Hi have not been able to start car (have tried all sorts!!) bought car cheap - possible head gasket failure not starting no signs of gasket failure whatsoever! So have tried everything else to start, however just tried piston No 1 and No 2 both appear to register nothing ( could be tester hasent been used for 2 years) but if its true no comp on either side?? seems odd to me or does anyone know of a potential problem that affects both sides of the V before I start stripping down (after checking the other 4 plugs of course) Ta Jay

my zx will soon be coming out of the garage from its winter sleep, i started it the other day since before xmas... and she was a bit rattly at the top end, i'm hoping this is just from old oil, and not a blockage or anything major... but is this normal after lying up a while? also i'll be doing a bit of work to her now before MOT what do you guys reckon i need to do to rejuvinate. here is what i'm planning on doing before it comes out: oil change (is any sort of flush recommended) coolant change (again, any recommendations) 6 puck clutch to go in decat front pipes a bit of welding as the sills cracked due to a clampitt and a trolley jack. any help app…

Hi people, The kits from zcentre, are they original or copies??? Zee. :)

Like most of you guys I'm a car nut and can't get much joy from 'modern' cars so subscribe to the above mag. The writing's good and the depth of info is refreshing. But, and it's a big but - they naturally always favour European cars. I suppose it's their market. Last month the editorial was about the editor looking for a 2+2, so I dropped him an email saying that if he is looking for the world's best 2+2 he need look no further than the 300ZXZ. I appologise for promoting the NA, but then I'm an NA owner - anyway they printed (most of) the email and included a pic of a UK spec Z. It's one small step in favour of the Z - in a mag that's always too afraid of …

Hi Spotted you on the M25 clockwise at around 16:15 coming off at junction 11, Black i assume TT with bigish spoiler :dance: Rob

Hey guys, Where can i get injector connectors from, and possibly the injectors? Also I could do with a guide or walkthrough to help me take off the AAC valve system tubing and bottles.Any ideas? Also can u direct me to something i can ajust the camber angles on my wheels front and back, so i don't strip another set of tyres! Could also do with someone local to nip over with conzult to help me sort a few nigglies. If anyone can help there's tea and biccies in it for you! Thanx again Rich

Spotted about 30 mins ago 1615hrs (forum clock still being wrong etc). Was heading onto the M5 northbound at Cribbs Causeway.

Happy Birthday mate :duffer: My drawing is still looking good :D

Just thought i would say Hi ! , I am just in the process of selling my s14 rb26 project ( due to a bad back ,waiting to see a surgeon) :cry: I need to get my mits on a quick car again however i would like an auto as clutches give me loads of agro at the moment ( sciatica left leg ) I was pretty set on getting a supra , please dont stone me :) however looking at some of the Zs around i think they can be much better looking cars and i think they are a more timeless design . Plus they dont do a supra aero turbo and i imagine to convert one would cost ££££s , Nissan do the tt targa and i just love the idea of this :) . The Zs also proved to go faster…

while another silver Z was heading west just before 8am this morning. Hello!

I suppose our Z's have reached an all time low on price, it really is a buyers market at the mo & has been for sometime. ok if ur buying, crap if ur selling. But i think in the next few years our Z's will increase in value as they push the 20year mark cheers martin

Hi guys I am looking at using this or the XFS 5w50 which is best and why?
