Thanks to Luke at the Z centre for sending me more pics of the 99 spec front bumper, it actually looks quite cool!!! Although I went on the Stillen website yesterday and saw their front bumpers - hmmmmmmmm, tough choice now

Need a bit of help guys with my Jap 91 300zxtt..... bit of a wierd one though. The first start of the day is fine and she ticks over quite nicely, as soon as you go to pull away there's a drop in revs and a reluctance to accellerate and move up a gear through the auto box. After about a minute everythings running ok but..... if you brake quite heavily especially up a hill, the engine splutters and dies. Starts again no problem and off i go, with a little embarassing glow to my face. The braking scenario can happen at anytime whether the engine is hot or cold. The rest of the time she runs sweeter than a Tate & Lyle Lorry. Spooky? Any ideas guys?

I have got a 300ZXTT engine for sale out od a 91 model. The car was a right off, and i bought it for the box and the turbos. The cam cover is broke in a couple places, in the sump has a couple dents in it. It was my mates car and he had the engine rebuilt 12 months ago (ring, shells, decoke). I am open to offers

while sat at pps,his zed has decided it dont want to leave the car turns over and tries to ignite but but decides against starting we tried a replacement PTU with a new one,but it made no difference battery is fully charged plenty of fuel in tank doesnt seem like there is a fuel block or faulty pump as you can smell fuel after the car has been turned over a few times all fuses have been checked and look ok any ideas or help is appreciated

I have had a legal copy of Windows XP installed on my computer for a few months now. First of all, no Java working with IE6 because of legal issues this has been fixed in the 160mb Service Pack1, but now half of web pages dont work with ACTION CANCELED displaying where menus should be. This is not a Windows Explorer thing. I have installed Netscape and Opera to try and fix it, and it still shows ACTION CANCELED in the same places. 2nd I couldnt install the IE6 patch becuase I get an error every time I tried to run it. EVERY game I have drops to the desk top after about 20mins, even though I have certified drivers for all the major hardware, Motherboads, USB, Graphics…

Iain has fixed his AFM but just out of interest I rang my local Nelson for a price after getting the part number from the Courtesy Fiche. Just incase anyone wants the details... Mass Air Flow Meter P/N: 22680-30P00 0789- VG30DTT So Big Mac being the King of Discount with his local dealer was quoted 380 all in. Take into account that Mike Feeney at MJP quoted off the top of his head on Sunday at Trax 500 squids. My local Nelson give me 418 inc. vat. Not quite 500 though eh Mike??? Anyway, I mailed Courtesy this afternoon and would you Adam and Eve it??? FFS...read this... Greetings, I do show to have in stock. You may refer t…

Just to let eberyone know that I started dismantling another 300ZX a couple of weeks ago, so most parts are available. I'm hoping to start a restoration of a 300ZX over the next couple of months, so I might actually be asking for a couple of parts soon. I hope people give me as good a deal as I give everybody else :-) AndyZ (01634 221783 or geewhizz@onetel.net.uk)

ok, i know its been asked like a 1000 times before, but what do you think?? i know about the risk to the turbo seals. how many have gutted the existing cats?? whats the performance increase like?? is it worth it has anyone done it on a post 92 (mot cat test) car & checked emissions?? are they still within limits?? getting me new mongoose next week & thinking about it now, what do you all think?? cheerz Paul ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

I have this problem, I buy an engine, hear it running %100, take it out and fit my clutch and fly wheel, put it in my car and change the oil cooler, and within about 100-200 miles it is knocking like a bast**d. In both cases all the parts were swoped with the engine, The only parts carried across to each engine, is my flywheel and my clutch. What is happening to these engines???? Any ideas!

Just got ny car back from Nissan last night. After changing Water pump and timing belt due to bad water leak from pump. Took car out for spin and it started to overheat after apprx 30 miles. Went back to nissan today and they said it was down on coolant so topped it back up and took it for a run. There is no sign of any leakage and they finally said there must have been an air blockage in the coolant system whch ment they didnt put enough coolant in yesterday. Could the problem have been as simple as this or is there some other reasonwhy the Z overheats. They said head gasket seemed fine so that was thankfully ruled out as the cause. Cheers Ro…

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! nice saving of £380 ------------------ KEEP IT SIDEWAYS;).

I'd like to recommend the parts dept at Nissan Widnes for an excellent service. I've spent more cash than i'd like to think about there over the last year getting me Z sorted. They gave me a discount, and to top it all off I walked in there today asking for an oil filter. They gave it to me, and said have it on the house?!?! Jeepers, how much have i spent?!!? Oh, I also got a crimbo card off them for being the largest spending private buyer!
