"Car" October issue has a good review of the 350Z and a couple of pages on our good old 300ZX TT - a nice yellow one with a mention of thanks to SE Nissan. Is it owned by anyone here? Reg. B1 EXY Worth a read. [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 07-09-2002).]

1. If the proposed club was accepted by insurers to keep insurance down, everyone would join ! 2. How about designing/making a rear spoiler which can flip up or down, like pop-up headlights - maybe you could use the p u headlight motors from a 200SX to do it. 3. Can a 300ZX Z32 be modified so that the engine can run at higher revs than ~7,000 - like Honda engines and Ferrari's etc. do ? 4. IS there any way to modify your engine so that you can switch between economy and sports/performance mode ? 5. If you lighten the flywheel only on the outsdie, does that make all the good things about this mod far greater than the downsides ? What about making the in…

Hi, Just wanted to know if anyone has a cheap source of NA air filters, and yes they are different from the turbo. Have bought some patten ones but they are three mill too thick, and the panels won't go back on!!!!! All the Best, Mark

Hi, On the NA motor I took it for an MOT, passed fine, but on the emmisions test, the drivers bank of cylinders was running at .70% CO levels and the passenger bank at .19% CO. Is putting a NA ECU into self diagnostic mode the same as a TT, and does anyone have an idea as to what it might be causing the probs? Mark

Hello Mate, Meet ya at the Birmingham meet,just wondered if you can do me a favour and bring an extra couple of cans of Castrol 10-60 with you to trax. If you can that would be great, me mobile number is 0777 337 5383! All the Best, Mark H

Ive just imported a set of 18" Enkei Phelanx alloys from the US. 8x18 front and 10x18 rears. They arrived yesterday and look brilliant! But before i put them on the car is there any kind of polish or sealant i can use on them that will help prevent brakedust and crap gathering on them and make them easier to clean in the future? Also i need tyres, is 225/40 18 on the front and 275/35 18 on the rears correct, and what makes are recommended?

Wondering if you got my mail Re: fan clutch and upper rad shroud unit Roy

hi, running AMTECH traction control if so what do you think of it,, going to need it soon winters nearly here and my right foots made of lead!! or is everyone using racelogic! --cheers-- --neil-- ------------------

Still a fair bit of work to do... Bonnet Bulge/Vent looking good, you can just see one of the bigger intercoolers on the drivers side. Upgraded headlights and Blitz Induction Kit to fit before the Scarab front goes on. Side skirts and wide arches have blended together very nicely - well happy [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 07-09-2002).]

hey guys, i need some advise on moddin my 300ZX. its a 1990 twin turbo auto uk spec its standard at the mo appart from ebc turbo groove discs all round and green stuff pads. it will soon have a full mongoose system, the next thing i will be lookin at is a induction kit. but i dont know what to go for, and what to do after that. ive been told not to chip the car as i will not be able to add on any boost controllers or anything like that on to the car after as the uprated chips dont be re-programmable. is this true??? I NEED HELP!!!, tell me what mods i should go for that will give me a quick 0-60 and mid range torque. im not fussed about top ends. tha…

Breaks my heart, but the car has to go - I am leaving the country. Car is unmodified UK spec, red, auto, 2+2 TT, 94K, black leather, MOT 'til May, FSH, great wheels, tyres not bad, new discs and pads all round, new battery, autobox replaced by Nissan (with box from 94 car), etc. Asking only £4,250 for a quick sale. Biggest drawback is that I am in Aberdeen at the moment, but if the car doesn't sell via Autotrader in the next fortnight, it will be offered from the midlands.
