I know I'm not subbed, and I know it isn't much, and I'm on here all the time because I frickin' love the place, but money is a travesty at the moment... Anyways, I was wondering if someone could please PM Paulbrem for me, with this email address : dirtytudor @ hotmail . co . uk and ask him to send me his home address, he was wonderful enough to lend me a part from his engine at daft O'clock in the morning, and I still have his replacement, but have lost his number due to a change of phone... And if someone does, could you post on here and say, so that he doesn't get loads of the same PMs :) And, this thread can be binned after someone has, many thanks, Tud…

Looking for a bit of info on any HKS turbos available for the 300zx. The GT2530s are obviously fairly popular. But does anyone have any info on the GT2510s and 2510s? I have scrolled tinternet and cant find much info at all. There seems to be a bit on Twinturbo.net but i just cant figure that site out. I'm basically after the spec for the above turbos. I assume the Gt2510s and 2510 are fundamentally the same, but the GTs being BB? How does these compare with stock? Are there any more HKS turbos? Does anybody run these, have any experience with these? Sorry for the 20 questions. Thanks

What do you think is better? I'm starting to think tr uk rear bumper with the fog lights in it looks best. I currently have the fogs in the read clusters

well i was thinking of selling up, advertised a few places aswell, but everytime somebody phoned for the car i found myself trying to put them off and rejecting all offers.... so clear to say deep down i didnt want rid, cant think of a car id rather have in all honesty, so its here to stay... so anybody know any good classic insurance companys?:shuriken:

My z`s battery has just lately started to let me down, well at least I am assuming it is the battery, a quick jump from another car starts it up, is there a way I can rule out a bad alternator or something that may be drainign the battery? Dont want to replace it if there is no need. Thanks guys, Dan

Hopefully this is just a sticky needle... A week or so ago the boost guage stuck on zero, car drove fine so I took it to a road where I could get some boost action to make try and nudge the needle but nothing happened. Later that day after the engine had been off and on a few ties it just went back to normal. Been fine since, til yesterday when it happened again and now wont budge back or forward, sitting just past the zero mark. Any suggestions, is this just a sticky needle or sign of something more sinister? had a look under the bonnet, found one cracked hose and sorted that. There is another which seems to have been tapped off poorly but its always …

After Mark's thread I'm wondering if I've installed my SBC correctly. Have a look at this link; http://www.xspeed.com.au/manuals/Blitz_SBC_i-D_manual.pdf I installed it via the TT actuator way (page 3) but should I have done it the external wastegate wa (p4)? Help got myself confused over this. lol

ok i have a HKS controller i have seen this link here http://www.zmods.org/index.php?page=profec_b but a few things look a little odd can some one confirm that the 300zx is a Single Port actuator i'm 100% it is .. all so when taking off the electronic safety soliond i will be left with just pipe coming from actuator ... both of the actuators get plumbed togeather then to the Control unit ? then do i take a Vac from Throttle boddy like it says in my hks manual or can i take it from balence bar ? all so the two original wast gate pipes to the main boost pipes up front do u plumb them together then on to the control unit ? hope this is r…

Hi all, I'm going away on Friday till mid November, need to 'store' my 300ZX and 350Z. What is the best way to store the batteries? In the bay disconnected or remove completely? Any other tips would be good. Cheers

To run alongside the Z I have picked up a S14 auto which will be my 2nd project. I had been planning to build the Z with big power and for track action but decided against extreme tack action as I don't think it's right to strip it and ruin a good cruiser. So the S14 will get the full stripping and extreme track prep. Starting removing the T28 turbo, loom an ECU which is sold and has covered 2/3 of the cost of the car :yes: Next to go will be the ABS and the engine which is knocking alot along with the auto slush box, then the front and rear subframes for some rust treatment and car undersealing. As I can't do much to the Z until it comes off the road after Trax the…

well the new zed was up to get it's first mot last week and got a phone call at 4 today saying it failed the mot only on the horn and rear brake pads no big deal easy enough to put right have a new set of pads sitting here anyway. So I carry on with my work and my mechanic phones me back half an hour later bad news he says all I thought was what else has it failed on now, however no the police were round while the car was at the mot centre on Sunday morning the place got broke into as did my car and 4 others, things I know that's gone are my touchscreen tv and DVD player going up tomorrow to find out what else only other thing I know I had in the car was the polished slam…

Hi, Just got my clutch sorted and to be honest most of been splipping from the day I got it because for a a big motor it bloody quick lol, quicker then I thought it would be for a standard zed, so really happy now just need to get the body work sorted. Mark:-)

Hi guys, Looking at options to replace my smokey tubs and am after some advice. I've looked at the Z1 products but not too sure which would be best. Will be for road use with the odd trip to the nurburgring or track day, I'm not looking at upgrading the engine internals so massive tubs are not an option. I've looked at the option of using a pair of T28's, these are labelled as replacements for the 200SX, would these fit a 300? I also don't want to spend a fortune on them either, the wife is already spending my Afghanistan bonus and turbos ain't on her list LOL. Cheers, Rob

As you all aware Nissan keep on implimenting bizare prize increases for zed spares, we tend to buy in bulk due to this to protect us and customers, however even we cannot avoid the increases eventually, today we received our normal stock order to find water temp senors have just had an increase from £23.42 to £49.07 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! each.....flipping ridiculous after the Vat is added thats £58.88, what the hell are Nissan thinking??

Hey All, Just trying to get my zed up together and I just wanted to ask the following: 1. My gear lever doesn't return back to the central position - if i wiggle it in neutral it either stays left or right, almost like there is no spring or anything. 2. My ABS light is permanently on - any ideas? 3. Wheres the best place to get roof seals? Ta

I have a greddy system in my TT, it was there when I brought the car some 4 years ago and I have never understood it, however having had a health check done on the turbos and the car, the performance is being governed by this system. I am running standard turbos (I think) on 555 injectors because apparently the engine was re-built to a higher spec. (Please dont ask me to what as I have no paperwork on it at all)...long story. Can anyone help me with what I can start with on the settings, like a base setting I suppose please? Thanks everyone.

Does anyone have a spare coil pack for a 1992 UK spec manual tt. I have had my mechanic round and we have located the issue of the missfiring, It is the coil pack on the rear right of the engine as you look at it from the front. It is nearly 20 years old now and if they are original they have done very well...lol Thank you

As above, anyone know what size the bolts are that secure the throttle cable cover? Thanks peeps :yinyang:
