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.......

Anyone seen the new series of driven and think its utterly sh** as well? We were discussing it at work (like ya do) and can only conclude thats they've spoiled what was a decent programme. If I wanted to know what some scally thought about a motor I would go down my local, and as for the sumo challenge, what a load of crap. Bout time they had some proper motors on there!!! Roll on the new series of 5th gear where at least we might get to see the new 350!!!

It doesn't have to be in top nic. ;-) Cheers. harve

Thia ia a repost from tt.net. I need as much advice as possible. So here is the situation. There is going to be the biggest competition in my country 1/4 mile with proper time slips and everything. (Thats for first time). Thousand of people will attend and I will be the only guy with a 300ZX racing. There is going to be skylines, rx-7 etc etc. Today they informed me (actualy they confirm) that i will be racing against a 500Hp Supra. Therefore I will need some expert advice on the following. The event is after 2 weeks. I am stage III (Blitz induction kit, 2.5" BB triflo, and JWT ECU. currently running 14.5) Here is what i intend to do: CAR IS TWIN …

I tried Firebond .co.uk following a recommendation from this site. I got a quote on the net for a classic policy having declared my car as a Fairlady Z Twin Turbo. The price was £342.55. I phoned Firebond to check the cover and again told them it was an import. They reduced the premium to just over £300 as I was a member of Z club. I gave them my credit card which was authorised and was told that the cover note would be in the post tonight. About a half hour later I received a call from a manager saying that he had cancelled the policy as the car was an import. After some time arguing he confirmed that as the cover note had been issued, he would send …

Without kicking off another "To Modify or Not to Modify, That is the question" debate... I'm looking for a bit of advice on the replacement of the OE rear spoiler for something errmmm ALOT BIGGER!! My gaytex foam effort is peeling like a sun ripened fruit and doing the rest of my Silver Winged Beast From the East an injustice. Time for either: a) a respray - quoted around 200 quid to get re-primed and sorted. or b)New high level rear wing. Firstly, I want it all to look really good. No dodgy joins, no poking out over the rear in the wrong places and certainly nothing like the cardboard-tastic nasties sellotaped to the back of many a Citroen Saxo roun…

Sorry guys,`I hate to do it, but I am moving back to the US. So its time to sell the Zed. Ive never sold a car in the UK before. How does it work? Ok being a little more specific: 1. Where are the best places to advertise, Auto Trader, Loot, etc 2. What about insurance and test drives? My policy is named drivers only? 3. Is all I have to do to complete a sale to sign the back of that DVLA document? 4. Do I have to pay any taxes on the sale? Thanks

I use an Intellimouse Trackball and could not recommend it highly enough. You move around using one finger(index) and right/left click with your thumb. It takes a day or 2 to get used to it, but it's much more efficient. You can also still use an ordinary mouse as well after using it for a while. It's a bit like an auto box, only better !!

I am looking at buying a mechanical boost controller (Dawes). Firstly, does the Z have one or two wastegates and secondly, are mechanical boost controllers any good? At £40-£80 they are ceratinly cheap! Cheers

Anyone got a damaged or poor condition TT going at a reasonable price? Thinking of breaking one? DONT - let it live again - Im after a damaged or parts missing car for custom build project, would prefer engine to be pretty complete. Offer in relation to condition of car.

Hi All, I've been waiting for an oil change for months to replace the oil pressure sender too. As my mechanic was supposed to be doing my bushes last w/e I asked him to do that too. He says he can't find the sender(!?!?). I know some others have had trouble locating it - is it in a different place from the documented standard location on a 1990 Jap TT?? Thanks in advance! RobH

Are oil temp senders and oil temp gauges calibrated to work together or can any oil temp sender be used with a oil temp gauge? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John (Nukem) Newcomb www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

...how much the new(ish) Hyundai Coupe looks like the 350Z. Just been sat behind one in traffic and I have to say it is a pretty nice looking car. I heard something about a 2.7 V6 version a while ago - a poor man's Z perhaps?

What is the PTU? Is it the ignition module? If so if this were on the blink what would be the symptons and finally how much are they to buy? Ivan
