stage 3 muppet

sounds very similar to mine aswell also changed plugs aswell as they had fouled due to running poorly for a while

very front of the block or engine is a plug with 2 wires also has another sensor (single wire) next to it

also worth checking the temp sendor switch and wiring as mine was lumpy idle,poor running etc and felt like it was holding back:smash::smash::smash: was a combination of things but i found that my temp sendor wiring was faulty, as its all sensor/ecu based and relies heavily on the information from sensors... turned out that due to faulty temp sendor it was overfuelling badly as ecu thought it was cold due to sendor not reading ,and in turn dumped extra fuel for cold start /choke settings redone wiring and gained my smooth idle and performance back:hyper::hyper: also cleaned the maf and fitted the delimiter device lol worth a try mate you may be suprised temp sendor has a great effect on performance as its the one the ecu uses to to adjust fuel along with other sensors of course

cheers lads i did actually guess it maybe gunmetal grey but chers anyway car is actually on a g reg so hopefully is thx guys once again and also the comments on the pics :)

hahahah lol seems a popular colour heheeheh just out of curiousity what is the paint code or paint name as i want to touch in the welding repair on sill before it gets painted as looks a mess atm

hi chaps have another quick question figured out most of the controls and buttons on the starship enterprise lol ( 300zx):wack::wack: but am still clueless about 1 button ??? its like a slider button on the very front of the gear selector ,havnt the faintest idea what it does ??? im sure someone hear could tell me tho many thx :)

its gay and measured in hg lol as apposed to psi hhahaahah but never the less its a good strong 7 all the way ,spikes a little higher then drops to 7 constant :hyper::hyper: think this is std boost??? but yes all the way over on the gauge have a boost gauge am gonna fit soon that i have spare .... so i can check accurately .... then im gonna sort mig tips starting at 1.2mm then try 1.0mm as suggested hear will also dig out my det earphones out so i can check for detting once jets fitted when trying it out :cool: just so i dont kill it on test drive

nah used some pukka plugs that were for my cossie and work excellently on turbo motors ,much cheaper aswell and before all the techy,s slate me lol :smash: they are same thread ,size , heat range etc and work super :cool::cool: also cleaned out fuel system and changed filter and now runs much better :bow::bow: still not t4 and greys cossie quick,, but a fast little-ish weapon though:nana2: passed mot today so out and about in it once i put some rent on it ... also drilled out my 0.8 mig tips to 1.2 mm ready to put in once ive given it a few miles first lol will be buying a hks boost controller once my mate sells his scooby and will replace mig tips with this once bought

yeah tried that showing nothing at all so all is good mate ,just think it has some old stagnant gunky fuel bunging things up ... have ordered a new fuel filter and will clean system asap have took pics but cant upload them to photobucket just yet ???? for some reason cheers guys

like that matters on big bertha zed lol:nana2:

well at least my grandad covered seats are electric lol is this rare then for velour trim hahahah:tongue:

only have pics of my fords on laptop shame will take some pics tommoroow of the zed so you lads can tell me what you think??? :cool::cool:

have to admit the leather looks far nicer nut the pic of your interior looked good aswell liked the 6by9 door speaker pods very neat mate!! mine is a g reg i think 89-90 so is that series 1?? think interior will gro on me well either that or the mold thats starting to grow due to damp and sitting still for yr or so hahaha:nana2: some nice interiors there though guys it failed mot on no foglights doh, just found ultra secret hidden switch for them though hahahah ah well one less job to do for mot i suppose just needs small plate on sill and jacking point then back in quite shocked really ..not bad for what i paid to be honest also a quick qeustion what make turbo,s do they use are they ikk or ihi units or something else and is it true manual models have larger turbs??

sorry forgot to say may take you up on the offer on the diagnostic and smokes are no probs fella :hyper::hyper:

hey these jap machines new to me , my fords keep giving it funny looks on the driveway pmsl .....only ever had a swift gti before that was turbo,d , which was great but the gearbox was like chocolate ,got fed up of blowing boxes up in 2 days flat @ 6psi lmao hahahahh why would i do that when i already have 3 cossy,s and a mk1 mex as moneypits already :wack::wack::wack: looks a nice zed though mate like the rims have had a good nose as it did spring to mind but jesus wept thought no car would come close to my renault 5 gt turbo for cramped bay ,,, but no, nissan 300zx is the new winner :eek::eek: all the advice and help is appreciated though and most welcome you guys are a good bunch

thanks guys and yes i hear what your saying about the comparisons , two totally diff cars and diff charecteristics ,just meant to say that i expected a little more from the zed power wise thats all ... cant fault the looks as it looks mean , hahahah about the ford dash but honestly think the zed dash is terrible (can just picture a designer giving 10 yr old the job of positioning swithces etc lol) and the dash looks like its been left next to a fire too long and melted ,then someone covered bottom half with their grandads best chord pants lol least the ford has the excuse of being 80,s design thats my only gripe really apart from it feels down on power !!!:mac1::mac1: just feel it has a little more to give tbh have checked all the usual stuff all coil on plugs are spot on ,had new plugs ,oil and filter etc will be getting new k&n filter monday it needs de-restricting defo think its just a bit sticky due to being sat up for over a yr poor thing lol are injectors easy to remove as might get them ultrasonically cleaned as my mate does this

yeah sounds like a good offer may return the favour once my cossy motor built back up and new injectors and turbo are here:slap: were are you then bri??? also my name is jed was in uplands mot when i saw your car looks nice mate

no probs at all mate may join depends on the zed lol bit slooooow for my liking to be honest especially when owning 450bhp 2wd cosworth aswell just want it to smoke round in when my cossy in bits lol which is most of the time lately :eek::eek: is comfy though but dash looks like a blue peter special though on the zed hahah :shock:

nevermind there is always my addy no there isnt Allan

yeah apologies and fair play but would like to see the plate go to an enthusiast first thats all as it will go on ebay otherwise !! havnt got pics at the mo will get some tommoroow for you guys

yeah its c30 ox but on plate is c300x looks sound though :eek:

me too am wirral upton was it you going down manor road about midday ?????? if so big lol was only just telling my mot fella i only bought it as it was cheap and different and you dont see many which he rplied " you taking the piss look over there " as he points to said black 300 zx lmao funny that hahah
