bovs again quick question on pressure
Those hks bovs are not suitable for fitment where the recircs go the car will stall on over run.in the instructions it tells you they will only work when fitted on the pipes feeding the plenum.found this out when i fitted them for a guy in the usual place and no matter how they were adjusted the car stalled constantly when your foot was let off the gas.

Front camber kit
you could always just replace the sagging front coil springs which is the reason most zeds get negative camber in the first place.

Brake Upgrade amongst other things!!!
spl parts in the states sell a bracket so you can fit 350z discs to the front of the car.the 350z discs are huge compared to stock zed ones.the bracket kit is only $195.ive seen brembos on usa flea bay for about $150 for a 350.cheap upgrade for the money.

Turbo upgrades
I put a disco potato on an s13 for a guy and it did lose some off the line performance but the mid range was fantastic.

Hesitating on pull off, Plesase help!
are your throttle bodies syncronised properly.there is a screw on the n/s of the shaft which can be adjusted to ensure both throttle bodies open together when you accelerate.the screw can be seen where the linkage is joined from the tps side to the other.worth a look anyway.

help!
Hi,Id imagine that the warning lights are a result of the crank pulley being loose.the drive belts to the altenator,and the power steering belts would have slipped.as for internal engine damage if you drove the car home then to the garage then probaly not.depends how hot the car got.if the front damper came off enough to let the cambelt ride off the crank sprocket then you may have had some damage.personally id get the cambelt checked.if they left the damper loose what else is??.have the drive belts refitted and try the car.with a bit of luck bud you may have got away with it.

Identify two things please
If the vtcs dont work then the inlet cam timing cant be adjusted by the ecu to give maximum power when demanded.

Engine removal
The sump sits so tight to the crossmember that it wont come past.the air con and p/steering pump will need unbolting from their brackets and left dangling on the pipes.personally i remove the altenator as it does make it easier getting to the plug.
-
lash adjusters??
the rattle at those revs will probaly be vtc related.at the back of each inlet camshaft youll find a solenoid.the inlet camshafts are nearest the center of the engine.follow the wiring from each solenoid and unplug them.if the rattle stops then you do have a vtc problem.may need new springs or the hubs could be on there way out.im sure someone on here has a good pair of hubs and the springs are only a few quid from the traders section.
-
Engine removal
do not take the box out with the engine as there is no need.leave it in the car and lower the crossmember by releasing the bolts and letting it dangle.i prefer to remove the plenum before removal but some people leave it on,its your choice.ive always taken the plenum off as the engines ive taken out needed rebuilding so it may aswell come off anyway.
-
lash adjusters??
the 300zx has variable timing on the inlet cams which is what i think you are referring to.the inlet cams have an oil pressure operated hub which releases or retains oil and swings the cam sprocket to give optimum power during acceleration.
