Hi all, I'm considering replacing the exhaust manifolds with more efficient ones. I'm also going to fit 360 deg bearings to the T25s and wondered if anyone could recommend any alternatives to the stock ones. So far, I've seen these on e-bay, but I've heard that the cast ones are better than stainless ones and that there was once a good AMS copy:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280515461614 Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Ive bought a second hand AEM ecu and im having trouble working out how its wired. Do all AEM ecu come with the AFR sensor? The reason being ive only 1 sensor, but ive also got the AEM AFR guage that comes with a AFR sensor. Am i right in thinking that i have a sensor missing or can i wire the guage to read the ECU output if i plug the sensor into the ECU? Cheers Dan

Hi, my HICAS LIGHT is on as well as ABS. The steering seems heavier as well but there is some assitance still, as it wont move when swticehd off. This problem was interminttent and dissapeared when I switched the engine off, now its permanent!! Help

On my way home yesterday evening, I spotted a yellow zed on the A46 near Lincoln, that had tried to kill it's owner coming off a roundabout. Looks like a combination of just rained on road, and an :oops: moment joined forces and fired him up the embankment.... I hope it's not too expensive a fix for whoever the unlucky squire is....

A question? Is it fair to say that Zeds that have been tampered with re power and performance are less reliable than those not. My reason is that I have owned mine for about 4 years now and it has not had a great deal done ecept for a mongoose system. But it seems (touch wood ) very reliable. Yet I see on lots of occasions problems with zeds that have been modified in some way.

Some ebay ads are pretty vague when it comes to details - but this one for a 300zx just takes the piss. Do some people not want to sell the car??!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-300zx-tt-auto-/250646541741?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a5bb2b5ad It looks very nice, but at £7k, I'd want some sort of idea what I'm looking at. :pinch:

never noticed before as usually dark when passing :sweatdrop: black l reg parked next to a speedboat in ford end

Hi Neil, how,s you bud, where have you been? Contact me at artisticoclarke@aol.com I need to talk to you Cheerz Chris

Hmm got a slight issue, one of the local buses was blundering through the village today, the drivers forget that althogh the same length as a minibus they are the same width as a normal bus so i had no where to go as he didnt pull into the space I left for him. Stupid fool shouldnt have come up the road anyway, obstruction was on his side! My zed is too low to get on the curb there so long story short iv curbed one of my wheels badly, and caught the rear wheel as well. Pain in the arse, although I was never too fond of the black with red rim anyway - what colours should I consider? At the moment I'm really fancying a bronze colour a bit like the old wheels that …

Well we finally got the zed running properly last week as the car only had 1st and 2nd gear :ohmy: (thanks old zed the gearbox works perfectly :clap:) just need to de-limit it now :lol: So today we decided to have a nice drive around London enjoying the good-ish weather, targas off etc... when an old man (he must of been atleast 80+) in his 58 plate VW polo decided to hit my dads zed!! :gun_bandana: :oops: We were literally stopped in traffic on a roundabout, next to the exit (which only has one lane for the exit) and he decided to accelerate right into the drivers side door scrapping it and denting it along with breaking the wing mirror :ohmy: claims the car to his…

First of all i would like to say hi to all the guys on the forum and i should of really introduced myself in the newb section first, so forgive me diving straight in to my problems.. Well about 9 months ago my friend and i purchased a 300zx TT 1990 ,the car was brought as a non runner for £800 which seemed cheap as it had only done 3k on a brand new gearbox and the guy had owned it for 8 years and spent lots of money making it as powerfull as he could. there is a dyno run printout with the car from 2004 showing 650bhp so the thought of owning such a beast made it an easy decision,,we soon got the car running after some fuel and a jump start,but it ploomed blue smok…

any troubles or straight forward ??

hey guys when i got my car it didnt have a head unit so now ive just tryed to put one in but he car doesnt have the standard connections mines a 10 pin and a 6pin instead of my head units 2x 8pin. is this normal?? is there an adapter to fit if so.

Just had a call from my mate to say he'd just driven past a Z that had a little whoopsie in the rain... so I dragged the mrs away from the TV and got her to drive whilst I acted photographer lol :thumbup: anyone recognise it? couldn't make out the plate, but yellow SWB TT import... split rims... :oops:

Some people have put the box at the front of the n/s leg but on the inside , i,m fitting a FMIC which has twin air filters so it would be very difficult to get to it to change a fuse . Having done away with the standard IC,s there was loads of room to the outside of the leg and an easily removable splash shield to gain access . I had a look where the wiring goes through the inner wing and measured the hole , then the fuse box and realised that it might squeeze through , i needed to unclip the wiring from behind the wing which was off as i,ve got some welding to do but this can be done just by removing the slpash shields I bent the bottom edge of the hole down a l…

Hi Guys, Have not been on here in a while because car has generally been running fine apart from one REALLLLY annoying problem that caused an accident today so I really need to get it sorted!!! At low speeds or from standstill after blipping the throttle the engine almost dies or stalls completely. This is a real problem when accelerating onto slow moving roundabouts when I would blip the throttle then coast or brake to match the speed of traffic. This happened today - I was pulling onto a roundabout blipped the throttle and as the revs fell the car died!! A guy had decided to tailgate me onto the roundabout and ended up veering onto the centre of the island to …

Afternoon Folks, As i'm in a bit of a predicament with my choice of new brake setup it has left me with a few options to consider Go for broke and buy the 330mm setup and flog the 358mm fronts. Sell my wheels and change them or something that fits beneath the arch and accommodates the caliper. Those of you who have this setup what type of wheels and tyres do have to allow you to have the larger brake setup, would really rather not go down the arch rolling malarky if I can help it. At the moment the 18's that are on the car hit the inner linings and catch the arch when going over bumps (had to use 25mm spacers). Cheers for all help and advice! …
