Hi Guys Have started to polish the Plenum (so slooooow!) and will then move on to the throttle bodies and linkage. How do you super polishers get into the nooks and crannys of the throttle body? Any help appreciated. Cheers Martin

Hi guys, just wanted to ask..................

It's there now. I don't think I recognise it

Paint or vinyl wrap?? Whats peoples thoughts on the 2options? I know that realistically paint would be the natural option but would a vinyl wrap really be worth the money over a paint job? Personnally ive always wanted a mirror chrome candy apple red paint job. Starting at the bottom as chrome effeft then fading into chrome candy red and back to chrome at the top. In paint this would be around the 6-8k price mark. So if the same effect was say 2-3k in a vinyl wrap with a 10yr life span would it be worth it and would it look as good?.

Heres one for you all to help with can anyone tell me why my car horn goes off on its own only when it rains, There nothing fcuking worse than being in your bed asleep when at 3am in the morning you hear a car horn going off and trust me at that time of day its bloody loud. Like I said this only happens when its raining alot and the only way I can stop it is to pull the fuse from the fuse box under the bonnet/hood. So any Idears or even better how do I sort it

My car is down at Lee Dents in Shrewsbury, amongst lots of pics he sends me, this one is making my pulse race a tad :clap: The guy does seem to know what he's doing :biggrin:

.............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.
