for the pc techies. Is there anyway of using a printer which is upstairs from a pc downstairs without running any cables? Cheers Vijay

I've just bought this car 300Zx TT UK model L379 XLM. The speedo only goes to 110mph and the mileometer reads in km. When I bought it the turbo gauge was not working and this is in 0-700mm/hg not psi. It suggests it is an import but I've got a full service history. Strange isnt it. I found the fault with the turbo meter - the fixing screws had been removed from the printed circuit board of the dash. The question is where can I get the correct speedo gauge and turbo gauge and how do I convert it to read in miles not kilometres. I used to have a 300ZX many years ago K300 CMJ so I am familiar with the car but at the moment I'm baffled. The service history shows that the inst…

Came back to work tonight and on the way the whole car started shaking quite badly. I pulled into the middle lane (yawn) and slowed down to a sensible speed (yawn again!) but there was bad vibration (no bad jokes please!) still which was transmitted through to the steering wheel. The only thing that has been done recently is that I had all four wheels re-alloyed or coated or whatever its called, so all four wheels have been off thats all?. Anyone had this problem?. Tony

Classic http://www.vectorlounge.com/04_amsterdam/jam/flamjam.html I got 364mph

Ive recently bought my self a Jap import 300zxtt which drove perfectly the day i bought it (as they do), but since then ive had a few probs with it, the worst is this sensor light which comes on sometimes if i put my foot down resulting in the car juddering and horrible to drive (only firing on 5). Its booked in next week, any idea how big a prob this is gonna be? cheers

I guess some1 must have one lying around. AndyZ you must have a car with one on 85 quid seems a ripoff for a little chip, can they be copied? P.S. dont want one thats bust

I'll be there this Sunday 12th May if any of you boys are up for a race. It's at North Weald near M25 / M11 Junction 7 Who fancies going? Grant http://www.dragrace.co.uk/

Ahoy there, how easy are sparky's to fit, it's service time again and need to change them. Shall I do it myself or take it to the grease monkey's? Also how do I clean my blitz air filter? Cheers, Andy

There i am, brake pads and discs replaced, not driven cos cars been in garage for 4 months and i get the car back. I get into the car, its running smooth and i pull up at some lights. A guy pulls up next to me, all looks. I decide that i've already won this race and i'm not even moving. just so he doesn't do it again, i decide to show him real power...... Lights change - Bang - i hit sixty in no time and see a white dot in my mirror................all of a sudden loss of power. Put the car in SE and they said my number 5 coil connector wasn't sitting properly. Anyway, i was running on five valves. So embarrassing but i pretended to slow down and let the car…

She has recently developed an occasional stall when I depress the clutch as I come to a stop. The revs overshoot idle then don't recover. Tends to happen only at top of motorway exit ramps so it's after she has a bit of excercise. Any ideas?? There are no other hesitations at all.

This has to be one of, if not THE prettiest cars I've ever seen

Worth a go. God knows we spend enough on Go Go juice! ********************************************* Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to 89p a litre by the summer. Want petrol prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip Hollsworth, in the USA, offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy petrol on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, w…

Just rang my insurance company (Privilege) to add my other half to my insurance and it REDUCED the premium - even though she's younger, with less no claims and less driving experience. Dave

Hey, hopefully you can help me... I've been looking at this 1990 300ZX with about 78000 miles. When I took it for a test drive, it felt 100% top notch until 35mph, where it proceeded to get a vibration that felt drivers side rear.. The car has brand new tires on it, but I'll have the person have the alignment checked tomorrow. I read something about a driveshaft wobble, when the U-joints or center support bearing are going bad on the driveshaft.. Has anyone had this problem before? How did you fix it? How much did it cost you? Is it a BIG problem, would it have messed up anything else too which also would need to be fixed? Should I be looking for a different car? Thank…

Now come on, I've seen at least a dozen or more zeds flying around this town in the past couple of months, there must be at least a couple of you here on this forum?. I was one car behind a black one in Bitterne last night FFS. I have seen enough of them to make me think, mmmmm, there becoming too popular, time for a change...?

How is it?

Hi All, Just put some new stuff onto Lukes site for him. Range of Alloys (28 different styles) from 17" - 20". Tyres to fit (Pirelli, Toyo, Fulda, Hankook). Engine Styling parts and Pipes (Cybercraft). Cybercraft Single and Double cone induction kits. Pillar Pods (Single and Double) for RHD. Also the 99+ Spec Rear panel is now available to go with the 99+ Spec Rear Lights. Any problems or missing links, drop me a line - bit blurry eyed now!! Martin

Found some of mine were slack. Seems the warm weather might have softened the pipes up a bit. Needless to say a simple tighten up and a lot more boost and shove in the back. Must have been losing pressure thru one of them which was really slack due to a stripped Jubilee clip. Wille

As you know i've been faffin around with brakes a lot latly. So why are some calipers - ours and many alike on the front upper third of the disc. And others on the rear upper third of the disc ie-scooby, intergrale etc. Which actually cools quicker, the more i think about it the more pros & cons i think of for both.......No differance in either or has one of you the answer.
