I've done a bit of searching on here and have found some info but not a lot I've got a pair of relatively unused GT 675RS tubs on the forged VG that I'm currently stripping in prep for a rebuild, but was wondering if it's worth replacing them with a pair of HKS 2530's I understand that the GT 675RS is Z1's own variation of the HKS 2530 but are there any major differences (apart from the price) lag etc? cheers

Finally after 2 years of work I managed to actually turn the key and see if my engine transplant worked. And........... she started in the time it took the fuel to run from the tank to the injectors :clap:. There was no farting, spluttering clonking tapping and more importantly no dodgy fumes coming out of the exhaust :thumbup: Still have a lot of work to do but I am so chuffed right now. The engine last ran when i went headfirst into a crashbarrier in my old jdm 2 years ago. It's been sat for a year and a half outside under a tarp, before I gave it a service and cam belt change. And to think, before I got my zed's I couldn't even change the oil in a car. It's bee…

Always an interesting day in the workshop, a not seen before item came to our attention, take a look at the engine photo of a n/a see if you can see anthing wrong, there had been a series of running issues caused by bad throttle balance poor temp sensor connection and det sensor issue, however there still remains two faults which are the direct cause of hestitation, very poor mpg, a constant bucking and miss firing feel when driving unless the lightest and slowest of throttle was used. Any guesses? Jeff TT

Guy guys guys...and gals, I have been looking around at what zeds are on the market these days and tbh I think I hit the epitome of stupidity, correct me if i'm wrong. I was looking online and came across a 300zx apparently named "zelda", named after a computer game...nice. Anyway, strosek front/rear ends, Ascari penta wheels and just the "norm" mods. and he wants 15k for it.....is it me or is that just a joke? I appreciate that people put their all into cars, a mate and I built a Focus mk1 V8 RWD, re-styled interior etc it cost 21k to build, but you don't expect to sell it for every penny you put in, you sell it according to how unique it is, i'm…

Please could you reply to my emails reference delivery on the seat rails as i still havent received them Marty

Does anybody know if the '99 spec spoiler offers any benefits aerodynamically or is it more for show?

What do you guys think of this: bidded on an item and won it fair and square, now seller has sent me this message: Item number: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220806540395?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3D220806540395%26_sacat%3D0%26_odkw%3D300zx%26_osacat%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp3286.c0.m270.l1313%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 Dear zedworld Hi, There appears to have been an error where the reserve has not kicked in. Clearly I cannot let this item go for that price so I can either refund you or we can agree a more realistic price.Let me know your thoughts.. regards Alan - mr-zed Jeff TT

spotted today at 1.45 at telford way roundabout.Has a vented nose panel..Anyone on here?????:detective:

Can anyone reccomend a wheel refurbish company ? Want to send pics and details for quotes. After starting on my first wheel, I've realised Im far too lazy !

Hi Guys, well as the title suggests, i found some plugs...Thing is i cant remember if i bought them whilst in ZED phase or MR2 phase of my life. They are NGK BKR6EK. any chance they are for a NA Auto?... Rich ps i did a search on spark plugs but kept getting a post that said "use the search"....:tongue_smilie:

Im guessing there not but thought i would check. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-STAGE-1-ECU-CHIP-Z32-VG30DETT-TWIN-TURBO-/230502915160?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35ab0b5c58

if i was to go for a Front mount IC would the standard bumper give enough air flow or would i need to upgrade to a 99 spec bumper? thanksss

took it down for MOT today, collecting tomorrow, it has done 20 miles since april 2008 and that was me collecting the car last friday. Wonder what its gonna fail on. What is common MOT failures on these cars

When i got my car, it had a wood look trim in it. Done by Rev1richie, liked by Ian, but wasn't to my taste. Rich got wind that i wasn't a fan, so sent me all the standard bits in exchange for these back. Box came today and i got on with changing it all over. Im very happy with it now, and with the bodyshop looming, im thinking i'll be keeping the car! Took it for a drive today, i'd forgot how nice it is to drive.... And fast!! Ignore the cubby hole missing under the stereo, it had a flip out screen but i took it out, now need the cubby hole thing.. And to put the turbo timer back in...

During this hot weather I was coasting down hill at about 20mph in 2nd gear and it starting to ploom blue smoke out of the exhausts as soon as accelerated the smoke cleared. I have had the PCV changed approx 2000 miles ago Cheers Guys, Dan

do these acctully do anything. i took mine off to get the the exhaust and snaped 3 of the bolts. so i thought feck it and threw it in the bin. That was about a year and a bit ago not driven my zed since till recently. do they make any differance. i cannot say because its been so long since i drove the zed? This one that Dave makes looks mint http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GZA-Nissan-300ZX-Lower-tie-brace-Fairlady-Z-/110710177315?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19c6d73e23

Has anyone got a pic off a tt engine not in place. I need a pic of the passenger side turbo. I need to see the oil feeds. think i have a leak from that area. anyone know if there easy to change??

any-one good with bov's? i have a set of HKSs ssqv's i salvaged from 2 of my old s13's. i fitted them just for fun the other day, they worked fine for the first few journeys, then i think ones stopped working, then the other now neither will go off, have checked them both have good vacumme lines and boost connections, car is holding boost and vacumme too, they just aren't going off, they aren't seized, noticed one the front diaphragm was off centre and the other was leaking, oiled and re fitted still nothing??? (leak stopped when refitted, and once oiled other was back in correct place.) any ideas??? TBH got good recirculates if necessary so am refitting t…

Having replaced my inner rear hicas ball joints I have noticed that my steering wheel is now slightly off when driving straight.:confused1: I don't know if it is my imagination, but I also feel as though she is crabbing to the left.:scared: Can anyone recommend a good wheel alignment centre near Coventry please. Thanks in advance, Redwine300
