Taken on Sunday at Maxpower Live. ------------------

Tonight at around 9.15pm near J27 M1 southbound. Looked quite a mean looking Z but could not see a plate as I was going NorthBound and was in the Wifes Rover.................. bloody typical.

At one stage, I was going to try to do this "properly" - but ran out of steam / time / resource. Anyhow, the chief teapot isn't letting me go to Billing this year so I can make this suggestion without fear of being held responsible for the success / failure. 1) We all love this forum 2) Many have supported fund-raising and, I am sure, many others feel the same. 3) Like JVN, many of us have "stuff" cluttering up the garage. 4) Many are going to Billing. Suggestion - why not post here stuff you want to get rid of and are happy to donate part of the proceeds to forum expenses. Settlement at Billing where Craig / Nic can get their hands on the m…

Hi all i have a small/medium oil leak under my car had a quick look today after work and it seems to be coming from a small dia pipe just back from the bottom of the rad [there are 2 pipes running from left to right]underneath a large bracket that seems to be attatched to these pipes!! the car is a uk auto any hints to repair/replace and what are these pipes for. Ithink they are oil cooler pipes!! [but maybe wrong i am a heating engineer!!] oh by the way the oil is not engine but transmission oil cheers Dave

Mate, the only stumbling block I am coming across is the case, the rest of the stuff is priced up, will contact you soon. It been too hot to work fast Speak soon, Glen ------------------ ->Glen

Just joined the Z owners circle and was wondering what the A/T and hold switch are for on my auto trans???????? Nothing in owners manual. Stupid question? When I jump on it the power light on dask lights up. Cheers

I've been in this business since punching 80 column cards to program Southampton Uni's Fortran beast (when computers were real computers and small furry animals from Alpha Centauri were real small furry animals from Alpha Centauri). However, for the past decade I have been unable to get a nice, quick, easy synchronisation between my PC-based address book/diary and a device to carry around. I won't bore you with the details (yet) but believe me, I have tried. I even converted everything from Netscape Messenger to that spawn of the Devil, Outlook and the f***ing thing still f***s up when sync'ing with my Psion 3mx. I quit. And I need your help. A business trip to …

Any of you guys coming to santa pod (ULTIMATE STREET CAR)IN AUGUST 9TH,10TH &11TH and take the Z's down the drag strip & show all these boys what a real car can do shold b a good weeknd went last year everyone loved the FAIRLADY?

Glen, Massive thanks for all the advice and for getting the disk to me so quickly. It slotted in perfectly and connected up dead easy. And there's no need to call me back (I left you a message earlier with a question but I sussed it). A related question for anyone who understands these things. I'm formatting as FAT32 as I need ultimate performance. This limits me to a 32Mb partition. I now need to format my second partition. If I create this as an extended partition instead of a primary one, will this mean that the second partition 'looks' as though it's part of the same drive ? i.e. the first partition is drive E - if I format the rest as an extended parti…

Does anyone else live in Kent and if so where do you get your 300 serviced. I have a distrust of my local Nissan dealer and was wondering what you lot do for servicing. Best regards Darren

Mark have you got my cheque for the rear propshaft? Sorry but if I don't hear from you soon I will have to get it from elsewhere. Having seen you drive at Max Power Live on Saturday, I am hopong it isn't off your car or it will be as worn out as mine is. ------------------ "Before it blew up" "Dirty at 156mph!" --------------- Z first and anything else is secondary and live life a quarter mile at a time!

I have a 93L UK spec for sale. 2+2, automatic, targa top, leather interior, full UK stock except for Mongoose cat-back exhaust. 45k miles, new gearbox with guarantee and improved oil cooler. Basically excellent condition bar some superficial stuff: - front bumper is fitted badly and could do with re-mounting / replacing. - as a consequence of the front bumper problem the number plate mount broke needs replacing (have duck-taped the number plate to the car for now!) - usual scratches and paint chips - needs the tension rod bushes replacing - not sure about the rear shocks. I could do with getting rid of the car quite quickly as the finance people are after i…
