Hello, all - it's been a long time but I've been offered another Z so it looks like I'll be getting my hands dirty again. Just a quick one - which turbo can you do with the engine in place and which can't? I'm thinking it's the left (passenger side) one that's a pain but I can't remember. Also is there anyone doing good deals on slightly larger turbo's these days? Typically I sold pretty much all my Z bits off at the end of last year as I couldn't see me using them. I kept seeping Z's that were either too pricey or complete wrecks so kind of gave up then this one pops up out of nowhere. :thumbup1:

Nice to have a chat its been a while matey how you doing .jaylox

Spotted a couple of nice Z's in Newport today (didn't have my camera on me though) There was a tidy red 'Z' reg 'M300...' parked up outside No Frills around 1'ish and then I spotted another black/dark grey parked up at the top of the hill just off Albert avenue/Church road in maindee it's been a while since I've seen another 'Z' in Newport, there used to be a red SWB parked just up the road from my parents house on Victoria avenue but haven't seen it for a year or so now, hope the guy hasn't sold it

Near Stony Stratford/Calverton, parked up on a grass verge. Anyone on here?

Parked a couple cars down from mine in the B & Q / tesco car park, paint work was gleaming.

Does anyone know where the aux fan wire is located so that i can connect my alarm sensor wire as required. Thanks.

stock looking , had club stickers, near white hart roundabout .

Hello guys! I was looking for some options to monitor oil/water temp and pressure, and maybe more and came into this product. Seems very interesting both in function and price. I'm shure it can be fitted to a z32 and maybe tempted to try it. What you think? http://arkdesign-us.com/mfd-multi-function-dash

My tickover is at around 1500 rpm. Its usually around 1000 which I know is still a little high. Is it easy to adjust down?? k

Bye Bye!! apparently.........fell apart as soon as the kit was off.lol!

As you probably know, I've been looking for a car for some time, and haven't really seen anything worth buying, so I've been thinking about importing one. Can anyone recommend any dealers that import 300ZX's? I'm also curious about how much they are to buy from Japan. My dad had his FTO imported about 5 years ago, and he seemed to pay a lot more than what it was realistically worth.

Hey all cars in the bodyshop for respray and kit fit so while its there Ive been getting some work done on the new engine, BUT im not sure what turbos and manifolds to go for??? Id be quiet happy with 400-450bhp ive already got decat exhaust, Mines chipped ecu, HKS filter, Boost jets, and front mount intercooler. Any of the more experienced engine builders have any suggestions??? Thanks Craig

Hi All Does anyone know the recommended gap for the colder NGK PFR6B-11B plugs? Stock gap appears to be .044 but for higher boost (15-18psi), some recommend .035. Any thoughts on the correct gapping for say 14psi? Cheers

from the information I've read on this site the "safe" limit for a standard vg is 1bar boost and around 400bhp, is anybody running more than this? I'm asking because my next mod powerwise will be bigger injectors and a remap to suit, I'm already running hks gt2530's and larger intercoolers so running more boost shouldn't be a problem but could the engine take it? I'm probably opening a can of worms here but want to know if anybody is running above the norm

im trying to find that thread on a member on here who put a turbo on the rear bit of the exhaust of his n/a zed? i mensioned it to some mates and they just thought i was making it up!! :cursing: so please help me find this thread! i cant find it! :no:

Another problem :sad: Car was working fine yesterday morning when I drove to work. After work when I started her up I could already hear her running rough, sounded a bit like running on 5 cylinders, and when you accelerate she chugs like a tractor. So far I have: 1: Checked all the spark plugs ( they have only done about 8000 Km - NGK PFR6B- 11C) They all look perfect, no signs of anything unusual. 2: I´ve checked the coil packs and the resistance is spot on on all of them. 3: The coil pack connectors are all brand new and the wiring etc is ok. 4: The Injectors seem to all be clicking- from what I can tell with the screwdrive…

Hi all. I just wondered if anyone knows of a company that might be able to stitch in a new panel in a driver's seat. I have the material already. Cheers Dave.

can anyone tell me which wire/s feed the signal to the aerial so it goes up when the stereo/ignition is turned on? just replaced the stereo and the thing dont go up anymore!!! dan.:confused1:

Did you know that Peter North (porn star) is into Z32s and drives one. Found this out when I was in LA and then at Branson Z fest in Missouri, a couple of guys there say that he knows Scott Labree as well. So, Top Gear....you were correct, it IS a pornographers car! :bow:

The car gets up to temp and idles nicely, then for no apparent reason will start to hunt up and down for a moment then settle on a good idle then reapeats this over and over:huh: I have removed and cleaned idle valve and check all connectors all seem fine any thoughts peeps? Dave

What would 19x10 front, 19x11.5 rear, 10 offset mean on a 300zx? :shifty:

Just a quick thank you to John (jmwuk) for the loan of the PTU. It was nice to meet you and the missus mate. Nice car buddy and excellent tea aswell :cool3: The sooner the decorating is done the sooner you can get going on the Zed again :lol: Thanks again, Daffy.

Hi mate i would like to buy your 99 spec lights, any chance you can email me on beermonster65 @ hotmail.com cheers

Hi Guys Was driving up north from London today and noticed white smoke coming form exhaust but it only done it when i done the kick down. it has happened a couple of times. i have been told it is moisture in the exhaust? Checked radiator no oil in it, can anyone give me a little bit help and advice! much appreciated! Mark

Had an idea that im going to remove my side repeaters for a smoother look like some of the us zeds you see. The car is a black swb. i have already smoothed the tailgate and the antena hole, all stone chip will be removed no rear wiper etc. i have a 99 spec front to go on as well will i get away without them for the mot as i think the 99 spec indicators are visible from the side. if not i may integrate some new style audi wing mirror indicators into the std mirrors ( they are a thin strip like on the r8) i was also considering integrating the indicators into the main light cluster and smoothing the 99 spec to remove both the indicator and the fogs.…
