Guys I have nice shiny polished stainless exhausts but - if I clean them, after only a couple of days they are covered in black again. Is this evidence of a fuel mixture problem or just normal ? Mark

Saw wicked Black ZX parked in Cheltenham for last 3 days parked down by corner of Everyman Theatre and again around the corner closer to the Town hall. Was it you ???? Very Nice rims around 10 spokes and immaculate paintwork. If you see this please reply , we are tryin to round up a local Z Posse. (If you wanna sell ya motor I have a mate curenntly lookin to buy a Black Z.

Just wondering... how many miles you get from a full tank, and how much it costs you to fill it up... Just wondering if its gonna be worse than my previous 200 miles to a £45 fill up :)

Do i have a boost leak? I get whistling sounds as soon as the boost starts to build and it pulls a bit then loses power then pulls then loses power then pulls and keeps pulling! :confused: also i noticed blue smoke as i was backing into works carpark, is this just oil burning off dew to the rebuild (only started running the car last night (done 150km so far) ) or is it the dreded rear seals going? :confused: :cry:

For those of you that are looking to go for one of these! ...But don't want these! ...You could do this! All you need is 2 bulb holders from the standard side repeaters, 2 orange bulbs, Drill, some choice drill bits and a steady hand. Just though I'd share that with you.

Will it free up much power? Considernig the exchange rate at the moment, it is rude not to buy some more stuff ;) I was thinking about a lightened Flywheel, maybe the segmented one. Do you think it is worth the money? Is it a good investment? Stuart

Hi, I have got an oil cooler which I believe is the same as the one luke at the zedcentre sells! The only problem is the fittings to connect it to the oil hoses are too big any idea where I might get some smaller fittings from?

who is it, let me know zedman

Hey dudes anyone apart from me got a red zed round oxfordshire, if you have let me know. cheers zedman

Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that supplies Advan wheels? Only found them in the states so far. :mad:

Ello u lot, just been out for a spin, and i'm confused... maybe the car's not really fullypushin out her potential, when should the power of the tubbies kick in, be at full swing and then tail off, as they are seeming to tail off really early with my baby, and 100 seemed a bit of a struggle!! no black smoke or anything so she's not indicating turbo trouble!

Off the lights the other day, giving it a bit of wellie, all of a sudden a huge wheelspin, backfire, clutch slip and smell of burning rubber and plastic. Didn't feel very good after that - Thought the car was on fire so I pulled over and gingerly lifted up the bonnet. There was a hissing noise from near the fuel filter, so I got the torch and had a look. Turns out the fuel vacuum line running from the engine to the small black box behind the filter (don't know what it is) had ruptured in two places! Any ideas? I have no idea what happened there! :confused:

Hi, Just a quick question ref the gearbox oil cooler. I have a jap import and have read and seen (in Zcentre web site ) that its recommended that the cooler is changed for a bigger one. How high on 'the things to do' list should i put this on. How many people have done this?? Is it prevention is better than cure!! thanks. Look forward to your views Jonce

Does anyone know a web site that can help or any surgestions. thanks jonce

I have a problem with the speedo in my zx. Whilst driving the needle flicks over the 180 mark ( when i'm not doing 180 of course ) and messes with the progresive steering. N e idea's on what could be causing it to do this? And how to fix it? Cheers ;) Johnboy

hi, ive been through the search cant find nothing , i need to take my veilside front bumper off is it the same fittings as a standard one ????if so how do i take it off ,i ve tried getting on 300zx-mods.co.uk but it will not load????? :(

Over the last few weeks, seen 2 Z's, one silver, looked fairly modded, and had a plate like "C 2000" or something like that... and another, in blue, looked fairly standard buy had dished multi-spokes on... anyone here? Also, anyone from down my way? havnt seen anyone on the board claiming to be from round here :S am i all alone :(

I saw two Z's last night but I can't say was it you because they probably aren't members and can't see this section. What's the benefits to having this as a members only section ?

Had a little race in me vectra but you overtook me (not suprising) looked blue/black was either a c reg private plate or a g reg and went off at the ormskirk junction.....woz it u??? Kirbz

I overtook you heading east on the A45 out of Coventry about 5:40 this evening :) Anyone here? :cool: Pete

At the weekend I ended up with the Z leaking coolant everywhere, resulting in loads of steam etc. Turns out that one of the two pipes running from the rear of the engine to the bulkhead was leaking. I'm fitting the new pipes tonight, but there could be a problem. The damaged pipe had only a small hole in it (and it was on the other side of the jubilee clip) - but the amount of coolant leaking was huge (It went through a whole radiator full in less than 15 minutes as I plodded home). So, I was wondering if: a) This has happened to anyone else b) The heater pipes which come out of the bulkhead could be damaged themselves. Any ideas greatly appreciated Ch

Black H reg "H** CMS"? Twoz me behind in the silver Z flashing. Anyone on here?
