Just after some more information on the above. My fuel pump at the minute just pumps constantly without varying speed, (although it sometimes struggles when the revs are hunting really bad). I think I remember Jeff saying it was because the fuel pump ecu will have been shorted out due to it not working. So am i right in saying that if I buy another one (such as the one black magic is selling) and then replace mine the fuel pump will run normally and I'd get rid of the constant whining noise???? Anybody fitted one of these? because i wouldn't even know where it goes. As always any help is greatly appreciated.

I think this used to be TheVeterans? Back up for sale pretty quickly, probably couldn't keep it going on juice! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3309302.htm Always one of my favourites as it looked so smooth and not OTT!

Hi all, does anyone know the diameter of the pipe for the targa drain tubes, the ones that go down into the front footwell? I think these must shrink with age, mine no longer reaches the connection at the bottom so want to buy some pipe and sort it.

Hey you guys im brand new and if you dont mind me asking i am currently looking at a 300zx 1992 with 115,000mi's on it i need to know what normally goes wrong with the 300zx's thanks!

Hi guys, I know this has been covered but none of the usual suspects apply. I did have a sizeable leak in the exhaust but I had help from a guy on Angelsey, modifying the exhaust so that it now lines up perfectly. He does custom exhaust builds and mods to a very high standard if anyone is interested. There should be no overfuelling, I'm running the same tune as I did on my previous engine without any popping. I don't see how it could be an intake leak as this would lead to unmetered air and therefore lean if anything. It's making good boost anyway so I'm confident it's all sealed up nicely. It runs well, not perfectly smooth at idle, but I do have a lightened fl…

My zed has gone through a total makeover, since sorning it in March, I removed bits that i just wasnt happy wit. The skirt were the main problem, as they were hiding all manner of issues, lots of rot. after removing all the crud it was apparent the skirts had caused most of it. So any free time i could get, i would do a bit more, to make it all good. Making new panels from the inside out. Next was the high level wings west spoiler, once i got if off and repaired the back end, it has a brand new fibreglass OEM spoiler and brake light. Then the rear arches were a concern, slight bubbling on the drivers side, removed all the dead metal, and repaired. The passengers i…

As above, ive been after one of these for a few years, but couldnt warrant the price they are new, so managed to grab this bargain, which im really happy with. It feels slightly less chunky than my old Momo, but it looks great :drool:

I know theres are people out there making the stock lights LED, but i'm looking into some mars performance ones, but there are no pictures of what they actually look like on a car and google images seems to be failing me. :helpsmilie: these are the lights. if anybody has fitted these or can find a pic that would be great to see them on a car in daylight. Cheers

Hi, I'm trying to confirm a part number and the parts catalog I've found isn't helping much. Due to brittle and leaking fuel pipes I've almost replaced all of them on the car now but one in particular is leaking a little but its the one at the front of the engine between the 2 fuel rails and I can't get to it without removing the throttle assemblies. What I mean by that is there are the 2 butterflies on the front of the plenum which are connected to each other and to the throttle and Cruise cables. I think this is right one. Anyone confirm? http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=105&amp…

Who has had their prop balanced after fitting the manual half for the conversion, and how much did it cost? If you had vibration previously, did it cure it? Tudor...

I was a little worried my car had developed an issue recently, so today I took it to Zedworld and recieved their world-class helpfullness and hospitality yet again. As it turned out there wasn't any issue at all - everything is in fine fettle, but at least now my mind has been put at rest. Despite being there over an hour, Jeff refused to take a penny off me. I cannot think of another garage/business who would be this helpful and kind. I know you can't expect this kind of treatment everytime you visit Zedworld, but I can honestly say I wouldn't take my car anywhere else! Jeff and the team have done it again, so many, many thanks to you all. All the best, Leo

As above. The clutch is on it's way out, but apart from a bit of slipping now and again, gear change is fine, so doesn't really need to be replaced immediately however I've noticed recently that there's an annoying metalic grinding noise, especially when in nuetral at slow speeds (ie. when slowing down at traffic lights) Initially I thought that it might be that the brake pads had worn down and would need replacing (that's what the grinding noise reminds me of) but they are all fine, with plenty of pad left on them. I had a look underneath this evening and didn't find anything unusual. The exhaust system looks pretty much new from front to rear though …

The instructions to put the HICAS in diagnostic mode specify putting the car in neutral, is this just to prevent the wheels from turning, or is it needed for the diagnostic procedure? The reason I ask, is I didn't connect up the neutral switch when I did my manual conversion, I just adjusted the timing accordingly...

IIRC, there are a few letters, or memos etc. that people have printed out and taken with them to their MOT, I think one to do with emissions, and maybe one to do with a small amount of play in a ball joint or something? After 5 and a half years, I shall be taking her for an MOT this week :) I was wondering if anyone has a link to any, or all of these things, I would like to take as much ammunition with me as possible to ensure a pass :) Cheers, Tudor...

Saw it today launching from a set of traffic lights along with a green 406 coupe, nice looking car, had the targa panels off, btw if was you and you knew the guy in the 406, he hit one of the vespas!!

Saw it today in Leek, Staffordshire, LWB tt, UK I think, standard looking car...
