I have just replaced my front discs cos they were shot away....and they were causing a "pulsing" through the pedal. I have allowed time for the discs and pads to unite....but occasionally they still "judder". Would this be the front torsion bar type thingies?....as in the bushes need replacing? Anyone any ideas? Chris:confused:

There's a car on there I'm thinking of importing - 1990, manual, silver (gay colour but never mind.. :D), no registered mileage so it could have been to the moon and back but, it's a manual, and I'd have spares from t'other car.. The car is Y220,000, which is about £1200, and shipping looks like about another £800, but has anyone used this company before? (http://www.tau-net.co.jp) Presumably it turns up at the docks, I take it off, get it trailered somewhere, MOT, send everything to the DVLA with some cash and then insure it..?

It's all go for me, I've noticed over the last few days, again in the morning my car is juddering in 1st and 2nd is it cos its cold? might it be the fuel (again) ...Yawnzzzzzz any ideas, help appreciated:)

Alright guys, we all know about the 99 spec front bumper but are there 99 spec side skirts aswell? Just seen a pic of a pretty new Z and it looked like there were different but standard skirts? Cheers. James.

Not much of an achievement but I thought it was funny enough to share. At a set of lights with the mrs. A Nova GTE with 2 spotty oinks and their snatch in the back pulled up next to me at the lights. I couldn't believe it when they started revving the engine and then when the mrs told me they were looking over at the car sizing it up, I p*ssed myself laughing. Anyway I let them pull away on Amba with their "jumbo jet" exhaust and wide wheel arches with extra low profile tyres on split rims which looked like they cost three times more than the car itself. I decided to press the green launch button on my traction control and hit the gas, While the revs were bo…

and my clutch will let go ! Gets to about 4 1/2 thousand revs and slips. Does anyone know of anyplace in Kent where I can get a new clutch fitted ? I've promised myself never to use a Nissan dealer again but I seem limited for choice down here. Also what's the best replacement clutch ? I'm running about 400 bhp. Will a stock one suffice or should I get a better one ? RPS ? Regards

Posted recently about the problem I had with my auto being stuck in 1st gear. Disconnected the battery for a few days as it had gone flat. Jumped the car tonight and it's sorted itself out. For those that may not know, disconnecting the battery for more than about 30 mins resets the ECU. Whether or not that was what had got its knickers in a twist I will never know but it's sorted, which is the main thing.

Folks, I'm having some MAJOR stress trying to get a decent quote on a jap import TT. For a 27 year old, with 3 years NCB, 1 theft claim, I'm being quoted almost a grand on the dot....and this is for TPF&T! Can anyone point me to someone who won't commit day time, legal robbery, and instead will give me a reasonable quote??? Andy D, why oh why did you decide to put your car up for grabs. It's causing me nothing but stress and sleepless nights!

Have been looking for a late TT to update my 96TT.Just spotted this 1998 manual at http://www.mcminn.co.uk Any of you experts know: Is "pearl purple" a factory colour? Are these factory wheels on late cars? Any other important differences from my old car?

I was just about to post a sneery manual vs auto comment in that thread over there when I got a problem with my clutch. Oops. Can you ever forgive me. Anyhoo the problem is that (and has been for three and a bit years) the bite point on the clutch pedal occasionally changes. Not gradually, just suddenly it moves a couple of inches down the pedal travel. Still works fine and everything. Then some time later (could be days or minutes), there's a change in the feeling of the pedal and the clutch bite is backwhere it was. Today it happened again - and the bite point was suddenly about half an inch above the pedal so the clutch never fully disengaged. Would drive ar…

hello. Just bought jap import 300zx. Got mental two deck expensive looking kenwood cd and graphic thing goin' on up front, but sounds REALLY pants!! Had a poke around & although mechanically retarded, found tiny miniscule stock speakers in boot, and after reading how to take off door skin, gave up hunting for front ones, although by the sound kicking out of them, possible from old alarm clock!! Want to keep head units, but need advice from all you seasoned owners out there what the best set up is. No worries going out buying the stuff and fitting, but releucant to give to any high street monkey to be ripped off. 'Bob' is mentioned often within this site,…

Are they reliable?

I need a set of brake disks for my 1990 N/A Jspec. Nissan have quotted me £80 each plus VAT. I have tried the disks that brembo have listed for all Z32s but their slightly different disk, although only £40 each. After doing a little research, I have found that there is a different disk on this particular year of N/A. does anybody know where I can get a pair cheapish.

where do they go exactly?

The plastic has worn off of my platsic coated trim that runs up the side of the windscreen and over the targa roof. does anyone know where i can get cheap replacements or get these re-coated. Help would be appreciated Mick

Guys I was involved in a car accident this Saturday and the Zed is no more :( some twat pulled out in front of me, and now the zed looks like a squashed kebab! So by the time I see any insurance money and by the time I find another zed, I might as well sell the bigger intercoolers I bought for them, they have never been fitted or used so are spanking new, they cost £500 I'm willing to let them go for £440 no offers, as you know bigger intercoolers for the zed start off at £600 and upwards. Buyer collects. email me if you are interested at mark.salem@landg.com Also when I get the wreck back I will have a leather interior and ECU to sell.

I posted a few weeks ago about my Dump Valves no longer making any noise (and not dumping)... I started thinking about when it stopped and realised that i'd used Ordinary Unleaded (95 ron) when i 1st got the car and Super UL (97 ron) ever since..... It was about this time i started noticing the valves not working.. SO - on Sunday i used 95 ron again and 100 yards out of the garage............ Bitsshhhhhh!!! They work!?!?!? How odd... Ive a TT 2+2 Jap, i thought it would need at leat 97 ron (maybe 100) as it was an import?!??!? Help anyone? ps. what the HP supposed to be on a 300?

Anyone know where I can get some alloys at a good price, pref over the net? Also, what's the widest wheel/tyre you can get on the front and rear without mods to bodywork and what are the offsets? Cheers, Carl

Can you beieve it !!!! 350z

Ok, with soooooo many of you into I.T. I wonder if someone would shed some light on this:- When I am on the 'net and click on a link, say for instance to jump forums, and bugger all happens for ages who's fault is that? Is it the server the forum is located on, or is it my poxy ISP (btinternet) It's so frustrating just sitting there waiting for the screen to change, or for some flicker of light on those two little PC symbols by the clock! Just curious...... Cheers Neil

Ok Ok Ok I know I'm being slow tonight but it took me three readings before I got the Lanlord joke d'oh :) Do you have any idea, Hairsy how frustrating it is to keep to the one post rule in your thread? lol So I had to start this one just to get this reply in hahahaha (PS just watching the end of T2 on the box - still cool. Well, in the molten metal, really but u know what I mean)

I have read what you have said about costs....new server etc etc. When this site was originally envisaged...none of this was taken into account..you wanted a 300zx community...now this has developed...we now need to subscribe...etc...please note I have every respect for what you have done......but like the rest of the internet/e-mail community...a good original idea has resulted in ..if i could just....if had a bit of money....if....if...if... etc.....and this has now killed of your original intentions.......the old system worked fine....slow yes...pain yes.....gash post.....yes....but what heve we gained by "development"...please let me know if I am missing anything....o…
