hi all my tt's runing a few mods(ecu decats exhaust induction) and i have recently upped the boost 14psi, the car will run fine for about 20 mins at this boost then drop in to safty boost, when stoping the engine for a while and re starting the car will run on full boost again for about 20 mins the the same thing will happen. i havent checked the ecu for error codes yet. any ideas? thanks nick

My mate found this and told me about it - got some good 300zx footage about 3:55 in, this is the whole movie by the way so will probably be more bits but I've not seen it yet! :rockon::clap::punk::thumbup: will need adobe flash player to watch. http://vidreel.com/video/NTk0ODg0/ enjoy! :thumbup1:

if my boost gauge boosts fine straight up to +7 and stays there while accelerating hard, does that mean i have no boost/vacuum leaks or could there still be a leak somewhere?? my idle is a little rough, checked a few connections, seem fine, the yellow temp sensor brings the very front fan on when i disconnect it then goes off again when reconnected so that connection seems ok, maf disconnected increases the rpm so that seems to be working ok, put new plugs in and had the throttle valves cleaned. will try an ecu diagnostic tomorrow to see if any codes are registered. where is the tps?

Do 18'' 350z wheels fit my 95 300zx tt, think stud pattern is ok was wondering about the offset and spigot diameter, many thanks

Anyone help been out most of day with passengers front and rear when seatbelt warning light came on all had belts on it also took out power steering and indicators thought it may be due to passenger seat being lifted to let person in back out, had look at plug under seat looks ok . Any ideas appreciated.

Going to have a new clutch fitted with a light weight flywheel , need a new prop bearing £125 , so rather than spending on a prop bearing was thinking of putting it towards a prop , a lightwaight prop [ ally ] , any one had any negatives on these , ie the fit extra ?

Battery went flat, put key in egnition shut the door put jump leads on and the door locked, unable to get in the car and I only got 1 key when I bought it, how can I get in? Any help please Mark

Any help would be much apprieciated. Also, tested all the fuses with no drop in current but when i pull the fuse (Ign Skid Cont) under the bonnet the current drops. anyone else had the same problems and if so, how do i find the drain from there. Thanks, Dillon.

Many thanks to Jeff and gang for getting me to and from the station and the updates on the work required and of course the work that was carried out.

I need help, I just bought a Z a week ago so i'm very new to all this. I was giving it a bit of beans earlier in 2nd gear when I heard a crunch and all my battery, abs and 'light' came on. The car smelt a bit too. Still starts and runs but i'm afraid to drive it at the moment just incase its something serious. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

For those of you who don't know the name Mike Kojima....you simply should. Kojima gained popularity amongst Z32 owners by building Project 300ZX in the now defunct Sport Compact Car magazine in the US many years ago. Anywho, here is his latest VG30DETT Engine Tech from his own website MotoIQ.com. If you ever want to take your car knowledge to a higher level, you should really check out that site.

Hi everyone Has anyone fitted the bigger rad and electric fan combo thats on Ebay for £169??? Was looking at it thinking it looks quite good especially as our cars need more cooling. Have many people removed their viscous coupling and replaced it with an electric fan and has anyone noticed diffrences or experienced any probs? Mines an auto so what cooler have people used to replace standard Rad for auto box cooler?? Jase

Hey people, I started a thread some time ago reffering to lowering my 300, and jimmytt photoshopped my zed and it looked awesome.

Branson Z Fest is held every year in Branson, Missouri. Caters for all the Z car range, S series, Skylines and G series Nissans. I've not been yet, but keep getting bugged my 3ZC admin of whom I've been to other Z shows across the US to. Initial plan was to meet up with some crazy guys in LA who drive cross country via Oregan!!! That was a 5 day drive in a Z which would have been fun, but I don't have that sort of time since I'll be down in San Diego mostly. So, I'm flying into Springfield (MO) from Los Angeles. Then heading upstate to Rolla to pick up my ride for the duration of the show. A silver 1993 2+2 with brand new suspension, 370Z wheels and loads of ot…
