Hi everyone. Had my ZTT for some time now and went to start it this morning you guessed it - nothing. My other half was trying to lock and set the alarn yesterday and pressed wrong buttons on the remote so my first question is could the alarm have confused the ECU. I did hear a clicking sound coming from the ECU when I first tried to start it this morning. Have just tried another battery that is fine on volts as the old one was low on volts and the indicators flashed on - I disengaged the alarm and engaged it and it seemed to work fine.

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting insurance below £1200. I'm 44 with 2 years NCB. I have had 2 bike accidents in the last 5 years. First one was in 2002 and settled 100% not at fault, the second was in 2003 and still pending, I believe not to be at fault with this accident ether. After searching this site for more info on how you guys manage to get cheap insurance, I phone Heritage. I requested a quote on a Jap Import NA 91, all was fine until I told them the car will be kept on the street over night which meant they could not give me a quote? Does this mean you guy have garages or off street parking? Has anyone got any ideas on how to get round this wi…

Satdy afternoon, grey zed in Crabbs Cross light's ablaze, thumb's at the window LOL, was just explaining to my, "IT'S JUST A CAR" girlfriend that Zed's are few an far between and saw a black Zed 5 min's later at the top of Bromsgrove road, hahaha, ok so not today are they few an far between. Good looking pair of stock shape motor's though not unlike my own. Call me a pure'ist if you like, but why screw up a beautifull car with wings an "barry bolt on's" like an XR3 or summat.

How long does it take for 3 points to clear, some say 3 some say 4 some say 6 yrs? Will the original counterpart be sent to my address or do I have to apply for it? I lost the info leaflet :rolleyes: TY

Hi. I currently own a z32 twin turbo fairlady. I'm pondering about replacing the auto box with a manual, obviously having to fit a flywheel, clutch, master and slave cylinder, pedal box and gear stick + trims. I am a motor technician by trade and unafraid of manual labour! Cost is a slight issue but i really hate P R N D 2 1 !!!! Im certain this has been done before, does anyone have an idea on cost for the project and any other parts that i would require? Any suggestoins are greatly appreciated/ Thanks

Hi guys and girls am looking at selling my skyline soon and am really considering a 300zx! Am just trying to find out some info on them. Already done a search and found the excellent buying guide but could someone tell me what the difference is between a SWB and a normall 300 is? And am i right in thinking that jap imports are called Fairlady z and uk cars are just called 300zx? Does anyone know of any other buying guides or mag features where i could find out more? cheers and excellent forum by the way!

My driver's side window is poorly and having stuck a multimeter on the window amplifier output I reckon it's feeling poorly. :( Anyone got a wiring diagram of the amplifier internals? :confused: I might make my own replacement, but I'm not quite sure how to get the one-touch operation... (Will trawl the rest of this and other forums later today) Mark

Question - is there any difference between a SWB blind and a 2+2 blind? I was wondering if it was slightly shorter.

I went to see the new Dukes of Hazard movie last night. Quite fittingly at a drive in cinema.( Never been to one of those before. Just tune in your radio station to get the sound.) Certainly follows the original show with the same characters but in a modern day America. Loads of sideways action from the old Charger, great fun!!! :D As for Daisy (Jessica Simpson) well worth it! :hyper: Aint going to win no Oscars though!! Andy
