Hiya Guys, took my Z for a drive and noticed that the front headlights were not working, the brights work and the parking lights work, but the main headlights are out. I have checked all the fuses but they are all OK. I was wondering if it is something to do with the dimmer relay. I have swapped the main headlight relays and they work fine. Has anyone else had problems with their dimmer relay or have any ideas about what I can do ? Or do I have to buy another dimmer relay to try and solve the problem. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks Amer.

Could be a bargain here for someone. It's been on a couple of times recently but he's obviously getting desperate as no reserve this time. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1738808636

So come on then lads "Why Did you buy your Z" Was it for the performance? A lot of cars go like a Z Was it for the looks? OK it is one of the Classic shapes Was it for the looks you get when you are in it? I must admit I get just as many people look at my Soarer as my Z. Was it for the value for money? Not many cars go like a Z for 5 grand. or was it for the all round package? It has to be the best! Ps a bloke at work is on has forth Escort. Just borrowed £5500 to buy a Si FFS. Rick

just bought boost,oil and water autometer gauges from rx7 store $182 delivered to ya door,not a bad price and ill let ya no how long it takes to get them? this is after having a right fanny on getting my visa accepted.

and got a before and after printout. The after printout gives a number of measurements as "not within specification". They are: Left front camber -2°08' (spec -1°35' to -0°05') Left front caster 8°24' (spec 9°00 to 10°30') Left front SAI (KPI) 14°09' (spec 12°05' to 13°35') and Right front caster 7°13' (spec 9°00' to 10°30') This was after they adjusted so what do I do next? Is this all curable like John Nuke'Em did his? TIA - Gio (still chippin' away at one problem at a time!) ------------------

There I was a few weeks ago saying how much I love my Soarer and how quiet it is and smooth ect,ect. Then I go and pick up a '92 300zx TT from Tilbury dock, that I orderd 8 weeks ago. Well Bxxxxcks to quiet and smooth this Z will slap my Soarer all up and down the M25 for breakfast. So I take it all back chaps, if you don't have to compromise like I do, then go for the Real Sports Car. Been driving about in my lard arse Soarer for too long. Rick

ive tried to connect my aerial but dont no which wire it is to get my aerial to extend when i put the power on,i have a kenwood mask tape unit. if anyone can help id appreciate it ...jay its the wires behind the stereo

Trying to decide where to fit this. Don't want an ugly black lump on top on my nice swoopy dashboard, so I guess will need the re-readiating antenna. So where to put the unit? The best place I have come up with so far is: Any ideas? TIA - Gio ------------------

someone from a Nissan main dealer told me there are air filters in the wheel arches, is this true? I ask this question cus there a sound coming from kind of around the wheel arch. Sounds like something blowing when the car is idling and reving, thought it might be somthin at the front exhaust. Though the sound is coming from the wrong location for that. anyone got any suggestions?

Can i have a final show of numbers for this Event guys - There have been a few threads posted here and there but its all a mess. If we have enuff numbers i will phone up and book us some space.

Hi Guys, Just posting this looking for your opinions! I bought a SWB TT Z tuned up a fair bit but because the head gasket was going it was for a song. My original intention was to take the tuning bits off it, replace them with stock, repair it and sell it. Then put the performance parts on the Convertible when I TT it! I took it to Darren he took it for a drive and said it was one of the fastest Z's he had driven, and as a ballpark estimate he said it was 450+BHP! He didn't think that it was producing that power on external Mods alone, that he could see without stripping it down! He recommended that if I was looking for a unit to put into the convertible,…

Does anyone know where to buy a Carbon/Kevlar hood from, I have searched the net for weeks n weeks but with no luck. MX5s,RX7s,Civics is all I can find.

Remember the dyno day we went to in kings langley last Nov? Does anyone have the phone no. or the name of the place. cheerzzz

Woohoo! Just managed 343 miles on a tank - from full to fuel light flickering. That was including some bad behaviour and horrendous bankhol traffic jams on M5/M6 but mostly cruising at 70/75 mph. Mods include bicycle wheels off my sister's raleigh eighteen (two sets), dual fuel solar/propane, a large sail (helped by a tail wind), Vauxhall Viva exhaust (anybody want one fabricating?? - no? thought not!), plenty of axel grease on the brakes and all seats/carpets removed (I have a splinter in my a*se from the orange boxes we were sitting on) Ahem... I'll go now....

Battery was fine for ages, until friday. I was in the car messing with the stereo and doing a bit of cleaning, the stereo went dead and the aerial stopped half way down. So i check the battery, its reading 9V. We were going on hols that afternoon so I disconnected the negative and we came back yesterday. I charge the battery up, its great, engine fires first turn. Let it run for a bit, stopped it, 5 mins later started again fine. Come to it this morning to put the stereo presets back in. totally dead, no stereo, turn the key to on, no dah lights, nothing. Check battery, reading 2V. Whats going on here!? Im no expert on electricals but id say something i…

Hi, I am thinking about ordering a front strut tower brace from www.procarparts.com, looks like the same as courtesey one but for $50!! They do a few other bits for the Z, totally clear indicators and indiglo gauges, carbon fibre dash panels all fairly cheap. If anybody else wants to join in and share the postage and the duty (see if we can avoid it)then give me a shout! Mark

How difficult is it to change the speedo face on a zed? Anyone got a tech with pics for it? Thanx

Hi, I have got a few copies of Psion 5 Software if any of you want them, I would swap them for some Z goodies! I have got Allegro Handwriting recognition Chess 5 Pack of Games BackGammon and Chinese Chess All the Best, Mark

...anyone got a rear gear box (auto) mount for sale. I want new, as the one I'm replacing is already 2nd hand - bought it 2nd hand and it improved the vibrations, but there's still room for more improvement. Or any suggestions re suppliers... thankz Jack
