Hi all, im just tinkering in the garage on the car trying to sort the one thing i cant fix, high idle! ive just warmed car up to normal temp and have a reading of 3.4 Kohms which i believe is to high and shoould be down to about 0.38 or something? is it time for a new ECU temp sendor? ive set the TPS up set base idle to 500rpm with the AAC yellow connector discomnected. when i plug it back in it jumps up to 900rpm cleaned throttle bodies cleaned air regulator and reads 75 Kohms (which is normal) reset Ecu cleaned AAC inside Im running out of what it could be? cheers James

hi all just replaced my pcv valves and hoses with some silicone ones from z1 anybody got any tips on how to change the rear one with the engine in?

Think my clutch is going to need changing. its slipping in 4th and 5th when the boost kicks in. revs go up, but no difference in speed. and no loss of control so tyres are gripping still. Jeff looks like ill be getting one of them lovely clutches off you at some point this year mate. will be taking it steady at the moment so as not to make it worse than what it is. oh well, thats me racing police cars out for the next few months lol

Hey guys, after the thread i started awhile ago asking for the bhp advice i've decided what i want to go for as the final aim. I was going to start the work now but because i want to go to japfest i've decided to delay it until june so i do everything properly and at one time only, should be finished by mid/end of july as i've only got saturdays and sundays to work on it. I will post pics here of the parts and the engine rebuilding when i start, Like i mentioned in the other thread my aim is 500+ at the flywheel . Final Spec: 615 injectors Intercoolers Pulleys Chip (will only be used until i can get ryan to remap my Ems) Aem ems Koni suspensi…

Hi, I know you get what you pay for but just wondered if any one has used or know anybody who as used one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320650732029 cheers Mark

I've been advised that UK spec door cards can be altered to accommodate the seatbelts fitted in the doors of Jap spec cars. Anyone else carried out such a modification and, if so, how difficult is it? Cheers as ever.

guys whats the exact door speaker size for a 300zx im just going to halfords to get some cheers

I am guessing not. both are auto tt. Have a nasty speedo clock on mine that i want to swap. can i just drop the whole clock set in or do i just need to swap over the actual dial ? prefer the later as it keeps mielage etc as it should be. Thanks

Seen you turning on onto wembley way, looked like a LWB and had multi-spoke rims

After pulling the seat out and removing the accelerator pedal, bonnet release and the trim (thanks to Jeff TT's guide) I went about removing the fuse box, in a hope to solve my electrical issues by fixing the drain line.... However, the fuse box was bone dry...even dusty... ...but at least I've ruled this out as a problem. Ok, first off I think I'm missing a couple fuses, based on other pics I've seen of the fuse box, but this might be for things I don't have (i.e HICAS and Cruise). I did find this plug, it looks like it used to be attached to something, I really want to plug it into something, but after a dig around there isn't anywhere t…

Thought id post a few pics of the build up to date! What do you think? Im not sure if there is to much black going on on the body

Saw a very shiny Zx pulled over on the Stoke Hammond By-pass (MKeynes/Bletchley to Leighton Buzzard/Bedford). I almost spun back at the next round-a-bout thinking to chat to you but the AA man you had with you seemed to be stood well away up the banking. Was it about to explode? Did it explode? Maybe it had already exploded? I feel for you cos that's the place where you might have been extending ones right digits(lets say). :sad:

As above

I couldn,t help myself , i walked round the back of the house with dusty hands , the missus was stood there with a black top on and .................. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Thank fook , i,m sick of rubbing the stuff down ! lol Got the N/S finished , gonna get some primer on it tomorrow :hyper: Also took the bumpers to work to get there final coats of primer on , on the rear there,s a Greddy Gracer rear skirt on it so i,ve blended that in . It feels like i,m getting somewhere with it now :thumbup1:

I've undone the the 6 allen key bolts and the 2 centre bearing carrier bolts and it slid out of the gearbox no problem but now it won't come out of the diff am I missing something?

I have had one cylinder drop out on me yesterday so have been fault finding this morning. Took off coil pack plug and there was no difference to the engine note so i removed plug and coil pack started her up and Found I have spark so coil pack and plug are fine Right I have checked the resistance of my injector on cylinder one and it's showing no resistance. So now I have a dilemma I have a full set of tt injectors on my spare engine, I know the na ones are 270cc and the tt ones are 370cc Now what I Am assuming all I need to do is to swap them over and get the ecu re mapped. Am I right in thinking this?

Well I just went to town in the Z with the targas out, was a lovelly drive. On the way back, I had to go via the motorway because I couldn't get out of town by the normal roads. Coming off the motorway the road is 30mph, which I was obeying, a TVR Tuscan however decided he wasn't and overtook me, about half a mile further down the road, it changes to national speed limit, at which point I downed to second, floored it and after the first corner saw the TVR. Within a few corners I had caught the Tuscan up, he obviously wasn't as sure of his car in the corners as I was of mine, he was still accelerating on the straights however. A corner or two more and I'm right b…
