D

I saw a white z31 mint. in borhamwood on monday driving nere the a1

When I bought the car the upgrades I had were Alunox exhaust, profec boost controller and an induction kit. With these few little performance add-ons my car was dyno'd and roughly it was at 340bhp and here is that print out given to me as part of the service record. After the Trentham Garden meet on the Sunday I traveled to my good friends workshop in Shrewsbury Lee Dent. Lee did my engine upgrades last summer, engine out keeping stock internals and we/he fit bigger SMIC's, T28 Turbos, Stage 3 clutch with lightened flywheel, 600cc injectors, 56mm core rad, stainless manifolds, heat range 8 plugs and some other bits not really performance related. Gett…

i am trying to get a quote from paisley freight to deliver my manual gearbox and wondered if anyone knew what the actual weight was or if anyone else has used them before for the same thing. also any other courier options would be appreciated.

I'm off to Japan in a little over a week and will be spending about a week in Tokyo. Just had a thought - anyone know of or have any experience of Z goody shopping in Japan? Everything is very expensive there so I'm not holding my breath but any advice/recommendations?

Hi guys. Bit of a mystery here. Fairlady Z TT 1991 J reg. I've just had my passenger side front wheel bearing replaced and then gearbox oil and coolant changed. Was checking the gearbox oil level when I got it back from the garage and noticed a disconnected black rubber hose, prob just under an inch in diameter, sitting on top of the engine in front of the battery. It has the remains of some black tape around the end, but is clean. No marks on it, no jubilee clip or any other sign of it being attached to anything. Now I don't know what all the bits of my engine are for, but I have spent long enough looking at it over the last 15 years to know that it has never had a…

Ive finished doing the brake pipes on the front and have started the rears, and pretty soon i want to get the power out of it. ivbe got 550cc injectors, 10.5x8.5x5.5 intercoolers ( core size), will be order a turbo back exhaust in a couple of weeks and have an hks filter. Now can anyone tell me the max power standard manual turbos can take, im really hoping to get 500 bhp ( bragging rights mainly :scooter:) or as close as possible. cheers
