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…

Help for Mark at Max Power Live needed asap http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/ubbforum/Forum6/HTML/001109.html Jeff TT

on m6 into birminghamRed zed with a very happy looking lady in the car on m1 on way back red zed, I was in the white zed and we switched back and forth four about 30 miles or so i guess, Nice looking zed my first sightings

Going to look at a 92 Z tomorrow. It's done 80,000miles is a TT and manual. Hes asking 4K. Is this a good price? What should i look out for and how can you tell if the turbos are on the way out? What are the cars like to drive and is petrol consumption that bad? Also im able to get a water injection system cheap, will it be of much use for a Z? Thanks. Rob

Dontn know why but my pc will not hook me up with any 300zx.co.uk pages other than ones which were made in the begining of june.So the reason for the above tests,these were only to see if they would bring my pc back to the most resent pages of 300zx.co.uk and they have,GREAT! I have no idea why its playing up though i do feel maybe a virous in an email caused this,iv got some catching up reading to do now se ya.

Mark from Belfast, aka B12andy as he's commonly known, anyways he's at Max power showing everyone how Zed's are great for stunts and donuts etc, he's having problems with oil breathing, his dipstick feels like jumping out of it's socket all the time, whilst he's checking the usual breathers has anybody got any other ideas so he can carry on performing for the crowds, to save time if yer something to suggest please bell him on 07801944500 or mail me and i'll pass it on. Oh he's just done an auto to manual swap if that makes any difference. cheers smithy

i pray that you can help me. i am not able to find out why this cylinder is not firing. i have tested all wires going to coils and injectors. i i get juice on 2 wires and other is ground at all cylinders except last one rear drivers side. it only has voltage on middle wire and not to red strip wire. thus i am getting no change in engine when i remove coil connector with engine running. also getting raw gas in exhaust causing it to burn there and i know this can damage rings and cat and many other things i have also removed connector to ptu and find same wire to coil is dead at this point. no voltage. is it a broken wire or bad ptu or can i test at ecu? …

OK, instead of wasting time polishing my helmet, I decided to polish something else.... I think you'll agree, the results are nice... Before: and after: These cost an f'ing fortune from stillen - I can do it cheaper CheerZ, Andy ------------------ Log onto Tech info for the latest tech info :D

I have just read on the GTR register that a gang of theives are heading for Billing - specifically for Skyline parts and cars, but will probably not be too fussy if the opportunity arises, i paste this for you all: ------ JAE Warning Guys, word of warning for you if you're going to JAE at Billing in a few weeks. There's a gang of car thiefs going who are specifically looking for Skylines to nick and they aren't going after just cars either. Apparently they're going for things like exhausts, intercoolers, wheels etc. If you haven't got any locking wheel nuts I'd get some for the event. I know this isn't just a rumour, because a not-so-honest "mate" of…

im after the pod in which the ait con controls sit, the holes/posts that the screws for the hazzard lights button screw into have fallen appart, hence my hazzard light switch is all over the place causing my indicators to not work. anyone got a spare one they want to part with or sell? suppose this post should have been in the wanted section, sorry thanks in advance.

now sold... [This message has been edited by paulg (edited 14-07-2002).]

Hello everyone i would really love to buy one of these great cars and ive read loads of info on the net and a lot of it is saying that these cars arnt really a everyday car, but as this would be my only car i was wondering if it would be wise to buy one? i dont drive everyday as i live next door to my work place but i do a lot of motorway driving on the weekends would i be better off looking for a NA as ive read that the turbos will go and when they do they cost a lot to fix? as i said before i really would love to have one of these sitting on my drive please can you give me some advice on this it would be a great help thanks in advance.

plz read my post regarding my engine cutting out when it warms up(possible ptu) When the rac guy come to look at my car,he insisted that my problem wasnt my PTU,(he didnt have a clu i thought) anyway he tested my ignition to see if it was igniting OR SPARKING properly and as he said it was ,becaus of this he said it couldnt be the PTU.WHAT DO YOU THINK? is there any other reason for this happening to my car(stalling) he checked the ignition, fuel pump, all the fuses, but seemed to think it may be induction related(maybe connected to my goose honk?) but when i run a ecu diag while the engine was hot it showed 55(ok) later about 20 mins, i done a…

ive just read this on tt net,its got to be the best explanation of my good old goose honk:= The recirculation valves are modulated by vacuum signal from the intake plenum. When you boost 10PSI at WOT, the intake pressure matches the vacuum control pressure and the valves remain closed. Let go of the throttle and the intake pressure starts to climb because the turbos are still spinning, but on the other side of the throttle plates a vacuum immediately develops. Suddenly, there is a 20psi pressure difference between the intake and the recirc. valve control lines...so they open. What is happening is that when boost comes on at partial throttle, the pressure difference…

looking for the oil sender unit at courtesy and id like to no if its the oil pressure switch? number 25070-00001 looks like what i expect but not sure as ive never seen 1.thanks jay

It's totally stock. It has had new oil, oil filter, & air filters changed recently. Any advice would be appreciated. Van

I had a rac guy out to look at my car today,when he arrived i told him that the problem was my ptu,guess what he said"whats a ptu" anyway after explaining what it is ,he went on to check my car INC:- ALL MY PLUGS THEN MY FUEL PUMP after checking these he said he thought it was my fuel pump(i diconnected 1 of the fuel pipes and watched his face as fuel pissed all over his leg when i turned the car over) ffs youd think the rac would have a clue! then he decided to take 1 of the pipes off leading to my throttle bodies,he asked me to turn the car over and said its a problem with ya induction mate"there is no vaccum to the throttle bodies??????come on what the f…
