19 year old scally. Just weeks ago nicked for ripping off someones CD player, speakers and amps from the car, then arrested for driving with no insurance. He is fitted with his very own personal electronic tracker and he wins £9million on the lottery. What would we do with people like that? God has a chuckle! No justice!

Can it really be against the law to break the elbows/knees/wrists of the members of our wonderful 'yoof' who are insisting on letting off fireworks ACCROSS the high street?

Hi, Can someone reccomend a Z-shop or someone willing to do some private work, not to far from High Wycombe. M40 J4, M25 J16? Ie. Clutch change etc I would like to try Z-World but it's just too far. Don't want to use Silvia or a nissan main dealer. I had a few annoying things happen reciently trying to use people / garages far away (100+ miles). Don't trust most places, Nissan in Slough dented the door one time, the last local place also scratched my new paintwork, lost some parts, fitted the shocks incorrectly and many more things.... need someone I can trust, Zee you. Jez.

Have just got the car back from the garage - full diagnostics, oil change and no problems! its a great feeling when its running well...touch wood!

my z j-spec has a tinted front screen with shade band, and a rear tint on the back thats kinda purply to look out of but is a bugger at night, the side glass doesnt seem to have a tint at all, now with the interior being cream leather it kinda feels rather exposed when im in it, im used to my supra that had a dark blue interior and tinted glass all round, is it normal for j specs to have non tinted glass at the sides. so im thinking of going tinted at the sides, i take it film is the cheapest option, what would u guys recommend, ive seen just the rear sides tinted, i take it the main side glass could get scratched as they do the uppy down thing, also my z is red and …

Hi, Anyone know the address for the Holland Z forum. And I don't mean.... home.worldonline.nl/~zzxnl - there is no forum there, only information about the Holland club. I found something here... /www.z-zx-club.de/ ... but I have a feeling it's not the main Holland forum? See ya, Jez.

Hi chaps bit of advise from the IT wizards please, having downloaded Zonealarm firewall and configuring etc in the last 20 mins whilst checking the forum out Zonealarm has reported every 2 to 3 mins the message below or very similar ones.

Can someone remind which is the best/most appropriate to use ? i.e. one which doesn't slurp up water, is compatible with the remnants of existing fluid (prob DOT 3) and won't eat the existing seals etc. Is it DOT 5.1 ?

Has anybody got an air flow meter for a 91 auto na import, as I understand this could be causing my problem with the revs dying off at 2000 or so. Or has anybody got any other clues. ECU diog is clear?

Hi My car is currrently in the process of being converted to a manual. Managed to get all the parts etc, but was after some advice from anyone who has done the conversion themselves. Many thanks Ronnie

If anyone can give me some advice on this before I go and spend large amounts of cash I haven't got I would be very grateful. I run a standard UK 1991 TT (auto). The speedo works when it feels like it. All other instruments work fine. The rev counter works smoothly and the mileometer/trip work fine. The speedo normally works when it is raining, on dry days usually nothing. If it reads nothing and you floor it-( say 80mph for arguments sake), it will go straight up to 80 mph and then drop down to zero regardless of what speed you are doing. I have had it flip over and come to a rest at max (190 on clock), then a couple of days later it flipped back to zero. When it i…
