Hi can anyone help me? On the drivers side window the guide pin broke off, so i have the pin sticking out of the guide rail and the stud still left in the glass. Can anyone tell me how to take the pin out/how to replace the pin to the window?? Thanks sarah

Was it you ??

Are you here???? Two black ones (possible a red one as well but drove past too quickly!) park up on a drive in Fishponds Bristol

Just got the car outside with all the spares and accessories I've collected of the last 2 years.......just waiting for it to be taken away. Then I'll pack my stuff and head off for China for a few years, will see if I can get on here from there. Mind you Japan is'nt that far away.....I might be tempted to look in and see what I can pickup from an auction :D

Does any1 have any idea what the thread size is for the temp sensor that supplies the coolant temp gauge? (or the ecu coolant temp sensor as im told they are the same size) the sensors are the 2 at the front middle of the engine tapped into the water pipe... munchos thankyos amigos.

i have had a prob with smoking with my z its intermitant and only on stand stills, i have noticed that if car stands on slopes then it smokes more but if stood on flat surface then doesnt smoke as much or completly doesnt!! the smoke is oily smell and is white!! im supposed to hook up with andy but have had a few probs so aint been able to see him yet, has anyone had this prob?

As above really, have just rebuilt mine but the 4 squared o rings on the back of the oil pump are damaged. unfortunately its not possible to buy just the 4 orings and being squared edges i cant make some. anyone have an old auto box laying about that they are happy to take them out for me?

i'd like to lower the car a bit but wondering how it will sit on the 18's. As it is if im driving hard and hit a swell in the road the tyres rub against the arches. Would this get worse with lowered springs? Also could someone recommend wher to buy some that suit the z, thanks

ive just got a after market oil pressure gauge.what is the best way to wire it up?Can i come off the standerd gauge wiring on the back of the clocks :confused:

I scratched two wheels :cry: :cry: :cry: I fancy the pants of this Italian girl i work with so offered to help her move flat in fulham this evening, you know how it is. Got to a mini round about with STUPID curbs, she couldn't read the map so at 1mph i glance at it and SCRAPE!! arghhhhhhh :hurl: She loves the car and appretiates the help alot, best be bloody worth it. Was bound to happen in London. Was being so carefull that i kind of made it happen.

As the title says. Smart looking silver zed driving along Capel Road, Clydach, yesterday afternoon. I was the guy staring in the white Gtr coming the other way. Ade.

I am running a standard z32 TT and want to increase the boost slightly I have been told that i need an electronic controller, is this true? Secondly, what controllers are recomended out of both electronic and manual... cheers guys

I saw a nice shiney Maroon 300zx parked up in Osmanthorpe lane Leeds on Sunday near the shops. Was it you?

27/8/07 Metallic Grey with 99 spec front bumper, rest of car looked stock apart from after market wheels, car was parked In Brandon road on the courner of Waldeck Road, and looked a clean example, also had Nismo sticker on rear quater light, I bet your not a member though lol. Maybe you have just got the car as there is usually a Supra parked there, and ive never seen it there before.

Bought my N/A from a chap for £800. 59K miles, immaculate inside and out, gunmetal gray with original wheels (unscuffed). Needs a new gearbox but this is being fitted in 3 weeks. Hoe much is it worth once repaired?

I was on my first proper outing in the Z this weekend. London to Aberystwyth and back in two days. Best not to think about the fuel... Anyway, i had a feeling i would see another at some point - most likely on the motorway, but no. This one was parked up in a tiny village called Ponterwyd. Black with blue headrests. Was it you?

Happy Birthday Bud, have a great day. :duffer:

Just wondered if anyone is going to trax next weekend? I'm not interested in all the wideboy chav stuff, but its a great way to drive the full grand prix circuit reasonably cheaply. I've got track time with FDUK but last year managed to get loads more real cheap from other clubs who had people drop out.

Just to clarify prior to booking in my car for a new gearbox! This is my problem. The car drives fine, kickdown works etc. The gear changes from 1-2 in “D” but when it gets to 3rd the revs go higher bu the speed does not increase. Any thoughts prior to me shelling out? Also, did the diags and no codes.

Went out driving with my brother last night only to park up after doing lots of hard left and hard right steering to get into a parking space to find my Z has dumped a fair bit of fluid on the floor! :( The power steering although still working for a mo is making a horible grindy noise and of course my Hicas Light is on telling me I have no fluid! Whats the best cause of action then guys, done a serach on here and most people suggest it probably a hydraulic pipe thats has split or come loose! I still the Zed as a daily drive so do I cut the power steering belt for the time being to stop the stress or is there something else I could do! Don't know what the worse…
