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

Can we have a best zed competition for xmas voted for by the members? We could have different categories, best body, best tech, best overall etc. I know we do mini versions of this at some of the National meets, but I don't remember doing a big version of this voted for by everyone. What do you guys think?

Does anyone know of a specialist near to Guildford in Surrey that can do a full 60K service? Cheers

Hi , I have two questions for you guys, first one is a braking one: When I brake hard I'm getting a squeeling noise, now this isn't a squeel coming from the pads, it's coming from inside the car, like from the brake pedal itself, also I'm getting real spoungey feel to the pedal too. The second is I'm getting a knocking / rattling noise coming from the front drivers wheel area, it knocks and rattles when going over ripples in the road, or over small manholes and strangely when coming down a speed ramp but not up a speed ramp which is odd, this happens whether turning or going straight, I changed the anti roll bar endlinks thinking it might be them, but no. …

37!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

Has anyone tried the front or back strut braces that crop up on Ebay? I know the front can be (very)awkward, but the back one must be fairly straightforward surely? They're on Ebay for £20! Cheers, Tony

What tyres are best to get for a Z, Ive bought a 93 reg N/A manual import. Pick it up in a bit over a week. Just i heard jap tyres are crap, wondered whats best and how much i can expect to pay ?

Gonna get my zeds ecu mapped just have a few questions which is the best chip to buy? what fuel do i have to run the car on do i need a diff exhaust to gain real benefits? any advice would be welcome thanx all

Does anyone know where there is a rolling road in the Tyne & Wear (Gateshead) area that will test a 300zx? I have contacted a couple and I am informed that most Z's are too low for their's and as mine has been dropped (about 3" at front). Should I give up on the fact of using one? Obviously I would love to test the power of my newly aquired Z (89 TT auto) so I can watch it's progression over the forthcoming months as it upgraded but also because someone has knacked my speedo and it's needs calibrating (I am no good with electrics).

i'm having trouble tracking down an answer to this: Smithy's 6mm silicon vac hose will hold up to temps for a water bypass? Or should I get some 3-ply? Thanks ;)

I'm thinking of treating myself this christmas to a remote starter, as it's getting cold now, plus i'm getting lazy. I looked on ebay an saw one there which looked pretty good. But there was a not that said it was not for an automatic. I've asked the seller if this was a feature that was not for an automatic or if it was the whole set up that would not work for my car. He did reply an say that he was not 100% sure but would gladly find out for me. Does anyone know if there would be a reason that a remote car starter would not work on an automatic? :confused:

Does anyone know what the DEPTH size is for front speakers :confused:
