Hallo m8y peeps. Now I know that no-one here is a jerk so quite clearly none of us would ever get involved in something like this. Had me in stitches, tho - just waiting for the right opportunity! Allegedly true story from someone else, follows: ---------------------------------------- Subject: FW: JERK! Now get this. I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?" I politely said, "This is Patrick Hanifin and could I please speak to Robin Carter?" Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me! I couldn't believe that anyone could be that rude. I tra…

Hi Mac. Im told you just got a new battery for your Z.£35 or so ? Where did you get it ? Thanks Nick ------------------

Guys I have been thinking that it would be much better to replace the temperature sensor plug instead of cleaning it. Mike Feeney can get 280ZX injector plugs which probably fit for 7.50 plus vat or I found this website with a quick release version http://www.racetep.com/injcon.html Has anyone used a 280ZX injector plug to replace the temp sensor plug? If so how did it go?

So where do you all recomend this sort of work gets carried out? Also what sort of prices should i be paying? I guess a decent manual box with all kit would be about 700 bar but what sort of labour cost and timescale should i expect? Also surely the diff is different so how would this affect the car and also the vacuum lines coming off the balance bar are different on an auto than a manual as are the turbos and cams which i understand are set up for low-mid-range torque on an auto. Also if i change the box i can still only run 14.5 psi (1 bar) safely so i might aswell change the turbos hadent i? God knows im confusing myself now! PLEASE I NEED HELP! …

getting along with my gearbox conversion nicely now, but one question.... Exactly what do I have to do on the electrical side of things? I've got hold of the correct alternator harness and will be fitting that tonight. As far as I can tell, some work needs doing do that the reverse lights show, and some thing to do with the clutch. Anyone any ideas? Cheers. ------------------ 'I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather and not like his passengers....'

Met Timmy Turbo (& his wife), Scoops (& his mate in a V6 Calibra) & FASTREDZ in Wrexham on saturday. There were also 2 other guys who I don't know. Weather was crap so we had a pint and a meal, then headed back home !! Timmy & his wife kindly bought everyone a drink ! Nice couple !

A guy goes into a butchers and aproaches the counter. As he reaches the counter he says to the butcher 'i'll have 5 pound of kiddlees please!' The butcher looks puzzled and says 'excuse me' The man replies again '5 pound of kiddees please' Again the butcher cannot understand the now bemused customer. The man says ' RIGHT! LISTEN TO ME! I BLOODY WANT FIVE POUND OF KIDDLEES!!!' The butcher replies 'OH!!! im ever so sorry you mean KIDNEYS? The angry man replies 'THATS WHAT I BLOODY SAID DIDDLE I !!!??' I know, i know bloody stupid but i thought it was funny!!! LUKE DUKESTER ------------------

Hi, I'm just wondering how difficult/what's involved in removing the intake manifold for cleaning/polishing? Thanks Vijay

does anyone know if you can get metal targa tops or is it just the glass ones? thanks Paul

Have any of you de-catters got a pair of cat heat shields and brackets you don't need any more?

I quite like the look of the 99 model Jap bumper does anyone know if it is a straight replacement for the earlier models. Also has anyone fitted it and has pictures in their rides section. I would order one from Luke at the Z centre but it is probably going to be expensive to ship to Guernsey. Can they be ordered via the local Nissan agent and if so what is the part number for the bumper and the new indicators required for the bumper. Is there anything else I need to Know?

Wahey - finally!!! After months of roaming the country in search of my future Zed I have found just what I was after.. 94 M, manual, Silver, Brand new alloys, chipped, dump-valves, HKS everything and huge sound system!!! The bloke I bought it off has had 3 Zed's before and seems to know his stuff - it's been really well looked after and runs sweet as a nut. Took me on a test drive and as soon as I got pinned to my seat and listened to the thing hiss and growl its way down the road I had to have it. The only thing wrong with it is the usual dodgy rear spoiler - why did Nissan use foam or whatever that crap is? Going to replace it with a highe…
