Hello, I need to know what type turbos I got on my zed. All what I find out is garret a/r 48. I think its manual stock turbos. Does anyone know where I can get rebuild kit for this turbos ? Does the rebuild kit from garret t25 will suit ?

Hi i have some strange problem with knock sensor well my ecu show me code 34 so this mean knock sensor is damaged then i find on web page how get around the problem and clip the resistor in the plug ok i do this and ecu show me code 55 and a was happy Problem solved but when i turn on engine and and stopping then ecu show me again code 34. Som1 know what is the problem?

so ive had my z for 3 years now and its spent most of the time parked up due to lack of time and commitment. its finally on the road now after having the rocker cover gasket leak fixed from zedworld. however its still leaking oil from the rear cam seals. ive sent pictures to jeff and hes advised that it is the most probably cause of leak. since the weather has been surprisingly sunny ive been driving it daily so its got me thinking, if im going to continue to repair faults to an engine that i have no history on why go through the hassle and spend x amount of money which could be more then the cost of a rebuild. i know it would be best to just rebuild the engine so that i …

So, what do you think I couldn't do to make it look better? Do you think I should paint the cam covers blue?

They seem to have disappeared, maybe they are out of stock, however they were 300 delivered a while back, anyone else think these are the same intercoolers being sold directly from china? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TWIN-TURBO-SIDE-MOUNT-BOLT-ON-INTERCOOLER-FOR-1990-1996-NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-3-0L-V6-/251285604759?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a81ca0997

I was on a bike - you said wanna have some fun? I said I've got a black one! and you sped off :) .

think someone should tell this guy its not a short wheel base.... link could be a cheap TT for someone though (not my listing, nothing to do with me just found it funny, hope its no one on heres)

After much pain I finally got the downpipes off then to find that I cannot remove one of the 02 sensors from one of the pipes and have rounded the nut. The car cannot stay where it is today and needs to be driven so would it be ok to drive for now without the 02 sensors connected to my new downpipe?

I am currently in the process of removing my old down pipes and can not for the life of me work out how to get the two top nuts off on the drivers side. Advice greatly needed!

Do you know what I mean? do they have a proper name? They sit on the flat part of the door card half way up, between the switches and the seatbelt. How rare are they? are they even a stock thing? Basically I want to get some soon, I'm just not even sure where to start, what its actually called would be a good start ey.

So ever since I've started using my zed again, I'm getting used to all the noises she makes again. But the continuous faint whining (of viscous fan bearings?) is doing my head in, I can hear it faintly over the engine noise. Is this a common problem (viscous fan bearing noise) and easy to fix? Or is it something else common? Noticeable on idle, drops away a bit on revs.

Hi all, Ok, whilst stripping my rear sub-frame assembly today, with the plan to replace the rear disc guards; with the ones from the turbo sub-frame assembly, I noticed that one hub nut is way smaller than the rest, plus the treads on this one are much thicker, wider threads - I'm assuming this isn't normal? My thoughts perhaps that someone re-threaded it, or used a driveshaft from a different car... Will a turbo driveshaft fit an NA, so that I can replace this oddly threaded monstrosity? Also, will my rear turbo hubs / guards even fit on my NA, I do realise that the HICAS bush hole, on the hub arm, is smaller (and different) than the NA 'suspe…

I finally polished the pipe. The veilside exhaust exhaust took ages to clean but looks real nice. The crappy old iPhone pictures don't do it justice really Before... After...

Hi guys, My new shell came today, from sussex stu. so got on a mission, took the doors, bonnet, wings, tailgate off. swapped them with my ones. stripped the engine bay, got to jet wash it tomorrow. Removed rear diff, subframe, got to remove front cross member in the morning thrn stonechip arches and underneath the whole car. one of the sills were dented, from a jack and I've sorted that. Heres a couple of pics, I'll put some more up tomorrow. Hopefully couple weeks it will look like this again..

went for trip to surrey rolling road today, was amazed the zed got there let along ran on the dyno and came home under its own power :blushing: it ran well 236.8 bhp, and 192.4rwhp, fueling was good, mods are full exhuast (headers, decat, catback), dual intake, and adjustable fuel regulator, still on standard map, will be interesting to see what it like once its mapped, and got it light prop and flywheel in. and im off to brand hatch on thursday for its first go on the track, to see where it needs improvement first. sorry for poor picture, will post some more once i get them, dont think its bad for an NA with 115,000km on the clock:blu…

I have this really annoying squeek in my car, I know this is a long shot asking here, but, I have had it about 2 years now and was convinced it was behind my dials somewhere, I have stripped it all and put back together and its still squeeking. Best heard coasting in neutral as the car goes over bumps. I am thinking now it may be the A pillar!? Its really bugging me now especially as I was convinced it was fixable by stripping the cluster area, and reinstalling everything tight together. It sounds like a bird is in my car, anyone else had this before? Thanks, Dan

Ok, so I wasn't sure where to post this, but bear with me. As some of you know Jimmer is doing an engine rebuild for me, which will soon be in my car. :cool3: My current engine will obviously then be in need of a new home. This engine has a full service history and is the original fitted to my car (a UK 93TT) 67k miles, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, and has an extensive history with the cambelt, thermostat, etc being changed within the last 3k miles, the only reason I'm swapping it is I wanted some more power. I will need the ancillary items once it out like the power steering pump alternator etc. (turbos will stay with the engine,) but apart form …

got my mate to dip this for me ,,,he said give us a fiver that will get me a drink happy days

I've got a few parts that i don't need any more so they are free to a good home if anyone can collect. I have a standard right side intercooler and very soon a TT subframe, rear suspension arms and Left and Right hubs. Collection from southam warwickshire. Thanks Chris.

Was changing the oil earlier today and to my surpise noticed that one of the front springs has snapped. It is broken in exactly the same place as a thread Jeff put up back in April regarding seeing lots of cars with broken springs. Not something I can tackle myself, so will have to get a garage to do it. What sort of springs are out there, I'm quite happy with the way the car drives, it's using Tokico shocks which were replaced before i got the car and I've no reciepts in my history for springs, so assume they are older and standard, but not sure how to check if they are standard or lowered? Cheers guys.

Today was the day, she has sat on the drive for 2 years, whilst he sister got all the attention, prior to that, she did the south of France 4 times carp fishing with me, blew her engine up playing with a DB7 in France, had a transplant from Uno's old zed and was bought back to life, attended a few meets, and destroyed 99% of the chavs in sussex. I owned her for nearly 6 years, she never complained as it was always the drivers fault. As she supplied bits to help her older sister out, but to have no rust and a very good shell, i just couldnt bring myself to send her to the scrappy. I advertised her on here. But no one wanted her,lots of lookers but no home, poor fairlady…

I was wondering what too look for on a convertible 300zx any probs or upgrades i should be looking for ..

Car is running on 5 so after looking and playing around found out that I have no power from one of the coil pack leads. Changed the PTU but still nothing? Any help?

Hi I am refurbishing my Advan wheels and have removed the bolts in them, 160 in total, but sheared one of them. They are the 12 point flange bolt with dimple in the top, size M6 x 20mm Has anyone got any idea where I can get a stainless, zinc plate or titanium bolt or full set from. Want this as going anthracite with shiny bolts around. I have tried alibaba.com and got quoted $325 for 200 bolts (minimum order) plus shipping for titanium bolts but this is too expensive. Rob
