Hi There, I recently bought a 300zx for near enough nothing because the prevous owner had blown the head gasket, I booked it into the garage to get this sorted, but where i live its all residents permits and im waiting for a letter for proof of address to get mine, so i parked my car about half a mile away (free parking) and some ******* try to steal it, they broke in, riped the key part of the ignition, lock, steering lock and left a right mess, i know this is common on the car, the problem is that it had an immobilser where you have to click it forth and back a few times in a combination to start it, im worried that if i take it to someone to repair it , it will co…

went out the other day in a non turbo zed at swz and was suprised at the performance of the n/a zed there the only performance diff i could tell was at about 4000 rpm where the turbo flies and the n/a takes a little time to catch up its made me seriously think about gettin an n/a for my other half respect to all n/a drivers out there there they are seriously quick !!!!!!!

It sure would fix my clutch at the moment and that alone would be worth it. http://www.theaa.com/breakdowncover/brc_info.html

Have had the car just over six months now adn I thought one of the tubs was on the way out. Just didn't seem to pull as well as before. Had to go to the shops though and my boy came along as he don't get to go in it often what with it being 2 seats an all. Was pleased to see that it still has the same effect when I give a boot. He squeals like a baby. Guess the tubs are OK By the way he is 19 and wants a go. Darrell
