Hi all, would 300 seats fit in my S13??? just a thought. thx steve

There are 2 threads that I cant see correctly. The Help on just shows a completly blank page, no buttons, no text nothing And the Max power one. The 2nd reply shows nothing, and even though the main page says 4 replys, there is nothing showing after the blank one. Who broke it this time? Stuart

I need the plastic bit which the radiator cap screws onto, as the thread which the cap screws onto is knackered, so if i can have just that radiator assembly that would be fine, but if not the whole radiator is fine. MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION. cheers Steve

How many breakdowns have you had in your zed & what was it? just interested in faults that have left you dead at the side of the road. my 1st one the other week was the PTU, which seems to be popular at the moment. ps im not talking nervous breakdowns due to running costs!!! ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

Ever wondered what it’s like having a car spinning out of control towards you on the motorway? Well that’s what happened to me today driving home from work on the M11. It seems that a lorry clipped the rear end of a car whilst changing lane and sent him spinning into the right hand lane just as I was over taking the lorry so I didn’t even see the car till it was on top of me. Guess it’s the end of the road for my baby then. Gutted though because I’ve just spent over 6K in the last couple of months for engine rebuild, new turbos and gearbox, don’t suppose the insurance company will give a shit about that and just pay book price. Man this really sucks

The cowl about the fan, mine is busted up and I want to replace it, how much for postage and package? Mike

trying to get to the bottom of my erractic idling so thought I would check the TPS out only to find two electrical connections with green corrosion on and the top connection complelty gone , I think due to heavy corrosion is this correct? if so could this one connection missing cause the idling ploblems? If so is thier an easy solution to replace just the inside conector instead of having to buy a whole new sensor any suggestions much appreciated rob b

I have a 12V air compressor(250PSI) for connecting to cigarette lighter and inflating tires. My problem is that it works with my 200SX but not with my 300ZX - and I've checked both ciggy lighters and they both work. Both cars are UK; anyone know why it only works on my 200SX?! Also, I plan to take out the spare tyres to lose some weight - what do I need to replace them and where can I buy them - someone mentioned a compressor ? (like above?) and a can of rubber spray ? - does this make the tyre irreparable if used ? Differences between a 200SX & a 300ZX: 300ZX sticks to the roads much better. Acceleration is less urgent? than in a 200SX. Headlights on 3…

Hi guys My z tt has the old up and down idling problem and ive been told that as my temp gauge also moves up to max then mid then max etc my temp sensor must need cleaning. Can someone say wher it is located and is it best to clean or replace this. How much roughly is a new one. Any other info on this idling problem would be useful. P.s idling seems ok when cold and when warm with AC on. Cheers guys

I see you are from Pasty-land bud....whereabouts? I travel down to Redruth every few weeks to see my family...rarely in the Z (it's usually in the 'kin garage!!)...maybe meet up sometime?

I'm trying to get a list together of the parts that are 'recommended' for change at the 10 year mark(my Z is 12). So far I've got(inc Courtesy Part No's): Fuel Pump 17042-00002 Idler Pulley 13077-00001 Secondary Tensioner 13077-00002 Not a very big list at the moment. So these are parts that I think could be changed: Driveshaft supports/mounts Engine mounts Wheel bearings/hubs? Door/Window rubbers General bushes ...what others? Engine internals etc? I havent listed things that normally get done in the 60k service(PVC valves, water pump etc). So if anyone has any other suggestions on what should be changed at the 10 year+ mark please…

......does anyone know where I can get an enamel badge that says twin turbo on it. I've spent hours searching the web and I can't find anywhere that does them.

does anyone no how much these cost(new) thanks jay

Peace be with ya bud, and we'll have a pint at Billing if we are both there Glen ------------------ ->Glen

We once chatted about the easiest way of telling if your tyre presures are down. Well, worry no further. http://www.easternaerospace.com/automotive/accessories/

Ordered a pair of TurboXS RFLH dumplin valves today,should arrive Tuesday.There all chrome finish with big horns,surposed to be the loudest available.The bloke said, people will here you coming two streets away.(Sounds Cool)Has any one got a set,do I need to blank off the engine ones? all advice how to fit them would be greatfully received.(Ta)Vince! ------------------

Was wondering if anyone had one of these for sale. Please mail me if you do. Am also willing to swap for a long rad pipe of wiper control dash pot.

This week I have finally done a couple of things that should have taken me 20 minutes a piece, but actually took me over 6 weeks for the first and 2 hours for the second. The first was to fit a pair of Pulsar side repeaters. The type that Harve and Tony have got. They are flatter that the standard repeaters and I prefer them. However, being as you only have a 1.25" gap to get the bulb holder in, it has take me 6 weeks, on and off to fit these bastards....But I did it. They were a bitch to do and I have several stanley blade scars to prove it. Now I know why Harve was keeping the fitting instructions close to his chest. If any one wants a pair of these fitting, I…

Went to Max Power today and was pleased to see a total of 5 zeds. Kash's green one,Tooleys silver one, A yellow one and a black one in the car park, and the star of the show The black one doing stunts/ burnouts for the crowd on the cruise strip, its funny listening to a crowd cheer twice as loud for a black z than two silver M3's, Made me feel very proud to be a Z owner. Sadly i only got about 4 pics of zeds as i used all of my shots on all the fanny, which was nice.

Can't believe it, stacked my car tonight. Luckily no one hurt and no one else involved. Driving a little too fast and couldn't slow down in time. Also had car booked in for replacement front bumper on Monday so really glad that hadn't been fitted but current bumper, drivers headlight, both wings and windscreen all knackered. Harve and Topsquads forget about buying parts both have had it. For the guys who sell second hand parts need a new drivers headlamp, two wings and a windscreen, bare in mind this is a swb if that make any difference. Just had to get this off my chest soooooo gutted as only been back on the road for 3 days. Just a reminder that…
