I agree, change that chip as soon as you can. Superchip maybe OK for Corsas or Saxos and stuff, but is not really good enough for a car like a 300ZX. If you have a good chip and the timing is right, 14psi should be OK. However, the stock boost gauge is never any good. I run at over 14psi according to mine but my aftermarket gauge says I am running stock 9psi. Its worth getting an aftermarket one to find out exactly what the turbos are doing. Stuart

What the rear window heater? Dont think it is on my car. Otherwise I cant really help you. I know Andy Z is trying to flog a whole tailgate for cheap. If you car is the same colour it will be a lot cheaper than buying a window

Nice. :D I think the North needs a meeting again soon ;)

Is the glass laminated? I would guess the rear window cost an awful lot. Stuart

I would be a little surprised at tits squirting out steam. Where abouts did this fabulas steam come from?

The more the power has to travel and change direction it loses power. So a 300ZX will lose power in the fly wheel, clutch plate, gearbox, propshaft, diff, drive shafts and so on. Usually installling a lighter component will make it more efficent so a lighter flywheel will make less power is lost in the flywheel. A lighter propshaft means less power lost in the shaft, which means more power at the wheels. 4 Wheel Drive systems lose a lot of power, becuase there are more diffs and the power has to travel a long way. I have seen a dyno of a stock R34, which had 278bhp (0r something) at the crank and only 202bhp at the wheels. Front wheel drive cars and mid/rear engine rear wheel drive cars lose the least power, because the power doesnt have to travel far to rear the wheels. I have seen a MR2 Turbo with stock power of 245bhp, it had an induction kit and HKS exhaust and it has 245bhp at the wheels, because very little is lost in a rear engine rear drive car. Stuart

When you get a BHP for a car it us the power at the crank, which really is usless. The real power is WBHP which is Wheel Brake Horse Power or RWBHP Rear Wheel Brake Horse Power. This is the power which actually makes it to the ground and causes you to move. The Nissan 300ZX is said to have 300bhp but only 240-280 will reach the wheels depending onthe type of transmission and the condition of all the parts. Car companies always tell you the power at the crank because it sounds better, and different things like different transmissions will cause different BHP at the wheel even though they have the same engine. You can increase the RWBHP by making the drive train more efficient. Lighter flywheel and straight cut gearbox (For manuals) will increase power to the wheels even thought the engine power is the same.

I have had my PC turn itself off because of the heat. The most it got to once was 85ºC :eek: If you read http://www.tomshardware.com the last lot of AMD have not been up to the power of the Intels it is meant to be competing with and £ per performance the Intels are not better value. This was a few weeks a go now, but things may have changed since then. Stuart

I know a disadvantage why not to use a AMD. I have always had AMD's but you can get a P4 2.4 for £121. A 2.2 gig AMD will cost you £330 But they do work in a different way to Intel. Also AMD over heat. I have an AMD 1.6gig and it regulary goes over 70ºC when playing games and I have a large aluminium case with 4 extracting fans. Stuart

Most people on here have Blitz or Apexi. I have the Apexi and I thought the power increae wasn noticable. I havent heard that stillen is the best for power increases, but all induction manufacturers say that theirs is the best. Stuart

http://www.scan.co.uk They have a section called today only where they sell a few items at an even lower price. Motherboards are motherboards unless you get the top memory and or you over clock. I have always liked AMD because £ for Mhz you get more however lately its not been so true. On http://www.scan.co.uk a Pentium4 2.4gig is around £125 and I think that is with a heatsink and fan. Motherboards are less than £100 now. However you many need new memory now as new Motherboards run DDR memory which is a lot faster. That is about £50 for 512. Scan is in Bolton, a little treck but they do deliver for £10. Stuart

Is the GT41 the new GT 40? I thought they car calling it the Ford GT40 as where the old one I saw was just called the GT40. They wanted to emphersis on the name Ford. It looks exactly the same too doesnt it? Stuart

The bad ones are dying out and only the good ones are left now really which pumps the price up. Like some one said on another thread, the stock ones will fetch the most in a few years time. If you wanted a E-Type Jag, which one would you go for? The 100% original, or the one with new wheels, lowered custom interior and body kit? Stuart

I noticed a difference with my UK car. It ran better and I got slightly more to the gallon.

I was asking DaveW if he knew anything of where you went. You just disappeared for a while. Good one

Isnt Jeff TT that part of the country? To be truthful a good place to start looking is on this forum see of people are selling cars here. That way you know that the last owner is an enthusiast, and you can also search about how the car has been going, as most of the people post up any problems they have had. Stuart

Where abouts are you in the country?

what is the picture from? A video or programme? Clarkson bout the 300ZX in the top 100 best cars because he said, it was a very nice car to drive Stuart

On the M58. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm GT40. Looked lovely

Yeah its a Z280 it has been discussed on the Zclub.net forum. He changes it to a Seleen. Stuart

Why was it out last night?

You ever been round Haydock Island in your Z? I think I have seen you on that roundabout. Stuart

G Williams, What colour is your Z? I have seen a few Zs round manchester.

That's it. This will be my last post for a while. Im going sulking in the corner until you lot learn to grow up. :( So :p to you lot Stuart

Cliffords have always been a little tetchy! That my be the problem.
