http://www.injectordynamics.com/ I have not tried these yet - but I might when I am ready to upgrade from my 555's to 725's. :batman:

Julia and I went to Cornwall over the New Year and, at last, gave the new ZX its first proper outing...... .....So 1000-odd trouble-free miles later (some at a "fairly swift" pace:shaun:), I definitely know I bought a good 300zx:thumbup1: We even woke up to see a dusting of snow one morning; luckily the Z was not bothered by it :thumbup1: The car did get pretty filthy though, owing to the winter roads (which you can see in the pics); however I've cleaned it today and put it back in the garage once again! Richard:biggrin:

...How do we remove the blighter's? :surrender::surrender:

Basically to cut a long story short, i had a problem with my zed some time back. My car has been parked up for 2 yrs come May . I wanted to get this sorted LONG ago then i was laid off from work (credit crunch etc) so the car was SORN and left on my drive thinking I would get around to it. Well, time has gone by, and I did have someone come look at it and we never got her running. I dont earn much money coz I have been working towards my teaching qualifications over the last year after redundancy and i've been doing a bit of volunteer work too. The thing is the zed ran perfect all the time while i had it up until i fitted the dump valves (probably unrelated). Problem was …

Hi im away from my car can anyone give me a chassis number for a manual TT as i need to order some parts from Nissan today, But they wont help without a chassis number. Can anyone help please!! cheers Craig

Most zeds I've seen recently appear to be around Glastonbury / Street! Seen this one by the Baptist Church close to rush hour, would of flashed but thought it was a Supra as it was pretty dark out, but the taillights gave it away in the mirror, think it had a pedastal type spoiler. Anybody on here?

:rockon:

Been for my first drive in the new shorty tonight, apart from the test drive of course. I have report, it goes well however: brakes need work, headlights rubbish, wipers rubbish and 275/35 tyres also rubbish on snow.... It is now parked at the bottom of my hill unable to get to the house. Pesky cars! So i should have bought a FORD as the Driver Returned On Foot....! Still such an awesome car! Needs a bit of fettling, but nothing a couple of mornings in the workshop cant rectify! Knocked it into high boost for one gear change and decided against it again when it spun up in 4th :s Why do i always buy 300zx's in winter???

Hi guys recently purchased a decated stainless steel with exhaust to replace my tired one. When I had a look at it, I realised that it did not have anywhere to fit the 2 O2 sensors that are fitted near where the cats used to be in the exhaust.Can anyone tell me if the engine would be affected if these sensors are not fitted.Sorry if this question sounds stupid but I can't figure out why a company would sell these exhaust without provision for these sensors.:detective:

I have space for 3 gauges.... What should I put in them???:thumbup:

Where is everyone :confused1::confused1::confused1: I live in North London and I havnt seen one in months on da road Whats happening :headvswal:headvswal :scared: SPOOKY :scared:

gotta fix the rear lights, indicators are fine, checked the bulbs there all fine, checked the contacts there all fine, checked the voltage....seems a bit odd sort of flickers up and down to quick for the metre, front lights ALL work? cant work out why the rears dont? so in short neither the brake or rear side lights work, any clues? if the fuse had gone surely the fronts would be out? or are they separate? if so where is the fuse? mines jap is there a translation......its been 10 months without my car this is the last thing left....... heeeeeeelllp http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=123680&referrerid=14871

Sorry this seems a very silly question but I've noticed 'safety boost' being mentioned a few times. Let me describe my cars power delivery: 3k boost kicks in 4k-4.5k it goes up to 7.5psi , doesnt go off the guage or anything then the power seems to drop off quickly by 5k. Whilst the initial torque and surge is fantastic I can't help but think its running out of puff awfully fast. If I increased the boost to 15psi, would it have the same amount of kick low down and would the powerband be extended closer to the redline? The car was dyno'd (with catback mongoose exhaust system) at 273 bhp at the fly, or 245bhp at the wheels.. which seems a little lowish, thoug…

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1422975.htm This guy is after my cougar. He wants 2k for his zed and claims its mint which i doubt to be honest, has full SH and receipts for all work carried out. that grey is one of my favourite colour for a zed. Any thoughts on it?

just abit of fun here but my brother drives a mk3 supra turbo stock and he says he would beat my 93 manual tt, i said he was talkin out his backside but he's adament about it, what do you lad/lasses think about it? thers a crate of lager on this so iv gotta be sure

Guys I read these are important when you start running more boost. Who knows what? Or are they a waste of time? I also read that the CAT has EGT probe, when you De CAT these are removed. (no problem just ensure the wires don't short) Just changing my exhaust over amongst other mods, Should I place an EGT in the down pipe just after the Turbo? The manifold would be obvious place but a ******* to get too. Thanks for your advice Seb

Today around 2pm Was parked opposite the Co-Op the other day

Seen this a few times and its a very tidy car indeed, Anyones on here??? Craig

Im off to get some........... unless someone knows why its so cheap there?

Hi, after leaving the car for a week over Xmas, cleared her of snow, opened her up and started her up, fired first time and ticked over purrfect, drove around a while and noticed my indicator's weren't working. When i got home i tested the hazard switch and the bulbs in the dash blinked and the outside lamps also blinked, the separate left/right ones still refused to work. Found the fuse in the footwell, 10amp red, but it was not blown.. Looked around the other fuse blocks but nothing.. Any body got any ideas where to look next? Rich

Hi - Happy New Year to all - I have been rattling on about my fuel rail for what seems an age now, but I have finally got something finished and ready for my car! Just to recap: I wanted injector choice using top feed Bosch style injectors. I considered the 300degree rails (and others) a poor solution (for me). I wanted parallel fuel feed options. I wanted to prevent thermally conducted engine heat from the engine warming the fuel delivery system. I wanted to be able to change injectors easily without plenum removal. I wanted a fuel rail that could grow with my engine as it changes and becomes more powerful. (This system is good for up to 1600cc injecto…

Ok guys my autobox has starting acting a lil strange lately so Im going to give it a service tomorrow. I have looked around a little bit but still havent found the answers that im looking for. I have read that Dexron ATF is the correct fluid to use and that I should check the fluid level while the engine is running and the tranny is in park after I cycle the tranny through the gears. I.E. 1,2,D,N,R,P. Is this correct? Does anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance for your help.

A poll to see how many would like the Car of the Month competition revived. Please take into consideration, that there is a fair bit of effort and time required to make the competition run smoothly, organise the trophies etc. Isaac ran the last few and it a decision was made to knock the COTM on the head, due to lack of nominations, votes and general interest. We have had a fair few new members since and some renewed interest. So get voting, its down to you the members to make the competition work. Cheers Graham

Whatever happened to this competition? Seems to have died down?
