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…

Someone kindly gave me them when I needed to raise the Zed, never used them. Free to anyone who wants them. Email me glenlewis@newyorkcity.com and ill get em in the mail. Or they are going in the trash:)

tis on in a mo...

The lights on the electric windows buttons and on the /\ and \/ on the AC controler are they meant to be lit up? I know the window is but only the /\ of the drivers button is lit up. How can I get them lit up again? Is there a bulb inside the window and AC console? Stuart

How about a poll to find out who has Dump/BOV's and whether they are pleased with them,and who has stock Recirc valves and doesnt get the 'Goosehonk'noise? Cheers, F.T.

Anybody ever used aerosol touch up paint on a red zed. I did and while I got a good finish I can see the colour is not a perfect match. Is it crap touch up paint from Halfords or has me car faded? The original finish on my car looks superb and nice and bright in the sunshine. Under streetlights the front bumper can a look slightly different shade and of course my small repair. Any pigment guru's out there?

Will a set of 19's running 245/35's with a 35 mm drop work?????

Mike at MJP has made me up a set of springs for my Z. I haven't received them yet but since higher limit on credit card am now going for a complete set of shocks and springs, so this set is for sale, I've gone for 35mm drop and 20% uprated. Nearly forgot, £75. If you want them I'm sure I could get MJP to send them direct to you.

Hello all ! I've a 95 300ZX NA - US Model that I've brought back to France. Last week, I broke the alternator and NISSAN Europe say that they don't have this reference available. Can someone tell me : 1) if this part (300ZX NA) is the same as on the 300ZX TT (French) ? 2) where i can order the correct part if different (UK, US, etc...) ? Thanks a lot. Patrick patrick.grellier@verlina.com PS: it cannot be rebuilt !

Mark from L&G - I've forgotten your surname and need some desktop support without going through the proper channels. Can you call me on my mobile please ?!? Number is on Outlook directory. Cheers !

After a very very very long search for a good zed at a good price I've finally come across one...BUT, it's in graphite grey! I've seen a picture of this car (and other standard graphite zeds) and it looks like an extremely boring and dull colour. Does anyone out there have a graphite grey zed who can prove to me just how good this colour can look? Ideally I would love a black zed... even more ideally, I would love Andy D's black zed. But, good black zed's are hard to come by (in fact, any good zed is hard to come by at the price I want to spend!) And, I can't afford Andy D's zed.

Okay, I've been reccomended this company, it's probably okay. But I wanted to see if anyone else had been there. I've had enough of getting my car back with bits hanging off, bits not tightened up correctly, bad jobs, dents from ramps or being charged more than quoted... etc etc...

Hi, Can someone reccomend the best way to fix up the engine undertray. At the moment it's held together with cable ties, which break after a short time and everything falls apart. What do you use? Where possible I've got the orginal bolts etc, but a lot of the original undertray holes don't seam to match up with a Stillen bumper. Jez.

Another question if you don't mind. Want to chuck a sub in the boot - anyone know of someone who makes up a nice little snug-fitting box? (in THIS country!) The black Z at Jeff's with the 2 subs left & right in the boot, anyone on here? Thanks, James.

Does anyone know of anyone that re-builds calipers? Cheers.

Cats & back pressure! I want to remove cats but want toi keep some backpressure to save the enevitable (rear seal failure). Ok. Can a aftermarket expantion can/silencer be fitted in its place with sure results? Boost psi. As in the mag from the rolling road test last year, im still over fueling LARGE! I've made my own jets & going down the range in 0.1mm incraments. Im at 1.32mm at pressent, the differance is massive & the boost is off the scale (not that accurate we know!) just how much can the stock system take safely. And why am i waisting so much fun/fuel? The fuel system is mint & no leaks. harve

I know this has been asked b4 but doing a search did not come up with any real answer so............ BOVs or Recircs(aftermarket) I dont care about the whoosh but my standard recircs have had it, what I do care about is the general performance of the car. Im leaning towards recircs.... Answers on a postcard please!

Hi, just put my Z through its SVA, it failed, actually on several stupid things, how about the front indicators are no good because they cant be seen at a 45 degre angle from the opposite side to which they are flashing??? As if it matters. Solution? to pack they out a bit so they can be seen. (And of course remove the packing when its passed.) If any one wnats some recent experience on the SVA just drop me a line. Brakes, it failed because with the engine off and the servo empty at a certain pedal pressure it only had 28% of some figure they came up with, so I need new pads, apparently Jap ones are harder and so need a touch more effort. What do you guys suggest…

Anyone got any recommendations ? It's a present for someone to use in the gym so it needs to be small. Ideally have enough memory for a couple of hours of music plus reasonable battery life. Oh, cheap would be nice too. And the ability to have it in my hands in 4 days is essential (yes darling, of course I'm ready for your birthday). Cheers !

You work for Merrill Lynch? What building?

Hi, I need some advice on where to get a new door, glass and mirror for my 300zx or even a good body shop to sort it out. Unfortunately my car was hit by a motorbike this weekend and cyclist came through my driverside window, taking most of the door with it!! Any help appreciated
