Well I read in the paper today that the EU are trying to put in place that all cars in the UK to be completely standard ( as they came out of the factory) in order to pass an MOT, this includes wheels, exhausts and lights etc... any modifications whatsoever. This could effect over 28,000 enthusiasts/workers let alone us guys who go about our daily fix of modding. Wondering what are your views on this subject and could you see it being enforced?

I've been getting poor mileage lately and the car hasn't felt as sprightly as it should. So I hooked up my Consult and found that the near-side lambda sensor was 'stuck' at 0.2 volts, reporting a constant lean condition so the ECU was overfueling one bank during closed loop operation. A normal lambda sensor should fluctuate from 0.1v to 0.9v roughly once every 2 seconds on idle. So if you're getting poor mileage and are a bit down on power yet with no DTCs, don't rule out a shonky lambda sensor :thumbup1: I hate OEM lambda control with a passion so rather than bother fitting a new sensor, it's now completely deactivated in my ECU :ninja:

I have had it off the road for the last year as developed a problem with intermittant loss of power. Need someone to work on it who knows what to do as Nissan have had no luck finding the problem Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Well 10 years ago today I bought my 300ZX Twin Turbo!! Had many a happy time with it, lots of highs and lots of lows but above all its been my daily drive for the past 10 years!! Yes I have spent lots of money on it but not as most as some, the main thing for me was and still is to keep it maintained and running well. Love it and it will love you back!! Done lots of tasty performance mods along the way without compromising reliability... I owe a lot to this forum with members past and present and I thank each and everyone of you for all your more than helpful advice. I've learnt a lot about these cars within 10years of ownership. The Z is one of the greatest drives ever, …

Bought Dave's Zed the other day, would've posted sooner but I have been making the very most of the sun :D I'm not sure how much Dave wrote about it (Her!) but it's a UK TT manual J reg with a few goodies. I've got no immediate plans, but going to look into tidying her up, Dave told me about a few things that I'll probably try to fix: Centre Prop bearing could do with a change Targas leak gearbox crunches when driving hard 3/4 (He told me you could get a gearbox oil that helped this, anyone know what it is?) Aircon disconnected (will probably leave this) Drivers seat a tad worn and loose connection on electrics. Paint co…

As title, when paying on the gate for a single day on the club stand its £30 right? do any passengers have to pay £30 also or do they pay the £10? reason I ask is Jamie will be with me and it will be £20 cheaper for him to get out and pay as a walk in £10? Any thoughts Jeff

Hi folks Another day, another problem! Yesterday I fitted my speedo converter, with the help of these forums, and everything seemed okay. I went for a few short drives, played with all the switches and buttons on the dash and declared the job well done. When I got back from the pub last night I sat in front of my house and decided to play with the lights, and make sure they all checked out okay. I was turning them on and off, getting out, checking the bulbs and stuff, when suddenly I lost all power to the whole car. I got back in and shut the door, and all the power came back for about 2 minutes, then went again. The car is totally dead, and I had left…

Back end behind both rear wheels rotting away although not an MOT failure would like to sort. Can anyone recommend a welder around Manchester or Cheshire area?

Has anyone fitted one of these to a 300ZX? On 1st inspection doesn't look like enough room to house the filter with MAF adapter and rubber pipe connector? Any help appreciated.

I'm after some gauges that look look similar to the OEM dials in the dash. Does anyone know of any manufacturers that make them. I've found some made by smiths international which I quite like: However, I don't really like the range in the water gauge going to 150 as it renders most of the scale pointless and the nominal operating temp will sit low down in the scale. They sell this style which has a much better scale but I don't really like the fact that they don't match the boost gauge with the full sweep: What do you reckon? Any other manufacturers that make something similar? CheerZ

Need a ECU temp sensor plug, as both cars that are working required one, so ive got the one off my blue car on the black one, but need one for the other zed.

my headlights look old and dim is there anyway of refurbing the rubber trim around the headlights?

Well i had big expectations of myself to get the car painted in time for JAE, but after refettling the body work and fitting stuff, as per, i ran out of time. I redid the whole back end as there will little cracks and lines in the bumper, so thats primed, re did the front bumper, what a mess that was in. 99 spec, bumper had caught a curb and split at the bottom, so had to repair that then fit the new lip, but primered at least. Did the roof bars black, but im going to re do them when i get back as im not happy. I did take out the headlights and painted the cross member and behind the lights, so i managed to get some colour on it, but ive had enough after 2 w…
