Can anyone tell me what rpm at 70mph should a Manual N/A be doing, my rev counter is showing 3000 rpm, that seems a little high to me. Cheers Paul

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can buy new door hinges? but not from Nissan. Hop you all have a good weekend! ;)

As part of the final stage of development on the Turbonoz Z32, still on stock Auto turbos & injectors but with a Nismo adjustable FPR: 447.6bhp & 462.1lbft Flywheel 389.2whp & 420.1lbft Wheels Still on 2" IC pipework, stock turbo elbows & manifolds. At the dyno now, will update if it goes higher. Turbos have nothing left to give: Peaking to 1.45 bar and holding 1.2 bar to the redline. Lots of fuelling left, solid as a rock & very repeatable. Might upgrade the FMIC & pipework, otherwise this is it until larger injectors & turbos. For information: my last 1/4 mile run of 12.74@111mph was done at 415.4bhp. FINAL RES…

Might have asked before but anyone recommend the correct tyre pressures for these fitment tyres please front 235x40x18 rears 265x35x18

Hey Guys, Would the R32 Top Front Camber Arms fit the 300zx? They seem to look the same?

Hi all,does anyone know of a good rolling road in the east surrey/crawley area.I bought 300zx last week and want to get a look at what sort of power its producing.its a twin turbo,auto with as far as im aware a piggy back ecu,variable boost and can be fitted with de cat pipes. Also and this has probbly been asked a zillion times before whats the best way to squeeze more power,maybe going to 400 hp as a first stage

Just been looking at the site at the timetable and looks like a few changes this year i.e dragon boat racing, an event tent with disco and karaoke! Who's up for a bit of row row ya boat then??? Lol

Anybody got some tips for cleaning up a plenum? Had a go with autosol and scouring pad last week, but wasnt very succesful.....

Had a cutting out issue with my 2+2 TT Auto that eventually proved to be the MAF. During my investigation of the fault I replaced the fuel filter, as this was a cheap task and I had just bought the car and couldn't verify how new the current one was.... The filter however looked brand new. It was also a lot bigger than stock as the clamp fixing it to the inner wing would not go around it properly. I am now wondering if there is an advantage in having an 'oversized' fuel filter? I do not know the history of the vehicle (injector sizes, performance tweaks etc) but it seems pretty stock from what I can see.....

Right, could you fit a set of ET 40 and ET 45 wheels on a zed and if so anything needing to be done? or why they fill the arches or would i need spacers? just a question as seen some lovely alloys (not that id be getting them just yet) but would in interesting to see if they would need anything.

Is this semi synthetic ok for gearbox and diff oil, I have been advised so. Thanks, Dan

Ok guys, currently speaking to Groover about becoming a trader for 'Cleaning products'. I can supply the usual like Autoglym and Meguiars, but can also supply Poorboys full range ( used alot by the VW guys ). Now the main question is what brands etc do you use? I will be looking at supplying Dodo Juice in the near future but in order to get this off the ground quickly i was hoping to get an idea of what you guys use and what you would try etc. Regards Greig

been thinking of changing my bulbs over to the l.e.d type same fitting just leds anyone done this i see they sell on ebay

As the title states, another blue smoke thread. I have read through some of the previous threads about this but haven't really got anywhere. My issue is.... When I start up from cold I get a little bit of smoke, this continues for about 5 mins of no boost. Once warmed up and boosts for the first time, I see more smoke but then after that its all gone. Is this down to the turbos or something else?

2 years ago, my tax ran out of the zed, sorned it, and started doing various jobs, whilst trying to save cash and doing all the jobs myself, ive replaced with new interior, suspension, and loads of other stuff. BUT MY Main issue was removing the veilside skirts, and it opened a can of worms. rot in the sills, targas draining into them and what started as small areas of rust soon developed into nasty stuff. After choping it all out, it was getting very worrying, as i thought this is the end of a very late spec UK TT Manual. But after a bit of time, i replaced the inner sills and returns with new, and had them welded up. so at least the inside stuff was goo…

anyone know the capacities for the oil change with the filter for my uk tt 1994

Hi, I thought this would be easy to find out, but turns out it isn't...or least not for me! Will a 500Kg engine hoist happily hold an NA engine?

Not really sure where to begin as it was a extremely long day! Anyways here it goes. (Warning it will be a bit long) Got a train from London to Zed world around 5 A.M and got there for around 8.30 am to collect the car, had couple of things fixed crank seal, under seal, consult and general assessment so drove away with a clean bill of health. Drove around 50 miles to get started with the remap and tune by Noel (turboNoz) Managed to get there for around 9:40am. First impressions Noel was a top guy, easy going and easy to work with. I have to mention that he did a BIG favour (under statement) me by doing a one day tune up as he normally keeps the car for a few da…

Hello, When i put my head near gas/cluth/brale pedals i hear something like a air leak. But from where? I look there and i dont have any idea where are from this sound comes... PS. and its not a sound from speaker ;)

I have got horrendous steering wheel shake when braking hard. Is this worn bush related? If so which ones? And where is the best place to get? Thanks, Dan
