Useful little tool which some of you may have seen before.

Dull, boring, quiet??? Not here! :D

I'm after buying a non turbo short wheel base but apparently these are only in Jap spec so the insurance would be more than if it were UK spec, but surely it wouldn't be more than a UK spec TT? Easy on me guys , I'm new here & even more vulnerable being an SX man, but it's only a mater of time. Would much appreciate any advice. Cheers lads.:)

I've found a '90 model coupe300zx locally, they want $8000 for it, although i think i'll try to drop the price (i'm in america). Anyway, the car's got $20k in receipts to go with it, some stuff i remember him telling me: new tires, new clutch, new paint, new timing belt, spark plugs, new front air dam, new window, cd player with new speakers...I'm sure there's alot more, i cant remember though. The car's a n/a 5 speed. The only noticable flaw is a crack in the drivers seat (leather) What all should i look out for when i test drive it? All i've heard about going bad are the injectors (something to do with an engine fire, right?) and second gear stripping. What else is th…

With all this horrible weather we've been having lately the inside of my headlights have fogged up with condensation. Are they sealed beam units?or can I remove the front glass and clean them? Cheers, F.T.

Over the past few days I've noticed that the brake light stays on after I've started up.It stays on for most of the journey(to work,about 16 miles)but occasionaly goes off when I brake harder than normal. I've checked the brake fluid level and that seems OK,any ideas? Cheers, F.T.

Does my Uk 1991 have OBDII? I'm guessing it doesn't... .. in which case what interface standard is used by the DDL port? Is it 160 baud ALDL for example? Just wondering, cos I want to make an RS232 adapter for it. Similar I suppose to what Lymon is selling. (Don't worry mate - I'm not intending to even try and make another ConZult!)

While I do love my Zeds The constantt trouble and expense has me thinking of gettingshot of at least one of them.Both ar autos and I am hankering for a manual,(always have been, even though I have been driving Auto Zeds for 3 years now). Just test drove a 98 S14a 200sx. Full leather in metallic green. I had an s14B before buying my first Z in early 2000. I forgot how fast these cars really are. I think itwould give my UK spec Auto a fright. My SWB Auto TT would wip its arse but thats a chipped TT with 40K on the clock (Although I've blown the Auto BOX recently and havent driven it since June.) Question By the 200SX or convert to Manual???????

On the ball joints can you put shimmes in them to remove play like you used to be able to do on minis or do i need to buy new ones (please say u can shimm them :D ) thanx

hey i know this is a zed forum . but just to mention that my last two cars here on montserrat were english and i loved them even though when i ordered parts from england they kill me with that dreaded vat .. anyway i have a 1975 triumph 2000. and a 1968 wolseley. both down due to my affair with my zed .. back on engligh cars i still think england make some of the best cars .. maybe british leyland with be reborn??? ha ha ha .... power to al zed owners.....

Ok folks... I have a rumbling noise eminating from underneath the car from about 40ish mph up to the ton. Noise doesnt seem to be gearbox cos it doesnt change pitch when I change gear. If anyone has ever driven a car with a very noisy wheel bearing it sounds not dissimilar to that except its a lot louder and vibrates more. Also, if this has any bearing on it, it seems to get louder going round a right hand corner...weird I know but true. Ive been told gearboxes on the Zed are bullet proof to a certain extent. Mines a manual 5sp version..and like I said earlier it doesnt seem to be box related. Could this be a CV joint or similar?...or is it really the prop cent…

I've seen a few truly mingin Z's in the last few days so post your pics and the winner gets a gift voucher to the car crusher :D

Hi all , hope somebody can recomend a decent garage in the south wales area, i need some engine repairs, dont mind the price as long as z is treated carefully. many thanks. yellow zed cardiff!!......

OK...up till Monday, my flaptop has been working fine, despite having Windows ME loaded on it. Monday afternoon it had a hissy fit about memory, freezes and required rebooting. Since then, depite rebooting many more times and stuff, I can't get open windows to appear as shortcuts on the Taskbar, so have to cold-switch between applications. It has 256mb of memory on version 4.90.3000 of Windows... Any ideas as to what I need to do to get the shortcuts re-appearing, please? Cheers
