I have started my Wedding tour. I arrived in Perth on Thursday, went downstairs to hotel reception and there was a white Z in the car park. Went out and about and that day, in the space of about 2 hours I saw 4 Z's! Any of you lot? One was a strange Goldish colour. Went to Hong Kong first. No Zeds, lots of Skylines, Evo's and Scoobies. ------------------

Just scouting about for another car and was wondering whats the best model to look out (not neccesarly for speed, but also reliability) Normal aspirated, twin turbo, auto, manual, targa tops, (not intersted in a short wheel base model) and finally UK or Import? Any advice glady appreciated... Nath

... the sun eventually came out and the day turned into a scorcher! The event was definately bigger than last year, Jap cars as far as the eye could see, well almost It was good to put faces to a few names, and I'm pleased to say that not a single fight took place in the Saturday Here are a few pics, not very good, but Warren and AndyI were also taking a lot of photos so they might appear in due course.

Anyone know if some Skyline R34 (18") alloys will slide straight on?!?!?!?

Yes, the day has arrived and I'm finally getting married to a GREAT GIRL. I didn't even have to sell the car, she let me off. Am I happy? What do you think!!!!!!! Life can be so good at times. ------------------

Hmmmmm. Nice!!!!!

If you had bought £1,000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth £49.00. With Enron, you would have £16.50 of the original £1,000.00. With Worldcom, you would have less than £5.00 left. If you had bought £1,000.00 worth of Stella (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the bottles for a 5p deposit, you would have £107.00. Based on the above, current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

damn, thought mine was the only one down here!!! ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

just to give you a bit of an insight to the effectiveness of tracker. I have just had the figures through for June 2002 Cars up to £10.000 13 Total £81.000 £10.000 to £20.000 33 Total £508.000 £20.000 to £30.000 26 Total £702.000 £30.000 to £40.000 16 Total £599.000 over £40.000 10 Total £630.000 35 involved taking of keys 8 taking of keys in burglary 2 taking of keys by violence So it does work!!

http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/ubbforum/Forum6/HTML/001179.html Any ideas appreciated... Also should we drag it to billing tommorrow on 5 cylinders and get some ncie techy people to look at it , or go down in our beaten up old galant, which we are safe in the knowledge will actually get us there...and back ------------------

Was on the ramp at the garage for 5 hours today and the problem is still there. Cylinder 5 is down. To start with we changed the plugs, taking the old ones out was like a pick and mix! Anyway we put the new ones in. Fired her up, misfire is still there. Got out the multimeter, absolutely no power to the 12V line at the coilpack harness on Cylinder 5, 12V on all the others. Take the PTU off, clean the connectors, put it back on. The car wont start at all now! Anyway after a bit of persuation we got it started, still missing!!, we now have 3V. So we take the PTU off again, and find out the voltage to the red wire doesnt change at all even if you dic…

I'm after a compressor that will be able to run a impact wrench & a spray gun as cheap as poss, new or s/h. I've got no idea what the fuck I should be looking for so has anyone got any recommendations? Also can anyone recommend a cheap impact wrench & spray gun. Cheers Jay ------------------

Over 3 hours have gone and no one has posted. Where is every one? Its like every one of the forum have all gone out for the day.

Drove car for most of day last week, switched off for a while and back on and only had about half turbo boost. Switched car back off and all was ok!!. Has anyone else had same probs. The car is a 1990 Jap spec with no mods. Its been serviced and looked after both in Japan and England. Someone called it Safety Boost. Why should this happen. Weather was hot and had been on motorway for a while, but its never happended before now. Would appreciate some comments. Regards Russ

I wonder!!! & im sitting here at work, bummer!! should be there tomorrow tho, hope the weather holds out ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

I've seen several of these "strut bars" advertized on various websites and e-bay and I was wondering if anyone here has them on their car. If so has the handling increased noticiably by putting them on? Thanks SteveK

ive had my car in the body shop for 4 days and ive just spent 12 hrs trying to finish it off! my bumper was really crappy installed and ive had to re fit it(custom),ive had the wings/bumper resprayed and its looking the bollocks. well done to my mate ross and terry for doing a bollocks of a job for 300 quid if anyone is wanting to get a first rate paint job on the cheap these are ur guys to try01642 839333(middlesbrough) full resprays for a grand! looks like im back in the morning(7am)to finish it off and buff the finish so ive got a long day ahead!!! jaylox

Do they have a bar at Billing, or do we have to bring a case of our own? Think beer that has sat in a hot Z all day is none too tasty. A promt reply would be appreciated as im setting off in 6 hours!

Anyone passing in a Z somewhere near Harrogate/York area junctions on sunday? Otherwise I'll have to drive down in a Pug 206 and miss all the fun Share the petrol etc.

Started the car recently and only got half boost on turbo gauge and the lack of performance was noticeable. Don't drive car very often, but this day had done about 100 miles. Stopped the car whilst (saftey Boost???) was on. Car seemed ok once restarted. On Holiday now, so havent driven car since. Has anyone else experienced probs of same nature. The car is a 1990 TT Jap spec with about 70K. Been well looked after in both Jap and England and has no modifiactions at all. Can anyone shed light please..... Hopefully worrying needlesley...!!!!!

Reversed out of parking bay behind this volvo thing... I stayed there for a mo' making sure little ones where firmly secure int the back then WHAM..! I looked in the RVM nothing..? Some guy did not look in his mirror to see me and hit my passenger side door. I jumped out quicker than you can say WTF! to inspect only to find nothing (GULP), luckily no damage. Sorry for ranting but I just had to get it off my chest, am now drinking a nice pint of IPA to calm me down, sod it I think I will drink the lot! Something stronger would be nice but its all gone!!!

Hi, I have a slight problem with repairing my door mirrors. Scuse the post in the general forum but I am crossing my fingers that someone might be able to help me out at Billing? I bought the convertible with one door mirror all glued up. I removed the glue and the metal pivot that the housing rotates on had snapped. I bought a used door mirror from a series one, not realising that the mirrors on the series 1 and 2 were different, also not realising I had heated mirrors on the convertible! I disassembled both mirrors and realised my mistake, I know the actual mirrors are different but can the motors that turn the housing be swapped over, and yet st…
