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

Hi, im trying to replace the rear power steering pipes that come from the rear steering rack. Iv got the fuel tank of but its still difficult to see where they go!

I have toyo proxes t1r on one zed and eagle f1 on the other Its time for new boots all round :sweatdrop: From all the differnt tyres i've had i think i'm going with toyo ( partly due to the limited selection in stock uk rear size) For my slicktop (17") as i do the ocasional track day, but it is still a daily drive car, i'm wondering about the various toyo proxes available: Toyo proxes T1R Toyo proxes T1 sport Toyo proxes R1R I like the comfort and softness of my current T1R but have no experience of the others Has any one tried any of the other toyos? The toyo brochure is very good at telling you what is good about each tyre, but it…

Hi John can you Give me a call please on 07794015646 its urgent .. as tried emailing you but dont think there getting to you Mark

Put my car in to Jamie at evotune in Durham. As the zed says he is an evo specialist but having all sorts of problems getting the suspension and geometry set up so thought why not give him a call and ask.. Fantastic service and car is running superb... Got loads of useful info from him as well about the Dyno, mapping, engine builds etc... For the Northern Guys, definately worth a call if you need anything doing... Hes own evo is something special as well, race car with about £120K in it so far... Top Guy...

When I have the windows down and the targas off, When I shut the drivers side door it sounds awful!! a bit like putting the lid on an old style steel dustbin. Embarrassing when people are about, sounds cr*p. Is there a fix? Seems a lot better when the window is fully closed though?

Anyone ever considered doing this to their car?

got my engine out now..... what can i bin/ not re-install? already bypass the plenum water pipes, and the EGR. det sensors long since broken so is gone. is there anything else i can do to clean things up under there?

Hi Guys, As most of you know im not the best mechanically but learning quickly... Ive changed discs and pads on the front and now they squeal intermittently when brakes applied.. What causes it and how do i stop it? Cheers

Came flying past a farm this afternoon and spotted a bright red zed besides a barn, very nice, was it you?

Hi mates I'm trying to find out the standard spring size (for front 300zx swb suspension spring)in the range of height and diameter,for springs on the Internet just say how much there lowered by Thanks

I have recently changed the dash in my swb n/a import but now the rear lights stay on like they have a live feed to them, the only way to turn them of is disconnect the battery, any ideas? Earthing maybe?

When I take the zed to a car wash, I keep getting wet lol. I've stuff the ends of the rubber trim down properly, checked the targa drains but the water still comes in down the edge of the window. I'm wondering, could the windows not be sitting against the rubber right for some reason? I doubt it matters but I don't have the top door catches on my zed. Any ideas on fixing it?

anyone no where i can get the lightweight pulley set in the uk..not ebay...luke is out for a while so need uk supplier,cant wait on the states shipping .cheers jay

Hi Scott, Did you get the chrome pas pot matey? Alz.
