Saw one today, first one Ive seen on the road for months. Its was going the oposite way, about to go into an horrendous down pour, i just came out of. May of had an aftermarket front bumper, was very loud.

I've found a broken manual z not too far away . Only thing is it's n/a. If it does suit and i need other parts for the convertion would it make it messy, should i just hold out till I find a tt box? Any advice appreciated, thanks.

First is the clutch, possibly. Drove to cardiff from bristol with no silly stuff parked up outside my mates house for 20 mins and when i got bck the car the clutch was really heavy and it felt like it was slipping in 3rd but only in 3rd. got back to his house and left it for about an hour, when i got back in it was absolutly fine and no problems since.(?) on the same day and a few times since ive got out of the car armed the alarm and the left hand indicators have stayed on and have had to turn the alarm on and off a few times to get them off. Anyone?

As title! How many of the 300zx Owners on this Forum have spare engines for their 300zx in case they need them?

Flashed you in my black Mitsubishi Warrior. Bound to be someone on here.

The Picoo Z radio controlled helicopter for £20 haha! best distraction from work I've ever had. Almost as good as forums!! Got it from Maplin here: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=220841&TabID=1&source=1&doy=25m7 You've got to tune it a bit to make it fly right. You set the trim up until it doesn't spin on itself. Then go forwards by kind of waving it right and left a little bit. Its not easy and I've not really got it yet but its great fun crashing it horribly! doesn't seem to break either. All the body is polystyrene! It only lasts ten minutes then you have to plug it into the controller to charge it up again.

bit of a pointless thread really but an hour ago the clock on my car turned to 130,000 miles, on my uk spec tt dont want to tempt fate by saying any more, btw its running great

Taken my car to the garage this morning to replace the O2 sensors just got a call from them saying it is too low to get on any of their ramps apart from the MOT ramp which is always being used. I said to them that the O2 sensors point up out of the engine bay so would of thought it would be easiest (or maybe even the only) way to get at them would be from above rather than underneath. They said they need to get at them from underneath and they cant help me. Is this correct or are they flobbing me off??? I am guessing they tried to put it onto the ramp to try and see them in the exhaust and couldnt get it on the ramp and just gave up without looking from above.

Changed spark plugs today... Went for a drive and one cylinder is not fireing.. Checked with datascan and it seems cylinder 2 is the one.. Anyone happen to know where cylinder 2 is located?? (Car is a left hand drive if that has anything to say)

A mate told me about this yesterday as it's been dumped on his way to work so I went to check it out. It was black, manual, with HKS dual dragger cans by the looks of it. Looks like the *******s nicked it, crashed it, dumped it and burned it, the lot. :headvswal Hope it didn't belong to anyone here.

Hey all Got my car back today suspension, brakes, steering and various other bits all fixed. Drives so much better and goes like a train. But Its very smoky. Driving along its fine low revs fine give but it some welly and cloud of smoke out of the back whitish grey. Pull up at lights and for a few seconds its smoky enough to get a bit through the drivers window and then fine until you really hoof it again. If I have it on the drive and rev it it will get to the top of the revs and puff out some smoke looks whitish blue so Im guessing its oil. The worst seem to be on gear chnage so on and then off the gas and on hoofing it. The car has divorc…
