Have to clear out my garage of 300zx leftovers and stuff that is cluttering up my Nissan dealers workshop. Offers on the following as I have no space to keep them. Water Pump. Ignition Coils. Cambelt Tensioner. Exhaust Manifolds (pair). Standard Intercoolers (pair). PTU. I can supply pictures of them if you want. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

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?

Hello to the three Zds in convoy yesterday on the m1,it was good to see.From what i saw you showed great controll speed wise as for myself i cant help my self i have to tram,but it was my two boys (9 & 8)who spotted you to there great delight,they realy loved the lead one with the body kit. I was on the way to Santa Pod in my Z where i also saw a grey/black one as well,any one here? seya Chas.

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).]

I need a decent alarm lads Cat 1 ? are they the best i need to get 1 fast ans fitted ASAP so plz help lads Dont mind how much as long as its not a rip off i dont mind spending around 3 to 4 hundred quid if its good plz respond asap plz lads

Did anyone see the HKS decorated Skyline R34 that apparently did 0-60 in just over 3 seconds? I'm sure he had a few mods under the bonnet (uprated air filter???.......), but could one of those things really go that fast? To be honest most of the times seemed a little optimisitc, although maybe I'm being a harsh as it's hard to tell exactly how modifed each car is. I still think I should have hauled my (standard)Z out of the car park and recorded a 4 second time though.........

New in the boxes. Dimpled and slotted. I bought these but never put them on. Going to the first 100 quid including shipping. 80 quid for anyone who picks them up from me in London or possibly the Slough meet.

First of all, sorry to everyone who came from the M1, as my directions were out (only slihtly though!!!) Good to meet new faces at last, quite a good turnout, shame there wasn't more in the way of trade stands for Jap cars - it was all neon washer jets and Corsa front bumpers. Still not a bad show though.

I've got an SE Nissan Monza nosecone, and it's just far too low for me, so does anyone have another front bumper (Scarab/Stillen etc that they would swap + a bit of cash? alternatively, if anyone is selling an aftermarked front bumper, can they let me know.
