hi everyone, just been lookin through the past posts and couldn't find any info on what sort of specs you crazy people tune your car to, i.e rwhp(or claimed hp)OR ENGINE HP,(cheers b19rks) mines about ready for a rebuild(94000miles) not wanting to goto big turbo(as my girlfriend drives the car aswell,,,,she don't like lag!!) my thoughts on mods are, air filter, already got scorpion exhaust, ported heads, underdrive pulleys, fuel controller to allow use of 2 or 4 more injectors for extra fueling needs, raise compresion(using water injection to control detenation)to eliminate any lag, don't want BOVs (recirc's alot better), does this lot sound like…

whats gonna happen this time?? Last year we parked in with the Z club which was fine by me, I love those old zed's even though the owners think that Z32 people are drunken louts or hooligans. At Nottingham we got a few Zeds together but then got blocked in by about 100 identicle red FTO's and no one else could join us. So have we got a space or should the first few of us there just capture a space and chase away any invaders Would be good if we could get all the cars together this time Paul

as i had not done these stats for quite a while, i had no real idea how much the forum had grown.... from 13/jun/2002 10:12 to 21/jun/2002 14:23 = 8.25 days = 5,590,677,640 over 5.5G from 21/jun/2002 14:24 to 30/jun/2002 09:47 = 8.75 days = 6,313,681,652 bytes over 6G from 30/jun/2002 09:51 to 16/jul/2002 23:30 = 17 days or so = 10,333,807,758 over 10G so on average, we are looking at around 20G per month which is what Mike has offered. Although we could trim some down by disallowing large sigs (or any image sigs), disallowing video clips, limiting the image sizes again, and also the number of images allowed etc.. but i …

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

does anyone no where i can get these,im gonna try courtesy later this week,but was wondering if there is anywhere in the uk? also when upgrading the injectors(555) is it a must to upgrade the turbos?

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…

anybody out there got an oil cooler to fit a 1990 jap import TT? Or if not, is there a recommended mod, such as, fitting the equivalent Supra version, if so , how's it done? Cheers.

Just got some insurance from the Insurance factory, 342 for f/c with 5000 miles, 0 NCD, not bad at all. Me dad spoke to gareth, top chap, I recommend this guy to anyone here. Thanks Glen and MCZX for putting us in touch with this guy.

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!
