It was a joyful experience. We played tick for about 10 miles, he turned off down the Ripley turn off andI was heading for the Alfreton turn off where I got stuck in 30 mins of stand still traffic cus somebody decided that they wanted to jump of the bridge. Apparently it took the police nearly 3 hours to get him/her down. What struck me as funny was the fact that I got chatting to the drivers of the cars/trucks around me and we were being very pleasant to one another. However, normally, if any of these people were to cut us up, we wouldn't think twice obout giving them the finger. Or maybe thats just me! Anyway, anyone off here?

Hello, what extra will I have to pay for importing a bodykit from the USA ie tax rate and duty etc.

My day for spotting Z's when mine is stuck @ SE. 1) Maldon High street around 12:00. Maroon import with modded exaust. Seen this one around a bit could be a local? 2) Bypass near Springfield in Chelmsford @ 13:30, Silver G plate Z. I was in my Red S13 and slowed especialy for a look over. Z look standard from my brief glimpse. ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk brave-orchid.co.uk Eddie's Ride

Hello mate, Can you just let me know when you receive your Trax ticket. Cheers Vijay

Quite right m8ey (1) - at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half-an-hour! Quite right m8ey (2) - restraint, respect, moderation. Quite right m8ey (3) - good lock down, craig. More respect. Lastly, there used to be a pub opposite Honda Europe in Caversham called the "Moderation" - so you could have said, yes dear, I am going out drinking with the mates tonight but only in moderation... - Gio

I floored it this afternoon to get away from a prat in a Nova that was tailgating me. He soon disappeared, problem is it was in a cloud of white/light grey smoke that came from my exhaust rather that into the distance. Any ideas. It's panic time. On the funny side, you should have seen his facxe when the smoke cleared It wasn't the usual early morning smoke that you get on damp days because I has already done about 20 miles. I floored it again about 5 minutes later without any smoke. There is no smoke when idling. I'm currently stuck in safety boost I know the cat has collapsed. Perhaps I'm clutching at straws, but could it have been a cloud of the ca…

Hallo assembled gurus. I'm just checking in advance of a service because the J imports have a slightly different schedule to the UK cars (something to do with miles vs km). Since I bought my Z in Aug 99, I've had the following service intervals: 44,000mi 71,300km A service Aug 99 (incs timing belt) 51,500mi 82,700km C service Feb 00 56,500mi 91,000km C service Jun 00 (mistake but there you go) (incs spark plugs) 62,000mi 100,000km A service Dec 00 67,300mi 108,000km B service May 01 72,700mi 117,000km A service Nov 01 79,000mi 126,700km C service Apr 02 next scheduled is 85,000mi 137,000km which should be the official 140,000km service. …

Was looking in my relay housing & noticed a relay was missing. Radiator fan SUB relay. On a '90 TT. Is that normal? Or should it really be there? ------------------

I am After getting a new exhaust for my non turbo 300zx,,because it is a 1990 is it true that you can do away with the cat?? Is the gas sensor before the cat/in the cat /after the cat? And could any body tell me what the 2 pipes that go into the exhaust just before the cat are for,,,they go on from either side and look like they come from the engine,,,,i take it i would have to get an exhaust that had inlets for these unknown pipes. I cant get cat back exhausts because there is a small hole just before the cat :-(( Could i just cut the cat out and replace it with a straight through pipe and keep the existing exhausts? cheers guys [This message has be…

Ok, probably gonna get some really witty remarks on this one... Any time the speed goes over 105 kph, a little gong goes off, and keeps going until speed drops below 105 again. Anyone have any ideas what it is? And how I stop/adjust it? ------------------

Does anyone know where I can find more pictures of Andy E's pearl white monster 300zx? Cheers Vijay

From time to time, some sick perve sends people here porn spam. Since I changed to Outlook (sorry) I get mountains of complete spam from tiresome no-brains (no I don't want to join a program, rip DVDs or see "stuff". Your mortgage rates in the US are cr*p, my parts are quite big enough for me and the missus, thank you and on the rare occasions where the opportunity arises, my performance is alarmingly adequate (assuming I haven't got to the third bottle of Nuits St Wogga Wogga)). If you're as fed up as I am, you might like to visit www.mailwasher.com (which gets 5 stars from .net mag) or www.cloudmark.com for their SpamNet blacklist stuff (4 stars). I par…

hi guys, just wondering if i could use WD40? or do i need the proper stuff? cheers jaz

Went for a drive and my conclusion is..... The back end is really squdgy. The front is now tight and I think that the ride is smoother. May have been that the original bushes where that bad. The responce from the wheel is much much faster and more precise. But not the back end feels really bad, lagging behind round corners. Did any one else find that too? Also any one know how much to a rear set of polly bushes will be and how much for some one to put on? Stuart

What does everyone think of the HICAS 4 wheel steer system, have heard that it's supposed to be good after a while. Can the car run porpperly with it off? How much of a job is it to put back on?

Anyone got any ideas? last place i went to couldn't find them!

All information below is my account of having a policy with the Insurance Factory My Z is a 1991 Twin Turbo 2+2 import Following recommendation from people on here I contact Gareth at the Insurance Factory. (NOTE - is was my decision to take a policy with Insurance Factory - hence I place no blame on anyone here or 300zx.co.uk) I ask for a classic "second car policy" like the type Glen(Senna) got. Told that is fine and that as its a classic car policy my 5 years No Claims can stay on my second car. I pay my £180 deposit and arrange to pay £71 per month.
