Have a good day fella's. :duffer: :duffer:

this will sound so daft ..... but after driving my zed for a while i get a smell coming into the car through the air vents and it smells like " celery " ive checked all over inside the engine bay and can find nothing ive even had all the air pipes out under the dash ive taken it to a couple of garages last week and the description of the smell ranges from fruit to the illegal green smokey stuff.............im totally baffled by this ( this is no joke ) anyone else got a similar problem and before anyone says its not B.S cheers in advance matty

We are in the process of setting up a newsletter for the membership, and I was wondering if anyone was having any special deals we could put in there? Also, if anyone has any interesting information, articles they may think might be of interest, it would be usefull. Thanks for taking the time to read this guys. Neil

Was up santa pod this weekend and noticed an out of control muppet behind the wheel of a black 300 tt drifting around the wet and muddy campsite. Was this muppet you?

waved and flashed but no response

Well TBH I expected she would. I haven't started the car since November last year, I had to jump start her yes but turned the key and she fired up. Plus no apparent leaks from radiator. On the down side my heater and windscreen wipers are temporarily out but that's more than likely down to Gaz and Neil when they removed the carputer! Only joking guys, but possibily just a loose wire under the dash. I will have a look another day. Next get her MOT'd and somebody may buy her!

Hi Guys, Just a quick welcome from a fan of your work. Nice to see you guys on our forum, im sure I speak for everyone here, hope you wont mind sharing a bit of your advice with us guys on the other side of the pond.

Who's Going ?? Chaeck out the latest from the Lemanbulance im the only 300zx in our group :( be nice to have a meet up at the roundabout for a bit of sideways action. :hyper:

Got this annoying squeeking coming from the front drivers side, its not evident over large bumps in the road, just when i'm driving along normally, would a tension rod bush cause this ???? Its really getting on my tits. the front wheels have been of so much recently I cant bear to take it off again.

Hi people O/S sill stone guard cracking, needs taken back to the metal & repaired Anyone recommend someone who would do the work and rough estimate of how much it would cost? thanks

I believe the are Enkei Racing but I have looked on their site and cannot see them on there. Probably stopped producing them I expect. One of the center caps has come out the middle of the alloy so I just need to get hold of a new one. Anyone got any ideas of where I might be able to get this from?? Cheers

?? Thanks

you got those wheels on....just noticed :D

Black Z coming along Mutley plain Turn left into Ermington Terrace At 12.50pm 5 june 07

Hey Guys Recently I bought a 300zx two days ago. Its done just over 80k so I think I should book in a major service with cambelt change. Could someone give me a rough quote on how much i should be paying for a major service and cambelt change, and if its cheaper to goto a Nissan Garage or find somewhere else? Is there any specialists who deal in 300zx in the south of england as I think specialist tools are needed for a cambelt change that not every garage has. Sorry for so many questions im new to this car. Jimmy G

hi anyone here tried red dot discs? what are they like? thanks darren

Well after the oil problem i spoke to Topless (thanks mate!!) and the Z has gone back to the garage i bought it from. The oil could be coming from any number of places and its under warrenty so it's not even worth me investigating. And just for a kick in the b#lls as i started it up to position it behind the truck it dumped about a pint of coolant onto the floor :( :( I'm not excepting it back until its A1, i've only done 800 miles since i bought it :rant:

Has anyone experienced their larger brakes fading? I had a not so nice experience as I was racing a motor bike the other day, came to a roundabout and the brakes decided to fade. They have never done this before, always thought they had been pretty cr#p but this convinced me. Luckily there were no cars coming & I got round no problem but had to stop all the larking around. I have got the 320 or 330mm large discs with the spacer on the calipers coupled with carbon pads. Do you think I need to upgrade the calipers now?

Have a good day matey. :duffer: :duffer:
