Thought i would keep this seperate from my other one as i dont want them all becoming confusing. Those people with built engines, what sort of warranty did you get? What sort of warranty would you expect from a expensive re-build? My brother has just had his RX7 rebuilt, it came with a 3 year warranty or 50,000 mile what ever comes first.

The sound of the gerbox no i want to know the finish sound where are located?

...one to each side of the fuel rail? :rolleyes:

Hi, I have been talking to a colleague (race car engine builder) who has some experience with the VG30 TT engine and he is telling me that the stock injectors are only good for 420hp/330kw max (at 6000rpm) - if we want more then it's fuel rail/bigger injector time - is that a true'ish statement guys? :o

Hi, I am after a list of Garages and engine builders who are capable of building a high spec 300zx. I'm sure some may question why I am asking and what the score is with me and my car but i am not at libity to say at the moment. I will just say it is one big mess which needs action taking. I really need to underline that this will be a very big spec 300zx and looking at running allot of power. No dis-respect to any other garages but i need recomendation of garages/builders who are up to the job. Someone who would take on a project that has already been started and seeing it through to completion. Ideally a garage with a full set of services, from …

Using genuine Nissan parts is simple they are the best and often only cost a small amount more than non genuine parts. However I can see why it can seem a cost saving to use spurious brands as in most cases they look exactly the same and without any back to back details its hard to make an informed decision one such area is cambelts. So with this in mind a non genuine belt was purchased and compared with a genuine Nissan belt the following photos shows the order of things as and as the finally show there is a big, big difference and I think some of you guys are going to be surprised. Picture one the start on the left we have a BLUEPRINT belt and on the right a …

hi everyone im thinking about buying a theft recovered 92 300zx but I have some questions before I do. Apparently the car was recovered and has no keys. I was able to track down all the parts and was wondering how hard of a job it would be to replace the ignition and all the locks. Any information you have is appreciated.

cars been off the road due to crash december 08 :rolleyes: done a re-shell back in April, and had it starting last month :rolleyes: but today was the first time ive been for a drive in it :) whilst i did the re-shell, i used the NA diff, with the TT engine etc etc now i know ive been used to my 1.0 three cylinder corsa for a while, :p but the cars fast as hell! honest its quick as hell with the NA diff, i havent connected the boost solenoids up yet, and i think the NA diff is compensating for the 3PSI safety boost! cant wait to get boost on 14 PSI think its gonna be scary :hurl:

Hi guys, Have a look at this: Clicky The guy seems keen to sell it and it reads well on paper. I just wondered whether the mileage was TOO low? Perhaps it hasnt been used enough for parts to have kept ticking over? Am a bit of a n00b, apologies if the question reads that way! Cheers!
