I have a problem with my manual box on my Zee - when trying to select 3rd gear, without using the clutch, it grinds? I have tried using mobil 1 synthetic gear box oil, but the problem still occurs. Does anyone else have this problem?

coming home from work 2day i booted it up the hill looked behind and there was loads and loads of smoke behind me on full boost, i know my rear engine oil seal has gone would this have caused it?? i have new turbo's fitted with double oil seals with a de=cat exhaust i think i have a hole in the exhaust by the turbo!!! im shitting myself not to be the turbo seals any help pleeeeeeeeese! cheers!

Can anybody make me up a set of import bulbs at cost? I've read simon's guide, only two small problems... I'm about as useful with that sort of stuff as a chocolate fireguard, and secondly, I don't have half the kit.. currently said bye bye to one headlamp bulb.. could do with some making up.. Anybody who can help or point me to somebody who sells them would be greatly appreciated. Gimme a bell on 07740092550. Cheers

Anybody know where the odometer gets its feed from? Mine has begun to work (or not work) erratically. Is it electrically or mechanically driven? Can't find anything in the manual about it ... Thanx for any advice Iffy

COME ON GUYS WHAT ARE THEY LIKE ?ANYGOOD?

I would just like to say a big thanks to the 300zx guys that have phoned me about the wellbeing and the concern of my five year old daughter, who is very ill and at the moment on a drip in a Lincolnshire hospital just wish I could change places with her! Thanks Guys. ------------------ [This message has been edited by MAC 1 (edited 05-08-2002).]

Heres the post I mentioned at Craigs: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17563&perpage=20&pagenumber=1 I made a mistake - the R34 444cc injectors can only fit the S13 it seems, see... http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17013 (shame, as R34 owners are selling 6 444cc's for about £150). Pic from HKS catalog (Note: Z32, SR20DET and RB25 injectors as having the same part no): In the SXOC injector thread they seem to think the 12a RX7's injectors would fit. But it looks like more investigation is needed. Trev

Hi guys If a TT has 280bhp standard, I assume thats withs cats? If so what is the bhp without cats (approx)? Also does fitting a stainless steel performance exhaust up the bhp much? Another query, I now have 17 inch alloys with 265/40 tyres, if I want to fit 18's, will this slow the cars acceleration, or just slowly bugger the transmission, mines a manual.

Sorry guys but going to do a oil change next week. What oil do people use here sorry. thanks jay

I know the ones that Johnny and Luke supply are going to take a while to get hold of as the manufacturer is moving premises. Anyone else do 'em? SE's are very expensive I've heard. Need them quick as having to put a new Zorst on to fit my new rear bumper

Does anyone want any? I've found a place in the states that can do them for $340 (around 220) a set. The delivery charge is $131.48 (around £85) which we maybe be able to split, plus import duty (normally around 20%). I'm looking to order within the next few weeks, so let me know. Vijay

No, I'm not going to do an Anne Robinson. Thanks to work (and a great deal of organisational fubar by the French, Germans, Italians, Welsh and bloody northerners - now can I insult anyone else?) I have been exiled to a windswept airfield outside St David's for the duration. In two days I have covered 538 miles as well as doing two long days setting up exhibition stands and babysitting engineers. Colnbrook, Cardiff, Pembroke, Eisteddfod, Cardiff again, Pembroke again and now back at the Eisteddfod look you bach. Zigzagging across sheepshagger country I remembered how much fun it is to boot it around sunny country lanes terrifying natives. So that's what wels…
