Hi, Does anybody know the real answer? Is it because of tension put on the lenses? Is it because we slam the heavy tailgate down? Does anyone know of a way of stopping it happening? Is the answer out there? Mark, currently calling Mulder and Scully!!!

Searched here and found Chris0r / Clarkey http://217.158.136.46/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13664&highlight=battery which ended up at saying any 12v battery with 500 ah will be fine. And another thread which said J-spec terminals are different size to UK. My battery just died - any other advice? Cheers - Gio

Hello guys, My pc has now got the above virus and I don't know how to get rid of it. Norton finds it when the machine boots and says it will close down the machine. I can boot up in safe mode and then go into Norton and do a scan. It finds it and tells me to use the Norton rescur disks (me being stupid, I never made any before hand and now they would be useless), and it will now close windows. Has anyone any idea how I can sort this withought formatting the drive? What would happen if I made new rescue disks from a pc I just loaded windows on? what info would be lost??? what is a memory virus? Thanks Vijay

Guys and Galls, Looking for opinions on aftermarket alloys ... which ones have you seen on Zeds that look the bizzo? Links to pictures appreciated. I'm just not happy with 16 inches (now, I know what you're thinking!!), but it's all about circumference:D As we all know, deep-down! Looking for some 18s, not sure what to go for. So far, have though about ATS Planets (although I can't find a distributor) and OZ Superleggera (although I'm not wholly convinced) - anyone got 'em? So, opinions sought:confused: CheerZ, John.

I recently removed my inlet manifold to access the passenger side rocker cover. All rebuilt now the oil is still dripping onto the a/cond pump. It appears only to leak when cold making me think its a brittle cam seal, heat softening the seal with the engine running. Anyone ever experienced this b4. Any help appreciated.. Cheers John Crisp

jeesh, dont think i could kill anything on the roads at the mo with my clutch slipping so bad. didnt really need to post this - just got fed up seeing timmy's name as the last post on every forum!! :p

Hi All, I am a bit of a Z virgin. I just got my first 300zx today. I got a good price on it but I need a few things like brake pads, service etc. Can someon tell me the best place to get parts and servicing in the essex area. I live in Romford and want only the best for my new car (without mega £££). Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Stuart

Please.

Anyone know if you can chenge the rear wheel studs without pressing the hub out of the bearing. Sure it'll be obvious when the disk's off but I can't be arsed looking at the mo.

FFS don't believe it having to post bad shit again. Some twat pranged into my car this morning, totally his fault, I was stationary :mad: My new bumper is pretty ****ed and headlamp, but more importantly now the car is not boosting. I am getting to the second line on the boost guage and my guage is reading -5 (jap measurement kgcm2 or whatever it is). Could the prang have caused this, or have my turbos seized unluckly at the same time. I have had a look under the bumper and it looks like one of the pipes into the intercooler is being squezed, could this be the problem? I have done an ecu check and getting 55. Is it safe to carry on driving i…

Amyone know where i can get details of fitting poly rear subframe bushes. Will be attempting to do soon.

headlamp washers not working, had my front bumper removed about six months ago, since then headlamp washers not working, the guy must have messed something up. what do i need to check. By the way how the hell do u get to the online manual?

Hi Every one, I have found a brilliant new site on 300ZX and below is the link to it - ENJOY :D http://tuxbox.wic-net.org/modules/forum/index.php

Apart from insurance, just how much do Zeds cost to run, especially in terms of petrol? Anyone know what kind of mpg they get form theirs: all help appreciated

Hi people. I've only just today joined up on this website, but unfortunately I can't seem to post a message on the Wanted section...so here I am on here. I am frantically searching for a 300ZX TT Manual - preferably UK car, but will consider top spec grey. I am prepared to pay upto £5,000 for the right car. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks folks.

Hi all, My first post here. :) I went to the Grasshopper Performance Centre in Lowton today, and spotted 2 red 300ZX outside. Grasshopper Performance Centre is located in the north west, in Lowton. The time was 2:00pm Regards, -Elliot

Anyone tell me where the online manuals gone? I'm oviously a complete clutz, and I need to know where the A/C compressor relay lives. thanks in advance.

Ajay mate, Thanks for the crown. I've now buffed it back up to its former illustrious shine. What do you think?

TT Tim has sold me a speed delimiter. Any way I have fitted it at lunch and just had a quick burn. I managed to get past the limit, just!!!!! Anyway it goes past the limit ok in 5th but is not happy when in fourth higher up the rev range. It seems to cut out, well below 190kph. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern either!!!! Is there a problem or have you guys experienced this? Thanks.

Yay! Saw Nico last night at Sainsbo's - it was kinda funny having two Zs crawling round the car park slowly, blipping the throttles... like a sort of mating dance (yeah, and in the SWB one, guess who felt like the female?). Am I right in thinking Sainsbo's is where all the rude boys hang out on Sunday nights? I was walking along Castle Blvd last Sun, & there was much heavy revving coming from the car park, as well as several shiny Pugs & Novas bombing it down the road. Are these the same guys that "race" around the Broadmarsh Bus station in the evenings? Anyhoo, dunno how often he visits here, but I tried mailing him & it got bounced back :/ I just w…
