Hi guys. I just spend 10,000 pounds for a Harley Davidson. Its a second hand one and there are a lot of goodies. Its a beaty with all the meaning of the word. And its parked right next to my Z. What a feeling when you ride the Eagle. You feel that you own the world. What a beatiful couple. So whats next. :) :) I will take some pics and post them.

After suffering a couple of jerks coming out for a "test drive and tyre kick session" I am considering getting anyone who wants to test drive my car before buying it, to sign a "responsibility for damages agreement". This assumes that at best they will only be covered for third party cover under their own policy. Something like: I agree to compensate the owner of Nissan 300zxTT, registration number: A8JVN in full for any direct, or indirect, damages caused and accept full responsibility for all third party claims whilst I am driving or in control of the vehicle. Name ......................................... Address ...............................…

My clutch is on the way out, slips at about 4 1/2 thousand revs. Can anyone advise me on a replacment one. Will a stock one be suitable or do I need a better one (RPS etc). I'm running around 400 bhp. Plus, where on earth can I get one fitted in Kent ??? I refuse to take it to another Nissan dealer after the last visit. Regards

After her sixth child, Jane decided that she should have some Cosmetic surgery "down below" to restore herself to her former youthful glory because her bomb doors were dangling a bit too low and looked like a ripped out fireplace. Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckons that, with six children now being the limit, she'd tidy things with a nip here and a tuck there so it looked more like a piggy bank slot rather than a badly packed kebab. Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic to find three roses at the end of her bed. "Who are these from?" she asked the nurse, "They're very nice but I'm a bit confused as to why I've received the…

Ok, so what winds you up about other drivers? Is it undertaking, tailgating, driving with fog lamps on, hogging the middle lane, sitting in the outside lane when you want to overtake, people cutting you up.......... Me, I don't like discourteous drivers, if I let you out then I want a wave or flash of lights, just some sort of 'thanks', you can even cut me up and I don't mind, so long as you wave. What pi$$es you off? Mike

.....................something begining with Z. There seems to have been an unofficial Zed meeting in my area recently. In the past few weeks I have seen quite a few 300's 1) There is a Black 300zx in the Chadwell Heath area with what looks like HKS exhaust and the license plate "H 1 T A N". I have seen both a lady and man driving this. Does this belong to anyone on here ? 2) Also seen a Burgdandy 300zx with dark tinted windows a few weeks back, again in Chadwell Heath. Anyones ? 3) A Dark Grey Z with huge single exhaust on the eastern avenue by Moby Dick pub. You here ? 4) A white 300zx parked outside the cockney grub house pie and mash shop i…

I have an engine with its heads removed that has suffered temperature dammage but is repairable, plus a spare cylinder head l/h , from my 1990 fairlady Z2 tt . Any offers ????

Time of year where a little time before hand can save you a lot of agro. Check radiator for anti-freeze. Most coolants have anti-freeze in, so make sure you have plenty. Check washer for anti-freeze. Again most windscreen washers fluid have anti-freeze in, but check that yours have. If it freezes it could cause split hoses and split washer bottle. Tighten the fuel lines under the bonnet. The clips come lose anyway but the cold weather causes the pipes to shrik a little and the clips are not as tight as they could be. This causes a nasty petrol smell in the morning when you start up. Check your tyres for pressure and tread. Its slippy enough with ou…

Got a problem with my Z- Its an auto! It runs fine but i CANNOT shift the gear-stick into "P" and "1", doesn't matter how hard i try. I can still shift it into N, D and R as normal. There isn't any other problem with the gearbox except for this and the car runs perfect??? I am worried as i can't afford a rebuild:( I will be grateful for any kind of assistance "AMMAR"

why is the inside of my car constantly wet, the rear screen, side windows and front screen are always constantly covered in water, i take out for a spin get it all nicely cleared, then overnight its as damp as hell again. very annoying to say the least. is there anything i can do to help prevent this.

Hey folks, 2 little questions...... first, does the engine on your Zed seem happier after 3000 rpm when the variable valve timing kicks in? damn sure mine does AND when (auto stuff) you put the overdrive in, does the engine automatically switch VVT modes? Thanks for any help

Being a newbie, can anyone take the time to explain how the power/hold function works on my car - I have had freinds trying to help with with this and the advise i have had is confusing to say the least. Thanks PS If the webmaster is reading, please advise how I can make a contributary payment to the club, as I find the information I have recieved to be invaluable. Thanks Winnie.

I have recently aquired a 300zx and am wondering how much I will expect to pay to have the cambelt replaced ? Thanks in advance. Winnie.

Don't worry I did a topic search first. I have a 91 JSPEC. As you already know it uses H3C bulbs. My question, will any other bulb fit without having to attach more wires to an H3? Iam having a hell of a time finding H3C bulbs in Germany and my driverside (passenger side for me) is out. The German Polizei love handing out tickets for this......Mike

Can anyone tell me what the red lever in front of the auto gear selecter is for on my jap import 2 door 300zx ? Thanks Winnie

Something funny happening today When engine cold on startup but foot on accelerator and the revs drop to nearly 0 before coming back and increasing. Nearly caused me to crash this morning on roundabout. Saw gap on roundabout. But the boot down to go. The revs dropped instead of increasing car nearly cut out , and took approx 2 secs to recover. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted the above about a month, ago. I have changed air filter, fuel filter and cleaned throttle bodies. Still no luck. Someone mentioned it could be an airleak. How do I find this?? On a main junction yesterday I went to turn left. Revs d…

Andy cant post in wanted and for sale...Just to let you know that I no longer need the hub. Nissan managed to press out the bearing without destroying the hub internals. I still need the clock though. Let me know how much the postage was for it. We agreed the price of clock to be £30 whole English quids Chris:)

If any of you see me about in the Hants/Wilts areas'....I have just had a set of stickers made to advertise this website. Large onw in rear window....and two in the side windows. Give us a wave or a knowing nod ( cos you know how much fun im having when out in my Zed) in passing. See you all out there. Chris:cool:

Hi all, This is my first time writing in. I'm currently looking to buy a 300zx TT and was looking for a few bits of advice. 1. There are shedloads of imports but not many uk models,apart from insurance (which looking at some of the msgs here isnt as bad as i first thought!!)are there any other costs/problems that would be more than the std uk model? 2. I dunno if its a London thing but prices seem to vary a hell of a lot! G-reg 89/90 tt's from £3500 to £7000!! Is it best to go for as late a model as poss or a VGC older one?? I'm likely to think of some more at some point but any help would be appreciated! Cheers! Quilly!

Is it possible to do a diagnostic check on the steering of a non turbo 300zx. If it is possible does anybody know how I would go about this? and what the response codes mean. Cheers Mick

Does anyone know if tail pipes from a TT will fit a non turbo import?????????? Alex

anyone know where the power window fuses are ? Cheers,

Ok i've found and am about to buy a lovely import Fairlady,it's in very good condition both bodywork,engine and interior. It has 44k on the clock and is a non turbo manual. It doesn't have cruise control but has all the other extras,electric seats,windows mirrors etc.Very nice cloth interior. The only thing i don't like is the exhaust.It has one of those huge single pipes both sides but i'd much prefer the standard ones.Does anyone want to swap or do they have them for their standard pipes or do they have them for sale? The other thing is i have a very nice TV in the car but unfortunately it only works in Japan (NTSC) does anyone have a spare tuner or …

Nothing to do with 'Z's this one but I 'm after an A bar(bullbar type thingy) for a Misubishi Shogun. Has anyone got any contacts with the 4x4 fraternity or know of anywhere that I can get one for a reasonable price? Cheers, F.T.
