Blitz boost controller questions
18psi :ohmy: Hope you've got the appropriate mods mate to run this level of boost. If not, probably safer to run at 14psi. Not sure what manual you've got but I used this one which is farly easy to follow: http://www.sr20tuning.com/Blitz_SBC_i-D_manual.pdf By scatter, assume you mean scramble mode. Might also be worth changing your controller settings to psi to match your gauge. Do a search on here and you'll find lots of posts on setup.

Can anyone check some part numbers for me please?
I think your suspicion concerning the SWB is correct: http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=3108 http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=68products_id%3D609osCsid%3D38fd8c8cd61bbf05fc2d3ce6d6a42e78&products_id=3109&osCsid=7cb5aee88e5217a2f81ca7651bb49784 Looks like the correct parts are as indicated by Andy.

Tokico White Shocks... Adjustable?
I think the whites are the Illumina range which are adjustable. There should be a 5 way adjustable dial on top.

Pace intercoolers
Looking for some guidance from anyone who has these fitted. What have you done with the stock ducts and undertray as these are too small for the Pace's? I have a 99 spec bumper and am trying to figure out how to maximise the air flow to the I/C's. Obviously the ducts are beneficial in directing the incoming air but are they entirely necessary or will the inlets on my bumper be sufficient? If possible, want to try and avoid fabricating new ducts. Cheers

Opinions please
Bump..... :wink: Would love to particularly hear from anyone who's got Tokico's.

Opinions please
Right, my current suspension consists of Koni Sports all around, Stillen sway bars, poly bushes and OEM springs. Handling is great but ride is stiff around town even on the Koni's softest setting + they're a PITA to adjust. I want to replace the Koni's and am considering Tokico HP's, KYB Gr2's or even replacing with a set of new OEM's. Not really fussed with adjustability. The sway bars control roll very well, so need the shocks to provide a firm (equal to OEM or +10/15%) but comfortable damping. Any feedback, opinions, recommendations greatly appreciated. Cheerz

A little favour
Would a Jap TT owner be kind enough to look at their relay/fuse box in the engine bay (passenger side) and tell me the spec/part number of the "sub fan" relay. Called Nissan and was advised they can't help me without the part number as their screen data is in Japanese! http://www.cazracing.com.au/catalog/images/P7270038_edited.JPG Alternatively, if anyone has removed their aircon system and wants to sell their relay, I'd be intersted. Thanks

Cylinder 6
Thanks for all the replies, guys. Have been doing more research on No.6 and there are definately known issues for this cylinder (heat + leaness = detonation!!). I don't think it's the piston as I'm not gettling any grey/blue smoke from the exhaust. So could well be the ring or valve but a wet test should help to narrowing the possible issue. Anyway, sounds like the engine may have to be dismantled at some point in the future. In the meantime, it seems to be running fine so I'm just going to enjoy it over summer. Paul - I'm down in South Norwood, near Crystal Palace. Don't really know any other Zed owners around here other than Steve (Cybernet) in Croydon. Our cars seem to be a rare sight in this neck of the woods. Must try and meet up some time to say hello. Cheers guys.

Cylinder 6
Thanks, Paul. Nice to hear from a fellow SE Londoner. Planning on doing the wet test in a few days. Assume a teaspoon of oil is sufficient? How did you resolve your similar problem? Cheers

What spark plugs for higher boost?
For those running with the NGK PFR6B-11B, I found the following article of interest. http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/technical/view/922678/The-6-Ps-Proper-Preparation-Prevents-Piss-Poor-Performancegt.html

Cylinder 6
Morning All A recent conzult power balance test highlighted an issue with No. 6. Despite this, car was running fine. Anyway, decided to change plugs yesterday for the cooler NGK PFR6B-11B's. No 6 plug had some oil on the end and evidence of a burn mark. Other plugs and all coilpacks were fine. Did a dry compression test and cylinders 1-5 showed 165psi but no.6 stopped at 90psi :sad: Re-tested and same readings. As I said, the car seems to run fine - no hesitation, misfire etc but clearly there's a problem as there should only be a 14psi maximum difference between the cylinders. A little research suggests that as there is low compression on a single cylinder, it may be a broken ring, burned valves, or a burned piston. 1. If it was any of these items, would the car still run without any notable issues? If not, what symptoms should I be encountering? 2. If left unattended, what potential issues can I expect? 3. Other than a wet compression test, is there anything elseI can do to diagnose the problem? Thanks, any thoughts or comments would be really appreciated.

Spark Plug Gap
Thanks, mate. Will leave as is and give it a go.

5 Cylinders, sounds like a Tractor
Had the same problem. A little fiddle with the PTU connectors quickly resolved the issue.

Spark Plug Gap
Hi All Does anyone know the recommended gap for the colder NGK PFR6B-11B plugs? Stock gap appears to be .044 but for higher boost (15-18psi), some recommend .035. Any thoughts on the correct gapping for say 14psi? Cheers

Symptons of a boost leak
Yep, job for the weekend I think. Can anyone point me in right direction for a set of optimum readings for all the data fields in Conzult? Thanks

Symptons of a boost leak
Thanks guys, all very helpful. Having borrowed a Conzult tonight, the Power Balance Test shows a red on cylinder 6. It's not a large drop compared to the other cylinders but enough to get a red. May be this is causing or contributing to my problem? I also noted that idle display was swinging rapidly back aqnd forth between 750 - 850 RPM. Very erratic on Conzult but not really noticable in the car. Is there a guide to show the optimum readings for all the different data fields in Conzult? I guess I'll have to check the injector and plug on No. 6 to see if this solves the problem or highlights a new one! Trust it to be the least accessible cylinder:( Thanks again.

Symptons of a boost leak
I've recently noticed an intermittent problem. Sometimes, following full boost, the car seems to be hesitant, a little juddery, almost as if it's running on 5 cylinder. This sometimes disappears with further driving or on restart. Would a boost leak or a faulty knock sensor cause these symptoms? An ECU test showed no faults. I've checked all accessible connectors and they seem fine as is the series 2 PTU. The engine harness was replaced a few years ago. If this was a constant problem, I guess I would look at the plugs, coilpacks, injectors etc. But this is an intermittent problem but annoying just the same. Any ideas? Cheerz
