Bonjour all, I've just got me first 300(I've been wanting one for yonks) and I've got a few teething problems. Firstly she seems to be leaking from the cooling system, causing overheating!!! Also, the motor for the electric window (pass. side) has decided to pack up and Nissan want £295 + vat the thieving B******S!! Can anyone help! Also she's in need of a good service by someone who knows their stuff. I'm in the Slough area, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be made up! And finally hello to all you zx owners.. hope to see you on the road, once these gremlins have been sorted!

Has anyone fitted one. Found guide on TT net. Looks fairly simple but i always seem to run into problems. Is it worth a crack yourself if your not stupid?

Afetr all the hassle of being burgled 2 weeks ago and all my favoutie things being pilfered (apart from my zed)- my car was parked at work lastnight by the backdoor tucked up nicely so i can keep an eye on it- when i popped out halfway through service i couldnt believe my bloody eyes..............Two absolutely dodgy as f**k guys were loitering around my car and as soon as they saw me they legged it!!! Im sick to death of this shit!!!!!!!!!! I swear someday we are all gonna have to take the law into our own hands. LUKE DUKESTER-Absolutely fed-up. Ps. even if they wanted to steal it they would not only have a problem with my £900 clifford alarm and my t…

After last nights escapade i think i need to get some breakdown recovery. I know this was mentioned in a prevoius thread, are AA the best or are there some bargains around like Direct line and Green Flag or are they crap.

Just been speaking to Johnny at GPS about springs for 300's, as I am now an official 'Johnny's Bitch' he is organising a group buy for the Blitz springs. The price is an unbelieveable £185 all in reduced from £247. Sounds pretty good to me. We need atleast 5 people to get these prices so let him know by 21st Aug for this group buy.

I need a new exhaust as mine has 2 huge holes before the back boxes. I'm having the same rear end kit as K4SH and after looking at his exhaust with the 6 inch pipes I'm thinking of doing the same. I looked under his car and couldn't see any back boxes?!? Anyone know if this is right? I also want to remove the cats. Has anyone got a straight through pipe from in front of the cats right back with no silencers? With the holes in mine it effectively doesn't have them anyway so I don't think it would be too much louder? Should be very cheap too if it's just a piece of piep with a 6 inch trim welded on. Any ideas?

has any one got any pictures of these on there Z or a Z i love these wheels but dont know wether they will suit the Z cant aford em yet but in the future Simon

Just wanted to say hi.

Was it moving? Nearest to actual speed wins the red Z. It's being given away after seeing loads of better ones at the show [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 30-07-2002).]

'written off my zed' is officially top banana! Called him asked for a PTU and a coilpack, cant ask for the wrong thing! Great price too then, it turns out he is coming up my way on wednesday to go to a funeral (sorry about the funeral, hope ur not too gloomy when we see you), anyway hes gonna bring the parts with him. Saving us a trip down to somerset. GREAT!! So fingers crossed we will put the parts on the motor and it will be firing on all cylinders and working better than ever!

Just to put the rumour to bed. I've spoken to Paul today, and there is no way he has sold out. What he has done is sold the Jaguar kit and a few odds and sods of Z bits. I can pass on a message from Paul that buisness is as usual and that all enquiries still go to him at http://www.paulbailey.com/ PETER

Not quite done yet, but keep your eyes on http://www.asylum101.com/300zx/default.htm I wandered around billing with my new toy (JVC DV Cam) and will be putting a proper Windows Media streaming video of Billing + a really gorgeous shot of a load of us in convoy at the roundabout just arriving. Coming back on the A508 I followed a very nice dark grey ZX, bigger spoiler, nice single exhaust, rather than the 4 tailpipes... if that was your car and you remember a stock silver H plate behind you (sometimes in front), I have a lovely bit of video of you on the road (worth watching just for that fabulous exhaust note when you wellied it!!!). I'll post again when v…

Me again, (sigh) Just purchased a set of new koni shocks and blitz springs for my zed as my shocks have had it. just wondered what you dudes out there who have konis set yours on and what sort of difference it makes on different levels (if at all noticeable!). Cheers fellaz! LUKE DUKESTER ------------------

Hey dudes, Just wondered what you all thought about under body neon lights (fast and furious stylee). Do u recon it looks really tacky due to loads of dickheads in shitty novas and stuff doing it or do u think it would look pretty darn groovy on a 300zx? Ah hem.........not that i would have it done of course...................LOL! Cheers LUKE DUKESTER ------------------

So, I take my Zed to get an alarm fitted. Local Nissan dealer had good deal on and insurance company wanted a cert. This was last Wednesday !! Have I seen it since ? No ! Just as well last weekend was a washout, I mean it's not as if I missed the best weekend of the year for taking a drive.. Life Sucks.... Humbug. Just thought I'd share that with you.
