hi,i know this has been covered before but can anyone post a diagram of were i need to connect my electronic boost controller.i`m having trouble trying to work it out from previous threads:confused: any help will be very much appreciated thanks milly

Pie in the sky at the moment but this question has been on my mind and i know that your rep is good on engine rebuilds. Have you ever done an rb26 or 2jz conversion and would you take on such a project, or are you better off having a stronger VQ engine built to match the reliability of the other two. Say a target of 500hp at the wheels, would the swap be more exspensive than a standard big power rebuild. Im serious with the question because its a possibility for me in the future. Thanks Damien

Whilst doing some unrelated checks I noticed the exhaust was touching the petrol tank on the zed pictured below, now it did not look too bad at first but even so a bit of hanger adjusting and there was a nice safe gap, however as you can see on the closer shot the tank where the exhaust box was rubbing was quite concerning and certainly would of been if left for much longer. Worth checking out any odd knocking sounds under the car sooner rather than later. Jeff TT

hi everyone, the standard rear spoiler on my car has been removed and replaced with a carbon fibre fin (not to my taste) looks like it belongs on a f1 car, whoever did this has also removed the perspex strip aswell, now i thought it wud just be a case of putting the standard spoiler back on aswell as the perspex strip, but iv seen quite a few spoilers that seem to cover over were the perspex strip wud be, and also a few were the car has both on, can anyone help me by telling me if i need both or just the spoiler please? the cars a 93 tt fairlady import, iv only had her a week and as yet dont really now much about them except ther bloody quick! thanks very much.

Anyone fitted a set of 350z wheels on a 300zx and if so what tyre sizes did you go with. Thanks Jeff TT

Saw a J reg red zed this morning heading east on the A14 looked quite tidy anyone on here?

Well today at least the big ball of fire in the sky made an appearance. wel it did in Sussex 5 mins from leaving my house come to a crossroads with traffic lights on red, There stood on the opposite side waving at me was another black zed, zxmark. Nice time to light up the wheels on green light. Facing each other. Looked good and two black zeds accelerating quite hard and each other.:bow: Good to see you mate.

Well what have you got that very few others have. Should be something that cant be got hold off anymore, or is very limited. My input. A complete set of deep pile fairlady mats for a lwb, in A1 condition. An under stereo cubby hole box, again perfect. and a pair of Chrome not plastic but metal FairladyZ badges for the front wings (believed to be of an original 240z or similar), posted on here if anyone had or has seen, but no, also never seen on ebay or any other sites. What else is out there that we havent seen before.

Right, I've had a search around the forums and am still unclear about this so I'll ask in the hope that someone can help me! A few weeks ago I started up the car (at night), turned on the lights and the rear foglamp turned itself on. If I pressed the foglamp button, it had no effect. If I put the high beams on and then pressed the foglamp switch, all the lights would go off. This was pretty amusing but ultimately unpractical. This issue seemed to resolve itself just as soon as it started for reasons that are beyond me. Today I went out for a drive and all the electrics were working fine. I get in the car to head out again this evening and the headlights are…

What do you think of this then.

Well got my parts yesterday to do the wheel stud, and gaiter. Took the wheel off the car. undid the caliper, slipped it off the disk, and noticed it was leaking at the pipe as it goes into the stud. yay another problem. Hammered the crap out of the stud and the caliper dropped off ? lol Replaced the stud, removed the offending brake pipe, went and got a new one, Replaced it. replaced the steering gaiter. Thought i know, ill bleed the brakes now, did a search on how and what to do, followed it to the letter. even used JeffTT's advice and did the ABS thingy in the boot first. then the fronts, and then the rears. Still have very spongy pedal then it goes…

Has anyone got the Autowatch 160RLI system fitted on their vehicle. I am looking for a user manual as I am having problems with mine. Every time I go near the passenger side window (Closed) when the alarm is set, it gives one solitary blip. I am told it is a Cat. 1 Thatcham system with a double immobiliser. Thanks.

Has anyone seen,heard or had a lpg fairlady??? Just a thought,,,lol

how can i copy a blank jobsheet into my computer then be able to add text to it to fill it in, or alter the original text of the job sheet Paul.

My son has a Toyota Celica convertible (M Reg) and the key is stuck in the ignition. The only way you can remove the key is by disconnecting the battery. Appreciate this is not a ZX, but has anyone had this experience before? I am guessing that there must be relay or something that prevents removal at some stage. Any assistance appreciated.

Car went into zedworld on saturday to have an exhaust to manifold gasket changed... hopefully the problem with oil smoke coming out the exhausts will be sorted too and anits booked in for an MOT to get her back on the road... cant wait to get the car bck as know they will do a top job

Parked in Ipswich a white LWB import with a private plate, looks in very nice condition, whoever the owner is should be very proud ..

Just had one of these fitted from the cat back,mirror finish/ss/ twin exit... Are they any good?

Hi, I have been thinking of buying a interior trim kit to replace my tweed. The long term plan is to change the tweed panels for red and then black leather seats in the future. If I can find any that aren't ripped :cool: My question is where can I buy the trim panel kit? I remember them being on ebay a few months back for around £60 but haven't seem them again. Also are the decats on ebay any good for n/a car? The seller is 2fast2cool from memory. Now my car is loud :) so is it going to be undriveable and will I get pulled by the cops for any reason. Its a pre 92 car so mot doesn't matter im just thinking the noise lol! My car has been known to set car alarms …

VERY RARE SIGHT TODAY!! 2x 300zx TT`s together, seen in Southport today, looks as the silver one was pulling away from the gun metal gay one. :D Waz it you?????????????

Well im sick of the faded grey look of the front bumper so i have decided to spray it black as suggested by FunkiSi. Just finished the primer coat so a bit more to do yet. Then the idea is to smoke the front clear lights to blend it all in. Love doing these little projects. Happy days

And it passed again:hyper: That is the fourth MOT since i have had the car and it has just sailed through. The only thing they warned me about was the front tyres, so just been out and got two new ones and had the alignment done, Well chuffed.:)

I took my Z out for a wee spin this morning, for the first time in about 3 weeks......:nono: ......the sun was out, the roads were quiet and the air was cool. It didn't take too long to remember why I love these cars so much:bow: We're off to Bath for the day tomorrow; to visit their annual Christmas Market and have lunch in The Pump Room. Guess which car I'll be taking.........!! Richard:)
