TheRealNips Coffee morning and afternoon drive
Re-attempting this meeting if people were interested? I was thinking Sunday 21st March Weather should be better for a nice drive. How would that sound for people?

Unless mine have had the ABS removed at some point?

ECU information
I did, thanks. I fitted it yesterday and the car doesn't cough with accelerating, but it struggles to accelerate with using more than 50% throttle, but I'm hoping to solve that. If you pm your PayPal, I'll send you some money! Thank you!

Some did, some didnt. Not sure why (unless anyone can shed some light on this?) My 1990 NA JDM had ABS, my 1990 red JDM TT doesn't and my new 1990 JDM NA (was a TT) doesnt. Was it an optional?

Best Driving Roads of Europe?
My wife and I took one of my Zeds around Europe for 14 days and visited 7 countries. I picked a route with many good routes and roads. The route from Bastogne to Luxemberg City through the mountains and forests was good. Excellent fast single lane road with sweeping bends and nice views. Lucerne to Menaggio via the San Bernardino pass was beautiful. We took the old road (there is a newer motorway), most was tarmac, but with a bit of old cobble. Twisting bends and huge drops made this great fun, but not fast unless you have a death wish! Driving around Lake Como was amazing. Nice roads twisting along the coast through tiny villages perched on the side of steep mountains. Just watch out for the italian drivers (and police who want to stop you to look at the car!) The SS1 from Genoa to Monte Carlo. Its motorway (2-3 lanes), but its right on the edge of the Med. Its got something like 90 tunnels and even more bridges. Excellent for tunnel blasting! Its a great drive on a sunny summers day because you pop out of a tunnel and you are on a bridge over a steep valley with the Med sparkling on your left, then suddenly back into a tunnel. I loved it. Those are my favourites so far! P.S A couple of sections of road that are good: Somewhere on the A7 (I thiink) from Milan to Genoa, there is a section of road that is four lanes wide and dead straight for nearly 15 miles that is almost always empty. I put the zed in the fast lane and went to 145mph before someone pulled into my lane about 2 miles ahead of me! The A75 in France has a massive bridge spanning a valley called the Milau bridge. The road from the south leading up to the bridge is a two lane dual-carraigeway that twists through the mountains before spitting you out over 1000m in the air as your cross thhe bridge. On the north side there is a service station and viewing area to see the bridge. It is spectacular and well worth seeing. Here is a link to my thread: I would love to do something like this again with more Zeds if we could plan it

Nissan 300ZX TT 1991 Black (NRD)
The car was bought in July 2019 as a winter project. It had been sitting on a drive for 10 years and needed a bit of love and rebuilding. The engine although in place, wasn't connected up, so that needed doing. There was an after market intercooler kit to fit and a bumper to fettle into place. Everything was done myself and I have learnt a lot about zeds through this project! The car is now running, albeit with a seized caliper! At the moment it is staying on the drive until the caliper, timing belt and other service related jobs are done when I can then MOT it and start using her. Future plans include: Tidying up engine bay, fitting decent boot lid, spraying all alloys the same colour, finishing the ICE system inside and working out why its the only zed that will drive onto my really steep drive!

ECU information
When I put a TT ECU in the car by accident it ran really smoothly until 3000rpm when it had no power. When I put the NA ECU back in it started doing it's hesitating cough as you first press the accelerator, pulling away from stand still can be difficult as it keeps bogging down and trying to stall. It's done it for years, but now its time to fix it. So I thought get another ECU and start from there, especially as the TT ecu ran smooth and it pulled away fine. In the past I have changed the MAF, all filters, spark plugs, checked all wiring and it still does it, so hoping it's the ECU!
