Andy, you are a star mate! The switch was the only thing causing my windows not to open after getting them shorted out with the rain through the window. It all works great now!!...They go up and down now..How novel! Laters all Chris

I would like some information on what valid entries you have on your V5. I am interested in the following 2 fields, and I have shown what I have on my V5: -Make: NISSAN; -Model/Type: 2-AXLE-RIGID BODY COUPE I am in contact with DVLA and they have kindly offered to change this to something appropriate, but do not have 300ZX as a keyword on their database - the suggestion was that the car perhaps was not sold in the UK. So I am particularly interested in knowing what you original UK spec owners have on your V5 - please can you help and let me know these 2 fields and confirming that your car is the UK model? Thanks, Geoff

Their website infers they can get hold of late V&R spec 97/98 TTs. Very tempting......anyone dealt with them?

A Subura Impreza pulled up next to me last night........ It was a WRX import........ Off the lights he got a Car's length ahead... Then woooooooooosh He was behind my in my mirrors!! Zd's rule Dan

Well Ive finally taken the poor old Zed off the road, major work here we come! Oh how I love my Fiesta 1.6S, shame its manual but you cant have everything! Will I get everything done, how can i hide the Visa statements from Mrs Big, will I beat Duffman Hoffman to the finish (bloody hope so!), where will i fit the NOS Bottles? Is pink candy really a manly colour for a Zed? Will jaylox ever get me Carbon bonnet, how good are Abbey Motorsport? Which is better auto or manual? Do I dare get it dynoed afterwards in the presence of Warren? If I take longer than 6 months can i have a job at SE! Will I fit in the bloody Fiesta? Its all too much, Im going to lie down…

while im at work , couldnt find any site on he net i could feel at home with .. now i finnally got one . .. power to all zed owners.. .. ever live with a volcano in your backyard.. burn baby burn.....

just been looking thru tt tim's ride's and liked the http://www.300zx.co.uk car sticker he's got on rear side windows. You guys selling those? Do you get a couple for your £20 membership? also the logo for your mobile phone-I want one!??

Ok Z has never revved over 5.5K revs. Recently wont start at all. To check there was fuel pressure today i disconnected the fuel line after the filter and KAPOW! no fuel came out. I even turned the ignition on, no fuel came out. Even tried cranking...no fuel. So anyone got a fuel pump for sale or could it be something else to do with the fuel system? Thanks Rob

Cheers Andy, The switch has arrived. Its in a beter condition than my old one..lol. And quicker than Nissan UK. Ill put it in over the weekend and let you know if it works ok. Only thing Im worried about is the wiring . As you know when the switch went in/op it was because I left the window open and water got inside the switch causing a short. I just hope this fixes it! Thanks again Mate. Chris

Isn't there a "rides" section anymore? Is that a magic MEMBERS only bit? Don't think Craig has cashed my cheque yet!

Some help required here, just bought a new base unit to replace my ageing P2 266, and I was thinking about the Hard drives. The new PC will be running Win 98 SE, and the current one is Win 95 - is there any way I can copy the old HD data to the new HD, or even put the old HD in the new PC? Don't want to lose all my programs/documents. Any help greatly appreciated

Anyone ever bought the CD rom advertised in Courtesy Parts in the USA. I think its well worth 70 Dollars but has anyone ever bought it, are there that many differences in the USA 300's to make it not a worthwhile purchase or are there any places over here to get a copy of the CD. Cheers John Crisp

Any ideas, Got a 1991 TT 2+2 Jap. Don't seem to be getting any hot air out of my heater or climate. Keep going up and down with the temperature controls but there doesnt seem to be any change up the temps but the aircons working?????? Just had a 60,000 service requiring belts and waterpump change, don't suppose this may have something to do with it?

For all you guys that have added extra bodywork to your 300's, via body kits which ones are any good? Are there any to be avoided in terms of wuality, ease of fitment?? Have had a scan thru all the usual sites and particular styling is down to individual taste but I dont wanna lash out hard earned on something I could have knocked together in my lunch hour!!!

Hi there! Im new to 300zx's, my previous cars being a 280bhp pulsar and a 335bhp stg2 cossie. I decided to stick with RWD (loads more fun) I recently acquired a K plate 300zx(jap spec) and don't want to leave it standard. A couple of questions if i may. 1. I want to TOTALLY overhaul engine (racing pistons etc). I need a specialist tuner but cannot find anyone on the net, any idea's? 2. I only have about £6000 to spend on modding engine + car. Any idea how far this will get me? 3. How much to subscribe? Thanks in advance for all info,

Several bits going cheap......................... I've got a pair of gadgets that are designed to fit inside the doors of a 300ZX. Its basically a speaker mount with built in amplifier (made from black plastic). Some Jap spec cars have them. I think they are Bose if I remember rightly. If anyone wants them then you can have the pair for £10 plus postage (£6), if necessary. The speakers have been taken out, although the speakers mounts are round and a standard size. All the wiring and amps are still in the units. I did put a photo of them in my rides section a few months ago. I don't know if they'd still be there. If anyone wants any UK door cards then you …

Right, I'm looking into this with various insurance companies and will be available to valid club members (so get your money to Craig). Firstly, Craig was dealing with a guy called Chris from Bickley Insurance. He has agreed to look into a club scheme but has asked if anyone needing a quote in the very near future to send him a mail with all the details - chris@bickleyins.com and he will get you a quote. If you do contact him, can you send me a quick mail letting me know how competitive he is, so I can keep tracks with him. Secondly, does anyone know which companies already have schemes set up for other clubs. Craig told me that Dorset insurance now do the MR2 …

How do you measure them? :confused: Stopwatch and a keen eye, Laser beams and high tech stuff? And who's got the best time! Pete

hi guys! does anybody have a pic of the rear window conversion that looks like an mr2 for a 2+2 zed?? i have seen the swb pics on the z-centre site but wanted to know if the 2+2 was different in any way I.E more room for the rear passengers?? cheers guys:D :D

I know it's dark right now but I could do with a picture of the underside of the front OEM bumper. It's the bit called the Engine Under Cover on page BF-6 (the body section of the manual) http://300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=bf&dir=&config=&refresh=&direction=forward&scale=0&cycle=off&slide=6&design=default&total=46 I need the picture from below looking up. Reason - I just had some respraying done and I don't think this bit has been put back properly. For example, there is what looks like some form of air-vent dangling down in front of the driver's side front whell but nothing matching it in front of the passeng…

Anyone no where i can get the bulbs for the map reading light/interior lights. It's so dam dark in here,!!!!!!!
