Just received this email today; Thank you for registering your interest in the new Nissan Z car. As promised, here is our first update on its arrival in the UK. And it's a significant one too. Speaking at the Japanese Z launch, our chairman Carlos Ghosn put an end to all the speculation by announcing that the Z car will definitely be coming to Europe in 2003 - although he didn't specify an exact date. Of course, as soon as the official UK launch date has been decided, we'll be in touch again. In the meantime, if you're in need of a little dose of Z (just to keep you going) you can always return to our dedicated website at http://ecos.e-…

Hi, Anyone recommend anyone in Scotland for some engine work for my Zed? - Colin

Who has one of them fitted and are they better than single cones? Want to swap mine but not sure about which one to go for. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John Newcomb (NukeEm) www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

Is there a UK equivalent of Courtesy Nissan? I have enquired about a couple of parts but they don't seem to be able to get hold of them for right hand drive vehicles. There must be a site where you can browse all the parts like you can on this site.

Were you in MK a couple of weeks ago at the travel express inn near willen lake? Saw a Z almost exactly the same as yours pull in there one friday night.. I was being subjected to tacky harvester food by woman. ergh. Anyway, just curious!

My J-spec is still running with the original crap radio etc. Any recommendations on a good/cheap ICE provider for some decent sounds? I'm not looking to the car with kit!

Thats a big dfference. Of course I need lots of practice to lower my times. But I am not worrying much cause I am not a 1/4 mile racer. One good think now is that from a roll MANUAL its a killer.

Got a new piece of kit in which works well!, When your doors are opened or alarm is set off this will call your mobile and let you know!. Doesn`t stop there though, by using a personal code you can then tell the car what to do. How about flashing the brake lights and hazards or even cutting the fuel supply!!! Yep, your car gets nicked from under your nose and instead of waving bye-bye to your pride and joy, phone your car up and kill it! I have tried it and it works, not cheap, i can supply and fit them for £395.00.

Hey fellow Zeders. The Biting piont on my clutch was getting lower and lower until i could not get the car in gear. Had a little check myself but remembered i joined the AA so got the man out to have a look. He told me i have a leaking slave cylinder so i topped up with fluid and got the car home. Phoned my local Nelson and they are booked up til next week and sounded like they didn't have a clue about the 300zx, couldn't even give me an idea of the price. Does anybody know if its a big job and if i can trust any clutch specialist to do the job as i need the car as soon as poss. Cheers Tristan

Help What is the best type make etc to get? I dont want to go to mad but the standard one on mine looks cak and aint very clean so its time for a change. I have checked out the z centre but dont know which one would suit me! Jon

How do you know when the fuel pump is about to give up? There has been a low hum/whistle from the rear of the car previously which the mechanic said was from the fuel pump on top of fuel tank. This dissappeared but just came back louder than ever this evening sounds like hissing. Thought I had a puncture but no (Its bound to be something more expensive with a Z). The performance of the car remains unchanged. When you floor it the noise dissappears? Is this the end of the fuel pump? Help needed I'm driving to Spain next Week.

Tower only as i have the rest, doesn't have to be top of the tits. Just invoicing - this place & her ebay ££££ Graphics chip gone in the l/top = bye bye £1400, so dont put too many '0's on it harve

Hmmm..here goes. Recently my zed is beginning to feel real slow. Now I know my rear shocks need replacing and I'm thinking of upgrading ( standard Jap import auto). Hoping to get a mongoose, Blitz filter and a chip upgrade with Jeff very soon. What HP gains will I get from these mods and will it be noticeable with acco and mid range? Also apart from chip, safest and best way to get a little more boost without screwing the turbo's? Reason I say this is that the boost seems okay on stock gauge but that's not reliable as we all know, gearchange okay...but she just don't feel quick like she used to. Okay maybe used to it now after owning it 18 months but I got pissed w…

Hi guys & gals. I'm after some tyre advice. Pretty soon I'm going to have to replace all four tyres. I'm currently running Avons on the front (235/45 ZR17's) and Bridgestone's on the back (265/40 ZR17). I find the Avons very noisy, so wanted to replace all 4 with Bridgestone's, but I've been quoted over £630 which seems a bit steep. However, for just under £400 I can get a set of Fulda's. I understand these are re-branded Goodyears, but other than that I don't know about their reputation. Has anyone tried Fulda's? If not, any recommendation would be welcome. Cheers Paul

At santa pod the car didn't pick very well from takeoff, was 0.5sec slower getting to 60ft and 330ft than another auto 300zxtt that was less modified than mine. Thinking of reasons why it happened. Running it on 0.95bar until it is tuned. I held it on the brake at 2000rpm before getting away and I was using octane booster (too rich and therefore holding on 2000rpm flooded it and it kinda stalled on takeoff??) Other than that I can't think of a reason unless there is an engine problem? Ideas/Comments/suggestions? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

I've just read on an old thread on TT.net that the only real difference between the auto engine and the manual's are the intake cams.... hmmm...manual ECU....intake cams...instant 20hp??? Any thoughts?
