Wow, what a holiday! Great weather, great cars and great women! I should have never come back! Well, what can i say apart from- We get truly conned on this side of the pond! I had a camero for 2 weeks which i borrowed from my aunt who has a house there. When i first drove it i was pleasantly surprised with its power and comfort- unfortunately it didnt know the meaning of corner but it didnt matter because the roads are all straight! The most pleasant surprise came when after not so many miles the fuel tank needed to be replenished. So, i drove into the peppy and proceeded to fill her up (the car). It clicked off at 20 dollars!!!! The tank was full!! BARGA…

When the oil sender died last time the pressure would periodically drop to zero. This time, she never drops below 30 but only hits a maximum of 40 even at 4000 rpm. Oil level is fine using whatever SE put in there and is about 3000 miles old after an open engine experience. Could it be anything else. After she was put back together she was hitting 70 psi at 4000 rpm.

What a difference. The stock one is crap. To start with on ignition the gauge stays at 0-bar, where it should be. The responce is instant. As soon as you press the accelerator, the gauge shoots up to 0. Took my car for a spin to see how good it is. After about 5 mins of driving, so the engine is not quite to 100% temp, I put my foot down and look at the gauge. It got to 0.5 bar. Which is about 7 psi. What I expected because the ECU cuts it down when cold. The stock dial was reading 14psi. When its warmed up foot down again and it went up to about 0.65. Which is right. Again the stock one was showing 14psi. Tell you what the oil pressure one is like when I get tha…

Hi all, I've been offered the change to buy an imported 300zx for just £2,000. I have never owned one (always had a 200sx). What should I be looking out for as I do realise this is very cheap. Any advise would be of helpful. Many Thanks

Hi mate, Wondered if your Skyline chariot was R32 or R33 but after seeing the mess some twat has made of it I see it is a 32. Mate, I want a Skyline and the R32 seems very reasonably priced but I would really like the R33 VSpec. Have you any experience of the differences between these two beasties. In particular the differences betweem the torque splitters of the two cars and the engine setup. I think the Skyline would be far better suited to the roads where I live (ie fooking shit ones) as the Zed is undriveable on the Isle of Wight. Final question - Which do you prefer: R32 or Z32? I love my Zed but ever since day one it was a skyline I wanted, and…

I have bought a new oil gauge but I have to plug it in where the oil pressure sender unit is. Where is it located? Also I have a new turbo gauge. Where does that plug into? Stuart

Last Monday (9 days ago) I dropped my Z off at a J car specialist to, amongst other things, have the centre bearing replaced and the propshaft checked over / balanced if necessary. This should have been the last gasp at curing the prop vibes. They assured me they had a local propshaft expert who could do this and that they would get it to him on Tuesday for him to fiddle with on Wednesday and refit on Thursday. Fine. Thurs I ring up - propshaft bloke gone to hospital so will be off work for a day. I will get my car back late Sat or Mon at latest. Ring Mon - garage says propman won't answer his phone but we'll pick it up tomorrow. Ring Tues - still hasn't answere…

I've had enough of the old tailgate hanging around the Garage, bring me a crate of Stella and it's yours, only joking about the Kiss, well if you insist!! It's red, HRW is fine the spoiler is knacked and there is a tiny little bit of rust on the inner lip a bodyshop could sort it out no problem! Mark

Hello Mate, Tried to reregister again and the same thing keeps on happening, it comes up as somebody already has that email address! Have registered under different name 'BedHead' and different email address, so can you delete my old user name and password and change my new name email address to Mha5208164@aol.com. Cheers Mate, Mark

at about 1500rpm I am getting a strange squeal sometimes, its coming from the engine and sounds like its coming from the passenger side but its hard to pinpoint, above and below 1500rpm it is not present after about 5 minutes of driving it goes away and doesn't appear until the next day, any ideas what this could be? I only notice it because my coolant sensor plays up sometimes and it idles at 1500rpm Mike [This message has been edited by MikeGroves (edited 28-05-2002).]

G reg, import, on the Leisure park thing. Anyone here ?

Hello boys and girls. A friend of mine called down to me last night to show me his 00 BMW M5 that he just bought this week, lovely car with double glazed windows, t.v and all the trimmings. Handles absolutely fantastically for such a big car, and has the sort of throttle response that I can only dream of having with the 300. He called over late and at 3 this morning we decided to take the two cars for a race. We pulled onto the motorway near me which was absolutely car-less, and he took the outside lane with me in the Z on the inside. We were at 60mph, and agreed that we would go on 3 beeps of the horn. I had the Z (which is running nothing but an S.E chip and…
