Hi, Got a 300zx Fairlady 91 import Auto non turbo that is in need of some TLC. My local guy who maintains the car is a Subaru rally specialist so I figure that he knows his way around performance cars, and he has a busy garage and a good rep. So far I have been unable to find a 300zx specialist in the Manchester area? However, he has problems sourcing parts and this is where hopefully you guys could help. I need a differential, both front mudflaps (mouldings) can you believe that they got stolen off the car?!!! and possibly a steering rack. Possibly, because as yet a full investigation of intermittent (bit more than intermittent now) power steering loss has no…

Blimey........now what can I buy for the Z over in the states??? Seems rude not to.

LOL I can't remember your user name :rolleyes:

just thought i would let all of you guys know we were testing the zed today to try and find out why i couldnt get any decent boost levels and we blew piston 6 :cry: i know its not uncommon - but i'm well gutted. Regards, alex

I forgot how bad the brakes feel..... Before after well chuffed :)

To be fair this is an amazing piece of machinery, but as it's the yanks it's proberbly only a 125cc single cylinder 2 stroke really......;) http://www.meditech.ch/exoticthermoengineering/ete05.html Rich :duffer:

Manual boys - fook off now :xxx: lol Right, when I was last at Santa Pod I toyed with using overdrive on/off for a 1/4 mile run, including changing it on/off when reaching 3rd gear. If there was a difference, it was less than 0.1 seconds overall, but I didnt log how I did each run (crap experiment then lol) However what should the effect be, and in theory - what setting should you use, and would you go quicker by clicking it on (or off) part way up the strip? Eg on hitting 3rd gear? My thinking would be to have overdrive OFF until 3rd gear was reached, then click ON again. Or just leave it off? Any techies confirm the best way, bearing in mind how over…

Just a quick post to say sorry in case I have been offending anyone over here with the long replies on the 300zxclub.com forum, and causing them yanks to sterotype us - I know that some of you are probally pro-war. As you may guess my opinions on the war, WMD, etc, etc from the posts :rolleyes: I am anti-war, and love a political argument, but now I am giving up and just posting big posts in the vain hope that everyone can't be bothered to read the posts and gives up. Still the UK rocks, and the Uk forum is the best, especially as we have the banana :dance: . Anyway, will relax from teasing them about free health care, long holidays, open media, proper chocs, dubya b…

A new monk arrives at the monastery and is assigned to help the other monks in copying texts by hand. He notices, however, that they are copying from copies, not the original manuscripts. So he goes to the head monk and points out that if there was an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all subsequent copies. The head monk says "we have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point my son." So, he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original. Hours go by and nobody sees him. One of the monks goes to look for him. Hearing sobbing coming from the back of the cellar, he…

Sorry I mentioned it...

I cant believe it. Weeks of hard work and the engine is gone. It feels strange walking into the garage and not have to walk round an engine. :eek: The heavy lump engine is reduced to a size where you can pick it up. It is the strangest feeling. Anyways, the block is now at the engineers as well as the crank. Their first reaction was the crank didnt need anything doing to it but they will check it out anyway. Not bad for so many miles. You should have seen the size of some of the cranks and conrods they had there. I saw a conrod which was close it not over half a metre long. Anyway its good to know that the block is in good hands. :D He was impress…

I saw another Z today, that's 4 different ones in my area..........maybe not members though! Just wondered how many people on this board live around my area?? Coleshill and surrounding area's!! :D I know there's me in Coleshill I know there's Leigh in Solihull Danny in Erdington Jeff in Tamworth Baz in Great Barr Clarkey (just making the list in Wolverhampton!!) ;) Anyone else? Matty.

Broadband by wireless has finally reached us :D http://www.w20.net No more shitty phone lines, expensive ISDN or shatellite delay (Hurrah!) And, it's a symetric service, and the contention ratio is the same for domestic as BT use for business - so it's potentially a better service.

This place has proved to be the fountain of all knowledge on several occasions but can anyone help me out here? On the JWT chip that I've just bought, it has a 'T', 'A' and an 'F' circled. I guess the 'T' is for turbo charged, the 'A' is for auto but the 'F'? Is this reffering to the fuel you use? I've been on the JWT site & it looks like the 'F' or 'C' is reffered to as 'Reg', is this regular fuel? Assuming that I'm right, what do Fed & Cal mean in plain English if they are types of fuel? Cheers guys, Shaun :)

Just been looking at cars for the other half on eBay, and found this one with a pretty unique interior... '...LOOK AT THIS LOVELY LOOKING MAZDA MX3 THIS IS THE TOP OF THE RANGE CAR FOR THIS MODEL SO IT COMES WITH A VERY GOOD SPEC. BUT IN MY VIEW WHAT MAKES THIS CAR SO NICE IS THE INTERIOR WHICH IS HALF LEATHER AND HALF SWEDE....' http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2459953135&category=18211 Didn't think the car itself was TOO bad. Are they OK or really crap? I am looking for something small-ish but that I won't be too ashamed to drive.

Hi, I've decided my current car ('97 Rover 214) needs to be changed and will be up for sale come June. So around then I'll be in the market for a nice little japanese number :cool:. So far the 300zx has passed all my prerequisites. But There's a big list I've got to go through: Mitsubishi FTO (FWD, want 4WD or RWD) GTO (xpensive, and not hearing good things about them) Galant VR4 Nissan 180/200sx S13 200sx S14 Silvia S15 300zx Fairlady (looking good) Honda Civic CRX CRX DelSol Prelude Civic EP3 As you can see I've got a fair list, most will not be viable though. I've given myself a budget of £5000 and for that I expect…
