concerning your UT2003 clan Im up for it got the game and own :) I play CS for one of the countrys top teams and are in top 5 of the international leagues and needing a change so im up for a laugh :) Ive sent craig a cheque last week but dont think its arrived so am resending it due to me posting in here m8

Not sure I'm doing the right thing here. Actually, I've pretty much convinced myself it's the best thing to do, but I'm hardly being objective because I'm telling myself what I want to hear (schizophrenia is b'stard like that). I'm waffling. Does anyone else find their 300 calling them a pussy and demanding more modification?! Fantastic motor that it is, I knew it had potential for reasonable improvement, which is why I bought one. But it seems to be never ending: I drive it a while, I'm happy, then something doesn't feel right - usually "it could pull harder". Up til recently I was pretty happy - SE's coilovers, some phatt 18's and big f*ckoff AP brakes had me flying aro…

Short and sweet one: does anyone know of a place that will do split-rim alloy refurbishment? Thanks :)

Hello all, I am looking to buy a new car, and have looked at the supra and 300zx. I want the twin turbos and am looking into this range of car as my brother drives an m3 evo and I am wanting to keep up with him! (if not beat him) Any way, I am moving form an import mr2 (non turbo) and have come accross a 300zx fairlady z twin turbo. 1993 Kreg 80thousand miles ( although it is a japaneese import) cloth trim, gloss black, targa top, atermarket wheels, superb condition body wise, at £7000. Is this reasonable, and what should I look out for? I will be test driving again on Sunday 20/10/02 at 2pm so would appreciate any advice etc before then. Took the car for a…

tell me if i am wrong but i think ive seen in the rear panel,instead of having 4 reversing lights the bottom 2 were replaced with fogs.is this a 1 off or is there a mod out there?

sorry if this has been asked before but i just bought a 92 z and i was wondering if anyone can help with derestricting it, as at the moment 180kmh is as fast as it goes at the moment ..thanks:cool:

Just had a look at a blokes NSX. £16k import. About 50k miles. J reg black with an unmarked body, 17" wheels and dinner plate sized drilled Brembos on the front. The interior was so Z like apart from no room in the back. Sounded great too. Have to say it looked gorgious up close too. Didnt get to drive it tho. Mind you said bloke was sorely impressed with my Z at less than half the cost. Whats the view from those in the know?

Anyone tell me how to clean out my sidelight lenses. They look a bit dirty and obviously have chlorophyl type organisms growing in there but I dont want to split the moulding. Any ideas? Willie

anyone on here fitted the clear rear lenses that are offered on ebay. Are they easy to fit?

Andyduff was dead right. It aint brake pads clonking. Its the pivot bolts in the poly bush inserts. I re checked the pivot bolts on the tension rods and one took a quarter turn and the other where most noise came from took the best part of a full turn. Result no more clonks when you reverse and brake. And I thought I tightened them up properly when I did the poly bushes! Willie

where do i find the online service manual nowadays. Thought it was around here somewhere.

How do people rate them i read somewhere that they were one of the best both for filtration of the air and hp gains also are they loud cos i bum loud :D

The two suspension bushes that are on the top of the hub assembly that are atteched to the upper link rear and upper link front have gone on both sides and in turn has knaked my bridgestones in about 3k :( went to Nissan and they said they were £8 each but there on back order and it could be a month till they can get them they said the part num was 55157 33poo is this correct may be miss read as it is hand writen by dealer any one got any sugestions. I looked at poly bushes but they dont seam to include these ones and realy didnt want to spend too much ether cos ive got to shell out another few hundred quid for some new tyres cos in the last week its taken about 1 mm …

whats the web site address? thanx

here's an odd one, every so often when i boot down in me Auto TT then the boost just doens't kick-in, its only happened 3 times now, and i'd normally be doing about 40/50mph when i boot it to overtake, anyone else had this, its nothing to do with safety boost or something has it? anyway any ideas much appreciated. Just changed the brake pads for some yummy ebc red-dots but man the brakes in the Z are a load of s**t aren't they? did i read somewhere that the skyline calpiers and disks can be fitted? anyway happy Z'ed in, especially now we starting to get some ice on the roads in the morning, so come on then who's gonna be driving there Z over winter?....... …

What is going on? I thought that with the upgrade of the forum things would go from strength to strength but I have to say it's gone backwards! At least on the old setup there were loads of fights, fall outs, pics and funny posts that kept it interesting. Since we moved over I have to say IMHO it's gone sour! No more hilarious threads, no more daft pics and to be perfectly honest a loss of posts from hardcore members it's nothing short of fcuking sh1te!!! New forum has been up and running now for a few weeks and it strikes me that it's going downhill sharpish. Die hard techies are propping the whole thing up with boring tech talk but the whol…

Does everyone else spend 10mins filling up the ZX with petrol, as the pump constantly cuts out if you give it full whack? Dont mind in the summer but now its winter...:) Barry

is there some sort of safety feature to prevent from high levels off boost being run whilst the engine is still coldish. Its just after about 3 miles the temp. guage is in middle , so nice and warm, but when put foot flat on floor the engine kind on dies and i end up shooting forward on to the steering wheel. This has happened 3 times now and seemed to be the same feeling as when I tried turnibg the boost up to about 18psi for go. Is it just the injectors running out or something else?

I know nobody here probably means any offence but could we please refrain from using the expression Jap on the forum. I've worked beside Japanese people for a bit and it's not liked. J-spec or Japanese takes a bit longer to type but it's nicer.

Hi, After some advice regarding lightened flywheels. Seen the recent article in Jap Performance and it mentioned that lightened flywheels give better throttle responese. Currently about to purchase an upgraded clutch(ACT) from America so thought about purchasing a flywheel aswell. How does the flywheel affect the performance and what are the advantages/disadvantages? Any recommendations on makes of flywheel available? Thanks Ronnie

Anyone ever had the inlet manifold off their 300 TT. I have an oil leak below it and due to access to pipes under the manifold being restricted, am wondering if the engine will need to come out. Cheers John Crisp

Does anyone have a link to or copy of the dashboard warning lights ,what they are and when they should be doing it. My new Jap Z aint got no user manual!
