£10 plus carriage. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John (Nukem) Newcomb www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

Hi, Just fitted new toplink to drivers side, and when I got back to the 'wheel on' stage - gave it a good yank to test - OK vertical movement is now fixed - but now I notice there is some horizontal 'give'. If I place my hands either side of the wheel in line with the axle and push/pull there is about quarter of an inch total 'give'! Seems to be in the direction of the steering arm! Left side is OK. Is this a bush thing - or a steering arm adjustment/replacement thing? HELP! AndyGP

I know its all down to personal taste but could anyone love a car with a face like that?? notice the perspex window in the bonnet so you can feast your eyes on that throbbing 8 valve cavalier engine lurking in there Paul

when i start my 300tt from cold it dosent smoke .But when it idles after about 5mins after starting the left exhaust starts to smoke light blue smoke quiet heavy.Some times its smokes from the right exhaust it dosent smoke under full throttle so its not the turbos and it dosent use any oil or water.If any one has an idea please let me know cheers Spencer

reasonable condition, with tyres. from what i can remember, 2 rears about 1/2 worn or so, fronts scrubbed on outer edges. would have to check to be sure tho. £125 buyer collects ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

May be of use if anyone wants a cheapie to put on, bit rusty around the centre box to back box joints but hole free!! £50 if its anygood to anyone, buyer collects. ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

posted a while back about my zed holding back under acceleration. just thought id share incase anyones got similar probs. reset adaptation data with consult (i believe you can do this by disconnecting ecu for a while), all actual values had checked out ok. also cleaned afm hotwire with electrical cleaner. seems to be performing as before now. apart from the lovely tone from my shiney new Mongoose exhaust. ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

Hi guys, I am thinking of buying a set of Radius R6 alloy wheels for my SWB,in 19s. It will be 8x19 for the fronts,9x19 for the rears. They don't come any bigger in width than 9 inches. They said they will do me a package with the TOYO proxes T1-S (as i wanted TOYO): 235/35/19 (front) and 265/30/19 (rears). Is this the right size of rubber for these wheels? Any suggestion/help will be appreciated as I am ordering them on Monday. By the way I have been quoted £1580 (inc.Shipping). Cheerz "AMMAR"

Need to get an alternator repaired/rewound (or whatever it takes). Any recomendations in the Herts/Essex area ? Not off my Zed, it's for an MR2 Turbo.

Mate of mine has a 300ZX and its a bit poorly. Sounds like the fuelling is way off and its running way too rich. Can anyone give me some pointers of someone who knows these cars and could sort it for him. Thanks AllanB

Pulling off hard in 1st gear its fine, 2nd gear not noticed anything, but in 3rd I get to about 4000-5000 revs then its shoots up an extra 500-750 revs then slowly goes back down to where it was then carries on accelerating. Iain said it sounds like its something on the clutch that is causing the slip. I agree but its happens every time I do it. I would have thought that the thing that is causing it to slip would burn off with the heat and friciton. What you think? Could my clutch need bleeding, or adjusting? Or is it looking like a new clutch? Stuart

Anyone help with suggestions, all im after is something that will fit in the boot, that I can remove easily and that is amplified. ------------------

Basicallt, would the engine (block and head) fit into a manually geared car? I assume that I'd need the flywheel from the manual engine and fit this to the auto block or sommat? ...help !

Anyone know of a quick & easy way to disable the reversing chimes on a J import? ------------------

Just a quicky. Along the drivers side plenum chamber there is two thin metal tubes with rubber pipes going to the throttle body (just behind the butterfly valves) and somewhere else. Whilst cleaning (much needed) the throttle bodies I took the little pipe that goes down to the drivers side intake pipe and also the other little pipe off. Trouble is I can't remember which pipe goes to which tube. Can someone please have a quick look and let me know. Doesn't seem to make any difference in running either way round.

Do you remeber a few months ago some people got threatening e-mails after offering help to another member on the forum, and then we started getting e-mails from rape sites and child porn sites. Well I am now sick of getting these because my children use the computer every day and my son of 14 found some of these perverted things AGAIN. So can the brave CU*T who thought it might be a laugh to put others names down for this shit come forward, or are you still going to hide behind your face full of shit that you use to be nice to others when really all you are is a useless piece of cowardly perverted rotting flesh. Because if and when I find out who you are, I…

Ok i noticed the other day when i put me foot down (not always to the floor) thers a slight noice coming from the car a bit like a whistly or vibe ?? , tonite she did it for a little longer than usual , normally only lasts a quick secong but tonite about 3 secs ? sounds like coming from back drivers side of car ? what could it be the car seems to be running sweet enough ?? ------------------

Ive got a stillen induction Kit, Mongoose system , the Z is decatted , and its had the ecu upgrade , shes running at 420BHP and is boosting at 15 psi safely ------------------

Hey Craig and Nico, Why don't you arrange a special weekend post, only viewable between 8pm and 3am weekends. We can't do it to his face cos he'll just kick our heads in! LOL Mark

Any one know who's it is? I was told that there has been one near the Golborne round-a-bout for about 4 days abandoned at the side of the road. Any one know anything about it? Stuart

So what are you guys getting with your modded high BHP motors ? Obviously this vastly depends on whether you boot it all the time or drive slower (often traffic dictates this)... So any data ?? Stock TT cars do from ~18 to 25. So what's the range for high BHP (>450) cars ?

Ps Is the fuel pump from the SWB jap spec the same unit as the UK car?? Cheers Roy

Thanks to Jeff TT and Brian Corish for their help today on the phone. After organising babysitters and spending ove 1500 euro on the Z last week getting her(91UK TT with 95K on the clock) ready for holiday to barcelona and south of France, its left me down again, (Tyres, water pump, timing belt, fan belt, fan clutch, new fan shroud, front silicone bush units done last week) Drove 100 miles of the 2200 I was about to do to the Ferry in Roslare to Roscoff. Just before getting to the ferry the Auto Box seemed to be slipping. i.e. when flooring or overtaking she was not redlining ie struggling once at 5500 revs and from then on only creeping up and never kicking dow…
