I have a manual gearbox if anyone is interested. I also have some of the bits needed to do a auto to manual conversion, although you'd need to get a lot more bits too. I'm after £400 by the way. I can give a sort of guarentee too. Feel free to give me a ring if you want more details. Thanks AndyZ (01634 221783 or 0776 176 3474)

any help wellcome cheerz steve

Jaylox, if mem. serves it was you that wanted that SETI stuff was it not?. Well I stumbled across it tonight and scanned in four pages of it until my scanner decided it was time to break and stop working!. Well if you still want it I can e-mail it to you later tonight?. ------------------

I met a guy with a nice elctric blue Z in Leeds today who needs a mirror. Said I'd see if I could get him one cheap as he was going to get it from Nissan. Looks like it's broken off right at the base. It's an import N/A with the electric mirrors. Passenger side one required.

Have seen this up for sale at with a Trader, apparently it's in good nick but I wanted to get your views on it before I go and start trying to work out whether it's more bollox than boost. 1990 G NISSAN 300 ZX TWIN TURBO TARGA , MET BLUE, MOT-July 2003, ABS, Air Bag, Air Conditioning, Alarm, Central Locking, Leather, Luxury pack, Passenger Airbag, Power Steering, Stereo, alloys, manual - £3995 (before negotiation!) I've spoken to the guy who say's it's an import and has done 70k. Is this a fair price - seems cheap to me! Bit nervous i'm walking into a timebomb.... Anyone seen this car knocking about? - it's in Maidenhead. Cheers,

Thanks for all the advice guys i think im getting there now could anyone tell me when these turbos do go what price am i looking at to get them sorted? The reason im asking is that if i am to buy a car that's on the original turbos i guess i'll have to add the cost of new turbos onto the cost of buying the car?

Firebond want a valuation certificate to give an agreed value on the ZED. Say they can't find any reference to itin any of their normal books. I asked what had changed as it was OK lasy year. They checked back, and although I had filled in all the documentation, they had put me on cover but WITHOUT the agreed value. And hadn't told me. So, I need a valuation. Anyone got any bright ideas??

just found out what my problem is! the connector i need to know is:-if you stand at the front of ya car and look just to the right of the middle plug on the left,about 3 inches.what is this for /called???????? thanks jay

I spoke to a tuner yesterday and on running through the mods so far, he expressed concern over me using ordinary head gaskets and not replacing them with metal ones. He commented that the std Nissan gaskets were only good for upto 14.5psi and to use boost over that would require metal head gaskets and also suggested lower compression too. Can someone with a detailed knowledge of the 300zxTT engine please comment on this as it is the first time a tuner has mentioned it and I have spoke to a few in the past days. Having just had the engine put in really don't want it back out again any time soon. Thanks. ------------------ "Before it blew up" …

Mark, Any news on the flywheel bolts m8?? Also since you didn't need the clutch cover bolts, could I have those too??? Getting a bit desperate now to get the car for billing... CheerZ m8, Andy ------------------ Log onto Tech info for the latest tech info :D

My car detonates at WOT but seems to be from drivers side..... If this is caused by underfuelling at WOT how do I rectify this? Many thanks Regardz

Hi All, Swapped my chip last night (thanks ChrisC). I had no noticeable gain in BHP/torque which leads me to believe I was already running an upgraded chip. S'pose sub 5 secong 0-60's should have given it away ;-) The first thing that struck me was that I have been effectively uninsured for the last six months - if the f*ckers can get out of a claim on a technicality they will so my advice is make sure you know what's in your magic box!! We get ripped off for insurance anyway without giving them money for nothing.... My 1/4P's worth RobH

Got my car back from Zedworld the other day and ive got to tell everyone what a top job they did. The car drives 10 times better than it did before, theres no wonder Jeff is so busy. Top job, Great Price and Great Service.

A priest took a sabbatical to a fishing lodge. On the last day of his trip, he hooked a monster fish and proceeded to reel it in. The guide, holding a net, yelled, "Look at the size of that Son of a Bitch!" "Son, I'm a priest. Your language is uncalled for!" the priest said. "No, Father," replied the guide, "that's what kind of fish it is. It's a Son of a Bitch fish!" "Really? Well help me land this Son of a Bitch!" chimed the priest. Once in the boat, they marveled at the monster. "Father, that is the biggest Son of a Bitch I've ever seen" said the guide. "Yes, it is a big Son of a Bitch," replied the priest. "What should I do with it? " aske…

Define "joke" and define "personal dig" ? Not easy/possible. If people make friends here, by definition it must also be possible to make enemies. In the same way, while you can submit posts which please others you MUST be able to submit ones which offend/annoy. So try not to OFFEND OR be OVERSENSITIVE. There's no other option. We are human. We cannot expect it to run smoothly all the time - all we can and should do, is tell people when they're talking crap, not just jump on everyone when there's a dispute. People should avoid getting bitchy comments in, and then saying "I was only joking". BUT, people should also avoid taking comments too seriously. If someone s…

How gutted would I be if I sold the zed and bought a modified (280bhp) pulsar gti-r? Anyone here owned one of these and could give me a little info on the differences? Like I say just a thought as a guy at work is selling his and I'm gonna have a go in it to check it out. Cheers Martin ------------------

I have noticed there has been dischord in the Harmony of the forum and that several members have disturbed AURAS surrounding their posts. I have consulted the local Sharman regarding this and he recommends we form a collective group hug post. Any member replying to this post shall be blessed in all group buys, have no trouble with their Z's for a year (we are still working on this one), and shall reach 600BHP with ease and without detonation. The Hug can come to fruition at Billing, with no Homosexual (only for Timmy) undertones and we shall ask the Z Club to be at one with us!!! I shall ask our spiritual leader GIO to lead us in this cermony to rid us…
