Finally after two days of bad luck and hardwork i managed to get my car back home. To cut the story short, took a flight to belfast but on the way my wallet was stolen but lucky i put the car money seperately. This indirectly made me miss my ferry back to london. So was totally screwed but was a proud owner of a zed with no money for petrol and no place to stay. Somehow managed to get some money from a friend via a long shot, rebooked the ferry for the next day and left for london on saturday! Short version but was one of the most stressfull days lol However getting of the ferry at liverpool and then driving 4 hours to east london, couldnt stop smiling :D. The car di…

Hi guys, just sorting the little bits out on my car before i advertise it. I have purchased a correct steering wheel [one with no cruise] for the car and just went to swap it over and found they are quite different see pics My question is this can i fit this steering wheel [i think its an NA] and what do i need to buy for it to fit? The old one is the bottom one and the replacement one is above it [obviously]

Has anyone fitted the K N replacment airfilters (the ones that fit the original airbox)to there car, and was there much improvment in performance over the standard type.

20 manual conversions done............ who`s this then? From his feedback he works on Supra`s and 4 x 4 and lives in the west country, has only one feedback as a seller but enough work on to do 20 conversions any guesses, if I am right I have some cracking pics of at least 3 of those conversions....multi ebay identities perhaps :x: Tasty workshop or what :tt2: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300zx-Manual-Conversion-Kit-/140522134879?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b7c59d5f Jeff TT

Originally this is Groover's baby so all credit goes to him :biggrin: I sent my switch off to him and he blue illuminated it for me about 10 months ago :yes: Off Marty I got a switch that was not worn on the switch, so better than I had so set about lighting it myself in red this time as my interior is either blue or red, Palace fan you see :cry: So Graham, I opened up the chambers inside as much as I could get to and as much as I dared, used two strips, one either side, cut down to 3 smd's on each, I know you did it differently but my confidence in soldering is not good :wacko: I did Dr. Dremel'd it back as well to accomodate the strip thickness and also took …

Morning folks, my HICAS warning light is on anyone know how to make it go away? Cheers

just going through stuff in garage came across pack of top trumps look what was in the pack.

if you were going to turbo a N/a how much boost can you safle run without wreckin the engine without upgrading the pistons n all that im just wonderin coz i start a new job at the end of the month.would it be worth while trying or should i just sell and get a tt bear in mind insurance and stuff + can the vg30de run just one big turbo or am i just bein stupid.. the N/A isnt powerfull enuf..got used to it too fast its just when in second gear pulling the grrrrrrrr should be followd by a pshhht

Hi all, Another problem i came across today is that my newly installed boost controller has stopped working. I bought it a few years back but have only recently installed it. It was installed a few weeks back and was coming on and working fine. Its power supply is fed from the ECU harness but after doing a few more soldering and wiring to various other parts on the dash it has seemed to have lost power. Does anyone know if they have an inline fuse anywhere? or does the ECU harness is fused? im hoping its either a fuse or a cable fault somewhere from when my mate has been doing other wiring. Any ideas?

Ok people before i do this i thought id run it past you guys and see what you think? Im running a stand alone ECU that uses a MAP sensor instead of a MAF. In my build ive had to make custom pipe work up to and from the turbos! The plastic air filter inlet has a pipe where you normally connect the idle control pipe to....Instead of going to the trouble of drilling, cutting and welding an adaptor to my new pipework im thinking of just running a little oil filter to the inlet of the idle control valve. The air drawn in will still be filtered and the valve will still be able to function the same as before. Im sure the AEM ecu doesnt need as much data signals …

Hi, Which induction kits/air filters are you guys using? what is best a dual one or a single one? cheers mark

My car was a uk TT auto but the guy I bought it off changed it too a manual, is there a difference between the turbos from a auto to the maunal and does it make a difference? cheers Mark

Hi All I recently acquired a 300zx non turbo auto 1990 on a swop. Since then the car has developed a problem – third gear is now Missing In Action,:detective: it just slips.Oil and levels are good. I don’t really want to go down to manwell conversion route. So has anyone got any suggestions as to what could be wrong and where to start looking? Jooles

I've booked the Zed in for a Rolling Road session wednesday morning. Not a tune, just a power run as the Zed's running spot on at the min. Just looking for some tips and advice, anything i should/shouldnt do before i get there? I've just had the oil changed, so no worries there and i know i should run it on the fuel i usually use to give a true reading, so a full tank of the Momentum. Anything else? Also, what sort of power should i be looking for with the following specs:- 3" straight thru exhaust with decat Greddy twin mushroom induction chipped ecu 0.9bar (14psi ??) boost HKS Super SQV II BOV's I'll be happy with anything over 300 bhp a…

Couple of my cars are getting mould inside where im not using them very much. Any tips to stop mould?

are these what I need to sort out the play? Both wheels, and also how much are the track rod ends? Can't seem to find a rough price anywhere, as mine has play in both joint on one side, and one joint on the other, so may as well change all 4.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-REAR-INNER-TIE-ROD-END-NISSAN-300ZX-89-95-4-WHEEL-/320483876589?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4a9e53deed
