The FD had a T88 single turbo conversion but had no filter, just a wire mesh cover now I've seen a few drag cars run without filters and I'm aware of the issues that could result from foreign debris entering into the turbo inlet and I know that the zed's turbos sit really low in the engine bay and may not be best placed for this practice however, has anybody on here considered the benefits of running filterless turbos (at least for a few blasts as Santa Pod)?

Picked up a few bits from concept z when I was in San Francisco the other day. Unfortunately I could only get small stuff to fit in my case otherwise I would've had loads off them. The centre console speaker is from eBay.com. They shipped everything out the next day, great service, wish I'd got more stuff now. Also included a few picks of the Golden Gate Bridge, looks great in the fog. http://s1134.beta.photobucket.com/user/tmogsy/library/concept%20z

As above please discuss :)

Water bypass...EGR gone...now next i want to make this crankcase venting thing simple in the form of tossing the PCV valves into next doors garden and all its crap that goes with it and have a catch can for the 2 cam cover breathers near the throttle bodies venting to the ozone layer old school style,so the only thing going into the plenum is fuel and fresh air. Would you like to discuss:yes:

Pretty speechless at the moment but I woke up to this...

Its a lovely day for it so today im going to put on drivers side side skirt hopefully and ill try get some photos for tonight, hope it stays dry>

So mine doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix it or what the possible problems might be? The wing mirror heaters are working ok. For info it's a jap '93

As title describes PCV succesfully fitted very tight in there though but no smoking on idle :) happy days. Also heater matrix is leaking so I have TEMPORARILY bypassed it succesfully, but due to heater pipe kinking when bent, I had to use a metre due to angles of pipes!! made it look neat though, next A/C pump removal!! Anyone every done this??

I have purchased a Zenon front bumper however without the lights. Where could I get some and I have also heard that MX5 lights will fit is this true? Cheers

OUt of curiosity, the three sensors attached to the manual gearbox, what is it they do?

Whats the easiest way of getting the old seal out please? Couple of self tappers or take out the housing holding it in place? Cheers

Wondering if skyline r32 gtst coilovers will fit on my lwb jap tt??

looking for any advise anyone will give as my car seems to be plagued with problems and as soon as i try and sort one, another comes up, really getting fed up with it now..... all started as an auto and converted it to manual, new 6 puck clutch, light flywheel, full oil and filter change and fluids all round, i have changed the ECU for a spl racing one, dual cone filter, big core ally rad and silicone hoses, SS decat exhaust jap speed end cans, other than that its just cosmetic changes... since doing the changes its now idling at 2k rpm and the viscous fan stays on from the first turn of the key and its really smokey through the exhausts on idle looks simelar to ste…

Mine is missing (?) not sure when , where or how but it's not in there anymore Would the fact that this is missing be the cause of my not having any brake lights at all? *in fact the lights have gone a bit manic at the moment, the inicators work but flash quickly, the headlights are on full beam only (irrespective of switch position, no side lights in either position) This car needs to have a word with itself or else it's going down range and getting fragged!!!

I've just had a close up inspection of the pair of turbos that are sat on my workbench and there seems to be a bit of a difference inside in as much as the one propellor looks to be smaller than the other? both move freely with no play whatsoever but this one looks to be slightly larger than this one They are both GT675RS... any ideas?

My SWB TT came from the factory with the new electric HICAS and therefore was fitted with an NA power steering pump rather than the usual TT power steering pump with hydraulic HICAS solonoid/TT PAS pot etc. The electric HICAS has since been removed and I've noted that there is not a PAS cooler fitted to these models as standard. I've now mounted a PAS cooler but am trying to determine the correct connection points on the NA power steering pump for the two hose connections that run to the cooler. Could somebody post up a pic if their NA power steering pump showing where the PAS cooler hose connections are please thanks

Just out of interest more than anything (because the ABS is going anyway) I'm trying to figure what is up with the ABS system on my SWB. Ever since swapping the stock rears for 6 pots the pedal feel is really soft, in fact the brakes near as damn it don't work. Now the brakes have been bled thoroughly (twice) and all is fitted correctly (new copper washers and banjo bolts etc) but there seems to be something up with the ABS unit behind the drivers seat. When the engine is ticking over and the brake pedal is pressed, the revs drop ever so slightly by a few hundred RPM. The brake pedal is really soft and there seems to be a quiet hiss sound coming from the ABS unit be…

I have a problem with audio noise. I have installed indiglo dials from http://www.moman.pl . I have a bit of dynamo noise, but the real problem is noise when I turn on the lights - that would be the indiglo dials that goes on. When the audio is on I get a high pitch noise that is constant. Anyone have any good ideas..... - tried running phonocabels outside the car - did not help - tried earthing the amp do a different place. Also directly from battery- did not help - tried another amp - same problem - tried remove the cd-player - when moving the player I sometimes got tid of the noise - earth together maybe?

Hi I have Nissan 300zx and I am thinking off pulling the engine out to fit my GT2860 tubs! Other than a PCV kit replace and an airfilter I haven't performed any kind of mechanical work on my zed, so has anyone on here ever taken their engine out??? Just want a bit of feedback to see what i'm up against

Is anybody on here running a pair of HKS GT2510 turbos? and what power figures could be expected as I'm informed that they are quite a bit smaller than 2530's/GT675RS for example
