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.…

Was asking a guy a few simple questions about this zed like where has the 500BHP come from but like most claims figures, then cant answer and avoids questions and then says im a timewaster. Surely to make a sale you would want to list things like uprated internals to achieve 500BHP. Also what are Brambo brakes and is a turbo booster like NOS? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110544450745&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

Coming back from work approx 1:00pm came up slip road J11 m27 behind Red Z on a L plate headed towards gosport i was in white Z flashed you to let you in middle lane.

Garage has just got back to me saying there's two problems fitting the decat pipes, There's lambda sensors (well theres cat temp sensors I told 'em - told him to slice em off) but unknown to me there are two metal pipes about 1" diameter going into the stock pipes coming from the inner arch area - wtf are these? can I disconnect them? will they affect running? Also when I take off the cat temp sensors I'll assume they'll leave me a red light on the dash, how can I stop this - just earth the wires? Cheers!

got the zed going in for mot on monday now everything sorted my only worry is the rear lights the outer plastic is cracked in several places where the tailgate has been hitting it, there is no white light showing to the rear but is it a mot failiure with the outer plastic cracked?

Hi Chaps, just failed the MOT because of the service brake efficiency. The tester said brake balance was ok, but overall 48% efficiency is a fail (50% req'd!) So what does this mean? He seemed to think it might have been a back caliper not working hard enough. What can I do to sort this? The calipers have recently being refurbished, with new dics and pads. The fluid was also changed, but I have had the brakes very hot since and got a very soft pedal at the time. Once cooled the brakes seemed ok again. Could it just be the fluid? Cheers Chaps.... BTW it breezed through the rest, which is always nice!:)

Hello guys I need some help to know about my zed security mesures. I don't have info on my car,only that has a alarm system that i haven't even tested if it cuts fuel or sparks... But anyway, how can i know if it's a stock alarm system, does the ecu has immo? Any1 can help? thanks
