Looks like i may have bought another zed in japan :slap: nice spec as well and its a manual swb slicktop :cool: so i will be getting to all running well and no doubt keep it a month or two but if anyone is interested it will be up for sale after then ;) Mike

Would appreciate opinions from techies :) Price is good and does have VGA inputs: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=99080&TabID=1&source=1&doy=1m12#spec Good? Or better off spending extra on something else? Also, can anyone recommend a good 15", wall mountable monitor? The flatter the better!

Hi guys, does anyone know of a z garage/mechanic/workshop in the surrey(or surrounding) area? I need my clutch/gearbox looking at(only selects 1st,3rd and 5th), and the speed sensor changing. Have been trying Ztech for the last week, but they never pick up the phone!:rant: I dont mind travelling a fair way, but as i've got no reverse, I'm loath to go to far :nana2: Any ideas anyone? Cheers Tony

Hi everyone, if anyones intrested theres a guy on http://www.driftworks.co.uk selling off a load of performance parts for a Z32 twin turbo, there for sale in the private sellers, parts for sale area on the forum would post a proper link but dont know how to! LOL Hes selling a couple of greedy turbos plus manifolds, custom exhaust for a SWB and a rebuilt twin turbo engine with forged pistons to name just a few things. Hope this provides some intrest for someone, if I had the money I would have had the engine, oh well enjoy.

Found this on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/V8-MUSCLE-free-road-tax-long-m-o-t-cant-say-SWAP-P-X_W0QQitemZ130051929359QQihZ003QQcategoryZ18301QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (Item 130051929359 if that link doesn't work) Says he'll consider a 300zx for part-ex. Would be a major project by the looks of things though! Lurrrve the sound of a V8! Si.

Happy Birthday Davey lad!! :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: Hope you're out of hospital and able to enjoy a pint or two.

Help! SWB on Eibach Springs and standard shocks with 18's BUT back seems high. Can anyone suggest a way to drop it cheaply? Maybe an inch or 2? May have to look at chopping them!!!! Oh no!! Yours in anticipation, angle grinder in hand, Andy Ps sorry about my pictures being so big in "rides" section, haven't figured out how to shrink em yet.

What do you think? 290 Euros is only £195 squids... http://www.sungraphic.se/images/134-copy.jpg Andy GP ;)

Have bought a new genuine HKS mushroom element .I ordered a new one and its got 3 layers, foam rubber and foam it says dry on the pack im sure my old one isnt like this . i wonder if they have changed the design to keep water out of the air flow meter.

Anyone have the part number for the expansion tank near rad and pipework to Rad Plus pipe to water fill area (are they all one unit?) Broke mine in recent tip Time to repair Thanks Roy

Anyone know of somebody good in the Grimsby/Lincolnshire/Humberside area that can do me a complete respray. After some w****r bumped the front end last week, I've decided to get the whole car done. Any ideas anybody?. Harty.

hey i saw a white zed with blacked out rear light panel going down edgeware road now, anyone fro here? darren

Hello all, I get this relay sound and the interior light flickers on and off when I do over a certain speed I think its the boot lid switch? just had a look for it and I cant see it anywhere? can anyone help? cheers!! ;)

Do the windows steam up at this time of year on all zeds (ooh ahh madam)!!! No seriously tho, is it coz of the weather, or is there a problem with my car? Quite often the windows mist over and I have to put air con on, that clears it quickly. Then when I turn air con off they steam up again pretty quick, is this normal, or do you think it could be that something (coolant) is leaking somewhere? This doesn't seem to always happen, but quite often. Also, I seem to think that I can smell coolant or something, but no one else seems to be able to, so don't know if it's just my imagination!!

Simple question - best to fit 3 point & make new rear mountings or 4 point and use existing lap-belt mounts? I was going to go with a 3 point, but a 4 point will be easier if the existing mounts are suitable (suitable as in is the angle of the innermost any good for harness). Oh, and i'm not putting the rear seats back in! Cheers Rich
