Sounds very much like a ptu issue. I would change the ptu for a series II first, (well worth the money, great upgrade and no more future worries regarding the ptu) then take the ol' girl for a spin and see if it still happens, if not.....result!!! If it does, repost here for alternative issues. Here to help buddy. The majority of long term 300 owners have a series II ptu. Al.

brake booster mice
Mine started leaking about 2 years ago.....:( Simply disconnect the hose on the brake servo unit and block it up. Easy peasy, japeneese :) Al Although you will get a bigger left leg then your right leg.

Ok..... with a boost leak when the car comes into boost it will stumble,hesitate,feels like running on 5,feels like fuel starvation. Is this what you are experiencing? Series I ptu are prone to overheating and cutting power. When cooled they perform fine. You say after 10-30 seconds of full throttle? Is this going through the gears? Is it an auto? Al.

Nice Zed on e-bay Usa
A little too much 4 me. Al.

1st problem sounds like a boost/vac leak to me. 2nd problem sounds like a series I ptu problem. Is it a TT? Do you have a series I ptu? Al.
-
hot starting problem
If you have a series I ptu then that would be my guess. Had the same symptoms on my 300 last year, got a series II ptu and no problems since. Al.

Tension Rods
IMO.... if you go for a/m adjustable tension rods, get a known make, no e-bay jobbies. I got AMS from Z1, which jimmer fitted. He said the quality is very good and a decent price too. Al.

noise from clutch i think
Mine is the same, but hey.....gearbox rebuild is looming. Al.

Those of you with X pipe exhaust systems. Restrictive?
Jim..... the Xpipe reduction in size will help the exhaust gases flow more then a H pipe and an individual exhaust set-up. When the gas flow hits the X pipe it speeds up and the pressure reduces, (venturi effect) the mixing off x2 gases can be turbulent, but in a close tollerent bore they will be laminar, thus resulting in a fast gas. To sum up, gas flow-smaller bore-faster flow and reduced pressure-fast gas mixture-faster gas expulsion. Keep the system buddy. Or you can go bigger bore. HTH Al.
