Hi Guys, I've just joined the fan club of Peter at PPS, just done a top paint job on my Z and it does look exceedingly good for very little outlay. Top Bloke as well picked me up from Newcastle airport and helped to fix my Z (with the help of Macca Jaylox and ChrisC, cheers guys)when it didn't start! Anybody down south wanting some paintwork done, I would advise you to go up there! The flights from Stansted are £25!!!!!! and the quality of work and the price would be difficult to get down south!

Bit quiet on the new board innit!! Why are Porsches and the like..worth more than Nissans of the same age?:D See Youz... PORKRAT:D :D :D

I am just about to buy a 300zx Jap import and am told it has the speed limited to 109mph. How easy is it to 'overcome' this and at what cost?

Any ideas chaps? Standard TT manual. Everytime i wash the motor i find a black gue\oil deposits all over the rear bumper. Like it has come out of the exhaust. Any ideas?

Hi there i have had a new power steering pump. Before this my hicas light was permantly on, on the dash. Now it would appear i have a leak in the system and every time the oil level drops the hicas light will come on. Anyway till i get it sorted my question is. If the light is on dose this mean the four wheel steer is disabled? I ask this as the light will flick on and off in corners and im a bit on edge about the car switching between 4 wheel steer and 2 wheel steer in the middle of the twisty bits!!!! Any one know? And is there just an easy way to turn this 4 wheel steer of because I like putting the back end out and not guessing what the four wheel…

What do you guys think of injector cleaner. Any good in high powered cars? Thanks. Mike.

Nah, of course not. :) However, now that I perhaps have your attention.... I have a couple of problems which I don't seem able to resolve and, so far, no-one has replied to. :( First off, I've managed to aquire a speedo convertor/delimiter which i'd like to fit to my J import. Unfortunately I do not have the wiring instructions for it. Surely someone, somewhere has had one fitted and has the instructions? Or perhaps someone can point me in the right direction? The other is one which has been asked by a few others over time and also appears not to have an answer. At the request of the wife, who also drives the Z, I had a reversing sensor fitted. However, …

Hi everyone...I'm hoping some of you people might be able to help me out. I've got a 94 Zed, and recently I found out from my local Nissan dealer that my front tie end bush, and rear subframe bush were knackered. Nissan are quoting me a few £££ short ot £1200. I've found a place in Tamworth, West Midlands, that will do the same job using something called poly bushes for a total of £860. I just wondered two things: firstly, is fitting poly bushes a good idea? I've seen lots of posts on various sites advising to use genuine Nissan parts, so I don't want to get stung on a poor quality repair, to then find out I need the job done again by Nissan. Secondly, does an…

Sorry guys - pushed the wrong button - Oops!

Now I guess everyone that bought the racelogic traction control has it working I ws wondering what are your thoughts on it. How exactly does it transform the handling of the car? does it take some of the fun out of driving around roundabouts in the wet? anything weird happened? engines blown up at all? I don't think ill be purchasing it, just interested in how it would feel,

thanx to phil for getting the beast back in order although it took a while for the idle to sort itself out but its now back to its good old self

I feel this may well be the killer. I have some rust developing under the HICAS unit under the bonnet. I think that in one small area it may have gone all the way through. Is this repairable? I think it is. Take out the HICAS pump/solinoid, what ever it is clear the rust that is surface and cut out the small part that isnt and patch it with some good metal. Round that area doesnt look too structural its a fair bit away from the suspention turret. Any idea people? Is what I said plausable?

Hi can anyone tell me if antiqueporndealer@hotmail.com,has added themselves to your MSN list? or can tell me who it is, as I have blocked them. cheerZ Macca;)

All - I'm looking to buy a 300ZX TT, in the london area. I was wondering if there was anyone around this area that would be willing to come along to a viewing or two with me to give some expert advice. I'm not really after "those are ruuuude alloys" (I can figure that myself ;)) - more interested in someone who can spot bad turbos/exhausts and who can tell me how the car *does* perform in relation to how it *should*. If you're interested, please lemme know, and give me an idea of what kind of money you'd want to come along for a test? Cheers, Russ.

Can anyone help???? Sometimes when I driving my Z under hard acceleration it will cutout and die normally at around 6000rpm. All power is lost until you come off the accelerator. It is similar to what happens when a rev limiter cuts in. It is rather worrying not to mention being very embarrassing:o Cheers.

info re warped disks - or not as the case maybe - On my third set of front pads, and when they get about two thirds worn, the car behaves like the disks are warped. Change the pads for new ones and the vibrations dissapear completely. It's happened on 2 sets so far, nissan oem and green stuff - so if you think you've got warped disks, try changing the pads first. You might save some money. And before anyone tells me to upgrade etc, the car's an na. cheerz Jack
