As I sit here eating 'dinner', I wondered if anyone else isn't exactly cordon-bleu when they're home alone. Two sausage rolls, a pack of doritos, 6 chocolate teacakes and a tin of chopped tomato, 4 bottles of Blandford Fly (great stuff). Dave

I have just had a full system made (cats removed) and fitted by Ascar in Sheffield on my swb Z32 - not sure it's a 'performance' one but it looks great and sounds great, and came with a 25 year guarantee for less than £500 inc vat (took a full day so saw lots of Sheffield town centre) The fitter is called John.

Looking at getting one of these and just wanted to know if they are any good. http://www.screwfix.com/shop_product.html?1495 I know there was a post a while back where someone was using one (I think it was Latz). How do they work? is it just pressured water with a detergant? Thanks Vijay

Anybody know where I can a set of Brembo drilled front discs from? Enquired at Brembo Notrh America but the shipping was dearer than the discs!!

The clock that shows the time of posts is fast. I just posted at 7:24 and when I next looked two minutes later the forum said I'd posted at 7:30. I therefore calculated that it was now 7:32 and I hadn't switched on Eastenders. This caused significant stress. Please correct this immediately or I will not pay you any more money.

1990 RED JAP IMPORT 300ZX AUTO WITH LOW MILEAGE. Very clean throughout with a nice upgraded sound system, in-car boost controller, racing exhaust sytem (and possibly upgraded ecu) and turbo timer. Black leather interior and MPH dials. The owner now needs to desperatly sell this car now due to financial difficulties. Bargain at only £4000 no offers. You can see pics of it in my rides section. Bare in mind though, the car now has 17" split rims.

Hi Guyz, I dunno what you think but I have noticed a problem with my car. If I move the steering wheel I can see the front wheels moving too. Should I be worried??? CheerZ, Andy ------------------

There are some strange people about. http://www.extremeironing.com/~eib/ei/homepage/main.php What this needs, I think, is someone to go ironing up the strip. Or on a trackday. Or something. Must get some zeds in there somehow! ------------------

Hi, I am considering getting a bodykit for the convertible, but I have seen some I've liked on websites, when I saw them on a car, they weren't my cup of tea! Really I am asking are there any kits out there, that people have had experience of and thought they rubbish, good or indifferent, fit, quality wise etc.. Also is there anybody out there around the London/Surey area that has a bodykit fitted, that I could have a Butchers at, to see if I like the look of it? All the best, Mark

so i dont hijack nitro's thread any further i've started my own. do any of you chaps have a good st or amiga emulator and the game elite for sale....before you techies bombard me with websites and stuff i need them on cd as ive tried many times to download them and failed

I've got a manual Jap import 300zx and have developed a starter motor problem. The starter notor turns on ignition but doesn't turn the engine over, presuming it's a sticking solenoid? Are the starter motors and solenoids easy to get hold of and if so does anybody know the part numbers, in case i need them.

I've ordered that hub for you, had to get it delivered to me though.

cheers. My Biturbo is for sale if you know someone who wants it. £13k,91j, 2 owners, 50,000 miles,new price c£70k 188mph 400 bhp nuff said. Some sort of lairy 911 is going to replace it. a friend of mine posted this to me if anyone is interested let me know and i'll pass the details

Going to have a go at changing the rear shocks on my car tomorrow night. Is this a fairly straight forward job to do?. Is there anything specific I should know ( tools required etc). Are there any tech notes on how to do this procedure?. I can't find one on ttnet. I would be grateful for any thoughts or comments guys. Cheerz Simon H

I know your a fellow vibes sufferer so i thought id let you know that i think ive found mine, when driving it with the wheels off i could hear the loud noise comming from the n/side hub the sound is comming from the c.v and when you look at the driveshaft its not spinning true so im gonna replace the driveshaft and cv get it 4 wheel alligned and cross my fingers. Can you recomend anywhere that does driveshafts in the midlands area? Good luck with your vibe hunting! B19RKS

I played mechanic today, took the wheels off my z and ran it on axle stands, i was worried that the prop was knackered as the noise and vibration im getting is louder than my stereo, Anywayran the car on axle stands, vibes still there so i got my brother to sit in it and take it to 60kmph the noise was really loud at the near side hub and silent at the offside ive nailed the sound to the nearside rear c.v joint and the driveshaft attached to it is clearly not spinning true. Im chuffed ive found the problem now all ive got to do is fix it! Jeff TT if your out there anywhere what are you like at changing driveshafts/c.v's (still got to get the steering boots done too!)

Whenever I search Entire Message I get a timed out error. The only thing I CAN search is Subject Only. Is it my connection or the server? [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 29-04-2002).]

well i have to say these 2 cars are the maddest ive ever seen. if anyone is interested in the purple kit i can import them specially from japan but be warned the kit would cost £2500 to get here as it is custom built in Japan to order. Takes about 3mnths from start to finish to get here but as far as im aware NOONE in the UK has it.

hey bud, im not in habit of stealing peoples kits idea but i need an under rear spoiler and yours is best ive seen. Is it off the stillen kit or is it different? Either way i want 1!!!!!! my 300zx if full kitted xept for a rear underspoiler and i want new mad sideskirts. cheers for the alloy info ill phone them asap
