How do i adjust the idle speed as it ticks over at 1500 is there a screw somewhere?thanks.

Does anyone know we're the white wire goes ?

Thought I had sorted my starting problems, but again this morning it took ages to start, once started its fine and ticks over nicely :) It was parked in my garage last night? so I`m still only assuming its something to do with cold start? any help would be appreciated , thanks

Just a big thanks to AndyP who got me out my bed this morning from the sound of the postman chapping my door to drop off two JAE tickets ! Many thanks.:clap:

Had a little local meet, caught up with vodkashots... and couldnt help but like this shot of Audrey!

So today I drove over 200 miles down to Wellington and I contacted Lee Dent just to go and meet some forum members etc. Lee offered to have a look over my car before I go to get it tuned by john dixon tomorrow. Lee was very hospitable and fed me and my orher half with a few drinks of coffee and We had a great time talking about cars. Lee helped me do a smoke test and we found 1 very small boost leak which got sorted very quickly, he also had a general look around the engine and car. Got the car in the air and took the plastics off to sort out my washer pumps (replaced with the ones mark sent me the other day). Also sorted me with some exhaust hangers. All …

Was it you .............. about 16:15 on the stone road towards stafford, i was flashing the lights in a black Audi

These two haven't seen much attention since I started to tinker with the 300, so gave them a bit of a spruce up today :) Enjoy :)

right i was looking for two things regarding this, advice on how to proceed with the rebuild, and a list of parts or consumables Il need to do the job gaskets etc etc. so after looking into rebuilds cost seem to run from around £200 to £350 each tub. rebuild kits are around £100 for a genuine garrett kit. plus £63 to balance so around £163 per tub id be perfectly happy to rebuild my tubs myself, as after doing a bit of reading them seem very similar internally to the water pumps i build at work on a regular basis, so i feel i could handle this. although for the saving of about £40 a side the stress and risk dont seem particularly worth it. that £40 is worth it f…

[ATTACH=CONFIG]65858[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65857[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65856[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65859[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]65860[/ATTACH]Update.... Today i painted the roof black, not too bad, but will be even better once flatted and mopped.

Saw you yesterday on the a446, just pulled out a petrol station going up a hill, you stopped at a set of lights. I was the guy in the white van that pipped and gave you the thumbs up. Maroon, polished wheels, silver front lights, very clean, looked lovely. :thumbup:

Anyone know the part numbers or where else I could purchase the bulbs for the heater control pod? Mine has a few bulbs out [manual controls] basically the red/blue [hot/cold] symbols bond light up, p,us the fan speed numbers and direction of flow.

Can anyone recommend some sexy wheel nuts? Sad pehaps, but my new rims arrived yesterday and i need some nuts to compliment them (hold the jokes please lol) I found a cracking set and have just found them with the power of google. Volk Racing.... £300 :asshole: They nice, but not £300 nice.

Went and picked up my new zed yesterday, mucho respect to Richard smith for that, and what a fantastic AMG he has, me wanty First off a question, did OEM injectors ever come in the color purple as thats what colour my injectors are. Right now thats out the way, 2 kinda major issues. I have no headlights, you turn the dial on, i get no dash lights and no head lights, no rear lights, but i have full beam only, so most likely dodgy wiring connection of some sort. Right i have a hunting idle, the car (i have to check first) is supposed to have 555 nismo injectors, z1 uprated ECU, it has racelogic traction control plumbed in and a HKS turbo timer and EBC t…

I'm finally going to get the car tuned by john dixon on Saturday. So I thought it might be nice for people to guess what power I will come back with (providing it doesn't go tits up) So a basic run down on the spec that'll probably make a difference... Forged internals - eagle rods etc etc Greddy td05 16G turbos 740cc nismo injectors AMS Underdrive pulley New splitfire coilpacks All the usual stuff like air filter and exhaust etc. Southbend clutch and RPS segmented flywheel Can't remember all the other basic stuff So come on guess away. Feel free to ask if anything else is done

Anyone on here who is capable of installing a falcon EVO4+ Pager Alarm with Remote Starter? I managed get hold of one from a friend and i dont think i will be able to do it myself. So anyone? :)

i've recently had an engine fitted and i'm now having electrical problems since the fitting, zedworld and zedcentre seem 2think the loom has being damaged in the process is there anyone in the middlesbrough area who knows what they are doin!!!. also having problems with abs, abs ecu indicates 9 lights (motor relay), i have changed relays on unit and also tested them and they are working fine so i then changed the unit and still getting nine lights on ecu, ive also tested the abs with a second abs ecu and that still states nine lights, any ideas??????.

Wierd??, drove the car out of my garage on Tuesday and started 1st time as it always does, got in it last night and she wouldn't fire and flattened the battery trying :( stuck it on charge all day and tried it again now and nothing :blink:, she turns over fine, immobiliser is off, all dash lights normal, smells a bit petrol`ie` but always does, any suggestions??? :blink: Its never ever not started :(

Just noticed today that, the rear heated window switch that's on the coupe/Targa models, looks like a heated mirror symbol on mine, is this the case? Also, there is a black thin line that runs across the top of the front window, then down the middle to the bottom of the screen, whats this for?

At least I think they are! They keep falling off. Need to buy a new set does anyone know if it's the 60 degree taper nuts? I have stock wheels and brakes and it's an n/a. Thanks

Thinking of getting one of these, does anybody know the weight of a z engine? Dave

Does anybody have any hints/tips/recommended products for cleaning/polishing/protecting chrome wheels. Ta

A short time ago...yesterday :) I was working at one of my customers houses and her friend was round to visit (late 60`s) Barbara (my customer) introduced me and said I was the builder... bla,bla, Barbara said ohhhhh you should see Darren`s car, it`s lovely, black and convertible!! the lady said oh what is it? I said well you wont have heard of one but its a 300zx convertible, she laughed out loud and said, "never heard of one"???My bloody husband never stops going on about his long lost baby!!!! I frowned? she said, they bought brand new!!! 17 years ago a white 300zx tt from Nissan in Southport!! No way, I said, we chatted about them for a while and he has only ever had …
