Hi Bob I got Glass break Tilt Full closure Anything else you can add?Can you also make the windows go down to? cheerZ Iain ------------------ KEEP IT SIDEWAYS! [This message has been edited by MAC 1 (edited 25-09-2002).]

Hi all. As some of you may remember a few months ago I was involved in a smash and my car was subsequently written off. I have been made several offers by way of compensation and the best offer to date is £6000. In view of the fact that I had just spent thousands having the engine re-built with new turbos, fitted an upgraded auto box, new bembros, scorpion ss exhaust with de-cat pipes, se chipped ecu, tsw alloys etc etc……..I stand to loose a small fortune. The salvage rights have not been discussed yet but I am considering requesting the salvage as part of the settlement. I am not in the position to be able to break it myself and am wondering if I…

Who reckons these cars are seriously nice to look at ? There have been at least 2 different versions, and both look really nice to me. They also have nice engines, I believe. If I couldn't have a Nissan I would defo buy one.

Had fully closure yesterday added to thx Z ,ive got a toad Ai606 , so wanted the modules for shutting the windows added . Anywaz go to pick the Z up and the fitter backs the car out of the workshop, i get in with delight and start her up ..... to find the HICAS and ANTI-LOCK lights on the dash board light up like a xmas tree no power steering or nothing , so i go back in and tell him he just looks at me a bit lossed and shouts his colleague to help me so he checks the fuse boxes and to his dismay its in japenese and he aint got a clue what to do next , so i ring jeffTT (thx by the way much appreciated) and he tells the fitter what to do so eventually i…

Just a quickie re. the turbos overhaul: Can you tell me where you got the o/h kits from? Cheers Mark

Hi there Anyone got an ignition modile going?? Having trouble getting my hands on one Thanks Matt

I drive a G reg import 300zx twin turbo with an auto box. When I come to a temporary stop, say at the traffic lights should I shift to neutral and then use the hand brake? I think I should because ….. I am racing around too fast, see the lights at green and go for it! But they change so I throw out the anchor and stop with 2mm to spare. Now my front brake pads and quite hot, Digression … the front pads seem to do a lot more work than the rear and get replaced about twice as often as the rear… End of digression So, as I said, my front brake pads and quite hot and if I keep them pressed against the disks there is a small, but finite, possibility of …

How I repaired my Exaust for £10 My exaust was sounding bad but then it suddenly got very loud, upon examining the underneath I found that both pipes between the Cats and the rear box were both sheared in two. Here is a picture of one of them after I had cleaned it up with a wire brush after I bent back the metal shroud. PIC1 below I had a look around my local Car bits shop and they had some sheet stainless steel sold under the Gun Gum brand which I got and I decided to also get some jubilee clips, 4 x 40-60 and 2 x 75-95. The only fixing tools used were an electric screw driver and a small wrecking bar. PIC2 below I cut the stainless steel sheet …

Hi, my side lights have stopped working, I think its a fuse as I was playing with the head light switch wires (wiring in a fog light), but I dont know where the fuse box is. I have checked the box with relays and fuses on the near side inner wing. The head lamps are OK. Help please. Thanks.

Hi Guys, Just wondered what your opinions were on which lightened flywheel to get, can't seem to get a major difference of opinion on any of them from TT.net. So wondered if anyone on here had bad/good experiences with any particular make! All the Best, Mark

Hi Guys I'm looking to buy a 10 year old 300ZX TT and wonder what advantages there are of getting a Jap spec import over a UK model. So far I've only come across negative aspects such as; more expensive to insure more expensive to buy spares as Nissan put on a surcharge 280 bhp as oppose to 300 bhp (what are the mechanical differences which cause this difference in power?) Cloth seats instead of leather Is the above true or have I been miss-informed? Imports do however, seem a bit cheaper to buy. Thanks Jon

is it just me or is the genral forum down again

Anyone know thw rating of the stock oil filter ? Anyone have other suggestions ? ie. are they 20 microns or 10 microns or finer ?

Hi all Anyone know where I can get my hands on one of these babies. Thanks Matt

Looks like a cheap way of installing a dump valve. Are there any reasons why this is not a good idea? What pressure do they release at/is any Z dump valve useable like this? Thinking of doing this myself...

...without starting a war.. Anyone know what happened to SE's website? http://www.se-nissan.com seems to have gone back to a host holding page.. And all I wanted to do was stare at the pictures and go 'Now if I had £400 spare..' ------------------ GZ.

Right Duffer,all I have had from you the last month is,my flywheel bolts have not come from GPS,sob/winge/bitch/hissss! Well they have now been at GPS for the last two weeks,along with your decatt pipes,so cut the bullshite/winge and bitching and go get the things FFS! I DONT KNOW SOME PEOPLE WERE JUST BORN TO WINGE LMFAO ------------------ KEEP IT SIDEWAYS!

After being messed out with a few times with prospective buyers changing thier minds, I have decided to keep my pride and joy. Just for info:- the main thing that has been putting people off my car is the mileage. But thats ok. I met up with Jaylox on Tuesday and he couldn't belive how smooth the engine ran. Besides, I have just spent over a grand in servicing and mods in the past few weeks and will be spending another grand in the coming months on bits and bobs. I dont mind driving a 120k mile Z. But I do have a message for all you people out there looking to buy a Z. "You gets, what ya' pay for!" THE "FOR SALE" SIGN IS WELL AND TRULY GONE! ......... …

Who else thinks its ugly and slow? Cant see how they reckon it relates to the original 240Z. And look at the nose - not a patch on the Z32. Perhaps I`m talking crap and its just me. I`ve tried to like it but it looks like a wide-mouth Billy Bass Dodge to me.

stainless braided for sale, set of four i.e set for 300zxTT (Z32), never got round to putting lines on so have to sell 'em, still in original packet not been opened, purchased from the 'Z center'. Would like £45 delivered to your door..... cheers.......
