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…

Will soon be owning one of these monsters. What are they like to live with?

I've just swapped my very ropey Cosworth for a ropey UK 300 TT, manual lol. I preferred the zx's much more modern looks and felt that I'd rather spend money on the z than on the Cossy. Bit about meself - owned a fair performance bikes n cars -Porsche 944, Porsche 911 Carrera, Sapphire Cosworth, Impreza WRX, 300zx , Honda Fireblade, GSXR750WT, ZX9R (which put me in hospital for 1 month!)....plus loads of hot hatches. I'm 28 btw. Anyway, enough of me bragging , the z i've just got won't idle evenly, it'll hunt between 1500-2000 revs.....I haven't chance to boot it yet as I want to sort this idling problem out. Any suggestions where to start looking would b…

Hello, I am soon going to be buying one of these awesome cars and joining your excellent club as I have seen you at JAE for the last two years and was wandering what to look out for in a potential buy as I dno't want to buy a knacker. I will be buying a UK spec manual targa with leather.

OK boys and girls. Up until today, I thought my baby was sold and actually felt quite relieved when I got the message that the prospective buyer couldn't afford it but the fact remains that I need the cash. It's an UK, Manual, Arctic White, 1991, 2+2. I am looking for £6400. If you are interested, please mail me on cos.theo@mailcity.com and I will mail you complete low down on the car.

Can anybody tell me how to do this? I've no idea where the idle screw is, and i need to drop the idle revs by about 200. Cheers Ian

How’s this for an example of Nissan’s customer service. My car had been off the road for 3 years and following an engine swap had a misfire despite fitting a new PTU. In the end I had to fit a new wiring loom and ’coz the plenum chamber was off, decided to have the injectors cleaned at the same time. While they were away I ordered new o-rings for them from my local dealer. When they arrived they were in packs of 5 which meant I needed 2 packs which came to around £23. (as it happened I didn’t even need them!) I felt that selling parts for a 6 cylinder car in packs of 5 was a deliberate attempt to overcharge for an already overpriced part so I logged a compla…

Been collecting the songs for the album The Gift Of Game by Crazy Town but cant find the outro. Can some one please tell me they have it and are willing to email it to me, it would really be appreciated. Then I can get this cd burnt.

Hi all, After a bit or research I am thinking of buying a TT in the next few months. Although I'll have enough to buy the car and insure it etc, I won't have much left to fix anything that goes wrong. I have heard a few horror stories about running costs, and servicing bills so I want an honest lowdown on the car. If I take my time and find a good one within a budget of 6.5-7k, am I likely to be caught out? Cheers Alex.

Need help again [bloody good job you are here]sometimes i get smoke from under the bonnet just in front of the driver! When i open bonnet it seems to be coming from the dip stick area but checked this and all ok!!!!! any help on this matter would be helpful cheers Dave

Okay posted about steering being heavy, car sluggish, gear changes erratic and power light coming on now and again even without driving hard...have been told it points to either speed sensor or MPH conversion ( mine is a 90 TT Jap import with conversion 180mph clock)...now then who supplies and fits these and Im in the East Midlands area and how much? Is there a way to test it and is there any spec info/pics on the plugs for speed sensor or conversion kit anywhere so I kno what to look for. Say this cos the garage guy who fitted my new rack bushes said there was a wire hanging loose under the car and he couldnt see where it went..since then steering has been erratic and h…

Just out of interest, the documentation says that the manual cars have a neutral position sensor on the gearbox. Does anyone know what the purpose of this sensor is? I have noticed that when you put the car in gear, the revs do raise slightly. However, if this is all it does, what's the bloody point?! Just to satisfy my curiosity that's all. Cheers
