Hi All, Lovely weather for rear wheel steering innit?? Lost control coming off a roundabout last night in the wet and tw*tted my rear wheel against a high kerb. I've shaved the lip off the wheel but the main damage is behind there. All bushed compnents seem to be a bit wonky, I can only see one part that looks bent, that's a bolt holding an arm onto the rear of the hub (toward the rear of the car). The car feels crappy to drive - a bit like driving on those dreadful temporary road surfaces. Anybody else done this (and prepared to admit it!!) - if so, what did you have to replace to get it driving properly again? Ta very much for the advice AndyZ and An…

Okay posted a couple of days ago about my air conditioning and blower making noises...what I have noticed is also my steering feels REALLY heavy and stiff. This has gradually got worse over the past few weeks and is co-incidental with the air con making bad noises...looked under bonnet and cannot see anything...belts look ok. Someone told me even if the belt looks ok and is tensioned up correctly it can still be this. Also this problem seems linked also to when I had my Poly steering rack bushes fitted. Car seems to be running pretty lousy and alternator belt squeeks slightly but only on extra load. Please help. Again please any suggestions? Thanks guys.

Can anyone suggest a performance boosting chip/ECU upgrade for the NA 300ZX? Also how much work is involved in changing it out??? Cheerz Rob

If my DVD player at home will play VCDs on CD-R, does that mean that it will also play DVD-Rs ? The instructions state that CD-R is fine but don't mention DVD-R at all. Cheers guys Dave

After speaking to someone about how easy it is to clear the indicator lenses at Billing, I have decided to do it. But just went to get the silver bulbs which you are supposed to use and the pins that hold them in are in a different position. Where did all you guys that have done this successfully get the bulbs from? Anyone have any problems?

FOR SALE Pair of straight through S/S front pipes (the section normally with CATs in) used only for noise tests. My Super Dragger "cat back" section didnt like the CAT's out hence I'm selling. Shame as cracking quality pipes!!! Cost £240 from Mr Borg... open to offers around the £200 mark. I'm up north but heading south on Sunday for a week so could meet up to exchange goods. Cheerzzz Rob

Sorry to post here, but I've been trying to get a hold of Luke @ Zcentre.co.uk. I bought the BodyKit #3 and I've been trying to fit it on my Z. The rear arches don't seem to line up w/ the stock arches. Anyone else have this problem? If I line-up the rear of the arch to the rear of the wheel well, the front of the arch extends into the wheel well and is about a hand span away from the tire. If I line-up the front of the arch w/the front of the wheel well then the rear of the arch extends into the wheel well by several (~3-4) cm and does not line-up w/the rear bumper. Is this normal? Am I supposed to have to modify/cut the arch to make it fit or …

OK, I asked about tyres a little while ago but can't remember what was suggested. Can't be arsed to do a search so I'm asking again!. I am now in a position to buy some tyres after finding a little 'bubble' on one of my front tyres so will be off to micheldever tommorow lunchtime to change them. Question is then, what is a good all round tyre?. Dont really use the car in the wet unless I have to so whats good then. Cheers

I'm after the following bits for my 1990 N/A import. I think I'm right in saying that all these are the same for all models... 1)Front passanger side Tension Rod with bush 2)Front drivers side upper link arm and bolts I'm also after the following if anyone has got 'em: Black leather steering wheel without cruise buttons on it (off import) Black Leather shift knob Speedo face in MPH for N/A (without the turbo gauge at the bottom) If they are in excellent condition good prices will be paid. Either post on here or e-mail me with the cost inc P+P within the UK. Thanks Stephen
