I know there are 3 different colour stichings for the handbrake (E-Brake) boot but im not 100% sure which if all of them are OEM boot stiching. The one in my 89 NA Jspec has a white stich to it but did the z32 come out with black and then in the 99 it was red??

spotted near mcdonalds on felling bypass this morning :cool:

Possibly going to be working further afield than I thought! Currently work 3 miles away from home but may be driving 20 miles each way a day, purely motorway miles. How much do you reckon it will cost per day on an N/A?

I have an Auto TT fairlady, and ever since i have owned it, it stalls when i brake hard - but only when it is cold, once the temp is up to normal it is 100% fine. Oh and when its cold - when i set off the revs dip right down and then pick up as if nothing has happened - only when cold though. Anybody had this problem or know anything about it??? Its not a major problem as when its warmed up the car is 100%, but its quite annoying when its cold.

Couple of months ago. I passed you in traffic as you were being stopped by the cops. What were tugged for anyway? Hope it wasn't for :duffer: LOL Nice body kit!

I am starting this thread to gather feedback on members opinions on last weekend. Personally, I thought it was a great success and feel both clubs can benefit from each others strengths. However, I want to know what the rest of you think. Please feel free to post up your thoughts and comments, whether they be for or against. All I would ask, is you try and make them as constructive as possible. Any posts that are not relevant will be moderated. Thanks! Steve-300ZX Membership Secretary

Hi was it you mate on the roundabout near the big sainsburys in camberley? I was in my big blue and silver Carry Gently lorry going round the roundabout. I tooted and waved.

Just like to say thanks to all those members that turned up at the weekend and ensured the re-scheduled Billing event was a big success. The weather was perfect all weekend and only goes to back up the ZClubs decision to cancel Billing in July. I for one am convinced it was the correct decision. Even after three years in the club, I still met many new members. In fact, I reckon there were more people at the event that I hadn't met, than there were those that I had. Duffers, Saz, Crotchrocket, Rag Top Rob, Ceejay, ShelZX and many more. I must take this opportunity to say a special thankyou to Steve Burns and Derek Sulley (and the rest of the ZClub Committee) for …

Cant believe it, autobox had it me thinks, driving on the A3 this morning, going along 75-80 box kicks down to lower gear and wouldnt return to final gear, was getting like a sort on grinding squeeking sound about 2 mins previously to this, so pulls over, get aload of smoke out the back when i stop, which has never happened before. Anyway went through the gears, no hope for reverse, as soon as you select it, it sounds as if something is rubbing, drive will select, but as soom as you move of you get the same grinding/rubbing sound. It does sound as if it is coming from the left hand side of the engine bay but never can really tell. Anyway just abit of advice on boxes, what…

@ 3.30pm Barcombe Mills, East Sussex i'd been out pond dipping with my youngest son...we had caught nothing when the biggest gathering of frogs (eyes) i've ever seen drove past .....@ 30 Toyota Supra's in a convoy :tongue:

Excuse my stupidity but is the manual TT engine the same as the Auto i know they have different turbos & cams but just wondered if a manual engine will fit straight into my Auto or what i would have to do to make it fit?? thanks

Red one with a largo loop spoiler going the other way to me at the bottom of Stamford Hill. I waved, but didn't get a reaction.

The Conzult threw up that my VVT isn't working, you can hear the solenoid click but it doesn't do anything??? I have a wiring problem to the boost solenoids. Could this bee Loom related??

Ok this isn't good, When traveling under acceleration in gears 2 and onwards i have a very bad vibration at around 3500. This happens at other RPM's as well. It happens when accelerating progressively. Its not very noticable when booting it. The whole car vibrates in a pulsating manner and then seams to clear up at around 4500rpm. it happens at different speeds. and sometimes anywhere from 2500rpm I think its gear box as its seams to be the point where the power is going into the box, or could that be torque convertor?? I am going to write an email to the garage i bought it from but would like to offer suggestions of what the fault is …

Hi all. Can anyone tell me the sizes of the stock turbo's used on the Z32 please ie turbine housing and compressor housing Thanks

Sorry for long title :p Anyway, for those of you out there who have an exact understanding of how it works, I have a question... On a coastdown with 0% throttle open, what is happening in the engine? Are the injectors applying fuel? Are the spark plugs operating? I need this information to try and cure a prob i'm having. Many thanks you brainy bunch :D Rob.
