Saw a Red Zed on it's way to Car Land opposite Staples and Blaockbuster coming off the Keyway Island near Willenhall/Darlaston. Targas off in the Sun of Course! Was it you?

Right! Insurance companies. Why is it that I have spent the last 4 hours on the phone to these *******s discussing the car and the fact its imported and the fact its got mods and the fact that I am 28 and where I live and what colour underwear I'm wearing. I then ring around another few companies before ringing them back to accept - only to find that when they do the "official" quote it is a grand (yes thats £1000) more expensive. This has been done by Bell Direct (went up 500 quid), Firebond and Adrian Flux (went from 1400 to over 2300). ****ing outrageous!! All this after our esteemed club insurer Houghton wrote to me last week to say they won't be able to…

One thing I'm considering is having the Z delocked and the handles removed and getting it to pop open on reote fob. Anyone any ideas on who will do it and what it might cost?

How do you post pictures in the journal section in posts? Go on tell me I'm being a complete tw*t and that it is blindingly easy but I honestly have no idea!

Hi, I always see a black zed parked down middle road in shoreham, by the back of Kings manor. I am sure that it has a 300zx.co.uk sticker in the window

Hi everyone. I am about to venture into changing my steering wheel. I have taken the old one off and noticed that where the wires are for the horn and C/Control are there is a disc with loads of slots with one larger slot. I have no idea what this disc is for I can see it runs through a module or something that the wires are attatched to. Can anyone tell me what this is please and is it ok to totally disconnect it? Thanks for your help. :bow: Vince

Hi all, MOT has revealed excessive end float in the ball joint part of the lower link, me thinks it cannot be adjusted, so what is the best way to go? remove and lock out the hicas or buy new lower links?? Who is best to buy links from or even the the lock out bar?? :headvswal

Hi all :) Little problem... I drove my Zx yesterday (hot weather) on the highway (not at fullthrottle!), and afterwards, as usual i slowed down around 10km before I came to a stop, to let the turbos cool down. Well, I went to some shopping (5-10minutes away) came back and turned the engine on again. The temp-needel went very fast up to very Hot, to come down again a bit while driving again... Is this normal due to no heat evacuation while standing? or what? I'd like to check cooling water, but, no clue how to check the level of it.... thnx for advices :) cheers, bs

Right Always had Semi in my engine. (TT done approx 110,000 miles). Last oil change I put 10/50 Morris fully synthetic in. Oil change due again, struggling to get oils Been offered. Magnatec 5/30 fully synthetic. Magnatec 10/40 Semi Synthetic. Castrol RS10/60 fully synthetic (at a lot more cost). What would you gor for? Cheers

hi can anyone tell me were i can get a set of door mirror base plates (m3 mirrors) got mirrors given but no base plates for my 90 TT :confused:

...............with these fitted instead of mesh - CLICK click Anyone? And what do you reckon about stones flying in there? Or do you reckon these are intended for people with N/A's but want a 99 front?

The garage fitting my new N/A engine told me the other day that it was all fitted, and they were about to start testing it out on a few short road journey's. They phoned me after each one to tell me the probs (eg air leaks, etc) they had, and that they then fixed - the usual stuff really. Anyway, last week they finished it all and took it down to the local carriage way for a blast, and it was perfect - no probs at all (slight leaky injector - which they then resealed). The next day it developed like a fuel starvation problem. I borrowed the car back at the weekend to put some miles on it and take it to a show, and basically if you take it over 4500 rpm its starts to miss …

I know it's not the front shocks but this is the most annoying sound, and I had it on my previous Zed which went away after a few weeks, but it's just cropped up again on this one, especially in dry weather. I was told before the name of the offending joint but can't remember. Only way to describe it is when you're driving, sounds like an old pram is in you're glove box. On the outside it sounds like you're driving an old pram :o

can some one tell me where this is.. i cant see any reference to a wiper relay in the fuse box at the front passenger side of my jap zx. i need to find it to test it.. anyone??

Can anyone help please? I've got the rad out and the adjustment mechanism off the front of the pump. I've also removed the pully and the bolt behind it but the pump won't budge! Is it held in with magic? It doesn't even move!! Thanks guys. NB is there a source of info on PAS system on the Z? I've searched threads back as far as 2003 and everytime someone asks about PAS system everything seems to go quiet!

The fan is always on on my car guys, I take it that this isn't normal? Is there just a switch somewhere that's probably gone? Cheers.

Anyone know how this is done? Seemed not very straightforward and i cant find any posts? I saw the motor screws is it that simple?
