Thanks mate, i'd guessed it was something like that but i thought i'd better check first, bit too expensive to rush and f**k it up. Thanks Baz

Hi Guys, Today i've tried to remove my original eprom chip to fit a socket, all the solder appears to be out but the chip is still very tight, i'm just wondering if there is any glue or whatever under it, i don't want to risk doing any damage so i thought it best to ask before getting a crowbar under it :D Baz

Hi Mate, You don't need to remove the box to replace any of the solenoids, remove the sump off the box, you can then remove the strainer and about a million little bolts to drop the valve body down, the solenoids sit on top of that.. Not too bad to do really, i did mine but it didn't cure the not changing past second so i converted to manual to save any future hassle. Solenoids and sump gasket cost about £140 from nissan if i remember correctly Hope that helps Baz

Hi Mate, Have a look on Z1 Motorsports site in the technical info, there is a write up on there that may be of some use. http://www.z1motorsports.com HTH Baz

Great Barr, 2mins from J7 M6, whereabouts are you? The only other Z i see round here is a red one about once a fortnight on the way to work. Baz

I've got a set i brought off e-bay for £40 all in, i've fitted them and had no problem at all, the ones i brought were IK20's and they are all i have seen on e-bay so they probably are too. If you've upped the boost you should really be looking at colder plugs i.e IK22 or preferably IK24 Baz

Thanks mate, So can i trace them back and rip them out with the auto box ECU or do they go into the main loom Baz

Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me what the 3 plugs in the attached pic are for, i've had an auto-manual conversion but i don't remember anything being connected to them beforehand, i'm probably wrong though.

Hi Guys, The correct oils required for the gearbox and diff:- Gearbox--Redline MT90 Diff --Redline 75w90 gear oil I've got 3 litre of each to allow for a little spillage, just over £80 from Demon Tweeks inc post HTH Baz

Hi Mate, I would highly recommend a set of Greddy gauges, i had a set from Chris@getgreddy, they look great and are really easy to fit because all you have to feed into the car is 3 wires. Chris did me an O/P, W/Temp and Boost for £305 all in which is a good saving on everywhere else i looked at them. HTH Baz

Thanks for the info guys, should make life a little easier. Baz

Thanks Mate, That makes ordering it easier, i'll do that now. I don't expect anything to be easy on these things anymore, what takes 1 hour on any other car takes 5 on the 300, it'll make for another exciting saturday anyway :rolleyes: Cheers Baz

Hi all, I'm planning to change my gearbox and diff oil, i've done a search and found that 75/90 is needed for the box, i'm planning to use Redline MT90 but i can't find what goes in the diff, the manual says API-GL5 but i've got no idea what that is. Any help appreciated Baz

Hi Mate, I bought mine from NE Performance for £50 all in, which seems to be about as cheap as you'll find 'em. Baz

I got mine from a company called Trilogy, it's a nice alloy look switch with the fog light sign cut out and you can pick yor choice of illumination colour, there number is 01280 822865...i'll post a pic in a bit Baz

It's a good idea if you can to use your card through paypal, they give you the full exchange rate, i've just brought an APEXi AVC-R from ultimate Z for £270 all in (marked as gift ;) ). My cards getting battered to sh*t at the moment, too many bargains. Baz

Hi, Your clutch fluid reservoir is just to the right of the brake fluid reservoir, between the manifold and the bulkhead. It is on mine anyway. HTH Baz

Eh? You weren't supposed to use costic soda :D , must have been knackered to start with mate. Baz

Hi Mate, I put mine in a bowl of hot(ish) water with some washing powder and let it soak for 20 mins and then washed it through with the shower, came up like new. Baz

Hi Mate, Possibly me, high level spoiler and 18's? Baz

Hi Mate, It costs me £45 for a tank of optimax and i get 160-190 to a tank, works out at about 12-15 mpg :eek: Baz Standard except HKS Filter, Scorpion cat back and Blitz DV's at the moment, i've got a JUN chip sitting in the draw ready to go in, i can see it dropping to 4mpg :D

I'm just off m6 J7 in Great Barr Baz

I phoned Nissan today for a upper plenum gasket, they quoted £73 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ....I've just been on Courtesy Nissan's site and from them it's $6.65 (£3.51) +shipping. Do these idiots actually expect anyone to pay these prices!! Baz
