My car is all back together, havent been for a drive as yet...but been letting it idle a few times to get the air out of the system and check for leaks etc. The car ticks over lovely....then all of a sudden will dip down to around 600 revs then picks up again! Any thoughts on this, or is it a case of just giving it a bit of a run! Dave

How much would you expect to pay for a second car to bomb about in. My daily run around car a little 200series rover the bloody head gasget went today so im thinking im not going to down the route of throwing good money at it,as its an old car and proberly would cost me4. 5 hundred quid to put right. Then i had a great idea? over a year ago itried to puchase a 300zx nontub auto from this bloke i know from work for about a grand. he always wanted 12 hundred. his car has never let him down and always flew through mots every year but he never used it hardly. today i text him saying ill give you 500 golden nuggets for it, thinking he wont even ring me back. but then he rang…

Summary So i started the small project of tidying up my 300zx, hopefully im going to get the interior back to its original state mabeye a small bit of retrimming, all water tight and new t bar seals, take suspension off clean and maintain any bushes around the suspension, led lamps all round and other small bits on the car which can be appretiated to happen from the age of the vehicle. i am doing a small report to get advice on certain jobs and problems. i will be starting with the simpler stuff such as interior and water ingress trouble before getting bigger items done such as brakes or engine work. Problems Boosting problem water ingress flickering…

Anybody seen or heard from him ??. He advertised some parts for sale but as yet I have received no further response. Thanks Sayers

been out with my black box

At highcross near staining, blackpool, only got a glimpse as I was driving past, but looked quite smart!

i am sure that there is probably a thread like this already but i couldn't find it, so started another. I have just been watching a film called Macgrubber (quite amusing so far if you like films like hot shots etc) and i saw a familiar car in the back ground so took this poor quality pic on my phone for all to see. if you see any more zeds in films then i think there should be a sticky thread for all to see in the future.

Right currently have my car for sale, but im wondering if It would be worth my while painting it and maybe a couple of other bits and bobs. If I was to paint it I would also send my ecu to noz and have him chip it and maybe fit some new downpipes. Oh and sort out the stance. Now my question is I suppose is if I was to do all that how much could I realistically ask for it?? On my phone just now so cant add the link but pictures can be found on my for sale thread.

Has anyboy ever got this done? Need some feed back as there is an offer on it over here.

Just got my car running after fitting new turbos and noticed a take off on the bottom of the balance bar on the passengers side, just above idle control valve open or "pipe-less" is this because I have done an egr delete? have blanked it now and all seems ok! Dave

Hi!, Now I am change the inyectors to DeatschWerks one´s, but I don´t know what is the ground pin and the "ECU" pin in the inyector. Could you help me? Thanks Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

As you can imagine since my turbos parted ways with there seal, ive been looking in the rear view mirror for smoke as much as the road infront waiting to see what happens. early reports were good did a few 5 mile round trips etc, at first there was a fair bit of smoke but then it died down, eventually the last few of those small journey's nothing. Which I was very happy with, yesterday I took it for a blat up the dual carriage way and back to see what it did again pulling well no smoke etc etc. So today I took it for a proper drive, I drove it for about 2/2.5 hours covering about 80 miles of mixed driving and full throttle acceleration through several gears. So real…

Hi white 300 with rear light conversion, Milton Keynes city centre around 11.30 lady driving.

Just bought one off eBay, £17 :) Apparently it's mapped for exhaust and intake upgrade, and 14psi, how can I check this and any other advice chaps :) Bought it off "beermonster65", anyone dealt with this user or are they on here ? Cheers

Hi guys Over the winter my Zed has had a rushing water/sloshing sound coming from somewhere behind me when cornering. When I had the MOT the tester said he thought there was water in the sills which is making the noise. Made sense to me, I've had a leak from my targas, and as far as I am aware the targa drain pipes go down and out through the sills. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the matter, and if anyone could advise me on how to check for water down there? Cheers John

could you check your PM's ref the parts you posted about in my wanted thread. Cheers :)

Hi guys who likes my shelter lol, This is how not to work on your zed, The o no not again bit is I started my engine bay again, ive welded all the seams up on the passenger side now. And started both sides again, gonna make it smooth so welded all the holes where u bolt fuse box and power steering pot. Got rid of hicas so that nasty thing has gone too. I'll get some closer pics up tomorrow, when ive sanded some of the filler I put on so badly lol. Was gonna relocate fuse box to where my aircon pump use to be and power steering bottle under nose panel. Anyone else done similar, got any advice or better ideas, or even better so…

there are certain songs that you remember, that when heard, you can still picture a moment in time when the song was playing, such as a me being on a club 18-30 holiday in greece, messing around with a Swedish nurse and blur boys and girls was playing. get the idea!! On my way home shakira hips dont lie plays on the radio, next thing its like im put back in time a few years ago, driving on the express route from rouen to chartres in france in my zed, when a DB7 zooms past beeping his horn, red flag to a bull, and im off, flashing him to get out of the way and 145, he pulls over and to prove a point i floor it, next thing i remember is lots of smoke, engine making a t…

Hi guys got a problem...my car keeps eating battery power! I've fully charged 2 different batteries now, one from my old zed and a new one and after 3 days its totally dead, not even enough juice to unlock the doors or for the alarm led!! I don't use the car, I stuck a new battery on, started and moved the car and 3 days later nadda! My alarm siren don't work, I have a separate siren with battery back up which looks kaput, its a Clifford alarm, would that be what's killing my battery? Biggest problem as the doors don't open with the key so have to climb through the boot, any ideas guys?? Cheers
