Hi, I have got a Z tuned up by Kakimoto Racing in Japan (I have wondered if the name was some sort of Japanese joke on us Westerners), and the bloke who sold it to me didn't know what was done to it! I have had a good look around it, and it has these bits on it, Kakimoto racing exhaust (too loud for me) HKS Dump Valves, Central20 Racing Chip, HKS EVC control, Greddy Boost Gauge, Upgraded clutch, Air Intake, Turbo timer, Is there anyway I can tell if it has any further upgrades, without ripping the engine to bit? All the best, Mark,

Hi, I have been hit up the Ass twice now in the Banger Z I have got, and have got the hump, specially with the last bird to have done it, who got out and started blaming me!! Anyway I remember somebody doing an article on bacofoiling the a brakelight and can anyone remember who did it. Also can I increase the wattage of the bulbs, without blowing any fuses? Cheers, Mark

Hi, Going to put the Z in a garage and pull it out for special days(and the Z!!), and I was thinking of getting another motor.Unfortunately it will have partial banger status because I am going to be knocking around London in it, and I mean knocking. I was looking for suggestions regarding alternative cars for about 2 grand, I would like something a little bit sporty, preferably 4 doors, and maybe a hatchback. I thought of the golf GTI 16v and maybe an old 5 series BMW, does anyone know of the equivalent forum for these cars? Anyway has anyone got any suggesstions? All the Best, Mark

Sorry guys only got off the plane at 11.00 am yesterday. Jet lag nad BA I hate you! Will be back on later 2nite too catch up on the the bitching that no doubt has been going on! Bloody Zeds got a seized front caliper! FFS Can u get a seal kit from nissan UK?? Mac catch u on MSN later!

graham, came over this morning to fix it up for us. Tell ya what those old pipes were a right c**t to get off! The hose he bought is green though . Oh well. There was a split in the small line that goes from the bottom of the valve thingy back left (from front). Replaced all lines. It was much easier to start after that and no more smell. The line under the throttle linkage is a right little bastard to get at. Will have to do that one when it has the timing belt done.

Just removed both front discs and there down to 24mm which the manual says is the minimum. Anybody skimmed thier's down to that size or should I put them in the bin and get another pair..... Cheer's Angelus angels@bawn.fsworld.co.uk

ive just been looking at your rides and noticed the gap on your new nose cone(the gap near the wheels)how did u sort this out as i have the same front and when i put the bumper on it didnt fit right and i also have a gap.thanks jay

Had an RPS clutch put on my Zed about a year and a half ago. Did this because the stock clutch could not handle the upgrades I have on the car. The clutch has not performed at best over that time and seems to be getting worse. It seems now to be slipping. I am very pissed off as this RPS clutch was not cheap. I need to now which is the best clutch to go for and how much it would be. Also would it be advisable to put a new flywheel on. Would a stock flywheel be ok. I would be greatful for any advice as I am going to get one this week. Cheerz Simon H

Hi folks, I'm trying to find out the part number for a splash guard that screws up underneath the front of the car (the front one that connects to the front spoiler) but I'm not sure where to start looking. Any ideas? Thanks, -Stu

Had a nasty shock the other day when I saw a few spots of oil on the drive! Closer inspection revield a smothered uderside! After much cleaning and serching revieled a corroded oil pipe. The pipe comes from the oil cooler at the front of the car. you have to trace the rubber pipes from the top of the cooler down to where the hard pipe joins. Mine had corroded right on the bend and was weeping oil. To make matters worse it must be the most awkward thing to change on the car as there in no room to get to it( if you have a look you will see what I meen!) I suggest that you spend half an hour or so checking thi out! ------------------

hi, i'm looking to purchase a 300zx and would like it if anyone could let me know if there is anything i should be looking out for as i have never owned one before. the car is a UK spec 1991 300ZX TT, man, 55K miles, 17"s, cruise, leather, cd, a/c, e/w, e/m, FSH & hpi, Private plates also. what sort of price should i be looking at?? thanks in advance Martyn

Finally got round to doing an ECU diagnostic following couple of weeks worth of random coolant boiling and subsequent discharge... Cleaned coolant temp sensor but no joy, but ECU is giving me code 13, so this confirms the thing is phucked. I know how to do it, I know the part number and I know the rough price (£20-£25?) but cos its an import, will Nelson still want to line their pockets with an additional £25 just to get me the price?? Or cos I know exactly what I want, can I avoid the ludicrous fee? The part number I have btw is from the Courtesy website so will this apply to this country also, or will this just be US? In short, where can I get one sharpish, a…

Well after how ever many months of sitting at home and having to listen to the 'happy talk' that goes on on this forum, I can quite happily say, I will not be coming on here again and nor do I want anything to do, anymore, with the shit that flies about here because of minor comments made that seem to be taken much too seriously by some parties. (Long sentence). I tried to join in with Mr T at first and really enjoyed it and was looking forward to going to loads of meets and if situation permitted, Billing. But to be quite honest, anyone who manages to talk technical stuff on here and gets a result good luck to you, afterall isn't what this forum is supposed to be abou…
