I installed a wireless network at home. Its grrrrrrrrrreat!!!!!!! No more wires trailing around the house/up the stairs. I went for a netgear solution from inmac but my mate sats that LinkSys are better. But the netgear solution was cheaper, not by much, and I am familier with their kit. Zimon p.s. I am sitting in the lounge watching the footy and I am on the forum as well. See blokes can do two thing at the same time!

What the heck ever happened to...... JRTT=jamie Dylan Van 300 and many more..... Who else has gone missing? weird! LUKE DUKESTER ------------------

I've just realised that the famil business may come in handy to some of you guys. We sell and use many many types of printing equipment etc. If anybody would like caps or T-shirts with 300zx or Z logos of any type or even a pic of something you have on your PC printed on them then i can organise it. Would be easier if a group of you wanted the same logo but i can recreate any picture/logo or whatever on a Tshirt or cap etc in unbeatable quility both the picture and garment. The T's are polyester on the outside with a cotton inside and are fully washable a a normal shirt. I can also do engraving of metal plates in any logo or design in various meta…

Just bought it!!! HA HA HA!! Endless comedy value if a bit pricey! LUKE DUKESTER ------------------

Originally posted in (AA bah humbug) Going back through all the ins' posts i can see that the 'GTO club' insurers are based in Houton - about 5 miles from me. Is it worth me making the effort...& making the effort!!! to visit them personally to see what they can do for us all (ok personal paperwork & sercumstances apply) But when we are a club, Which we bloody well should be!We might pay beer money instead of high street rip off rate. I have a few days booked dossing on the car next week & would be willing to make the effort to do the foot work. But they may ask a membership No. Any ideas or 'Craig/Nico' how can i/we get round this for now? har…

Well it had to happen, everything else has gone well since i bought it a month or two ago :-) I got in the car the other morning to find the edge of my seat wet... I know where the water is coming in because as i was driving around corners more water came in - almost like having an in built shower! I have a jap targa top, and it is coming in on the seam where 2 rubber seals meet at the top of the window/targa top. The actual rubbers look ok... I did a bit of searching on the forums and found some people suggest putting something behind the rubber seal to push it out - to make a tighter fit to the window. Someone else suggested loosening the screws that…

I recently bought my Z and before I start it, or even use the automatic gearbox, should I at least read the manual? Someone said ... "Read the manual you got with the car" and then quoted the manual as saying... "What the manual basically says is that under normal driving conditions use D, rapid overtaking etc. O/D off. Towing or going up steep incline use 2 or 1. That's pretty much it apart from the additional power button you import guys have." But close examination of the manual revelled... Is it better to spout advice without reading the manual and hope I do not get found out or check my facts before pontificating? Any inp…

With my new autoglym set, what can i say.. it looks superb, used super resin polish and glass polish, they reccommend using the glass polish for thr rubebr trim, but it didnt do anything, but the super resin poish made them nice and black. Wish I had a camera now to take a photo its so shiny ------------------

indicators stopped working fuse is ok where is the relay for them. or is there anything else i should be looking for.

Going to be replacing the worn out shocks with nice new Koni adjustables. Anyone know if the old dust boots will fit. Is there anywhere to get cheap new ones cos mine are split anyway.

Just thought I'd share a little info regarding the Avon tyres I had fitted to the front of my Zed. These were 235/45 ZR17s and made a terrible drone above 45 mph. It sounded to me like the wheel bearing were rumbling and when I was advised to change the tyres, I was suspisious to say the least. The problem was, there was still plenty of life left in the Avons. However, I replaced them this morning with a couple of Toyo Proxy's and, hey presto, the horrible noise has gone! Don't think I'll be buying Avon's again, despite their good grip qualities.

Anyone got idea/web site etc where i can source the Razo gear shifter for me auto,cheers.

Hey Guys, Need some advice. I have a 300zx tt Jap Auto, and was thinking about fitting a dump valve. To be honest its just cos i luv the sound. But as it is an auto would they still work as well? Also which one would you recomend? Many thanks

hi mate, if you see this msg this morn can you call me at work - 01227 711112 if not ill try to call ya mon (if your ever there!!!) ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

ok, my clutch is starting to slip now so i guess i may as well replace it with an uprated one - any recomendations on which one/how much/where to buy??? nothing too heavy, at the mo just got induction & zorst, plan to chip & boost increase after and thats about it, so if we're to believe JWT's data, thats about 400bhp (which im lead to believe is a little optimistic) also while im there i was thinking of fitting a lightened flywheel, again, recomendations/cost/where from?? also anyone whos done this - how much difference did it make?? been quoted about £400 a piece from the smithmeister, was hopeing to spend a little less if poss!! courtesy c…

Who has the first Z (as in manufactured) on the forum? When i bought my first Z it was the 196th Z made thought it was the easliest id ever see untill i saw one that beat it by nearly 100!. The first ones will be J spec (as they got em first) most probably registered on an F pleate but maybe on a G judging by DVLA's standards. If your chasis no is 500001 you have the first Z. Then again its probably on some jap scrapheap, but it would be interesting to see where the first Z is. B19RKS

went to yhr local car auctions tonight, and was horrfied to see an m reg zed in the line up, grey in colour, 90 odd thousand miles... hasten to say i diddnt stick around to se how much it went for... i would still be crying no doubt... what a shame to see these things at auction... ------------------

Anyone know of any alternative buttons for a Momo type wheel? I ideally want one with 2 buttons so I can rig up a couple of accessories to it. Seen some on Demon Tweeks site but they look a bit naff. [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 28-09-2002).]

well, having finally found two insurance companies that have no problem with me modding my zed as much as i like upto 400bhp, then i am finally going to consider the works. i have already had new turbos, engine rebuild and run boost controller, chip exhaust, and intake. going to think about the wide arch kit now, respray, wide wheels and lowering springs, maybe a few other engine mods but nothing else serious. the main thing now is getting traction as in low gears i spin a lot. Also had polyurethane bushes put on recently to tighten things up a bit and new 3gbrakes brakes all round. man!! this zed stuff is addictive!!. steve

lads i know this is the wrong forum but need as many to see it as possible, as well as the Z i own a 200zx s14 on a 99 plate V , 42000 miles red manual, 14 months warranty transferable and 1 years tax , FSH , the car is immaculate , im asking 8300 for it as i need to see it quick we already own 3 cars , but im getting no bites on it , i cant understand this as i see them regualar on the forcourts for about 10k+ if you know anyone looking for a nice car whats been well looked after plz give them my details any help is much appreciated thx . pics are in my rides section Chris

Finally got to court yesterday after waiting 5 months for the summons. 100.1 on motorway = 6 points and £145 fine. Not to bad I think. Still get to drive me lovely motor, but will be off road any way replacing the shocks. Would have prefered a small ban. [This message has been edited by Devil (edited 27-09-2002).]
