hi, i'm new got hold of a 300zx,

 

it has a couple of problems not too sure if they are related or not so advice would be good :)

 

got it washed and polished today, so here are some nice shiney pics :D

 

 

looks VERY good for 17 yr old paint i think:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thoughts and opinions please guys? i'm new to 300zx's need to know good and bad about this,

 

spec:

lightened flywheel,

cometic head gaskets,

lightened overdrive,

stage 3 chip,

2up boost controler,

shift light,

exedy clutch,

KYB G20 rear shocks,

big break conversion,

Tomie inlet cams,

highflow air filter,

twin BOVs,

lightened crank pully,

Borla Exhaust system,

recon turbos,

new valves, new center bearing on prop,

new cam belt

new water pump,

new MAF,

rebuilt engine,

 

 

 

 

now for the problems,

tps is faulty, giving a reading of 0.24, instead of 0.44, is it just a case of adjusting it or do i need a new 1?

 

and i'm not sure if it's conected but when i put my foot down it splutters and feels like it cuts out, like a fuel cut or somthing? as if i turned the engine off, but come back on it's own after 2-3 seconds.......but only when i put foot down, its ok under normal driving.....

 

 

 

thoughts please guys, good and bad, be honest :D

Would remove that strange orange graphic on the skirts,

 

Would probably neutralise the terrible colour clash in the engine bay too.

 

what about the white?(abflug)

 

looking to get fmic in the future, with hardpipe kits, so the blue will be gone :D

I'd get rid of the red too.

 

ABFlug is a quality brand, whilst I don't like stickers, yours does have the kit on it. :)

looked on there and the only 1's i can seem to find are 1s you have to do mods to make fit?

 

like these:

Straight swap.

As Si says they are the one's with two lugs so should be straight swap over for you , i bought the uk spec ones (i believe these have three lugs)

 

As i had to file one away to fit them but no issues with that

 

Chris:)

Welcome, love the car!

 

Wish i could say the same about the bodywork on my newly purchased Zed! Still you get what you pay for!

I'd get rid of the red too.

so you rekon leave the white abflug stickers on??

 

mesh is going black, orange stickers coming off :D

I think maybe yes. Although if it were mine, I'd probably take it off as I don't like stickers generally. Glad the mesh is going black! Having it orange reminds me of the BRM Rover 200s! LOL

 

Hope you get the 99-spec rear lights. :)

what i am thinkin is take off ALL stickers, black the mesh, and black wheels, thinking about goin for the stelth look, thoughts??

No, not black wheels...please. Those wheels are nice as they are. Black wheels IMO, unless on a wheel with a polished/machined lip just look so dowdy. Gives the wheels zero definition.

really? was thinkin chrome or black, then thought bout the stealth look.....i like it

 

also, any1 know where i can get an abflug rear bumper to match the rest of the kit?

If you like it, go for it. Personally think it's not a good look in the slightest.

 

You can still get ABFlug bits and bobs, but you'll be paying a fortune for one. Z32-zone used to have a link to some distributors for things like that.

Now on ebay - so you decided to sell it on right?
