Does anyone know what the temperature reaches at the top of the engine bay, just under the hood? Cheerz, Alz.

Followed you from the roundabout where the audi dealer is in shrewsbury towards wem, was hoping you'd give it some but think maybe the ex-police unmarked VXR i was in may have put you off? lol :oops:

(ive decide it will be far less hassel to get someone witha ramp to do it for me) i found some little bits of surface rust, one penny sized chunk about a foot away from the rear seat. and a luittkle surface rust on the back of the sill by the rear wheel not into the actual sill itself. grrrr best sort that all out befiore it spreads! on a positive note that wa all i found. i even gave the sill a good poke about to check for soft spots

Help does anyone know where zedwizz has got to I'm in desperate need of a twin turbo manual flywheel and he has two can someone who has his number contact me with it please my conversion is up the creek without it thanks.

Going to be getting the rear quarter body work repaired next month, had a awesome quote for the repair plus respray of the offending panel, and hes going to sort my front bumper out so it fits properly. so all thoughts of getting a new 300zx now have gone.. Then going to be getting the cash together for the full body respray, will replace my drivers door with the dent in it for the one on my breaker before it goes for the respray, hoping to get it all done before JAE, think the only thing that isnt going to get sorted out in time for JAE will be the alloy refurb. Really cant wait to get her looking back to how she should.

Don't laugh but i have a Nissan Largo, i would like to know if there is anything on the market to convert a Z Manual gearbox into a cable or rod control one. The reason i ask is because the Largo runs the same 300Z auto gearbox. The problem i have is too much power for an auto gearbox and no way of controlling it. I have done the first KA24DE Turbo conversion in the UK and although it might be able to handle the 500+ Hp it will not control very well with the massive amount of Torque. If i could bolt on a Manual G Box and figure out how to run cable's to the gearstick that would be great, it's not that hard to fit a clutch pedal and master cylinder etc but my engine is…

Hi all, How easy is an electronic boost control to fit and where does it fit to? Cheers

Just going to pick up my Z, IT PASSED TODAY WITH NO ADVISARIES, another year on the road, and now I can see where I am going having new Hid,s fitted, Hooorayyyyyyyyyyy Cheerz Chris

Was in a Shogun going between offices so couldn't make myself known. \o

First zed i've seen in ages! Was it any of you lot? :dance:

Morning Gents Your help please if you will...... I took My ZX out for a short trot last night. Parked it up at the shop for a couple of minutes. When I went back to it and tried to start it, it wouldn't turn over. Dash lights came on but the starter didn't engage. As I had luckily parked it on a hill, I bump started it and drove it home. When I got home and turned the engine off there was a loud 'whirring' noise coming from under the bonnet. As you look at the front of the car it seemed to be coming from the back left hand side low down. I've disconnected the battery now to prevent any further damage. When i disconnected the battery the noise fad…

Do not hesitate , i recived my 89spec spoiler the otherday and i was amazed by the high quality of the fit , this guy is highly recommened also a nice guy thats easy to deal with . will get some pics up when its properly fitted >

Well, im at a point now with my zed that i thought i'd be close to finishing it and enjoying the summer, but its not to be.. After getting it all up and running, mot'd and taxed, its smoking.. Changed the pcv valves and its still smoking. The turbos were rebuilt before fitting them, but the engine was secondhand. Ive spoken to a few people, (inc Jeff and Jamie) and piston rings sound like a possibility. Thats no small job, and with it needing a respray and the interior tidying, should i stop now and buy a ready built zed??

Ive got an NA rear axle so no system. but ive still got the actuator thing in the engine bay. Not needed so i was wondering what can be removed. Its still got the pipes dangling at the back of the car. If its not being used is it still in the fluid loop (will it have stuff in) What can i do with the excess wiring. TIA Mark

No matter how much I try I can't do this!! Somebody help me please :blushing:

Hi all, What a pain in the arse i fitted my fuel tank ages ago and just needed to fit the fuel pipe on but had lost the screws that i also found again tonight:thumbup1: Anyway mine doesnt line up correct! Is the flexi pipe ment to flex because mines fixed? Is there an easy way to fit the pipe or am i doing something totally wrong here haha.

What do you lot think of this 300zx on Pistonheads, anyone know the car, what about the claimed hp, unrealistically high? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2738982.htm

I'm a bit confused about these. Japspeed say that they are for NA Manuals only and 2fast2cool2 say that they are for TT or NA manuals but don't fit standard precats :confused1: What's the real deal with these? I want them to decat my TT manual :chef:, will they fit "out of the box"or do they need fettling? It's making my brain hurt :online2long:
