But having read some of today's posts, I have to go for a vote : WHO IS THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON ON THE FORUM ? I'm going for Banzai followed by AY666 (or whatever his name is). Banzai has to win though because I have to admit to agreeing with one or two of AY's posts ! Dave P.S. How far is this thread gonna go before closure

I am looking for a LHD 2+2 TT, is anyone looking to sell one? Would consider 2 seater or NA but really want a 2+2 TT.

Hallo peeps - this is one of those questions which I've been meaning to ask for ages. Prompted by another thread http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/ubbforum/Forum1/HTML/008950.html from civic which mentions that his speedo needle takes a long time to come back down. So does mine - it always has. No I haven't had any converter added (just a new mph face sticker on the OEM kph clocks). You can be thrashing along merrily at an indicated "lots", come up to a lower speed limit, brake and/or trail the throttle. The revs dip and dip but the speedo needle seems glued to the speed you were doing before you lifted off. After what seems like an age, it lazily drifts back down.…

hi guys having a new bodykit fitted to the z in a couple of weeks time, so i will have a front & rear uk spec bumpers in red off my 1990 tt. they r in good condition, also a standard airbox filter & 1990 uk spec auto tt ecu available. cheers guys. dewi ap.

I have been looking for a place which can check the body alignment of my Z. We've had a full laser 4 wheel alignment done after the installation of a new HICAS bit. But the camber on one of the wheels is a tad (more than a gnat's but less than a lot) out. So we need to check the chassis alignment. I've been told I need to find a digital measuring jig (to be found at a big modern bodyshop) but tracking one of these down is not easy. The local Nelson gave me their three bodyshops but not one of them could do this. NMGB had no list / no idea / no interest. My local corrugated iron & portakabin bodyshop said "yes we'll do it on our jig to within 2mm" but t…

After nipping out in the Zed at lunchtime, I thought about upgrading the stock brakes - currently running standard discs and EBC greenstuff pads. The only kit I can find is the Tarox 330mm one for £1395ish - are there any other kits around that aren't quite as expensive? Any recommendations/help? Ta

Hi All, Checked my coolant level for the first time in a while yesterday. Needed about 1/2 litre to top it up and the cap/neck had lovely orange mush on/around it. The rad was drained and flushed about 5K ago when the timing belt was done. No sign of external leakage, no overheating (if the gauge can be trusted) Is something a bit leaky internally?? Think it was Jaylox who said he had to top up regularly, is your coolant clean J?? TIA! RobH

Finally after 4 weeks of trying to see this damn Zed every weekend, un-returned calls, unfulfilled promises and general lying I have given up. It might be a nice car but I can't stand people pissing you about. If you don't want to sell it - say it. Don't just keep them hanging on, waiting to see it whilst you make up ANOTHER excuse. This awards for you Andyd - Timewaster of the year - take a bow!! sorry, but since my motorbike (2 months old) got nicked last week aswell (what was that topic "can't have nice things"?)I guess i'm not in the best of moods. On a lighter (but increasingly commonplace)note, anyone got / know of / ever seen or heard of a l…

Apropos of nothing, who makes the turbo's in the ZX.. they're not garrett are they? Also, what's the big deal with HKS baring turbo's.. are they that good? ------------------ nIx lnicholls@asylum101.com

Does anybody else with an Auto have a really annoying rattle when accelerating hard from the little plastic bit around the gear selector? If not how do I fix the damn thing!! ------------------ nIx lnicholls@asylum101.com

I need a cooling fan viscous drive for a 91 UK TT auto. Any help appreciated

A minor (but annoying problem): As soon as I turn on the ignition (NOT start the engine even), I get a rattly buzzy sound from the courtesy light cluster above my head. It continues once the engine's on too, and basically it only shuts up when the ignition is off. What can it be? The climate control is off completely, btw. I don't understand why anything should be making a noise when nothing is running :/ Anyone got any ideas? It seems minor, but it's pretty damned annoying (especially when your desk at work is right next to a fish tank that makes a similar noise).

The passenger seat electrics on my Zed don't appear to work at all, meaning no movement of the seat at all. Is there any way of fault finding? loose connections, buggered motors etc? Any common problems that might be the cause? also, I've got bad wear patches on the side bolsters of the drivers and passengers seats - anyone know if individual leather panels can be replaced? Ta!!

Just found some nice 18s to fit my car but the front ones are 8.5 wide with the right offset (+35), but the rear ones are 9.5 wide but have an offset of either 35 or 45, not 42 like it i am led to believe it should be. Will this matter, what exactly does the offset bit measure.

No, this isn't about Grannys and sex but instead a request for info on where I might be best looking for some new bushes - HICAS and front tension rod. I could do with a full set really though. Nissan wouldn't talk to me on the phone cos it's an import (I have to go in and have the chassis number photo'ed before they'll look anything up), and I can't get through to MJP at the moment... BTW, tried using the seach thingy, but it wasn't working Thanks dudes, -Stu

.......so here's something to cheer everyone up Don't Fart in Bed This is a story about a couple who had been happily married for years. The only friction in their marriage was the husband's habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke. The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and make her gasp for air. Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor; she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out. The years went by and he continued …
