I'm after one of these, does anybody have an old one they no longer need? Condition is not that important as i will probably paint it, no cracks though. How much do Nissan charge for a new one?

When i lift of the thottle after accelerating i am hearing a noise that sounds like a creaking door or air horn, this happened not long after i fitted a stainless steel mesh induction kit. I'm thinking that this might be a leaking pipe by the recirc valve or even the recirc valve itself, but this is just a wild stab in the dark. If this does turn out to be the recirc valve would fitting a dump valve help? Does anybody have any recommendations for BOV's, and why are they so expensive? I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for what is ultimatly nothing more than a pretty noise.

Just got their latest newsletter & for those of you haven't yet visited their invaluable site, the following snippets made me laugh, anyway ------------------------- The state of Hawaii has abandoned plans to introduce speed camera's after they were repeadedly vandalised. German drivers in Bonn were having fun last week, after almost all of the police cars were disabled after they were filled with diesel instead of petrol by the police themselves. Meanwhile in the Idaho - USA, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that its legal to drive after smoking marijuana. Whilst in the UK the Transport Research Laboratory have decided that using …

changing the brakes today and it seems the brake lines I've been supplied are all wrong in some way or another. Firsty am I right in saying that on the rear, you change the rubber hose (circled in yellow) only and still use the metal pipe that goes to the calliper? And on the front, does it matter if I miss the locator circled, as the new line is not long enough to go through it. The original line went like the line in red.

On the way back from Tony's on saturday, i developed an intermitant buzzin' from the rear end, audiable in side the car. But when you stop it only lasts a second or two to try & locate it. Car feels no differant at all, if im looking/feeling for fuel starvation etc. Its not the usual rattles & squeeks that the Z gets as i've had 'em all & cured them - LOL. Any diagnosis would be appreciated. Where is the fuel pump located anyway? Cheers....harve.

Does anyone know who owns the white Z that is on SE's catalogue? I want some pics of it but don't know where to find them. There were a few on here a long time ago. It's the one with a Stillen front, Veilside side skirts, wide arches, round rear lights and a huge wing on it's arse. I think it has some huge engine mods too.

Anyone got a ECU for UK Spec MANUAL please, smithy

Bled the clutch fluid this morning and there was a shit load of air in the system. What would cause this problem?. Is this a common problem on manual Zeds?. How would this affect performance on the car?. My Zed seems to have a lot of power there but does not seem to be as quick as it once was. It does not have the same kick at 3000 RPM. Thought that my RPS clutch may be knackered but don't know now. I would be grateful for any views guys!! Cheerz Simon H

Just got back from a weeks holiday in cryprus. Anything exciting happened? Any news on any group buys yet.( bit short on money tho.) Have the 80w bulbs come in yet who ever was ordering them. Saw some real nice spoilers fitted to some Honda's whilst out there, would look better on my 300 tho. And a bloody Nissan micra with a dump valve. Very sad but very quick.

Bloody hell, I put an add in the for sale/wanted section & someone has replied. I've been trying for the last 2 hours to see the reply but the page hasn't been updated yet! It's really frustrating.

advise on brake discs needed.I want to change the brake discs and the pads but can't afford to change the calipers for now.

My fan belt is squealing, how do I tighten the belt? which bolt tensions the belt, would I tighten it clockwise or anti clockwise?

A while back there used to be services available on the Internet that would email you when a nominated page changed. I've had a bit of a memory lapse (old age!) and can't remember the name of any of them. Can anyone help ?

Hiya Guys, I am thinking of upgrading the stock brakes in my 1991 NA Jap import, the breaking is a bit iffy and it pulls to one side on hard breaking. I am thinking about going for a set of 3Gs 20 slotted rotors front and rear and getting some steel brake lines. What pads should I get and when I change the brake fluid, which should I use as the manual says use only DOT 3. Many thanks, Kind RegardZ, Amer.

Sorry guys, but below is the transcript from mails between me and the guy doing them after i asked for an update, if anyone wants to back out, just let me know and i'll refund yer dosh, smithyFrom: To: Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 11:05 PM Subject: Re: 300ZX Panels 1-26 Were shipped TODAY ! 27-60 Will be here anytime > you are like number 30-40 on my website.... or down there somewhere.. you > panels haven't even been made yet b/cv I am waiting on the m ot get here from > nissan. > > Justin Sorry fella, but that ain't good, I WAS around number 10 on the list you published cos one of my customers pointed it to me, based on tha…

Does anyone have any advice on changing the fuel pump. Looks like a simple job. Am I likely to blow myself up, and more importantly, my Z. Thanks
