Just bought zx (Problem allready) :/
The response Sod off was nothing to do with being told about rules, it was in regards to being told I was talking bolox about the BHP of the car. Sod off is fairly polite considering... Furthermore some of the guys on here handed out quite a bit of negativity towards the car and my sales thread and funnily enough everything about my add was correct and Nick has bought him self a very nice under priced 300ZX. Maybe in future Gary you will see both points before you jump down some 1 elses throat.... Good day

Excellent m8, get used to it before you turn that boost up cause if you think it's quick now you just wait ;p no traction and all that it's lethal :) Don't forget to send me a pic or video if you track her.

Because it had boost leak and was pissing oil from 1 of the blue pipes, the clamps that secure the pipes were as tight as it would allow so I had to buy some new ones for the main leaky bit. As said to Nick if hes going to ever run it at 13 psi again then ideally a full change of clamps would be a good idea. This is the only reason it was ran to 4500 RPM I did not want to risk it. Once the 2 clamps were replaced it was fine. But really the clamps that are on it are not the best as they are all fully tightened and should be tighter.

Just a quick hello as I am the chap that was selling the car so I'll address a few points. Gary Wilson you will note post 18 of my original thread was in reaction to some 1 being a bit of a divvy. Now to the car, the section about the dyno, every bit of it was true, it's the 1st time I have ever had a dyno done and yes the car was running on awful tyres which were quickly replaced. The original owner had it running at 400 BHP not myself I could not get the power down in this weather. When I bought the car it was running 13psi, (not 1.3bar) and at that the car was bloody silly fast and hard to do anything with in the wet. the remote, I spoke to Nick about this or his dad and I honestly cannot figure out what had happened. I had owned the car since late November and the only real issue I had ever had was a squeaky fan belt due to a lack of locking nut. Hopefully you got the remote sorted? Same goes for the smoke, I had had no issues of smoke from the car ever other than when it was floored on the dyno and the chap at the dyno place said it was due to a mod that had been installed which put a little more fuel in to it to prevent detonation??? Knowing very little about these mods or tuning in general I took his word for it, after all the car has had a fortune spent on it and I had done around 2000 miles in it since purchase without issue. Furthermore I would not post a reply on here if for a second I ever thought the car would or will cause you any problems, instead I would be running in the other direction. I genuinely hope you enjoy the car and it treats you well, it is without a doubt 1 of the nicest and quickest cars I have ever owned and the reason for sale was simply for funds to finish my 240z. After the text I received I am assuming all is well and your not worrying any more :) good luck with her and stay safe, I would not hesitate to buy the car back in the future should I have the funds available. Best of luck regards James

Hey guys/gals New owner looking for a bit of info
Cheers for reply's you 2 I will have a look at those codes and check, as for the big blue bar I'll take a look at that too when I get a minute. It looked like it could be a strut bar but i was not sure, Can't see how it would fasten on, Maybe I can take a picture. As for engine I have no idea without taking it apart, would not suprise me if it was all modded as well but I have no proof so I am not going to make stuff up. But it don't half shift! Don't really want to sell it at all, but money timing and other stuff is making it an expensive toy for me right now.

Edited to say 9/13 psi... Not sure how you figure the numbers are made up, I have a print out for the 316... with the issue's. Unlikely to make figures up when 316 is impressive enough. Seems you need your coffee

Hey guys/gals New owner looking for a bit of info
You're a helpful chap... Would it be Psi? Either way it's normally 1.3 on the controller and was only running 0.9 that day. So thanks for being helpful and all that, but maybe you could sod off.

Hey guys/gals New owner looking for a bit of info
Hey, Thanks for that. I may rewire then to come on with the side lights too and stick a white bulb in rather than yellow. Had the same wheels on my FD but if I am honest they are not my favorite, I really like yours! Also mine are 19inch which is a pain for costs but surprisingly they fit without touching anything.

Hey guys/gals New owner looking for a bit of info
Hey, thanks. So they should come on flashing with the indicators or just stay on? I have yet to see them on on when putting hazards on or anything. seen some pics with them just lit up like they are similar to side lights?

Hey guys/gals New owner looking for a bit of info
O last thing, while replacing the light bulbs, I cannot figure out what the yellow bulbs are for next to the front indicators? They are in the same housing and are on the very side, the bulbs seem in tact but I cannot see how to turn them on or what they are for since the side light bulbs are in the fog light housing...

Hey guys/gals New owner looking for a bit of info
Hello all, Just bought my self my 2nd 300ZX, I'll be honest I'm a trader and I actually bought this to sell it on but I have kinda fallen in love with it, I think it's even gone above my rx7 and s2000 on my favorites list which I never saw coming. I saw it on ebay and on a whim emailed to see if he would swap for my diesel Jag, 3 hours later I had the car sat on my drive and now I am doing the little bits it want's to make it sparkling again. So it's a 1994 Manual TT 2+2 in pearl white and from what I can see the outside is almost standard apart from the alloys and several subtle mods like clear repeaters. How ever once you get under the engine and inside it's a different story and I was wondering if any 1 may be able to help, It's done 77'000 on the clock and I assume those are in KM's as it is an import, there's a bit of paper work but most of it is Japanese and I have a bill made out to John for £994 for a service last year. This was not at a Nissan dealership and it has a list of things done including egr valve cap and the engine taken to bit's. Under the bonnet is full of blue silicone hoses, a race rad (I believe it's alloy) a strut bar a very big aftermarket air filter, a full exhaust system. On the inside is short shift gear set up, blitz access ecu, blitz turbo timer, apexi avcr electronic boost control. Full custom white leather interior including dash center console etc, oil temp gauges, Full fusion sound system (sounds awesome) After market interior lighting (not flashy just a nice off white light) aftermarket blue light clocks, Blue bulbs for all the instruments etc, even 300zx kick plates on the door that light up green. The hicas has been removed and in any gear where the motor is within boost it's very hard to get the power down without losing the back end and I am wondering with the known above mods (rad, full exhaust, boost controller plus ecu, airfilter) what kind of BHP 1 might be expecting the car to run? I've had a lot of car's including a 330 BHP Rx7, an s2000 and a newer STI subaru with the Prodrive pack putting 0-60 at 4.2/4.5 seconds and if I am honest this feels like it would pull from all of them if I could get the power down. I am tempted to have it put on a dyno run but what with knowing so little about the car other than having an expensive service and the oil being like new I don't really want to risk it. If the Mileage is genuine ( I don't see why it would not be) then it's done under 50,000 miles. So would any 1 of any idea on the above or if the previous owner (john) was a member on here assume 1 has spent £1000's of pound's on this and I would love to know if they did it or if it was done in Japan. I am told by the guy I buoght it off that he picked it up off him because he had caught it on a pole and it had upset him and made him want to sell. When I got the car it needed the following and almost all have been done, Sound system head unit was broken so that has been replaced (currently trying to get a Dab in there also) needed 2 rear tyres and full tracking (when it went for tyres and tracking I found out it had fully adjustable Koni suspension and looks to have been set up for track/drift use running -2 camber(it does correct easily)) It's just had new LED bulbs to replace the old yellowish ones and I bought carbon wrap (white) to go around the center console as some 1 has damaged the paint on it. The main bit would be that it needed £500 of paint down 1 side due to what I would say is a bit of poor drifting into a Ballard but I was told the removal of the hicas made him forget about the way the car turns. Cleaned all the leather with expensive Leather treatment and redyeing cream. The only thing I have left to fix is the drivers side window regulator as it doesn't work. But everything else including the heated seats, folding mirrors, all the buttons you name it it's spot on. The Reg is L82peo if any 1 can help me out, I am seriously considering keeping this car and I don't like to cheap out on something of this nature and would rather have anything it needs doing done rather than find out afterwards. Could some 1 post me a link to the benefits of being a member also as I would want to if I keep it and are there many members near Sheffield.
