I saw a black 300zx on M1 coming south near jct21 Leicester. It had loads of flash graphics over it inlcuding a massive yellow HKS up the side. Is this a demo car or what? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John Newcomb (NukeEm) www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

Does the wiper link between the motor and the wiper arms include the plastic bits that pop onto the motor (I think that may be refered to as seals) or do they need to be bought seperately? When fitting do you need to grease the inside of the plastic bits, and if so with what type of grease. My wiper link popped off last night while driving past an HGV is the pissing rain. Lost all visibility when the wipers stopped. PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anybody know where i can buy a pre made vent for my front nose cone?I am having vents cut for my intercoolers and was going to just use mesh on the inside of the bumper

ok, i was wondering if anyone new anyone or anywhere to get my japanese documents translated. i have got a load of service document type thingys that i cant read for plop. i think ive got a load of documents that are the jap equivalent of MOT's - except they are every 2 years instead of 1. ive also got that 'Jasma' certificate that says the exhaust system is ok - except ive got 2. - one has HKS on it and the other has Zees. so not sure what the crack is there. Just wondering if anyone could read japanese or perhaps knows somewhere i can take my stuff. anyone? cheers, BEn.

probably a stupid question, but better to be safe. When getting the car up on 4 axle stands, is it as easy as lift the front and put in on stands. Then lift the back and put in on stands. I just have this horrible thought of the car moving when the front's already up and I'm lifting the rear. Cheers Vijay

Hi peeps, need a bit of help identifying a strange extendable, telescopic type aerial thingy with some kind of green light at the tip? Messing about this afternoon trying to fix my eratic idling again on my 91 Z TT (jap) and as you do, started to remove the n/s indicator lens ( dont ask!), anyway, attached to the front n/s fog light, inside the spoiler, was this contraption looking a bit broken on the telescopic shaft bit where it joins the motor body and a black and white wire hanging by fresh air. It was also disconnected so pushed the two block connecters together and it started to extend to about 12 inches???? If it was connected to the fog bracket the way it was, the…

Spotted light blue Z with round rear lights and blacked out windows at around 5.30pm on the A61 heading towards Sheffield.

Right ladies, have any of you got one or had the opportunity to play with one? Boost controller I mean, not a real girl! LMFAO After much humming and ha-haaaing over boost I have decided not to have a fixed jet install but go for something more flexi. I like the Blitz but there's a sort of Darth Vader presence about the GReddy, looks like Lord Invaders flashing light panel on his chest plate!!! ROFL Here's a pic... Someone mentioned, I think, that the new Blitz is 32 bit whereas the GReddy is 16 bit but uses fuzzy bear logic. Does the Blitz use fuzzy??? TIA ------------------ [This message has been edit…

Well I suppose after almost two years of happy daily motoring things are going to start to go west. It looks like my starter motor is now playing up, when turning the key it sometimes makes a terrible noise and smoke starts coming from the top right hand side of the engine (looking from the front). Is this a case of its fooked? Anyone know how much for a new one or would a second hand one do the job? Are there any differences between the different models (auto/man, LWB,SWB etc). Second problem, my HICAS light came on a couple of week ago and today (yes I know) I filled up with ATF. I stuck it in the round thing at the front left of the engine (looking from front…
