At some point my car has been converted from auto to manual. I noticed that the engine ecu has automatic written on it. Is there any difference in the engine ecu's, could this be why my engine is playing up?

My Twin turbo z seems to be running way too rich, at around 5000rpm I lose power then it kicks back in. The exhaust is very fumey, smell definately petrol I would say. Can anyone tell me where to start?

Hi. I am currently struggling to find a clutch for a N/A manual. they aint cheap either! Read in Gonzo12c for sale list the above part.. a box modified to take a (cheap and plentiful) TT clutch. Can anyone lets me on to how or what is done? Cheers.

Hi wondered if anyone has ever had their friction plate material renewed,..... with a company similar to this? http://www.industrial-friction.com/ I have read on the internet plenty of people who have had this done and the cost seems to be £45 - £55. Pros/Cons

I think it is anyway...! A friend and I went to the nurburgring last week. We came back on Friday, but before we left we went for another watch and got talking to a lad with a Black astra VXR on UK plates he was a sqaudy and also had a VW camper van on german plates. We were talking about cars as you do and got around to 300zx's, which i said to him "if you remember those" he looked at me funny and said yeah, i towed one away for scrapping the other day. Now I thought thats strange, and asked was it red and wet inside, as to which he replied yeah and the owners name was Rob... Cant be a coincidence surely?!

just taken my son to a gig try getting this in a 5 piece drum kit

I've got 18" wheels so maybe ths space saver wouldn't work anyway? I was thinking about LPGing it which would get rid of the spare all together. Are there any alternative solutions if you do get a puncture? I've used the foam aerosols before on a motorbike and they're ok but not brilliant (don't work well in the wet, only a temporary solution). Is there anything better out there?

Well coming from the 'VW scene' I buy into the less is more attitude when it comes to cars, Even more so when it comes to the engine bay. Now obviously the 'jap/300zx scene' is a bit different but is there any 300's out the with a very minimalist engine bay?? Cheers in advance

Its only took me a year but today me and Gordy (zhoodyx) drove up to glasgow to get some bits from sandy's breakers. Plan was to actually head up and pick up another dash but ended up bringing to bumbers. Luckily the weather was great as we drove 30+ miles back with the targas off and two bumbers squeezed into the back of my TT. Anyways heres the bumbers finally fitted to the NA I'm sure gordy will post up a pic of what my TT looked like when we drove back but if you can imagine the size of standard bumpers and we squeezed front and back in the boot (although not fully closed) !

I'm changing all the front bits on the engine. I have striped it all and replaced all 4 cam seals but I can get the crank gear of to replace this seal. Thoughts???? I'm not sure how to even get behind it to pull it off. I would like to change it as EVERYTHING else is being replaced. I have the bits to place the back plate and gear. I did read about cutting it off but that looks like it could go wrong. Should I just leave it??? Thanks.

One zed, roof off windows down, nothing like it on the road, All i can say is wow what a machine, enough said :cool3:

My second son was born on Friday so I'm considering my options. I've had my Z since 2004, I was the first UK owner. I bought it from Auto BMC in Watford. It's a genuine '99, S-reg, Skyline Metalic Purple, NA, auto, velour interior, impresive late spec. Just over 80,000 miles, about 50,000 done by me. Standard except: Ace Turbine staggered width 18" wheels, stainless Japspeed exhausts, HID headlights, Sony CD/MP3/Radio with upgraded speakers all round, Apexi air filter, upgraded suspension all round (KYB/Eibach adjustable I think) fitted about 10,000 miles ago. FSH, cambelt done at about 50k, serviced last week by Zedworld with the brief "If something n…

had to whip out the high speed response vehicle earlier to get some urgent tractor bits to a customer earlier today. (any excuse for a drive lol) so had to thrash from wrexham to denbigh through some amazing roads in the welsh countryside :-) on the way i passed,,,,,,,, a bunch of mechanics standing outside their garage one of whom shouted "Bloody hell lads, come look at this! that things amazing! bet it goes like the clappers!" as i was stopped by them. "It does!!!" i replied :-) numerous scantily clad ladies, a couple of them shouted things like "fancy taking me for a spin" etc etc etc (dont think they saw me lol, just the car lol) 2 skylines in c…

This thread is to gauge the interest in buying a module to enable the mirrors on a JDM zed to auto fold and open utilising the ignition/key. The switch can be used as normal, so will not affect it working manually, but have been asked many a time about the facility to auto fold. Will also work in conjunction with a turbo timer:punk: I have had an email from an avid Jap car owner who has made the modules that will work with our JDM mirror switches and will auto fold when the key in the ignition is turned off and will open again when the key is turned. Im looking at having it operate utilising the door solenoids to open and fold using the key fob. Here are …

I have a Blitz spec S EBC not Type R , the solenoids differ , i need to know what port i should connect the vac hoses to , the type S has 3 stabbings and no markings at all , the type R has two , in and out, i am unable to find detail on line so i am hoping somebody here may be able to assist thanks Sayers
