.............car will not crank! I guess its because the car thinks its in park,would I be correct! and if so what do we need to do ? We can run live feed to the starter and there's no probs there. This is not for my car by the way:blink: Dave

I've just been browsing Z1 and came across this: http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=3986 I used to run a twin filter setup, though the single MAF, but it idled quite roughly, although after doing some research there's mention of fitting an idle assist that balances the air out across the two sides of the engine to avoid lumpy idling. However this setup looks quite good - the ECU doesn't need mapping like it does with some other twin solutions, and the description claims it's pretty much plug-and-play, and also easily reversible. Anyone running one? I noticed (adl) phoenix started a thread recently about where to buy one.

Hi there, my timer doesnt work anymore. he Shows only 0_0 does anyone know what that means? Thanks, Patrick

Hey guys anyone use one of these on there 300? They seem a real good bit kit

Id like advice from forum members Which brake kit is the best value for money? I'm expecting to be running just short of 400bhp at the wheels when I get it finished so I need advice . What is the most adequate brake setup for this power level? I've looked into recon my calipers and upgrade disks and pads Looked at brembos from the skyline Looked at the expensive big brake kits most the uk traders are selling What would on your experience be the most suitable setup I'm looking for the most cost effective, but if I'd be best with the more expensive setup then I'll find the extra cash So guys what do you think blow a shitload or don't bother and just…

they get sick of forum or did sales die on em?

im wanting a flip or rage paint job,not sure of flip colour but base diamond black with a flip,probably an orange fleck. hopefully i can get someone like pps peter from sunderland/peterlee,anyone have his number he may be able to recomend someone as last time a seen him he was just selling parts from a shop in sunderland and had packed the spraying work in. thanks jay

as i used to sell here carbon parts for the zed (neperformance ltd)ive been looking at this carbon wrapping. anyone bought this stuff? just wondered if its better or not than the real carbon parts i used to sell.cheers jay

Having a debate with my mind latley. I love my zx but i think my age is showing through. Im not feeling the need or want for the rock hard drive that i have and are thinking of selling and getting a 350z. But keep thinking that as soon as it goes i will regret it. Ive been to hell and back getting it back on the road and have put almost 20k in her in mods and repairs. I know another 4k will probably see it finished but really dont know if i should keep putting money in or just sell as it is.

Yep - as stated above - after 5 months she's alive again! 1 - when cold iddles fine, when warm -jumps from 800 to 1100 rpm up and down? 2 - slow acceleration response (when acceleration pressed fast - around half second/second gap, when slowly - no gap) ...? 3 - fitted PTU model 2 (brand new) - no ignition, fitted back make 1 - good to go .. why? Is there someone with Conzult in London?

Saw you two :)

they look the same and are half the price? and available off the shelf. im gonna try and compare them upclose to check but atm it looks like they are the same, which also makes them the same as a huge long list of nissans.

Hi guys, Soooo..... I have a NA 1995 z. The oil pressure needle always hangs just below 4. (as a general rule) The other day it went from 4 to 0 once the engine had warmed up. NOW from reading the other posts I know this could be indicative of the sensor being know for being s**t. Checked the dip stick, there's oil, temp is normal, no warning lights etc etc, engine sounds great (as it always does...) Took it for a quick rag today, THE NEEDLE HAS GONE! One minute it was there, next time I look it's just not there..... I've looked real close, it's either off the scale or has dropped off?????? Thoughts please???? Many thanks, Adam

sorry yet another question... got my engine in today (well sort of) spent ages getting the sub-frame back on as it wouldn't line up??? (has now though) its lined up with the auto box and on one of the mounts. has anyone got any suggestions on how to get it onto the second mount? its about an inch to the left of the hole (looking at front of the car) ive tried various lever-bars and lifting the engine in different ways, even tried swearing loudly at it... but it wont go on???? this should be my last question as plan to have it running again tommorow.

Just to start with can we stick to combined pressure or it just gets confusing. So is 20-22psi ok on stock setup? Because in a few weeks that's what I'll have. I've done my research and most say that after 28psi you need to seriously start thinking about internals. So I thought a 3-4 psi increase each turbo wasn't over the top. But should give me that little extra kick. And I was just wondering what other people where running. Before anyone asks one of my turbos is shot and while I was changing them I thought I might as well do a few mods and get a little more power. I should be getting 400bhp @ flywheel at this pressure . . . if my maths is rig…

Hi peeps! Ive fitted some oem 300zx wheels to my mr2 turbo with 205/45/ & 225/45 tyres. The wheels l got are from a turbo model. Or at least they where sold as turbo wheels & had 205/55/& 225/50 tyres fitted. So it seemed to add up. My understanding is that the N/A 300zx wheels are all the same width while the turbos have wider rear rims. Which is what l need for the mr2. My 225 tyres look perfect but the 205 tyres look slightly stretch. Whats the standard tyres sizes as im just wondering if l have 4 rear rims? Or as standard do the fronts look a little stretch when compared to the rears? Many thanks.

Was good to see you again today and catch up, now to get the gearbox fitted :D

can anyone tell me if this is definately the right oil filter for my 90 na zed? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-2008-K-N-SPORT-OIL-FILTER-NISSAN-300ZX-3-0L-V6-84-96-/380321018199?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item588ce63157#ht_6879wt_113 if not can some one suggest the right one for me please.

Can anyone advise me as to removing the horizontal external window trim that runs from under the wing mirror to the far edge of the drivers side door please? All I have found so far is a small plastic type rivet behind a piece of tape on the inside of the door close to the edge, can not figure out how to release it though.

AndyP if u see this Please PM/reply to this or any one know his number can you text him for me please Mark

And it looks exactly the same I hear you say...... Well..... yeah...... however, I just got it back today after having it fully rust mastered underneath, fully treated and under sealed to keep any tin worm away. I must say the finish on it is excellent, and I'll get some pictures up of the results in the next few weeks, also Nick at rust master (knutsford) and his team were excellent and more than happy to make a fuss over a typical car enthusiast, certainly recommend them to anyone thinking of getting their car protected. Aside that it's the first picture I've put up of my z33 clean so it serves two purposes. Hope you all like, but if you are anti z33 plea…

spotted the 300zx.co.uk sticker in the back, was doing a job at my mates house this morn in highfield place

o.k. their poor pics and needs another sand and paint, but does this color scheme look a bit much? just decided that next time i break down on a show stand i wont be too embarrassed opening the bonnet no comment on the fact my engine not on a stand the bloody gearbox bolts are too short to fit through the mount:blush:

anyone else found this job to be a complete and utter pig! ive been fart arsing about with it for two hours. and got no where, having another crack at it tomorrow so if anyone has any usefull tips on how to do this please share them with me. cheers
