Well, for a start, I love the new 'Post any porn you find' forum and also the 'Readers wives' section, although that has become a bit of a freak show LMFAO :D:D:D CheerZ, Andy

Hello everyone I've owned a Porsche 928s 4.7 litre for one year and as it is now in prime condition i am thinking of selling it and moving sideways to a 300zx What can everyone tell me about looking for when i buy one,has anyone any pictures of one interior and exterior,any inherent problems with the 300zx and does anyone want to swap a Porsche 928s for one???

I bought (second hand) a set of Sequential HKS BOV with hard pipes for 90 quid. Thats the older version of HKS not the Super Sequential. Anyway...I spend few hours installing them and now my boost doesnt go over 8.5 to 9 PSI. What happen is this. 1st attempt: Install HKS BOV without removing stock recurculation valves. So now I have 4 BOV. Boost goes fine as much as I want. Problem: BOV does not sound good because of the stock recurculation valves. 2nd attempt I remove the vacuum from rec.valves and i used it for HKS ones. This means that I have cancelled the stock ones...Right? Problem: Boost does not go over 8.5-9 PSI. Why is …

My zed has gone all night-rider on me and started flashing its HICAS light when i start it up every now and then. As its an import and I don't have a manual - can anyone translate what my car's trying to tell me? Is it a fluid level warning, cos it seems intermittent? And if so - how do you top it up? Should I carry on drving it when it lights up? So many questions, so few answers. I guess in time i'll be able to answer a few myself. As another totally unrelated point - has anyone seen XXX yet? Saw it last night and have to say it has some incredible stunts in it. Lots of Freestyle MX action - was it Mike Metzeler or someone who did the stunts? …

Morning all.... My clutch is on the way out and I'd like some advice on what would be the best replacement. Am looking for a road-use clutch, as I don't intend to take it on the Ring or anything. Any suggestions? Cheers Anita. P.S. - Craig - like the new look forum! :D :D

Took the Zed out for the first time in a couple of weeks yesterday, and went on a bit of a blast - started noticing that the car pulled nicely in first and second, but when it got to third it seemed like the revs were rising disproportionately to my speed, and I felt I needed to change up at about 80-ish mph. The problem didn't appear in 4th or 5th either. Is third on the Zed quite a short gear, or could my clutch be slipping? Looked back through the receipts and it was only changed about 13k miles ago by SE. Anyone have any ideas how much it is for a new clutch and fitting? :confused:

Has anyone replaced this? I know I've read lots of postings but I'm looking at changing mine and the Nissan FAST CD lists it as a kit: 37521-33P25 Nissan UK want £156 for it, but it is in UK stock so it's overnight delivery. How did you solve the problem and what did it cost? Ta Tim

Is anyone selling workshop manuals for the 300 or is there anywhere i can get them , firstly at a reasonable price and hopefully quickly. Cheers John Crisp

Wohhoooo I finally got the inlet manifold off to get to the housings below to try and see where my oil leak is. Can anyone tell me what the housing is like a rocker cover right about the turbo, that has 8 6mm (10mm spanner size), I didnt have time to get it off today as 2 oh the bolts are akward to access and Asda awaited me with the wife so i had to abandon my pride and joy. The housing i am talking about is like a rocker cover or maybee it is? Anyone help me. Cheers John Crisp

Bit disapointing I reckon, they seems to be working hard to be dangerous and interesting (plus no VBH) So what's yer fave then ? Top Gear 5th Gear Driven Pulling Power

I need to lookup some info and i remember once you guys had the service manual online. is that still available? thanks

I've been to see a beautiful zx today, but there are some things about it that are worrying me. There is juddering when braking, the discs & pads look ok, could there be a problem with the abs? There is also a slight vibration when driving the car, it doesn't seem to be caused by the road surface. Also, there is a sort of buzzing noise which seems to be coming from the cam belt area which is relative to the engine speed, the belt has been changed quite recently, but the owner said the noise has always been there..., I havn't heard it on other zx's! I would be very grateful for anybody's advice, :)

Sometimes I think governments are evil overlords and sometimes I think they are just stupid. For example, their latest wizard wheeze appears to be to use hedgehogs to teach kids to cross the roads safely. Aaaaargh. That's like using Kurt Cobain as a spokesthing for the Samaritans. Good Grief. And worse than that, the soundtrack is by those tight-trousered, big-teethed Aussie falsetto queens the Bee Gees. What better group to really engage with today's UK pre-teens. FFS. My life already. PPS please try not to drive over too many helpless animals - the slippery mess doesn't do anything for your roadholding. PPPS http://www.sttiggywinkles.org.uk…

Hi, what isd safety boost and how does one know when it is active. Thanks.

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…

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
