Just ticked round to 100,000 on the clock :shock: The thing is I have no idea what proportion was in km and what is in miles

On Bideford Rd around 18.35 yesterday (thursday)

Black Zed spotted on a garage forecourt whilst on my way to the Pig & Whistle Pub in Lea, Preston from Lytham St. Annes. I was on the A585 IIRC.

Hi Lee, I replied to your post on my thread about needing a Volks centre cap: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=106047&page=2 but you may have missed it. I can't PM but if you can mail me at friday76@lycos.com we can sort things out if it's still ok. Failing that, if you post up an email address I send my address over to you straight away :) Cheers, Leigh

Over the last few weeks I've been incredibly busy, not only with customers cars but also sorting out the finer details for ZXtreme's new premisses. I'm pleased to now announce that all the paperwork is now sorted, payments cleared and ZXtreme will, as of 1st March, have a dedicated unit near Rotherham, South Yorks. If you want more details, get in touch :D Cheers, Andy

Righty-ho, not sure if anyone remembers/cares, but a few years ago when I had my old Rays/Volk wheels, one centre cap was missing. Managed to find one on the Japanese yahoo auctions and got a Japanese chap in the US who runs wheelchoice.com to bid and send it over to me. Well, I've asked for his help again in getting hold of the double DIN centre console for the Z32 meaning I can fit a true twin-DIN headunit. Fingers crossed this will work. Z32-Zone don't ship internationally, but wheelchoice send things internally in Japan before shipping them overseas. Unfortunately, the part is £120!! But I think it adds a nice finishing touch to the interior. Updating it wit…

Peeps, Im looking at a zed this weekend, which for the age of the car would normally have the series 2 climate control. I have noticed that it has manual "climate control" with sliders and knobs for changing the fan speed and temperature. Is is possible to convert it from the manual setup to the full digital climate control??? If it is, how much work is it, and what needs to be changed, i.e is it just the control pod on the dash, or is there other bits that would need to be changed? Cheers Nick

when car is ticken over the revs go up and down from 700 to 1100 but when you start it when it is cold first thing the revs sit at 1500 and drops slowly and then start to go up and down again is this just a blocked hose

Hello all, After getting home from work today I was just letting the Z cool down and turned the stereo off. I heard a whirring noise coming from the rear / boot area. Occasionally there was a clicking noise while the whirring was happening. Tried turning ignition off and back on again but the whirring returned. Didnt even need to turn engine on, the whirring came in when ignition was on. Is this something to do with the Hicas?? Can I 'reset' or check the system some how?? Thanks in advance ZX_Steve PS I have 1992 UK Spec Manual TT

Having had the benefit of a Z with a full custom cream leather interior I can say that I really appreciate the luxury and as a lot of other Z's are getting old and tired interiors I am sure a lot of other people would do too. This post is a bit of market research. I will explain. I work in Walsall which is world famous for its saddlery trade and manufacture of leather goods, with suppliers of the finest quality leather products in the world based here supplying royal family, various car manufacturers and designers we have the skills and talents to do anything in leather, I kid you not. Therefore I pose the question how many of you guys would be interested in fu…

What water pipes are their at the back of the engine apart from the matrix ones ? Anyone got a got pic of the rear of engine too ?

I have what sounds like a big end rattle on startup from cold only, the rest of the time it's fine. it doesn't rattle when i bring the revs up gradually in neatural and doesn't rattle under load, also there is no rattle on startup when warmed up. I know the oil pressure is good, i've checked it with a workshop pressure tester Any ideas

My windscreen wipers stopped working on tues just as it started peeing it down and had to drive to silverstone with no wipers. The plastic cup at the bottom of the wiper motor has broken, it attaches to the rod which turns the wipers. Has anyone got one or a wiper motor that is still intact. Urgent cos i use the car as a daily driver and wont really be able to use it when it rains. Any help appreciated. Cheers Graham

Theres a new site for the Z's http://www.fairladyzx.com Seems good, will be a mix of tt.net, 300zxclub.com and 300zx.co.uk i think

Right everyone. I am looking for some ballpark figures here, it is time to do my Zed and I have found my inspiration. How much do you reckon I am looking at for a reasonable bodykit (nothing too flash), fitting and a full respray in existing colour (gunmetal)?? Also, any recommendations of bodyshops in the Nottingham area? Thanks

Hey all, Just put 500quid into my engine (NEw Cambelt Kit, Water Pump, Tensioner, 2 02 Sensors, Oil Change, Auxillery Belts, Alternator) and Thank god its running super smooth now but last 2 Starts on cold when i have started her up the Revs have been jumping from 750 - 1100 just up and down maybe 3/4times before it settles at 750! Now its never done this before im guessing it has something to do with the Cam timing perhaps??? Also another new prob (WAHEY!) is Twice now when coming up to Traffic lights if im in 3rd at 30 i put my foot on the clutch and before i put it into 2nd or Neutral the revs die all the way to like 200rpm so lights dim and it cut out on me (Stal…

Two shortie slicktops in the same area thats not fair ! Was it you ???? P.S I was in my white smart car flashing ? :hyper: :nono:

my car was raised and each wheel checked for play in all directions. seemed fine. if this is the main method for checking common suspension problems (such as bush failure) and bearing problems and it was fine can i pretty much rule this out? see below thread for more background. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=106561&highlight=bearing
