Has anyone here got a s15 6speedbox in their car.Im gonna do the conversion soon on my n/a auto,just wanna hear if many have tried it before?

Im a total newbie to this.Picked up a TT for cheap.It was running but very rough,decided to pull the motor so I could check everything from scratch.Ive been through all your threads learning as much as I can as this is the first turbo I have ever owned.I know i could spend money on all the correct equipment but due to money and the fact that i still have to get the car through its inspection so dont want to change to much.My idea is to connect the actuator for the turbo straight to the inlet manifold through the solinoid valve that comes with the car with a switch activating on the dash. So what this means is I will be running normal boost most the time unless I depr…

Just watching Timecop, and they had the 'New 1994 Model' Z in the mall, haha, i'm sure you all knew that tho :)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290400301848&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Just won this spare engine as i was looking for one to strip apart in slow time and rebuild up to a good spec. Will be picking the brains of the guru engine builders along the way if that is ok :) Marty

Just following on from Baz`s, `what you doing to you zed thread`, I will be refurbing my vert in the next couple of months and need some ideas? I love Apatches old interior, but i need some pics for ideas, have you any photos of really nice show car interior`s, I suppose it doesnt have to be a zed, but would help!! Cheers in advance Daz

Right, own up..! Who's ditched the red zed at the bottom of Sandgate Hill, Folkestone????? :death:

I have seen a couple of threads on this. What is the best way to check O2 sensors of the car, I can heat up with a blow torch. And have a multimeter But which wires should i connect it to.?? And what voltage range should show a decent sensor. Ive got 6 to check, and all are showing voltage. Either im doing it wrong or they are all shagged. Help please

I'm well aware of the fact that the 300zx ain't a rally car, but I really like the deep dish Sparco/OMP steering wheels around. Like this: Just curious as to how a deep dish wheel looks in the cabin of a Z, had a look on tinternet but not really seen any :(

I know lots of Zs don't really see the roads this time of year, and others are in daily use. But what are you doing to yours right now, what are you fitting next etc etc? Come on get typing :clap: For me, tomorrow, I'll be taking the front bumper off and fitting my ARC intercoolers, fitting a splitter to the bumper before it goes back on, then fitting a few interior gadgets in the shape of an Apexi RSM and SAFC :thumbup:

OK..... Let me tell you my brake story.... I have replaced my calipers with original Z1 refurbed one's, got relocating brkt's, 350Z discs (brembo set-up), and yellow pads. Now.... i have warped 3 disc's in 12 months, braking from 160+ down to 100-70mph in one hit. Now i am looking to get the D2/K-sport set-up for my front rotors, but..........am i gonna pay £800-£1200 worth of disc/caliper/pad set-up and get to that speed again, brake hard, then.....BANG!!! All that money gone, discs warped due to, too much heat,bad disc,etc.... Has anyone here got the big brake set-up, and got to these speeds and put the pedal to the floor, and the discs survived? I just…

http://www.tastynuts.com/ Mine turned up today and look very nice..

Look whats turned up, one of my previous Zs, http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1418452.htm Would love it back, :cry: Mean mother that one! Tony

I have asked a similar question before, but didn't get a definative answer, as i think i made it far too unspecific.... Shortened version.... If I leave the EGR solenoid unplugged, but the EGR system is still installed, will it effect the running of the car? Cheers... Tude.

whats the best way to remove , the fairlady sticker on the back of me car please. i have tried looking on 300zx google search and nowt has come up any ideas please

were do i get one that will work with the over drive button on the auto z 1996 Please

Help meeeeeeeee I can't open my boot! The cable still has adequate tension to release it, and pops off the petrol cap.. well it would if the cap had pins keeping it in place :whistling: Anyhoo the boot wont release, also I've tried the three keys in the rear barrel but it seems corroded and wont budge :closedeyes: Any other methods or cracking the nut?

Hey all, I posted a while ago about an erratic idle and hesitation whilst driving, on my lunch today i checked the maf and maf connections to make sure it wasnt loose or dirty, and now the car wont go above 2500 revs :helpsmilie: Have i fooked something or do i need to reset something? :-S

Just found a bloody great hole on the rear of my swb, its on the lower part of the sil behind the door just infront of the wheel, where body panel curves under the car. Sorry i know naf description, anyway my question can this panel be bought or do i just get the body shop to patch it before fitting the bodykit and respray? Ive just covered it in a bit of black duct tape for now to hide it. Id get a pic but the duct tape will just pull all the paint off now. Cheers Craig

Can someone recomend a good cat 1 alarm and fitter. Fitted prices are different all over the place. Supplier have been saying you have to get it fitted properly but surely if they are approved then it is properly. Some options would be nice. Thanks.

could i put 15w50 into the zed its a mobil one fully synthethic

Hi- Can anyone advise me on this. I'v been looking at the turbos from underneath the car, The exhaust housing has Garrett cast into it with 5 bolt elbows, the compressor has HKS cast into it. (I think i read somewhere that HKS don't actually manufacture turbos but that they modify or alter mainstream manufacturers products, hence both brands) I am trying to identify what model no. of HKS turbo I am looking at. There is a label plate but the script is tiny and very difficult to read with a torch and mirror! Is there any easy way to identify these? Thanks

Hi, just a quick insurance question for any 'Performance Direct' customers, Have any of you got an import zed on your policy Thanks Rich

hello people im new to the 300zx ownership and had a bit of a bad start, iv brought a uk spec tt with manual conversion done and alwas well for a few days untill engine started to knock witch turned out to be bottem end so done and engine swap (found a low miliage lump for 600).when we done the engine swap we noticed that the clutch was on it way out so we thought it was ok when we took it out so itll be ok for alittle longer untill we took it out for its first drive. when on boost or changing gears fast it would grind like the clutch was not fully engaged but if you change gears slowly its fine. so i thought i would just bite the bullet and put a new clutch in as iv done…
