ok i have standerd 300zx tt i have modded and tuned many cars over the years but never a turbo whats the best steps to take on tunning the 300zx tt i would like to get around 370 to 400 bhp so am sure many on here have done this so would like to here best way to go about this any info on tuning the 300zx tt would be great

I'm no expert but 370 to 400 is easily achievable...

 

you're best way forward is a writeable chip in the ecu along with the usual exhaust, air filter, induction and injector modifications..

 

have a look at the Dyno results thread and then check out the cars and their mods that are getting that kind of power...

Get it running perfect first. If you go down the power route before maintaince you will likely get egg on your face.

good advice... :)

Couldn't agree more with this! Any extra time/money spent at this point will reap massive rewards later.

ok sounds about rite so were do i start all the belts you can see are new engine oil and filter . new oil the tranny oil is done to .the cam belts am not sure i would do this same time as the doing the mods what else is a must

well your car is going to run like a dog without a good electrical system and correctly working components...

 

so there are a few guides out there about the correct setup and tweeks... I'll get you a couple of shortcuts... hang five..

right, besides the FAQ section on this forum (witch be the way is good)...

 

these are all nicked from a guy on the US forum http://www.300zxclub.com/ and have links to other forums...

also the Oz forum Tech section http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?cat.8 and http://z32.wikispaces.com/ for heaps of info and a really good version of the FSM.

and the tech section of http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/tech/tech.aspx

 

get yourself a conzult cable and a few versions of software (free are: Conzult, ecutalk & dr300zx)

enjoy the read.....

thanks for that will have a good read tonite and start going thro it hell of a list like but if thats what it takes then will do

Is there anything actually wrong with it?

nothing tall no every button switch works auto box works great engine pulls like train

Just double check that there is nothing wrong as these cars are deceiving at times lol. Id get it up to zedworld when you can and get them to run a health check its better to spend money now rather then later if anything does surface.

who and were is z world? i found a place called z centre some one told me he was good any idea?

z world specializes in 300zx and is in Birmingham Unit 31, Coleshill Industrial Estate, Station Road, Coleshill, Warwickshire B46 1JP.
