300zx

Here is my 300ZX twin turbo which is currently SORN'd for the winter.

Need to go out and take it a blast round the scheme actually, sitting in a damp garage is not healthy!

where are you trying to link them from? if they arnt working automatically click insert image and try adding the link in there?

 

[Larsson7]

Got them sorted mate, don't know why it wouldn't work, I suspect the internet was just taking the piss lol.

 

[Adey]

looks good man, one cramped engine bay! always wanted a drive in a z, had 4 s bodys in the past. i wonder if the engine from that would go in a 350? hmmmm

 

[Larsson7]

Nightmare to work on lol mega cramped.

With enough time and cash you could easily fit it in a 350.

Hubba hubba Daz, you know my thoughts on your car .... Droooool, we really do need to have that coffee and talk Z's, im choking to have a sit in it.

 

[Larsson7]

Roddy you know where I am mate!

Get that Megane over here lol.

Uber Retro cool. Lovely car but I would NOT like to work in that engine bay. Where the feck are the Turbo's?

 

[Adey]

if its anything like my old s4 which had a cramped bay, everything turbo related was an engine out job

You can see the turbos from underneath, that's about it though lol, I had a slightly loose turbo connection, took me about 4 hours to tighten it!

I know some guys have changed one of the turbos with the engine in place, but it took just as long as taking the engine out.

This Zed is still on it's original turbos, no bad for 21 years and 75k miles, and been running high boost last 25k, had them checked out with a scope last summer, almost perfect nick, also when I got the downpipes changed there was virtually no play in them.

So hopefully last a while yet.

Shame cars aren't built like that anymore.

Get it for a nice wee blast to my house mate ...

I would do, except there's no tax on it!

I can safely drive it round my scheme as it is private roads here so no tax needed.

The weather is also still not good, don't want any nasty grit in my arches!

Been a fan of these for years,went in one of my dads friends when it was new circa 92,very impressive,loved the Mitsubishi GTO as well

 

[Larsson7]

Just a wee update on the Zed.

Going in next week for an uprated fuel AEM 320lph fuel pump and 555 injectors.
Then get a Nistune chip soldered into the ECU which then allows it to be fully mapped.

Not sure how much power she will give, but interested to find out.

 

[roddy21t]

Who's carrying out that work mate ?

 

[Larsson7]

Hypertech in Bonnybridge mate.

One of the only garages I actually trust.

 

[DaveL485]

I would NOT fancy working in that engine bay lol

 

[Larsson7]

Would you believe the injectors are a 5 hour job!

 

[roddy21t]

Need to meet up soon Daz ....

 

[DaveL485]

Would you believe the injectors are a 5 hour job!

I absolutely would mate, yes!
