Anyone know how many litres per minute it shifts?

Im in the process of cleaning and overhauling my manual box,(not internals) and ive noticed 1 pipe entry/exit point, a bit like a vac pipe union. ( i have an auto at the minute, hence the question) the box is on a bench in my garage. Is this for an oil cooler? i thought it would have an in and an out. Or is it for a vac line? Does it need to be connected and if so, what too? Any ideas? I will try and get some pics up to show the bit im on about. Much appreciated Graham Pic of pipe

I've removed my radiator to ease the access to my power steering pump. I'll be in a position to refit my radiator sometime this weekend so i'm wondering what kind of coolant i should be using? I've read on previous posts about a 90% coolant - 10% water mix but should i go to Nissan and get their recommended stuff or will any old coolant from a local motor factors do the job?

Hi all, having a few problems with my new 300zx twin turbo (auto) there is loads of White smoke coming out of passenger side exhaust I have taken turbo pipes off and there is no water in the pipes. It is not loosing much water or oil but turbo doesn't seem to spool up. Does this sound like a goosed turbo? Or could it still be head gasket. It ticks over fine just when you rev engine it pushes out White smoke. Plus can anyone give me the co an co2 levels / percentages at different rpm levels? Thanks for reading this any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Dave

Well I finally bought a deep-dish steering wheel to replace my rather mundane looking Tomei one... Its not fitted yet as the allen key bolt heads in the old wheel are knackered, but I offered it up to the dash - what do you think? I love it :tt1:

I've never had bucket seats in a car before, but I'm teetering on the edge of getting a pair of very nice Bride seats... but they are fixed back. Obviously they can't be reclined or adjusted in the slightest, but I guess they are in the correct position for 'most users' - is that a reasonable way to put it? Has anyone had any fixed back seats before and if so, what did you make to them? thankz guyz :cowboy:

Anyone know anything about Pioneer head units? I've got one that has a blue IP-Bus connector socket on the back. Now the unit I have is a radio cassette and I also have the matching CD/equalizer. Now the CD player plugs into this IP-Bus socket with a blue plug, and I know that the socket is for a CD changer (or in this case a single CD player) Now my question is... on the back of the CD player is another socket identical to the one on the back of the radio and I've found out that the CD specs say that there is IP-Bus in and out (plug = out, socket in) so what I'm wondering is can I plug another attachment into the additional socket on the back of the CD player and the rad…

Hi John, I have owned a nissan 300zx twin turbo in red for over a year now and had major work/ restoration done to it. Basically it has been built to handle 750hp. just over 3 years ago. The engineering company that built it said it perviously had a stand alone apexi in it and an apexi avcr boost controller to run it to 700hp. However the stand alone apxei was removed form the car before it came into my possesion. I noticed under the passenger footwell the ecu has one of your chips in it. The chip states it has been programmed to handle 555cc injectors, stock/cam/turbos./smic *** something intake..and then your name with it. I just wanted to know how much hp can …

Hi guys, does anyone know if there's a difference between and TT and an n/a gearbox? :blink:

Anyone know of anywhere to get a red EL panel in the UK, to do the mod on the rear centre panel? I know i can get one from ebay usa, but kind of in a rush for it, got the panel seperated, need to get it back together, and i am very impatient :) I did find somewhere in sheffield, for 25 quid, just think i can get one cheaper maybe...

Guys I need to fit a new aerial to my car as the current one is mounted to the inside of the front windscreen and gives a crap/ signal (something very similar to this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/INTERNAL-GLASS-WINDSCREEN-MOUNT-AMPLIFIED-CAR-AERIAL-/320532140629?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4aa1345255 Has anyone used a signal amp or similar to boost their signal? It's either that or I am looking at mounting a new aerial and mount just behind the t-bars on the roof, but I'd only go that route as a last resort. Do not really want to take a drill to the Zed's roof! Was thinking some sort of bee sting type thing or one like they use on the VW g…

Hi has anyone had any experience with these tyres I'm getting mixed reviews some people rate them highly but others like on the evo forum complain of weak side walls. Gone off the idea of 888s and the new yoko advan ad08 as they are to soft. I'm after an all round tyre good for road and the odd track day maybe. Any ideas? Thanks Dan

The rear suspension on the car has started to squeak going over bumps, car is lowered 50mm with adjustable camber arms, is it time for new shocks?

Hi all, Having taken my 300 ZX TT for a frst run today I am very impressed by the performance. However as this is my first turbo'd car I crave a BOV valve to make some additional noise. I assume with 2 turbo's I can run a pair of BOV's but I do not know a lot about fitting them. Can anybody advise what I should be looking for? I am hoping someone offers a complete fitting kit to make life easier although some pointers on where to fit them would also help! Cheers Jay

Well i'm off shopping for all the remaining bits this saturday to get it started next week :hyper: One job I need to do is hook up the final wiring to the starter motor/alternator. I have one thick wirecoming directly from the (+) of the battery to the engine bay that i assume used to attach to the starter motor on the original engine. NOW with my limited knowledge of engine bay electrics I would imagine that: The thick (+) feed wire goes to the (+) of the starter The (-) of the starter goes to the block and the block the the earth of the battery From the (+) of the starter to the charge of alternator? Do I need a relay inbetween the key barre…

Well guys I have just been reading an article tonight about the street racer who was the inspiration for the story which became The Fast and the Furious. Well have a guess what car he used to race . . . . . . . . . ? Yep boys and girls, a starion initially and then a 1990 300zx twin turbo !!!!!! When racing, he used to give other cars advantages (car lenghts) and still beat them over a mile.

Thanks to Munny975 for sending me a PM when he had seen these on ebay, I have been messed about something wicked trying to buy a set of rays wheels. I really liked these so bought them, had to pay £250 for shipping as well but think they are smart. Might silverplate the gold bits not sure yet. Will take 8 weeks to arrive http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250636478761
