Ive heard that no.6 injector can suffer from low fuel pressure due to being the last one on the rail and furthest from the fuel feed inlet.......and was wondering if there is any advantage to blocking the the original fuel inlet on the rail and introducing a tee-piece into the hose that joins the two sides of the rail at the front, so theoritically both sides of the rail are feed from a central point and the pressure should be fairly equal on both sides........discuss :)

Ok, I am toying with the idea of removing the a/c from my zed. I am looking to remove as much as possible from the engine to make it less busy and a bit more presentable. Now how much of a difference is there between having it and not? ( in terms of components in the bay? ). I really enjoy having air con on my daily, but i reckon i can live without it on the zed. After all if it's hot then i can just whip off the targa's. Also another contribuing indecision on removing it is the fact that my zed has only done 48k, and i don't plan on putting mega miles on it. So would removing the air con have a massive effect on value? Cheers in advance

Just wondering if anyone has fit another car calipers that will fit the zed with mods.???? Ive got the skylines bremos off 350z is there any other which i can get on my zed ??ty jay

Ive ran out of ideas and just not sure what would suit the car now! Im wondering if you guys have any ideas? Would like to carry on with the Carbon theme but that makes the search even harder..I dont really want a massive spoiler but not afraid of trying something different. In need of some inspiration as ive over thinked this and fried my brain. Ideas?......Thanks Dan

May i ask what the rep power is all about? Ive done a search to see if the question had been asked but didnt find anything? Thanks Dan

HI Since converting my z from auto to manual my engine manigment light has been on , it has not effected the running or starting is this common and is there a fix

Had some terrible weather today, whilst I was at work the wifes Vectra is now a total loss as it got fully submerged. The Zed was garaged but took a fair bit of water as well, managed to get it started and it drives and runs fine, but has a few inches of water in it. Are there any drain holes I can open to get the worst of the water out before getting it cleaned up?

SHE PASSED!! No advisories either. Well chuffed to say the least, considering previous years. :dance::dance::dance:

Saw this and thought of you:biggrin: http://cars.jdm-ottawa.com/jdm-nissan-fairlady-z-300zx/#

Grey L-reg UK model with 99spec rears spotted twice in the last couple of days by Friends in Bristol.

Firstly let me say thankyou to Yewcheck, who kindly donated a door catch. It was received in the post today, however true to our Royal Mail postal service, it came in a little plastic bag, with a printed appology on it as shown below: Today I managed to get the door card of the drivers door, to start looking at exactly what the problem was. I found it was the catch which is directly attached to the lock and a true pain in the butt to reach. Nonetheless, I managed to locate it and remove the problem catch as shown below: As you can see at the top of the clip, it should be a complete circle, which attaches to the back of the "key hole". Unfortunatel…

Hi all, Z's been sleeping for 5years (due to a whole range of circumstances) in a cozy dry garage, but now it's time to finally get it back on the road, just wondered what you'd suggest i check out/change before i try and drive somewhere for an MOT, and also what'd be good to have serviced on it after 5 years of sleep. Cheers David

Some of you may have seen I've done a manual conversion on my NA with an engine change at the same time. The car turns over but will not start as I'm getting no spark. I have noticed though that the power light is flashing and wondered if thats normal in a conversion and what it means? i've done a search and found it means autobox fault, have I missed some wiring somewhere or something? I haven't done the reverse light wiring or ECU pin 44 ground yet maybe thats why?

....well tea and bacon sarnies actually :biggrin: Ok, does anybody fancy helping me finish off a few jobs on my zed today (Friday)??? If it can be sorted in time (I'm leaving 10am sharp on Saturday) it's being used by Luke Fink in round 2 of Drift Allstars this Sunday, but needs a few things sorting to get it to comply with comp regs. if you can lend a hand it would be much appreciated Mobile: (07789) 488020 cheers Pez

After removing the turbo I found this oil line next to the pressure sender cut off and crimped over. Can anyone tell me where it should go and have a picture of what it should look like as I can't find it in the service manual Cheers

And it seems to have worked :) Treated the targa seals with ground nut oil as per advice on here, its raining and no drips....well not till I get in lol

Only when car is warmed up, level ground or slightly facing downhill. I have had pcv valves fitted but it still does it, if I bring the revs up a bit to say 1500rpm it stops smoking...

I need some ideas for mine... and I know you lot need no excuse to show off your 'bay :punk:

ever wanted to show of your car ... with the a turbo sound ... well get a load of this crap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Saber-EDV-Dump-Valve-Simulator-Fits-Blitz-HKS-Bailey-/150712078259?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item231723cfb3 [video=youtube_share;u1jpJppnseI]
