ok. does anyone know ought about zed convertibles. i fancy getting one. not sure if the price you have to pay is worth it though. ive seen a 92 for about 800,000yen and a real nice black 94 for around a cool mil. sadly that translates into £10,000 otr price in england. not sure if that is worth it or not? still be nice in the summer? has anyone ever seen a Zed convertible? whats the crack? ben.

We all know that the stock Turbo gauge is bad, but how good is the stock oil pressure gauge? Mines going up and down all over the place. I know about the pressure sender unit, but I was wondering if a new pressure gauge will help. Dont fancy spending £80+VAT for the sender unit. Stuart

After 34 button presses and a !hour and 2 minute wait i finally got through to the NTL customer services Where Technology is tammed!! Just need to have a moan, am on broadband and i keep losing my connection, at one stage i even dialed up using the preastoric dial up modem just to get on the net. Broadband was good, but is going down hill rapidlly, i dont think they can cope with the amount of users, but still they sell the service, 512Ks, geez, bing bong bing bong hey first time on my dial up!!!!!!!!!! ------------------

All the details here :- http://strictlyz.com/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=1142&ps_session=5bab64273e72f035096244d13836e81e US $225 as a group buy thing .... Look like they fit a bit better than the Stillen style ones.

Any of you Zedders got a Mettalic Black motor? Problem is that i've been trying to touch up the stone chips on the front bumper today....after much motorway miles and being stuck behind gritters in the winter! Just wanted to know if anyone has a decent paint match from the Halfords type aerosols. Tried BMW Cosmos Black thinking it was a good match, but it still a shade too light. Nissan Kuro Black is perfect, except it's not a metallic finish! Cheerz

OSAMA BIN LADEN JPG, IN MY RIDES

This is what had to be done to fit these babys Caliper split and alloy spaced,in order to fit 35mm discs and pads inside,Mounting holes resized and moved 5mm down to fit stock bolts straight on,these now bolt straight on the factory mounts,a nice pair of kevlar pads priced at £180 should be with me tomorrow,so I can now refit them . ------------------ [This message has been edited by MAC 1 (edited 26-04-2002).]

Anyone got a pic of a silver Z with wide arches and the Strosek round rear light conversion? I have blacked out my current rear lights and they look really mean but I like the round ones on some cars but not so sure on others. Johnny ginger's looks superb and I think it suits the wide arches (which i'm getting) better than standard ones. Time for a vote!

Can anyone tell me a good quality disk and pads which are easily avaliable at a reasonable price EG disks under a £100 each and i would prefer ones that actually stop me not like the ones that i have at the moment.

Ohaye yup! Phoned the number in a previous thread and spoke to a guy called Gareth, as recommended by MCZX. Said to him I had another car and wanted to insure a modified imported 300zx Twin Turbo on limited mileage classic policy. Told him I had always driven on my fathers policy so had zero No Claims Discount. Told him I had expensive alloys, kit, GReddy Zorst and HKS Induction. Told him I would limit miles to 3000 and it was garaged and not used for work. Top bloke, called me back within half an hour and result: Fully Comp, 0 NCD : £475 Kerrching - I thank you! Thats cool, I can now get a unichip as NU-Direct only allowed 3 m…

Does anybody know / own one of the Ecotec "things" which claim to increase fuel economy ? Are they a load of twaddle or not ? Opinions, please. Herman [This message has been edited by Herman Munster (edited 25-04-2002).]

And it has 16" wheels. 2nd gear accelerating up to 6000rpm and barely caught up... into 3rd gear and accelerated quickly to 6000rpm and made no progress... WTF...this thing must have one hell of a turbo bolted on? I've only moved 50 yards in two gear changes. DOH! Fried the clutch disc without trying RIP RPS clutch disc Steve [This message has been edited by Steve E (edited 25-04-2002).]
