Pm paul@swz im sure he can give you a few spare relays if not i seriously hope its not the loom! And thanks for coming over tonight mate, and i just ordered my S2 ptu :D

I know the oil pressure gauge in the dash is really bad but what is normal for it to stay at? Mine can go from 25 at times and when i put the heaters on it will go to around 50 :S???? Also what does your car idle at when it is fully heated up? Mines currently having fun from 300 to 800 and trying to stable idle, if i turn heaters on it will go to 1100 and hold fine. But if i turn heaters off and slow down at a junction sometimes it will completely stall. I ran a consult and it came up code 54 (i have a chipped auto ECU inside the car and my car is manual). Also i cant go over 6K rpm, i have been told this could be loads of things, but the last ptu died a while back, im currently on a second PTU (s1) and its starting to do what my old S1 did, i will buy a S2 and see if that solves the problem, but if it doesn't any suggestions? Thanks, murt :) Some of my car info: Chipped ECU running at 14/15PSI Uprated air filter 52K on the clock (full service history as well and a uk 300 :D) Manual Cats are still in place but uprated backboxes

you have to remember these are 80's sports cars, with a few small mods and making the car just a bit lighter you can east make 250BHP, just simple mods like exhaust, getting the ecu chipped, induction etc. And im sure that the standard internals will not take up to 8000RPM.

Welcome :)

If he turnt his key the whole way around and pressed the button then the steering lock would of came on, it only wont come on when you put it on turn 1.

Welcome

If you are free 2nite ill pop over, im not much help but im sure we can fix it

But thats like dont what ever you do think about this and no matter how hard you try not to you always will! Its dam annoying!!

LOL you need to get out more mate! XD

My 300 is an everyday drive and the only thing that went wrong on it so far was the PTU, but i think all american cars have a series 2 PTU (power transistor unit (i think)) so there is nothing to worry about. There are loads of things that can go wrong on these cars but if your 300 is maintained correctly then there is nothing to worry about :) The hicas (rear wheel steering) can be disabled and taken out if you dont want it, its not too much work, a short wheel base (2 seater) are very nice cars, you can get them in various forms and you can chose from a NA engine or a TT engine. The 300 can be hard to work on if problems occur such as turbos, you have to take then engine out unless you got very small fingers and can manage to get the turbo out! The miles per gallon on 300zx are normally around the 18 mark.

I know the us has high mileage cars but it just wouldn't be worth you buying a uk car, getting it shipped over then having to drive around in a right hand drive car when you drive on the right! I should be near you soon, as if all goes well i should be going to college in portland OR :) , if you need any information just ask :)

Welcome

Np dear

Hello there Stuart, I think once the administrators read your post they will remove it as you are advertising as a registered user. You will need to talk to an administrator and possibly become a trader. Im sure they will be along soon to explain etc

Give him the best of luck from me

Another update lol, just had car jump started and i took it on a drive and its now fine :) ptu is working correctly and car is working fine :), going to take it on a long drive tonight, around 30 miles or so

Mine expires in 2015

Glad to see the Zed up there

Mine is currently down my street with a flat battery :mad:

Welcome :D

you guys are always welcome to come join us over the bridge if you want:)

Welcome to the club

Just an update, my flat tyre has now been replaced with standards so i can go and get new tyres so i can put them on my existing alloys. So i went to turn the key and now i have a flat battery. GRR cars seriously

Very nice :D and i agree with rich666 you dont want your pride and joy being ruined even thou there is only like 10 cars on that whole island LOL :D

The difference in mine being chipped was stupid...at 4100RPM the VVT kicks in along with the turbos (at 2500rpm) and you really do get pushed back in your seat LOL
