like the title says do you use one ? if so what one is it or recommend

it feels slow its currently an auto i tested it today and it took a full 4 seconds to go from a rolling 30mph in d to 60mph considering the car is supposed to do a 0-60 in 5 and half it doesnt seem very good. its super fast once it gets going but it just seems to take a life time to get going. ive mentioned before it also feels like clutch slip obviously that isnt whats happening cos thers no clutch. but you can boot it and the revs hit the roof and you go no faster. grrrrrrrrrrr.

Guy,s just found this, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKYLINE-R32-R33-R34-300ZX-350Z-UNIVERSAL-TOP-SECRET-STYLE-REAR-DIFFUSER-BLACK-/140735529095?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20c47dc087 I know its not the TWINZ ONE lol,but looks good to me and not having to wait years to get one lol Cheerz Chris.

Having had the sub-frame out, along with replacing inner and outer HICAS track rods and ball joints. I thought it best to check the alignment of the rear wheels. So I have bought one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390427020071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Is there anything I need to know so as to get good results? or do I just drive over the thing and adjust accordingly? Really do not want to set the rear end up wrong so any advise would be very much appreciated.

bought a set of these off sumopower on wednsday.now the pack and the lable state z32 300zx but do the fit..do they f00k..female connectors on both ends..now am i missing somthing here thanks

sounds simple enough, but as its the ECU loom im going to be faffing with, would rather know how to go about doing it, getting annoyed with feeling something isn't quite right with the timing, car seems lumpy ish so may as well do this correctly so i can then set the timing correctly as well to rule that out.

Probably worth more than the zed!!!

Is there any way to check if the MAF is working properly or not? I had it out today out I have a feeling it might have got wet recently. Also where's best to buy them?

thats that done ..booked the hotel for Friday and saturday at the heaves Hall for the Lakez meet..29th - 30th June anyone else going on here ?? .......ill be taking my new camera so loads of pictures when i get back..... me the missus and my little white terrier and one fat assed zed

So what's happening with this dibs in selling parts? As I called dibs and it got ignored and a mod bought the parts. Does this not stand anymore? Just so I know for next time when dibs are called ill just ignore and proceed to buy even if he or she is online to close the deal. I was waiting for a price so could not close the deal so called dibs.

I'm looking to buy a set of 19s, importing from Japan. Its pretty important i get the size spot on. So i reckon 8.5" up front. Will 10" be ok at the rear without major work? Bolt pattern 5x 114.3 So, what offset should i go for?

Hi bud, Am i right in thinking you have used JapanDyno to import wheels etc?? I've only recently realised how many bits and bobs are over there lol. I've always been put off by the language barrier. Anyhoos, there are a few things i'm after including a new set of rims. Would you recommend him. We've sent a few emails back and forth and he seems like a nice fella. Just looking for some reassurance before forking out a couple k for some wheels - i know the experience you have had with the RX7 Thanks

i know my cherry red zed never did this, so wondering if this is because timing or something, but noticed when i accelerate, get to speed, if i come off the gas, the car kinda quitly pops and gurgles like you hear race cars do, if i coast in gear with foot off the clutch like im letting the engine slow the car, it does it but feels like the car is trying to "bunny hop" (like when a new driver doesnt quite pull off right). not sure im explaining this correctly, if i hold the throttle at the speed i want, it doesnt happen, if i floor it, i have to hold on, so its definitely not down on power, im just wonder if this is "pinging" that i hear about, but cant seem to find…

Guys, Looking for some ideas on placement of my gauges i have ordered. Were have you all located yours? Pics if at all possible please. Cheers in advance

On the way with changing my turbo's and was just wondering if anyone knew what transmission oil to use? As I might as well change it while I'm at it. Is 75W-90 Semi Synthetic alright? Thanks in advance :laugh:

Anyone's Zed in Kream Developments (Rainham)? Just saw it today ...

the last couple of times ive been out, the speedo has dropped to zero for about 10 minutes then come back. this latest time, the hicas warning light also came on. Not the best when you're trundling up the motorway! hicas light went out when i turned the ignition on and off. So! are these related? anything to worry about? coupled to the fact my central locking and parking sensors are duff and i keep getting dripped on, my niggle list is growing :sad:

Changed my brake discs today and dispite finding I had bought the wrong pads, I saw the pass side front tyre was badly worn on the inside edge. I have been waiting for an excuse to get some Eagles on the front but obviously the tracking needs setting to. The car is lowered on Teins and has 18inch wheels. Can anyone tell me the optimum settings to tell my garage? Toe in, out, camber, caster? I have a fully adjustable set up. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Ive got a leak on my drivers targa, nothing strange there you say. Ive followed Jeffs write up in the FAQ section and it still leaks. Ive taken a couple of pics to show where the water is getting in, could the targa seal be goosed? Cheers, Rob Not the best pic, the targa is to the top of the pic.

As soon as the products show in stock I will be ordering from twinchip. If anyone else is planning on doing the same and fancy combining postage, let me know :)

Also love how he has mounted the number plate, very original considering the rear lights he has on it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL-LOW-MILEAGE-/160821978560?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2571bca5c0

What size do I need? Just been in halfrauds and and a 10mm fit but was £15. Then when I was looking at some of the sockets the 10 was too small

Hi there all, Can someone post a pic of where the arch liner meets the front bumper please? Refitted mine after having the bumper off and blatantly not put it back together properly LOL. Cheers, Rob

Just got the car towed back to mine (glad its a manual now lol), was driving along, big pop out of the rear of the exhaust as the electrics died, had absolutely no power at the side of the road so couldn't even stick me hazards on. Anyway get it home, playing with the positive battery terminal, seems someone who owned the car had extended the wire at some point and this seems to of worked its self loose, most likely when i was doing the gearbox, joining it back up correctly gives me lights to the dash but the car wont crank now. there is no noise at the starter motor, no clicking or anything. ive checked all fuses in the engine bay and they are all ok any one g…

what is it and where shall i put it?
