Do you do boxes for the 300zx boot. I was thinking along lines of custom box with Perspex top with subs inside and a neon to display it

So how many of you have people in the know? I don't wanna lose my zx but I need help doing it. Do you know any welders, painters, fabricators who could spare some time to get my car sorted. Here's hoping. She is a 2+2 in ford electric orange. I need some welding done under body kit at back wheel arches I want to install my iPad into the dash and also build a Perspex/wood speaker unit in boot. Oh and I have to get new rubbers. I'd love to repay her. The idea is to make her like the fast and furious supra. Thanks all

Ok so leave that alone...someone else said O2 sensors

Well it had this cone filter on all be it clogged and crushed so I fitted a new one. Someone said the japs know their cars and I should re install a standard air filter

Code 12 air flow meter circuit*
ok so my car is overfueling guzzling fuel like it's going out of fashion. No check engine light but ecu reads code 12 air flow meter circuit??. Things I've done....changed spark plugs and fuel filter. Problem started after I replaced the very old tatty crumpled cone air filter. When I say bad...it was that blocked that the engine had almost crushed it inwards trying to draw air in. I'm guessing that the engine over fueled to compensate for lack of air?? I don't know as I'm new to this. I did remove and clean the MAS with proper cleaner for the job and re installed. At first car wouldn't start and when it did it was rough but then I realised I hadn't connected the sensor, so plugged that in and running smooth again but still overfueling. Someone said I need to get it tuned... I just need help please:scooter:

Ok now I'm really really peeved. Took all plastic surround from boot and found the two air vents, taped them over and went for a drive but still fumes...went home and where the vents are I stuck my hand down the holes behind wheel arches and rust rust and more rust and holes. I think I'll just give up!!! Gonna have to take back bumper off and get that welded..I wish I knew a welder....oh heck

Exhaust fumes!!
Mmmm that's interesting to know...I guess blocking them on a temp basis could tell if it works and also provide a resolve for all us smoke heads lol

Exhaust fumes!!
I believe it's exhaust fumes...a lot of people have talked about the aerodynamics and exhaust fumes getting in via the boot area but I could check the fuel lines over the plenum

Hi all, I've had my 300zx now for a few months and decided about a month ago to change the cone filter at the front as the old one was literally black and had crumpled where I guess the engine had been trying to suck air through a blocked filter. Now she has a lovely new one....but the car now seems to overfuel and drink petrol like it's going out of fashion and when I'm driving and open my window I get a smell of exhaust fumes coming in..:-( it's really frustrating. I'm thinking of cleaning the mass air flow sensor with proper cleaner for the job but any advice I'd gladly receive. I can't even go to my first meeting as it would cost the earth on fuel. Very sad. :hang:
