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

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

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).]

We all know that the Z lights are pointless. My experience found it nearly impossible to drive down a road with no lights with just the head lights. I am not joking. There was just a slight fuz on the ground of my head lights. Changed my bulbs from normal ones to Xenon ones becuase one of my blubs where blown and they only had cheap bog standard ones, and Halfords had the wrong lights listed in thier little book, but thats another story. Anyway. Night came and I tried these new lights which where meant to be 30% brighter, I could see a great difference.......... on one side. The passenger side was really bright and I could seen where the focus of the was on the …

Hi all - I've been away - or really speaking, I am still away. Just imagine my gobsmackedness when, within 24 hours of arriving on an island with a speed limt of 20mph, I see a Zed! Is this the oddest place to find a Zed or what? And, later in the week, we find out that the Zed vs Skyline controversy rages even here. Oh, and here's the volcano this morning from our hotel room And here's the advert www.visitmontserrat.com 5,000 people, one beautiful island, big chill, even bigger volcano.
