Alex & Mike came round to mine earlier to get some bits and I kind of roped them into swapping my engine :whistling: The car has sat untouched since mid september, I'd unbolted (almost) everything at the time and tried and tried to get the engine out but then gave up with it after a list of difficulties. But now the old engine is out and the new engine sat in the bay, so just needs plumbing in! Saved me an awful lot of hassle and swearing, so massive thanks guyZ :thumbup1:

can these be fitted without removing the engine? and if so does anyone know someone that can. i dont mind traveling as long as its no more than 100 miles. these are the items in question. http://www.japspeed.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX/Nissan-300ZX/Nissan-300ZX-Turbo-Decat-Downpipes/p-18-1-248/

what are the benefits etc apart from pms and being able to view subscribed threads ? also whats in the welcome pack please as i still have me 300zx lanyard but its looking a bit tired now :euro:

got my car back from zedworld today. They've put a better exhaust on, (ta pyronut) fitted a chip and done a few other odds n ends. He was great to start with but now he's sooooooo much better!! :biggrin:

Hi all ive just bought a manual conversion and was wondering if theres anyone in the south east london area who could help out doing the conversion or even a garage that comes recommended? (id take it to zedworld but its a bit of a mission from were i am) I dont mind getting my hands dirty and can easily get my hands on a ramp but having never done one before im not sure what id be letting myself in for!! cheers for the help Nick

Hi Just had my car tuned with nismo on E85. I got 422 rwhp and about 550nm torque. The person that tune the car said the injetors maxed out at 1 bar (615cc). Isn't that a bit low for the injectors to be maxed out at 1 bar and 422 rwhp? Nismo was used when tuned. fast listing includes engine rebuild set from z1 gt600r turbos from z1 nismo 615cc z1 smic doolz forged internals 2.5" exhaust all the way He said there were some problems with nismo. He was not sure if it was software or hardware? He said he should send me the log... Just have to wait for that. What do you guys think? isn't it a bit ow with 422rwhp on E85

got my hands on some Normal Turbos i know i can get them recon .. but all so thinking about hybrids has any one done this and what type of power could i get from them ? or does any one know that parts to use ... Midland turbos any good ?

In case anyone is interested. I came across this whilst browsing for bits and bobs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-manual-/220869466030?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item336cd897ae

I know a few of you guys with pearl white Zeds were looking for some panels etc, well the car that was supposed to be having my old NA engine has appeared on ebay for breaking, located in Lincoln. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260868298603

think its an autowatch, goes off every time i set it straight away. dosent lock the doors, and i cant lock it with key cos the dam clip has broke! checked the wires in a split eye ultrasonic but they seem ok

I do normally go throught the FAQ's to get my answers but im in a lazy mood today! :sleep1::sleep1::sleep1: Anyway what i wanted to know is what i need to buy in order to fit coil overs the correct way? ie camber adjusting arms etc...... Also are there kits that do it all for me?

Hi, Im in need of somebody who has a lot more knowledge than me about the software. Ive been having trouble loading a Base map thats been adjusted to suit my car that i think has been done to V 1.19. Looking at the error coming up on my ECU ive got the software V 1.21 Is it possible to convert the map to V 1.21? Im guessing this could be the problem. Ive been searching the AEM forum and im not getting anywhere.

As above, tried but cannot see how! Dave

Hi chaps, I am nearing the end of an engine rebuild. I will be running an AEM EMS. However, during the run in stage i thought it would be best to run a chipped ECU, then move onto the EMS when all is fine and dandy. Is this necessary? If so, i have another little query. The car was originally a manual NA. So i have a manual NA ECU. I also have a UK auto TT ECU. The car will be a manual TT. If chipped, can i use either of these ECUs? And finally, where can i get said chip? (bear in mind this will only be used for about 1k miles so i dont wanna pay silly bucks) I can post spec if necessary Thanks

I just phoned up regarding an insurance quote on my '91 Fairlady ZX Twin Turbo Auto, and was staggered to hear the price. Sex: Female Age: 25 NCB: 2 Insurer: Footman James Price: £239.40 Of course this is classic insurance, but it's fully comprehensive SDP&C with 3000 miles a year. Anyone got some recommendations of other companies at all? Thanks

My turn to put a link up to an ebay Z, but only to highlight 2 points, I reckon its a very good price for the car and should sell pretty quick! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-Z-3-0-V6-REPAIR-/180734531476?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a149e1794 Point 1:- Well f**k me, I've had a very good low mileage NA engine on ebay now for a couple of months, a few watchers but no bidders, starting price of £250!! :cursing: How did they come to the price of £1300?! :sneaky2: Point 2:- Looks like they bought the wheels from this previous forum thread, I'm sure a few here will remember :lol: :rockon: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/sho…

I have bought one of the nissan consults from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Consult-300ZX-Skyline-180SX-Micra-Cable-Tool-/190581579477?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item2c5f8c1ed5 but none of my laptops have the right connector in the back so would one of these do the trick?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-RS232-SERIAL-DB9-9-PIN-ADAPTER-CABLE-GPS-PDA-/270491516064?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item3efa8cfca0

Went to use my rear fog lights last night and they didn't illuminate!! Mine is a UK Z which comes with them as standard... Always used to work and last night the fog light indicator on the dash lights up when pressing the switch but the rears arn't comming on! The bulbs are fine as I've checked them today and also the 20AMP fuse in the drivers footwell is ok as well... Anything else I could check that anyone knows of please that could be causing them not to come on!! Thanks very much!
