Fluffy Bunny! Splat! I tried to swerve honest.

Just HAD to add a few words on the whole Zedworld subject I am perhaps the single most cynical SOB you have ever had the utter displeasure to encounter. My standards are massively high and I am hugely difficult to please. However, in the opinion of both me and the wife (she would shoot me if I didn`t mention her) Zedworld gives nothing but the best on all occaisions. If they can`t deliver, they will tell you so. Jeff may be an amateur by some accounts but let me tangentialise for a moment....... Four years ago, a mother and her son decided to change the face of care in the home within their local area. They had feeling but little business knowledge to…

I put in a call the the dealer i bought my impreza from and was rather surprised when he offered me a trade in thats almost what i paid for the impreza and told me he'd source a decent 300ZX TT for me. I can't wait to get back into a decent car again. The last 3 months of Scoob ownership had almost put me off performance cars. The Impreza, regardless of it's performance, is a seriously over rated car. Long live Nissan :D Woohoo!!! oh.. before i forget ... I stumbled onto the gallery of owners cars the other night but i can't find the link to it. Can someone remind me where it is? I've got some pre-ownership drooling to do :p

Do you happen to have the web address for psycho racing for our mutal friend ? Thanks

I have a problem with the boost gauge on my imported tt auto Car is still limited and some joker stuck a 120mph sticker over the original 180kph dial. Looks as if they did something to the boost gauge at the same time. When the ignition is primed and showing the warning lights, the gauge jumps to exactly halfway between 0 and +7. When the engine is runninf the gauge reads just over the marker halfway between -7 and 0. When I`m driving the car, just maintaining the speed at a constant 65-70 using cruise puts the gauge at 0. I think this must be wrong but have no frame of reference. How hard to you accelerate before your gauge reads 0? I`ve used kisckdown once or …

This Sunday I'm about to do my first lot of stuff to my new Z. Had it about 2 months now, has done 60700 miles, and am going to do some stuff myself to stave off some cost of the next MAJOR SERVICE. So I'm planning to change the oil, using Castol RS 10-60, new filter, new sparkies, at 13.50 each (bloody hell WTF) and change the manual gearbox oil. Any of u here have any tips to make it all go smoothly? I intend to replace the pluggy wotsits when I change the oil (sorry I just had my work crimbo dinner and am vocaburarly challenged) and the pluggy wotsits when I do the g/b. Any tool sizes would be good to know. And another thing, since owning my zed I've never seen an…

RX7 or 300zx. Recently come into some money. I can either spend 3K on my stock TT or sell it and buy a 36K M plate RX7 What would you guys do?

Hmm... Firstly (and most stupidly), where on earth is the washer fluid reservoir? My untrained eyes can only see two reservoirs under the bonnet - one is the brakes, the other one's opaque, so I don't want to assume it's washer fluid. I tried following the pipes from the squirty things, but it got complicated & I was cold, so I gave up (do I sound pathetic yet?). I checked the online manual but it doesn't seem to deal with such mundane matters. And secondly, this morning the Z stalled twice on the 15min drive into work - both times when fully warmed up, A/C off, approaching a junction, clutch in... and both times it started first time, no problem. It's neve…

Seeing as nearly everybody has changed there cat back exhaust on this site there must be lots of standard 2+2 TT Auto exhausts in good condition that people would like to get shot off , well don't laugh but i am in the market for one so if anybody wants to sell one please let me know

Bloody hell............. I just can't decide which one to go for? 99 spec? Greddy/Scarab? Dear oh dear, thought I had made up my mind on 99 spec but now not sure as this doesn't hang lower than standard. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :rolleyes:

looking around for a cheap quote ideally classic as my TT is over 10ys old can anyone suggest any good insurance companies, cheapest i have found is Livingstone Walman at £995 fully comp, my companies won't touch an import :(

Quiet isnt it!:rolleyes:

Hi guys, I'm new in this forum. There's this 1990 red Nissan 300ZX non turbo, 87,000 miles, auto tranny that I want to buy. The car is great. Engine is still great, body and chassis too but one thing. The automatic tranny seems kinda weird. I have never own a 300ZX before with an auto tranny. The tranny feels weird, it seems like the tranny is a bit sluggish and keep on shifting to the right gear. Do you think that's normal? I heard that early 90's Nissan, all their auto tranny are like that when they get old. Any advice and suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks a lot guys.

Set off home tonite from work at 6pm as usual , coming thru a village in churchdown and a pissed up twat drives passed 4 of us in a 40 zone around id say 60mph , swerves back in to get in the correct lane and doesnt see at 1st a young lady turning into her driveway ( yes this was a built up area with kids playing ) , he brakes hard and swerves around her and escapes narrowly , only to leave 4 cars behind to pile up :( , and i was one of them in my 200sx :( , the front end of the car is a total right off , i went straight into a ford focus , but funnily enough and i dont know how but i never felt a thing , jumped out of me car to see just the front end of my car all o…

Hello all, I've been following the arguament regarding the wheel incident and repair costs and thought I would add my humble thoughts on the repair costs. From the work done on the car in question by Jeff at Zedworld, I would suggest that £3000 seems very very reasonable for what was done, if it has been done to a high standard. I say this from personal experience of whats involved regarding auto bodywork, I have personally rebuilt to concours winning standard from near scrap in the past, and the vehicle in question still looks the same as the day the restoration was finished in December 1989. To rebuild a damaged vehicle to be safe and look OK in the short t…

I have just bought a 1994 300 zx and I wondered if someone in the world of experienced zx'rs could help me with a few problems. 1. dip lights are worse than a torch 2. the odd time the engine won't fire. 500 yds tow is the only way to start the engine. battery is new and engine cranking ok. 3. where can I find ultra cool rims

I'm on the lookout for a 300zx (Z32?) MAF sensor to use in another application (not a 200sx!). I've been trying a few breakers, but none are that clued up. The general response is "it's on a car outside, phone back in 10 minutes", which is repeated when I phone back! Curious to know how much I should be paying, and if anyone has one for sale, that would be even better. Cheers Paul

Anyone out there Know of these cars if so i know of a black 91 model with a little reassembly work going cheap.

Hi all, I am a new member to this forum and would just like to say how good it is. Lot's of my worries since I purchased my ZX300TT have been resolved thanks to some previous topics. Anyway that's the creeping done, I have just been quoted £400 to supply and fit a rear wheel bearing to my ZX as the noise is becoming a bit too loud now. Does this sound realistic or do you think the price is a bit on the high side?? Thanks Glenn 1990 ZX300 TwinTurbo import.

Does anyone know how to disconnect the ABS? The reason I ask is I've been having brake judder problems nearly ever since I've had the car, only at quite high speeds (about 70) and thought it was probably the front discs, so I changed them for Skyline's, if anything it's made it worse, so then I changed the tension rod bushes and at first thought that had cured the problem but it hasn’t. Just took my mechanic out and he suggested it might be the ABS, but wasn't sure how to disconnect it to eliminate that.

How many miles does everyone get? Mines look toasted after about 10k. Fronts might make 15k. 265 on the back and 235 front X 18s

Anyone know where I can part numbers for: Windscreen water bottle/reservoir Oil Pressor sensor Both for a Jap 1990 TT 2+0 Cheers. Alex.

Does anyone know any good bodyshops/sprayers down south? Cheers, F.T.

I've got a film over the rear windows of my Z to make them tinted. Is this stuff easy to get off?I haven't tried it yet,just in case I make it worse!If it's a bugger then I'll leave it alone,but if it's pretty straightforward then I might give it a go. Cheers, F.T.
