Would the ECU store why it has done this? I was on the motorway, pulling hard in 4th gear and it reverted to safety mode for some reason. It was quite a hot day, but I had a tank of fresh V-Power in it. I really don't know why it would go into safety boost. It does it VERY occasionally (every few weeks or so). So it is a very intermittent problem and hard to trace. Anyway, I gets off the motorway, go down a DC and het stuck behind a car doing 50. So I pass him, and so does the Z4 behind me :D We wait at the lights, him on the left, me on right. He has his top down and his beautiful lady has her long blonde hair flapping all over the place in the li…

Hi guys, I've got a bit of a head scratcher ! My drivers side hid has started to stobe, so far i have. replaced the ballast replaced the hid bulb Yesterday i swapped the relays over but this didnt make any difference. Interestingly though i decided to run the live from my battery to the hid unit and it was fine problem solved, any suggestions on where the prob could be ? thanks people

...please folks are there any alternatives to the hard thin water coolant pipes running off the tubs as i got a couple of pinholes and thought there maybe something less likely to pinhole in the future also when struggling to remove the blasted egr nut on the passenger tub manifold (so i could blank it off) some swarf dropped into the manifold...what can i flush / clean with (carb cleaner...WD40...plus gas?)..i guess a few particles may find their way into the tub but dont want to bugger the tub by using the wrong cleaning method i thank you chris

i decided to enter the drag racing at the meet in bishopscourt today, their timing equiptment was not working properly and everyone only got one run timed mine was supposedly 16.32 HOWEVER in the 4 runs i did all against skylines, (2 r32 gtst, i r34 gtst, and 1 r33gtr) over the 1/4 mile i beat them all by a good bit, not bad for an old granny and her 17 year old z, im so fooking happy:hyper:

Hi Twitty :cool:got an email off Simon who was at MFN tonight saying your Email dosent work and can you contact him Bud.

Not sure if it was was actually you or a spec of dust on my mirror but it moved once I left the A66:tongue:

i have developed a rattle that come from behind the timing belt cover at very low revs as in 1000rpm, the car is running spot on but its concerning me cos the cambelt has just been done, i cant really say its been fit wrong cos duffman done it so it must be right, does anyone have any thoughts. Regards, Chris.

At the junction of tooting bec today around 2.30ish? We saw each other and honked/waved. Not seen you around before...very nice looking Zed!

Fitted a Carbing front brace,read all about them but very suprised how much stiffer the front end feels and more feedback through the steering,i would recommend it !!

On my way home from leeds this lunch time and came up against a z4 on the M1, looked as though he wanted to test the speed so away we went, to cut a long story short, the zed hammered the z4 over and over, blasted away from him for about a mile or two, then slowed down to let him catch up, then gave him another chance, and he got battered again, so much fun, he came off the m1 at the same junction an pulled up along side me at the lights and commented on how well it looked and how well it went round bends where he had to brake, and he wasnt expecting to get blown away so many times.:bow::bow::bow:

Parents seen blue 300ZX same colour as mine on a M plate around filton around in the afternoon / evening time

Hey, Was in Bideford this week and see a red one parked up with 300zx.co.uk sitckers in the windows and what looked like split rims. Anyone on here?

Thanks to Joelyp for photo shopping ths idea almost ayear ago!!!!! I have finally got round to doing it. I wanted to tidy up the rear and see if I could make the rear look wider by making it less fussy. The reverse lights and fogs still shine through (Just about!!) What do you think??? Andy

hi can someone plz enlighten me on taking the heater matrix out i was told yu can take it out without taking the dashboard out if so how ? i looked and shit myself it aint goin in that gap......:rolleyes:

Hi people, I have just taken out and checked 2 of my spark plugs and found that they are BOSCH PLATIN FR7DP1X and I'm assuming the other 4 are the same and thay look ok. I did a search on this site with no results. So my question is, are these plugs any good or should I bin them and get proper ones ? CheerZ Paul

Has any one still got the mould for this bumper or anything like it i belive its a trust copy .thanks.:cool:

We have coming up soon on ebay, the following parts........... Front mount intercooler 99 spec front bumper and light 99 spec rear spoiler, with tailgate I just wondered if this was andy z i know hes not a trader anymore but i wasnt sure if this was him or not it mentions supercar parts on his ad.

I passed a black Z heading slowly east on the M4 (lane 1), before junction 15 (Marlborough) around 2ish this afternoon. I think the reg number ended in PCE, the driver was bald-ish (no offence, I am as well!!) I slowed down but couldn't wave as I was concentrating on not hitting the black Range Rover Sport crawling along at 69mpg in the middle lane. I was in a black Merc SLK. Anyone here - perhaps on the way to/from Z-tech? Richard:cool:

im thinking about some sideskirts - as ive never had them on my Z before i need to ask, how much do they 'lower' the car by? i ask because im pushing my luck just getting into the driveway and im worried i'll ground the sideskirts if they come down below the standard skirts too much.

where's the best place that does 'soft' number plates? ive tried fancyplates but they dont do them.

after promising myself at the start of the year not to spend any more money on her after the rebuild... ...after buying a new interior... ...ive just gone and bought a new front bumper :headvswal :cry: the car made me do it I tell you!!!

Hi - My Zed's just failed it's MoT:cry: Main reason was "Nearside front steering rack gaiter split". Any advice on where's the best place to buy one? Also an 'advisory' that the fuel pipes are corroded. Is it a big job to change them?

Just fitted hids, and tried to earth the hids to the car to get them to stay on when I flash. Hasn't worked:headvswal I have a different wiring system than stock as they have a direct feed from the battery. :bow:anyone got any ideas??:bow:

how easy, ive noticed that my rear brake pipes are slightly corroded are they an easy job, they look a bit akward, may just pay someone to do it, could they be rerouted to make them easier to replace
