Bit of a regular occurance it seems dude...:D (Pie soup) Chuffed to bits to see another looked after Zed driving the other way. Wanna hook up for a few beers? The hop leaf is a fav...I'm sure u drive past it!;) (Btw...Leave the toy @ home mate!:D) :hurl:

in the Makro car park at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol. Polished, very shiny standard alloys (fronts on the wrong side of the car).

i'm looking at a boost controller for the z at the mo do i need one with a double solenoid (apexi dsbc) or will a single solenoid controller do it? hopefully my car should be back in 4-6 weeks so it'll be the first new mod to fit

Its all going Pete Tonge !!!! Any one got any idea who in the country can do a decent rebuild on an Auto box??? and at what sort of cost ??? I would like someone located in the Midlands; as thats a bit better for getting the dam thing to them. Mine is on its way out and it has to be done... :cry: :cry: More cash !! will have to rob a bank again !! :nana2: Still i cant moan she has been fairly good up to now ! :cool: Marcus

Hi Matey Heres the pics of the temp sensor for the autobox you wanted. hope these are some help

Fitted these last year and they are currently still at the default settings. What I would like to know which way is to make the shock harder and softer? Front 1-4 set to 2 Rear 1-8 set to 4 Cheers Pete

Right, Im having ideas of upgrading to a TT Zed as I fancy somthing quicker. Just wondering what sort of MPG you get from a TT? Currently im gettin about 250 miles out of £45 on my NA.. Thats a Mixture of City and motorway driving on my way to work. I do 60 miles round trip 4 days a week to work and back, Just wondering if its going to be doable with a TT

I'm the proud owner of a 95 TT Auto, and will shortly be requiring new tyres... What sizes are best suited to the cars. It's got 17" wheels. Thanks Paul

Bout 11am this morning parked up along the row of shops just past the snooker club off the roundabout

Men & Motors Now. 300zx is around 60 something coming up very soon

does anyone know which rims ive got in the sig ? ive seen them on a couple of zeds as im trying to get the centre caps for them. looks a bit of an eyesore seeing the studs showing.

:headvswal Hope you guys can give me some pointers here... Bought a front from a company called NMI styling. Fitment around the front lights is fine. But it's the side ends on the front that's the problem.. :headvswal Sticks out around 5cm on on side and 3 on the other side. I'm afraid that the one screw that hold the end in isn't enough. IF I can manage to press the side in.... Someone suggested to apply heat on the front under pressure. :confused: Not an expert on fiberglass. But can't see how that would help?? I would really appriciated any hints on what I could do in order to bend the front enough to make it fit.... :bow: :bow:

Hi all Finally managed to do a boost leak check on the car and I seem to have a fairlybig one as above. Sounds like it's coming from around the battery area at the side of the engine. Think it's quite big cause by pump can't presurise the system at all. The air is just leaking straight out. Just wondering if there's a pipe round there that usually goes?? I can hear it but can't find it!!! :headvswal Any ideas would be appreciated!!

Insurance Database: There is a lot of talk all the time about insurance. But there are loads of random infos in lots of threads. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to start a list of our insurance quotes and companies, to help people when it gets to that time of year? Maybe we could get it stickied for reference? I'll start. Try to keep chatter out of it. 1) Olliezx, elephant.co.uk, £650 TPFT (22, 5yncb, Jap TT, countryside) 2) chutney, heritage.co.uk £485 FC (31 2 yrs ncb, jap TT auto...rural) 3) Naf68, UK TT auto, Hastings online, £280 TPFT full NCB, Watford 4) alex300, elephant, £550 TPFT (25, 4yrs ncb, jspec N/A, cambs, rural) 5) Skyl…

Happy Birthday Chap, you must be our oldest ZEDDER (No offence intended), Have a good day chap. ;)

Why is it whenever I wash and wax the zed it then either gets covered in bird poo, or peoples cats climb all over it or it gets covered in pollen in about 3 seconds flat. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Being a bit of a noob to this insurance lark with Zs, I was wondering if anyone could give me a point and a push in the right direction. I had a very VERY good quote from elephant for a Z (£1300 for a uk spec manual twin turbo) despite me only being 20. Tried to do a Jspec one and it just lauged at me and said I had to be 21 to insure it. What I'm asking is, is there anyone under 21 who has insured a Jspec 300zx twin turbo? Which insurer did you get the policy from?

Was at Santa Pod last Saturday with my tt Z. Was about to get ready to pull off the line when one of the safety Inspectors spotted a leak under the car :confused:. Halted the run :nono: ... Damn. Later... Had a quick look under the car and there seemed to be water coming from somewhere where water usually doesn't exist in a Z. There is a pipe that points downwards (seems as designed that way), close to where the waste gate is on the tt models passenger side. Compared it with a NA Z (next car to buy on my list :D ) but the pipe is the same on it also.. but it wasn't pi**ing out - well dripping out water. So.. pipe that points down to the ground, Passenger s…

Another victim of mindless vandalism :( Both my wing mirrors have just been kicked off outside my house. Does anyone have a pair for sale? Cheers :(

I have a slow oil leak. Having taken the downpipes off today I had a good view of the back of the engine and noticed it seems to be originating from my NS vvt solenoid. I had previosly thought it was my RC gaskets. Now I'm done for the day now, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and how hard this is to rectify? Thanks.

Hi all,i know this has prob been asked lots of times,but just wondering what engine oil is best for an N/A 2+2 and how much is a cambelt kit, fitted and wheres best to take it to be done? Thanks.

In Castle Donington. You must be the one that ppl keep mistaking for me.
