As you may know, I've got two 300ZX's for sale (see previos message with photos). If you have a 300ZX with problems or if you've crashed it, then I may be able to help. You could Part Ex your "broken Z" against one of my A1 300ZX's. I would dismantle your part exchange, so if you wanted to keep anything from your original Z, then you're welcome to do so. Plus if you can find anything wrong with my 300ZX's, then I'll give you the part you need, for free of course. Just an idea ??????? Thanks AndyZ (01634 221783 or geewhizz@onetel.net.uk)

I just wanted to make this public apology to Ian (Mac1). I had an MSN conversation with him a while ago which conincided with me having a very bad day or two. This unfortunately resulted in me being very rude to him (which is quite out of character for me, I think the people who know me will agree). Since it seems half the forum know I was very rude to him, he would seem like a bit of a softy if he let this go which is why I'd like to publicly apologise for what I said and I hope we can go back to being friends like we were before this happened. Sorry. Andy

Hi gang, Courtesy nissan are doing a JWT popcharger cone filter for $120 + $48 delivery, anyone know what these are like?? Thanks Paul

what is the quickest way to convert my auto to manual(job for the winter) and upgrade turbo's is it better to pull the engine out with gearbox or drop gearbox and change turbo's in posiion.

Could be SPAM (which I hate), but I like my cars and dont want have to pay stupid prices for petrol, so what the hell. It seems a reasonable idea... READ THIS I know everybody hates SPAM, but just read on, this is about PETROL PRICES. 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 Holsworth, 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 us because they knew we wouldn’t con…

Cda 2. rolling resistance 3. Tilt factor 4. Roll factor Would mucho appreciato any of the above for my little box of tricks... Thanks in advance

This programable ECU replacement looks like a good bit of kit: http://www.autospeed.com.au/A_0301/P_1/article.html But they dont list the Z32 under the models it covers Anyone heard if a Z32 version is on the way?

I've had 3 autometer gauges now, all giving different readings. The latest one does at least read zero when switched off, but only 11psi at max boost using boost jets. I'm still not really confident that the figure is accurate, so I don't want to put smaller jets in and risk blowing the engine without checking that the 11psi is accurate first. Anyone with an accurate boost gauge near Redhill that I can hook up to my car temporarily? Also, during testing my undertray fell off . Is it a bad idea to drive the car without the undertray or is it OK until it rains?

My drivers side elctric window has stopped working, I have removed the door card to check the wires, and they are all connected, I can hear the black box which I assume is the relay clicking away whenever I press the button, but no movement, any ideas chaps? whats the easiest way to check/test the window motor is working?

Hey guys I finally got a few quick pics of my Z onto the net check it out at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~meaty/car.html Tell me what you think! Sean

Anyone know if there is a diagnostic to turn on the rear oil pump. Manual says it goes on at a set temp 130C (and above 75mph on the manual)and basically thats quite high. Did some fast stuff in the warm weather last week and it looks like it came on and leaked. One of the rubber pipe connections to the cooler leaked some oil onto the exhaust and rear suspension. Tightened the connections but would like to be sure its right. Otherwise emptied diff and fried diff at high speed! Gather the imports dont have this problem. Your gonna say sad git looks under his car! Well I was under to inspect the prop centre bearing which has defo sagged and I think causes transmis…

Pulled out of a junction this morning into the flow of mindless commuters only to find that when I stopped my auto box stalled on me. Its never happened before, I was thinking is it because I gave too much gas to pull out then immediately stopped?. The engine was still cold (been on for about 3 mins.). Anybody else encountered this, or is it just a one off fluke??. Tony

yep, still bleating on about this one.... the sensor that tells the speedo what to do and also screws up the power steering assistance and makes the car hesitate when you put your foot down too hard. about 80 / 90 quid from Nissan, but will a 91 UK sensor fit a 91 Jap car ? and after I've mended it.... do you want to buy it ? hmmm, after I've mended it will I really want to sell it ?
