The centre panel of my rear wing sags a little in the centre which I suppose is due to its weight and length and I was considering my alternatives: 1. Have a thin metal support made for the middle to support it from the centre of the tailgate below it. 2. Have the existing centre panel remade in polished aluminium. 3. Have the existing centre panel remade in carbon fibre. Not sure which is best. Ideas? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John (Nukem) Newcomb www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

Whats the best insurance company in the UK? Ive just bought a 300Zx (Import) Twin T, 2+2. Norwich union said £1100!! Ps. ive got lots of points!! Dan

My clutch has been slipping about 3500rpm range every time I put my foot down and I have started the inquires about a new clutch. Anyway, though if the clutch is going, may as well get the most out of it and I did loads of quick pull offs, slipping the clutch to get a right fast start. Anyway, besides smelling my clutch is not slipping anymore. Went 0-100 footdown all the way and it didnt slip once. Does that sound like there was just crap on the clutch from the oil leak I have? What should I do? I dont want to spend hundreds of £ on a new clutch just to find its not the clutch thats the problem. Stuart

I don't take 'em and never will through personal choice but on Sky news this morning they came out with this. Ecstasy could cause Parkinsons disease in later life. Experiments where rats had been given the equivalent of three tablets showed signs of developing the symptoms of Parkinsons over a period of time. Hmmm, my question is that surely all the troops in the Vietnam war that were fed MDMA for months on end would be displaying these symptoms around about now wouldn't they??? Or is this just another wild speculation and piece of propaganda to scare monger people out of taking it? I know that what gets sold on the street can be shite and rarely pure …

OK my fellow zederoonies. My landline is back on and I've got BT Openworld to install on the Craptop but first I wanna reinstall '98 as I've got so much crap on the Craptop it runs like an R34 V-Spec with Safeway 95 RON unleaded in it! LOL Yes I work in IT but with a real O/S Unix not this PC shat! So I'm not brilliant with them. I need to backup some of my files onto my Zippy drive and then I'm all set. Do I... a) Scratch the HD completely using format c: or... b) just pop the '98 CD in and do it that way? My HD is really badly fragmented etc. Thankyou greatly in a temple of buddha appreciation stylee and may you bare many,…

Any one got a pair from a car being broken? Been advised that the Mongoose back boxes UI have on now are producing too much back pressure and I need to loose them in favour of some straight through ones? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

When am I getting my headlights back mate? I sent them to you at the Nottingham show and chased them up again over a month ago. Getting urgent now!

Just a quick note to anyone searching for a recommendation for an upholsterer to do re-trims. I have just had the first part of my interior re-trim completed and I am so impressed with this guys work I will actually recommend him. He is charging me just £200 for re-trimming the rear seats, all door/centre console and underdash trim panels. I am supplying the material for the job. I think this is superb value for money and having just got the rear seats and two panels back from him his workmanship is truly excellent. His name is Paul Salter, Derby, 07887-864797. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John (Nukem) Newcomb www.geocit…

As my car isn't running propperly at the mo I want to check its not the ECU screwing up. I want to swap the ECU with another Z to see if this cures the problem. I have a TT and a guy up the road has an NA. Would using this chip make things worse? More importantly, is it safe?

Anyone who's converted their 300 themselves, how did you get the insert out of the back of your crank before putting in the pilot bearing? Looking at it last night, I assume that I need a really small puller. Any tips? Cheers. ------------------ 'I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather and not like his passengers....'
