Pants, thought that might be the case or tizer would have changed it. How easy is it to remove and change the connectors? If anyone has a spare one please let me know ta. Ed

One of my coil packs has a zip tie holding the connector onto the top of it. I removed the zip tie to see what would happen and it stopped firing on that cylinder. On closer inspection the clip that holds the power wires onto the top of that coil pack has broken off. The clip appears to be part of the connector on the end of the wire not the coil pack. What i want to know is can this wire easily be changed by removing the throttle body cover and unpluggiing it? If so anyone got a spare one? Put another zip tie on for now and cylinder is firing again!

Just finished doing mine. Painted red with high temp caliper paint, then sanded the lettering back to metal with a block. Fitted brembo disks and new pads. looks the nuts for the 100 quid it cost me for the disks, pads and paint!

Mine does the same but I'm also loseing coolant and getting air in my system. the water that drips out is cold even tho the coolant temp is hot? defo losing water tho and its not smoking etc

The best quote I could get for Royal Purple was £153 + £15 delivery! This was for 5 litres of racing 41 engine oil and 6 litres of max gear oil. Ended up going to my local and got 5 litres of Silkolene Pro S 10w/40 for £28, 4 litres of Millers fully synth 75/90 for £32 and 2 litres of Millers motorsport lsd 75/90 for £16 total = £76! I know that Royal Purple has been proved to increase power etc but im pretty sure I'll get a power increase with any new oil over the current 15 year old stuff!

Do Jap cars use the same oil filter as UK cars?

I'm about to paint my throttle body cover and I want to ask people who have painted thiers if they used normal paint or high temp paint? Is normal paint and laquer up to it?

Just to stress again how impressed i was with the quality of the kit :)

Mine was from 800bhp too. very well made part, very good value. The main thing is the shifter bushes, when i took mine appart i only had half of one lefi on one side! Just replacing these makes a big difference but fitting the shorter shifter as well makes the box feel more racey. I too did the bottom bolt up too tight, loosened it a bit. The bolt on mine has a built in washer so should be ok!

see my poll on this subject, shows numbers of who had problems and who didnt. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=74882&page=2&highlight=decat I'm still going to decat mine, but at the end of summer so if it does kill it i will have all winter to change the turbos. I'm going to get my own custom decats made with boxes and maybe some small restrictors. No there wont be as much performance increase as a straight through but better than 15 year old clogged up cats!

i bought a fiesta to drive to work after 3 weeks of spending 90 quid a week on fuel, now can do a whole week on 20 quid! Also means i can take my time with the z instead of rushing jobs.

Thats what I'm going to do. Adding small stainless boxes and maybe small restrcitors into my phnw pipes when they turn up. Gotta be a power increase over the 15 year old cats!

I live near the sports centre in belper, I always put derby on the location because no one knows were belper is! I'll give you a ring some time and come look at your chevy! At work at the mo in notts skiving as usual! But might give you a ring at some point over the weekend/next week. Ed

where abouts in derby are you mate? I want to come at dribble!

Yeah i set the z up in gt4 the same as my car - even down to ride hight - wicked Only problem is, its black not red! Planning on going in september this year and cant wait, anyone else going around sept?

when you going mate, i also may be going in september?

Yeah i have a 1990 jap z so would like more info on this

When do the gates open anyone?

Before my clutch bit the dust i was planning on building a mac mini into the car. They are about the size of a pc dvd drive and have an external power supply. Mac OS power managment is 100 times better than xp/windows standby and hibination and would be much better in a car. If you have to use a pc then you can get mini atx mobos which are tiny, Via do them with onboard processors. You can get power supplies with built in 10 second ups's but they are expensive.
