New to the club
Welcome mate for a moment i thought it said Cyprus i thought thats a long way to bring a zed back :)
-
clutch slip in an auto?
torque converter not locking up might as well get a manual conversion for the hassle
-
Where do I start?
yeah i realised i sold it a while ago with a load of other stuff. I do have a garage full of other top parts though :)
-
Where do I start?
my Mines Ecu has gone now but that was a crazy map on it :)
-
Where do I start?
boost controller, ECU remapped, one piece prop :) could up the injectors to 555cc as well thats kind of the next moves then intercoolers, turbos and full engine rebuild :) id fit a one piece prop with your conversion though iirc £250ish
-
Small spaces and manifolds!
Good job i take it those are the Stillen headers? I did think of having them myself and swapping them as i thought it would be much easier and loads of room :) Glad i didnt
-
Where do I start?
yeah pretty much as long as the chip has been designed for the car and properly tuned instead of just a set from another car used as in replacing the ecu with a upgraded one.
-
Where do I start?
ok how about a boost controller? will be able to increase boost to a safe 14psi then when needed. Its worth keeping eye out for uprated intercoolers as well they pop up every 4 months or so. But then its onto bigger injectors, tuned Ecu would be a good start as well to make the best use of what you already have

Where do I start?
is the engine running completely standard at the moment Daffy? Id start with a air filter and Apexi always seem to come out tops in that area so look at sourcing a Apexi cone they go for around £70

Zelda back up for sale?
lol was on for 13k last week something just doesnt look right imo i think its the spoiler full spec still not up though do they not know?
-
Ebay discs any good?
NA calipers take a smaller disc you wont get a TT disc on a NA caliper thats why im swapping mine to TT ones to fit the discs i got off Baz. The difference between alu and iron you can tell by looking at them alu ones have vanes on the outside iron ones dont. They used the alu ones for about 2 years on zeds and i prefer them tio cast iron ones however i know other people dont. As well as Jeff said the other day he has seen less caliper problems with the alu ones :)

Did you get a partner because you own a zed.
Ha it did actually work for me it was the zed that started off my current relationship as i pulled into the services she loved the car and i saw her looking out of her shogun smiling in amazement at zedward and then i pulled a few moves and now we are seeing each other :)

Thinking about the 300zx.
Welcome mate good luck searching i think you will be hard pushed to find a UK spec with good bodywork that someone is willing to sell Marty

Mike from Zworld update
Good eyes :) 4k for that paint job seems far too cheap too if that includes the paint as i just had a quote of 5k to respray mine in pearl yellow. Think it is a rubbish ad though with him not really knowing the car and trying to sell it better than it is. Nothing on there either to get 350 bhp 300 if he is lucky however someone seems to be bidding on it with 39 bids

Looking to get a 300zx
Welcome mate maintenance aint cheap unless you can do it yourself but they are great cars. All depends what you are after whether it be a more reliable NA or a TT. Also where abouts are you?

Just a Quickie..
i think as well they use the same locations all the time as measurements would have to be taken of the road and assessment paperwork filled out otherwise they cant use the site. I dont think they can just park up anywhere and start shooting though may be wrong
