Reet, here goes, she's had a new loom, used but working PTU, mostly every pipe changed, new IC,intake pipes, new plugs, any many more things, i think the only things not changed are the CAS and TPS.... The problem is, she runs beautifully, revs as sweet as a nut, ticks over a little fast tho, sometimes, but if i rev her, a good foot down rev (whilst stationary), then sometimes it seems to return to tickover, but sounds like she's running on 5 cylinders, also when driving, there is no low end torque, but when you slowly get to about 3500 revs she shoots off like a rocket, although maybe not as fast as she should be, ecu diagnostic comes back 55 99% of the time, but ve…

No idea how to set up a poll but wonder what %age of posters on here actually spend more time on this forum than either driving or 'attending to' their Zed. I guess the vast majority are on here more than behind the wheel!

Looking to get a new ally rad. would the standard shroud fit over it and not foul the fan ?? The brackets on the too would not be an issue. i would have some made up.

One of my front speakers is all buzzy and rattly on tunes with lots of bass. I guess I should replace them. Anyone know what sort will fit? I just want reasonable ones, nothing too fancy. Thanks in advance.

The temperature gauge on my 300 always seems to read/sit close to maximum. Although I haven't had any cooling issues so far, some how I'm sure the gauge shouldn't read quite so high. Can anyone advice what may be the cause and possible cure for this?? Thanks

Hi Guys, I am looking for the plastic insert that fits above the rear lights after the wing is removed can any one please point me in the right direction.

Hi, I’m hopefully going to buy a 300zx that’s in amazing condition. I’m just after some reassurance regarding the rust issue. I have been reading some threads regarding the common rust on the rear and although this car has none it has me wondering. I know you only hear of the cars that have problems and no one ever posts, “my car has no rust”. Please someone reassure me that a well looked after Z will not end up rusting. Do these cars rust form the inside out, so a car can look great from the outside but be eating itself on the inside? This happened to a family members Trooper, we only found out about the rust when the mot guy put his hand through t…

obviously by the title this is not good for any zed! but i have kinda identified the problem, there are wiring looms and wires with connecters at the back of the engine bay on top, if you look on your car you will see(il upload pics tmrw) but anyway when i try to accelerate hard or open the taps a bit the car just jumps then dies! i roll to a stop and sometimes i can restart it but sometimes i have to leave it overnight and it will start in the morning! (wierd) but anyway when i move these wires and jiggle them around the idle sound and speed changes, and when the car doesnt start completly il get sombody to fiddle with those wires while i turn the ignition and it will us…

Well, ive just been out with the wife in the Zed for the first time in 2 months. Fair weather zed:wink: I tell you something...the Germans haven't a clue when we pull up at the lights!!!:w00t: Fookin great.......i love this car!!!!

I recently purchased the fast and furious box set. Been watching them all and other car films i have and why is it the 300zx doesnt seem to feature in these, is it becasue you dont see it much at drifiting tracks or is it just becoming a forgotten car, or is it because it will show them all up.

Any have the easy version of the intallation photo guide for a right hand drive car. Looked on FAQ but there no help Thanks

I'm looking for some advice being a newbie to the world of 300zx's. I want to get a bit more power from my car so am looking at raising the boost, fitting a decent exhaust and decat, and some decent airfilters. My question is, is it worth going for a whole new ECU from the likes of MINES? I've been offered the choice of a few different ECUs, a MINES VX ROM, Tomei, Jun and Racing Garage. Apparently they are all design to be run with stock injectors and intercoolers, uprated exhausts and air filters. Has anyone had any experience with any of these? With the ECU, exhaust and air filters, would that be all I need to get it to a "stage 1", if there is such a thing?

As my Zed is going to be off the road for a bit I am looking for a decent soft material car cover for interior (ie garage) use, can anyone recommend one. I have tried using the search facility, but it doesn't appear to be working...:no:

Hi guys need a bit of advice, Im considering changing my Mines ecu back to a standard one until I can get my car up to Jeff@Zedworld at the end of feb, at the moment my car is eating fuel like no bodies business. The car has following mods, FMIC, Decat Exhausts,K&N filter, Im no expert but i take it i can go back to a standard Ecu until i can get the car to Jeff for a once over and set up or will i just make things worse??? Cheers Craig

Hey folks can anyone recommend a good bodyshop around the Cambridge area i think its hard to get a true reflection of a bodyshop without some good recommendations from previous work. Cheers Marty

right now my z has been off of the road for a while and has been kept in a dry lockup while i try and do the work on the gearbox. now its getting a bit dusty and the other day i check to see if everything is ok with the paint (call it paranoid) anyway i think i have found a problem.......... what i seem to have on a section of paint on the roof is what i can describe as tiny bubbles (not rust) but at first glance looks like overspray on the t-top and mid roof section.you have to look really closely to see them but on closer inspection i can press the bubbles as if the are air!!! these are tiny about 0.5 mm diameter but there are loads of them :sad: …

Is that one without catalytic convertors for a 91 TT ? Also what do you think is better blue flame or mongoose?

Saw a sleek looking Z this morning about 8am - black, bodykit, high rear spoiler, HIDs and 6 pot rear lights. Looked nice, not seen it before. Anyone on here? :rockon:

Ist a red M plate, about 11am A259 Middleton towards Bognor, I flashed at you, and you did back, i was in the transit. Thought it might have been Marv300, but number plate is different. Next one was parked up top of Wick Street Littlehampton. 3.30pm An immaculate white shortie with black wheels. G120*AL. One of the tidest and clean zeds ive ever seen. Stunning. Who are you, i know most of the local zeds, but not you guys.

I have recently had my autobox replaced with a tested 2nd hand one and cant seem to get reverse to work with the new gearbox. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would cause it not to work in my car even though it worked fine in the donor car? All the forward gears work just no reverse. Is it possible the mechanic just missed an electronic hook up or needs to reset the the cars computer?

Anyone have a Ash spec rad? I have had one for ages and finally getting round to fitting it but don't know what brackets go where. Pictures of the brackets that come with it shown below. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Ant
