Personally I would not recommend going too far overboring, I think it throws the engine out of spec too much, for reliability issues!

Gearbox oil
John wasn't referring to your post old chap, just letting people know that the lsd will only work properly when your use the correct viscosity oil with it :)

BIG THANKYOU to The ZEN garage
Cheers Paul, Martyn and I were chuffed with the texts you sent, the mechanicals of your zed are totally spot on now! Guys we have some nice big BHP rebuilds coming up but we are still waiting for the big one, Martyn is itching to show off his race car engine building skills to full effect!

Gearbox oil
I only recommend redline mt90 for the gearbox, it is a proven oil that helps the synchro problem on the zed, oilman's box oil is an unknown quantity as of yet! With the diff you have to be careful and get exactly the same viscosity as the OEM oil, as the LSD works only when the viscosity of the oil is correct!

high fuel usage on n/a 300zx
Hi Jack, It doesn't operate like a choke and would not really cause high fuel usage, although it is always good to have these items running within spec. To be honest vaio I would do a plug and oil change first and test the fuel pressure.

high fuel usage on n/a 300zx
Sorry mate can you clarify what you mean, you are typing like I do with a bad hangover :) The hissing noise is normal when you undo the fuel cap the fuel tank is pressurised, and the car can still run well with a dodgy fpr!
-
high fuel usage on n/a 300zx
Depending on it's service history, a plug and oil change wouldn't go amiss, also maybe check the fuel pressure with a gauge to see if the FPR is still within spec?
