Hi -Nissan 300 Twin Turbo, 1991, Red -UK car, manual, T roof -HPi clear (certificate to prove) -Full Zeemax bodykit, looks gorgeous -Fully adjustable shocks all round -HKS electronic boost controller -Blitz air filter -16" alloys in good con., similar to TSW Hocks -New Front discs -**£5000 spent on recon engine/turbo's last year, receipts to prove** -Handbooks, Nissan manuals -Some old MOT's -Remote central locking alarm/immobiliser -109k in total but around 10k on recon engine The car starts and drives perfectly, brakes are fine, gearbox is smooth, makes no bad noises or blows any smoke. However, there are coolant/air/possib…

I've reduced the price for a quick sale. But i'm not going a penny lower. Black UK car Manual 385BHP(on normal unleaded) 68K (Mileage certification) HPI clear New Engine/Gearbox/Turbos etc @ 54K(reciepted by Nissan). Mail me for full details.

Bought my Z just over a week ago and i reckon a turbo is nackered. The boost gauge reads like they're fine (hits 9.5psi nicely) but im assuming the boost is read from the side which has an OK turbo. Just wondering how much this is gunna cost, im basically gunna get it done then sell the car. If i dont get it done it'll be unsellable. I reckon i get near to 10mpg which i just cant afford being 19 and earning no more than your average tramp. Thanks Rob

Plug and play speed delimiter. OIRO £65 Tim [This message has been edited by TT Tim (edited 13-09-2002).]

Just visited a Japenese performance importer in Newbury because he has a 300 (along with 170mph Supras, Skylines, GTiR's and every Mitsu under the sun). Its 'H' reg, dark blue, 50k miles, 2+2, blue full leather, TT, excellent condition, full history, full documents and all this at £5995. I'm put off by the auto box..but I was still well impressed with its performance (I've not been in a manual yet.) Failing that he can import a 300 to my own spec' and would expect a wait of about 3 months. Should I wait for him to find me a manual? ------------------ Rik

Have you ever wondered about people who say that they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100% How about achieving 103%? Here's a little bit of arithmetic which might prove helpful: If alphabetical letters are represented by their numerical sequence: A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F=6 G=7 H=8 I=9 J=10 K=11 L=12 M=13 N=14 O=15 P=16 Q=17 R=18 S=19 T=20 U=21 V=22 W=23 X=24 Y=25 Z=26 Then as percentages-> Hard work becomes: 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% Knowledge becomes: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% Attitude becomes: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% and BULLSHIT becomes: …

Hi Guys, my neighbour's got a flat battery. I was just going over to help her but I seem to remember that using a Z to jump start risks frying my ECU. Is this true or am I just being paranoid?

Hi all Was standing talking to Colin at Trax and he mentioned there's some sort of minor gathering of zed's planned for this weekend at santa pod.. is anybody else going?

So what did everybody think.. I was around from early morning up till early afternoon.. with girl though, so she got bored v.quick! Bought her a mug with her Puma on though! Impressed with the skyline turnout, starting to warm to the Skyline R34, but the price tag is a good put-off! Got a good deal on my EBC pads and discs as well..

Over the last 12 months my oil pressure has been steadily getting worse. She's done a lot of miles 170k but I had a steady 65-70 psia at 3000 rpm. Now I'm lucky if I 45 psi. In still get 25-30 psia at idle though. Any ideas. If the worst comes to the worst, does the engine have to come out to change the oil pump?

I've stopped doing the 'spotted' thing but had to say this. Just cant believe it - more zeds than 318's or so it seems around 'my way'. I know of two white zeds both within a mile of me and blow me I see silver one this morning. That on top of a spotted on friday, black one , reg - 'CYA ***' going across Itchen toll bridge. As before I doubt if it is anyone on here. Maybe the presence of seeing mine around has inspired others to follow into the zed brigade?. CYA

Hi All, I had a replacement fuel filler pipe fitted over the weekend as mine tended to jettison my fuel while cornering/braking. My Q is this, should there be pressure/vacuum in the tank?? I'm not sure which it is, pressure I think - I get a hiss when I take the cap off. The car seems to be running fine (20 mile trip with no probs), the spring loaded trap was actually missing from my old pipe, I didn't used to get any kind of hiss. Which is correct - hiss or no hiss?? Cheers! RobH

First of all it was good to meet you all at TRAX unfortunately I had to leave the car at the gate because the clutch let go. Anyhow, I finally got home ok, but I how need to get a new clutch this week. What, how much and where from? Any advice appreciated. David [This message has been edited by TVC15 (edited 09-09-2002).]
