Just thought you might like to know ... On way home from work tonight, locked horns with a brand-spanking Merc CL500 coupe. Matey obvioulsy thought he'd leave me for dead as we screamed down the slip road of the M20 (he was in front and had a slight head start). However, I'm pleased to relate that my little baby gained ground on him all the way to 120 'ish where other traffic was encountered and anchors sharply applied! Fooking Marvellous! 9 of my car available for the same money as his, and even though I've just checked the Merc website to see the CL500 has 306bhp as standard, the zed had the edge. No wonder he looked a bit pale when I passed him! …

OK OK OK I know, this forum should be about cars (yes you're quite right it should) but 2 things I just heard on the telly news just made me flip (probably "Angry of Tunbridge Wells" puce over "Fence sitting wimp LibDem" orange). 1) The chairman of the Tory party complaining that the electorate (that's us, folks) think they are the nasty party - which is "unfair". Ahhh dear little diddums - you caused the biggest wave of unemployment this country has ever seen, said "there is no such thing as society", sold off the family silver, ruined our education, health and railways and you think that being called "nasty" is unfair? Well, sit on this and spin... 2) Ian Dunc…

Anyone seen this before: Driving along minding my own business when suddenly the windscreen wipers come on all by themselves. The only way to stop them is to turn off the ignition - something that's a bit difficult in rush hour on the A12! I've taken the wiper fuse out and put it back in when it starts raining, but it's not really ideal. If anyone can point me at what this might be I'd really appreciate it, Damien

Like Gio my Z is smoking too. I had some fun with my car today doing a few full acceleration pull offs from standing start but most of the 30 min drive was driving at 50-60. Get to the car park and had to wait for a for 20mins for a place and way when I find one, I reverse into the space only to be faced with smoke coming from the exhaust and quite a bit, and it smelled of oil. However the car had not beed driven for over a day and nothing occured when I started it in the morning. The car lay was stopped in the carpark for 2½ hours before starting again, and nothing was visible when I started it then and all the way home no smoke appeared. Is this my turb…

This sunday (13/10/02) 12 noon We have decided on going to the foaming jug, in oaken. The maps to get to this are here: and this is how to get to the place from the M6 Allthough a longer but easier route is: To join the M54 from M6 J10a go up to juntion 3 get off and head towards wolverhampton (A41) Carry on for about 3.5 miles and the pub is on the left just after a set of lights at a fork in the road with a bunch of uninhabited houses in the middle (you will see why ) This means going past the place and coming back on yourself. Let me know which way you woudl rather take, cos we can gladly organise a convo…

WISE INVESTMENT? Receivers called in to wind up a carpet firm in Cardiff recently found a ten year old XJ220 behind a bricked up staircase. The directors of the company had bought the £415,000 car it as an investment.

Hi there i need to do a time belt on my 300 zx turbo. It's a jap import and I thought i better be safe than sorry as i have no service history. Any way i can source a belt easy enouh but have been advised by my machanic that i should also replace the pulleys and belts etc. He tells me these normally come in kits. E.G. When you change cam belt you might as well do these as well. Can any one help I can't source them any where. Has any one ever done a cam belt?

Hi Anyone got a telephone number for ordering a replacement foam element for the HKS induction kit on my Import TT? I very stupidly expected my local C.A.R. 'Supercentre' to be of help, but they are just giving me the dick around. "Oh, it's a Nissan 300ZX TT.....is that a Nova or a Corsa?" AAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!! Cheers!

Just got my 300Zx on Friday... Already managed to damage the underside of it!! There seems to be an engine cover attached with two bolts either side that is no loose (and a lot smaller than before!!).. Also in front of that the air inlet for the radiator has a tray which is damaged... Anyone know where i can get these cheap? Not much cash as i've just spent everthing on my Fairlady....... Dan

No2 My Zed has 135,000km / 84,000m. Originally bought by me at 72,000km / 45,000m in Aug 99 and serviced by Nissan ever since. April - C service. May - Mongoose fitted. June - Checked over by JeffTT, TB clean etc. Tickety-boo. This August, she was left ticking over on a ramp while the bloke did the MOT. After a while, blue smoke started to drift out of both exhausts. When I drove home there were a few clouds of blue smoke which cleared after 5 - 10 miles or so. Today, I pick up the car from the bodyshop (where it has been standing for a few days) and again, blue smoke for a few miles before it gradually goes away. Is this a) something that…

I just picked my car up after 2 weeks in the bodyshop and it is almost impossible to get into gear. The pedal is limp for most of its travel and only just bites when it is right on the floor. 2 Qs: Q1 - when I dropped it off at the bodyshop, it was fine. For what possible reason is it now so bad? (The tripmeter indicates less than 1km so it can't have been thrashed, surely?) Q2 - is this the fix? Or is there a worse problem lurking? http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnetfaq/FAQpages/clutchadjustment.html (had new Nissan clutch Feb 2000 - no track days, never raced or rallied) TIA - Gio ------------------
