hi sorry to bother you guys again.....but i need some help.

I have an imported auto TT. the problem is that it has a boost controller fitted which i dont think works. So basically i need an expert to have a look at it and give me the extra PSI and advice about what to do next to increase the speed. I live in Cov.

 

Oh....while i am here can some one give some advice on the best way to race in an auto.....I usually just put my foot down in DRIVE, i thought someone might have some tips...

 

cheers

Cant help u on the turbo bit. But as for racing an auto

 

If u dont mind knackering up the box eventually - do this

 

Stick it in 'D' Switch Overdrive off.

 

Foot on brake pedal - bring rpms up till the cars trying to break free - Then dump accelerator and let brake off - Whoosh!

 

I've never ever done that to mine and I dont recommend u do it either! But it will go like a rocket.

 

All I ever do is Take overdrive off - leave in 'D' use left foot for brake pedal and rest foot on accelerator - then let the brake off and dump the accelertor and off ya go! Not much will start off the line as well as that!

Rare breeds, zeds in these parts.

 

Mines an auto but cant give any racing advice as i drve like a girl now to stop me getting banned again;)

 

(when I say drive like a girl, I dont mean I drive like the girls on this forum!!!!)

What boost controller is it???

Excellent!!

Sure we could all get together for a pool session and have a beer or orange juice lol

 

 

Do u play??

hurry up Mr Shrimp and get well

 

lets organise somit say round my birthday.... 21st May that would be great:D :) :)

i ve tried everything. i`ve followed the instructions on the website and even tried turning the knob to see what difference it would make....all to no avail. in other words anything i do doesnt work...

Are you sure it's still connected? Do you have an aftermarket boost guage? I'm in Lancashire near Preston if you want me to take a look ;)

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Andy....i have the standard boost gauge in the dash.... how do i check if its connected......it would be really great if i could get someone to have a look. how far are you from cov.....

 

 

Emero.....that sounds like a good idea.....i really do not know anyone around here.......i did meet one Zed owner on the road and pulled him over....he didn`t seem to happy. he wasnt a member of the forum either.... anyway i`ll leave it to you guys to sort out just let me know when and where and i`ll be there....

About 120 miles m8. Email z32@btinternet.com if your interested ;) Sounds like its either not plugged in or something isn't connected properly.....

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

cheers mate........ i`ll email you and sort out a date in the next month or so....bit busy at the moment. thanks for your help

Ok m8 cool ;)

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

no probs i'll organise it :)

 

I'm going up to Andy Duff's this weekend, for a full service and a new cambelt

 

it takes me about 1 and 1/2 to get there.., worth it though:)

A West Midlands meet? Sounds good :cool: :D . You sorting it Emero? ;)

 

Pete

rc, is your car newly imported?? As i think that boost controllers have to be disconnected to pass the sva, i know this to be the case on turbo timers so maybe the same stupid rules apply, perhaps this has been done then not hooked back up again, or not done correctly.

 

If you or any of the rest of the forum are ever passing through Nuneaton at weekends give me a bell if you like on 07801 442937 or 07966 891954 always willing to put the kettle on and have a nosey at another zed (cant fix the boost controller though).

Weekend of the 17th/18th would be good or 24th 25th May

 

It would be great to celebrate my birthday and have a safe fixed Zed to drive woohooo....

 

 

Any takers .... Local to Leamington Warwick, Stratford Brum, Coventry, nuneaton Daventry and surrounding areas???

 

I'll search for venue or can anyone recommend one??

errrrrh I know it's not local to you but where would this forum be if people only answered the actual question which had been asked! :D

 

There is a Japanese Car Meet in Bracknell on the 25th May http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16469 just in case you guys fancied a longer run...

 

Cheers - Gio

emero i would love to meet up. I think i will be going to the jap fest on the 17th so the sunday should be cool i.e. otherwise the following weekend. it would be great to meet the Local 300zx owners.

 

b19rks thanks for you number....i`m always around your area so i`ll give you a bell.......sorry to be ignorant but what is your name or do i call youb19rks.

 

rav

 

p.s. i am so excited now!!!!!!!

Its Berkeley, or Barks (hence b19rks!!).

 

I'd also be up for a meet, though the thought of a fookin great convoy down to Bracknell is tempting dont you think??

 

I'll never forget the Brighton to Box Hill convoy, 20 zeds diving along in a line, should have seen the passers by's faces!! It was like a mobile circus was driving past em!!!!!

A pic of us stopped in a layby and if i remember right blackzx/sussex doing a headcount!!!

My birthday on 16th so could treat myself to another run out to the Japfest, sounds great.

 

Ok to come to your place sunday b19rks,prior to meet,then after a lovely cuppa on to the meet!(i promise to bring the plugs this time:D );) Tony
