Don't suppose any of the guys (or gals) who break cars have any S/H tuning bits? I am looking for blow off valves, turbo timer and (if pos.) electronic boost controller. Just a thought.

Well - decided to take the car to be MOTed yesterday. It's due in the end of May but I thought I'd get a head start. I've been to this small garage twice before now for my Rover and he seemed ok. Took the Z - for the first 5 minutes he proceded to ask me "why I had bought a piece of shit like that" and how shit he thought they were. I thought, thats rich coming from a Renault Espace driver. Anyway, got my justice when he headed butted my front tyre after slipping on the tyre shine spray. I nearly pissed myself but thought better of it incase he failed me on something silly. Anyway, it did fail on 2 things. 1 was a worn "Pre Load Rubber". Haven't checke…

Alas unable to afford the insurance for both the Jag and the Z. Just had the renewale notice from Tesco and it stated the car had no mods. I queried this with the little boy on the phone and he said that I had been driving the car illegally for the past year as I had not disclosed the mods. I was fucking mad with him because I queried the same thing last year when the policy arrived and was told that the mods I had made no difference as I had not fitted them myself. Anyway they now want £1200 for a years protected full no claims as opposed to £780 I paid last year. Compare this to the £265 I pay fully comp for my 4 litre Jag and you will see the reason why I have told the…

Finally spotted my first Z32 on the road (not including meets). Gave they guy a wave and he waved back (usually get strange looks when waving to fellow owners). Anyone here? ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk brave-orchid.co.uk

3 times today my car stalled while I was slowing down. If I rev the car to 2,000 or so for a min and then let off it almost stalls. And today while I was stopping for traffic and once while slowing down for a corner. Any Ideas? Stuart

Has anybody out there got or know where I can get my hands on the door window rubber seals (both sides) Cause mine are both shot. Cheers Angelus

Just been caught speeding on the M11. Bastards measured from shadow under one bridge to next bridge and worked out at average of 100.1mph. Just 0.1 over enough to be banned. My first offence and i'm going to court. Any ways of getting away with disqualification would be grateful. Might have to sell the beloved z.

just bought a non turbo 300 and when the car is cold and the choke is on the guage sits about the 6 mark but as soon as it warms up the guage returns almost to the 0 mark, is this normal , otherwise the car is fantastic, thanks .

hey everyone, i've just got back from my first santa pod experience. would have been quality if it wernt so damn cold. or if i had a car to race with. there were probably more zx's there than any other group of cars , about 5 0r 6 i think, a load of 200sx's and a couple of skyline's evo's were the quickest cars, although a R33 skyline ran 12.5 the zx's seemed a bit slow, kept running in the 15's region - i think basically all the 4*4 cars were the best. GT4's were all good, every time running high 13's, there was one pulsar gtir and that was pretty good 13.31!! i think the best ZX was a black one, with number plate ??? SGT i think, that was real …

Just thougth id tell you that Aldi currently have a special offer of a car first aid kit. But this aint any ordinary one, it has a pic of a 300ZX on in . Would be an ideal addition to any zed, especially for those cuts and grazes while working under the hood Its 6.99 btw

i am going to look at a '90 TT manual tomorrow. The mileage is 120k, the car is a uk model, leather..blah blah blah. Does anyone know of anything in particular that i should look out for with the car at this mileage. i used to own a rover V8 and this sort of mileage means nothing for an engine of that size, but for the nissans i am not so sure when factoring in turbo useage. Any tips or comments are welcome. cheers Steve

anyone know if wheels from a cavalier 1993 will fit a clio 1992 or where i can find out.

I've got Japanese split rim alloys off a jap import. Heavy fisted tyre fitter managed to smack the top nut of the valve off when removing tyre!!! The part is 'L' shaped, nobody in South West has one, all UK alloys seem to have straight ones?? Anybody got one, had this problem or know where to get them???? Do you even know what I'm on about??? I do have picture if anybody thinks they know what I'm on about... cheerz

I'm after R 33 Rotors & Calipers for my Z32. Any one got these or know where I could look??? Jan..

I have recently put a deposit down on a 91 TT manual which is being imported from japan. I have been reading the forums and came across the issue that the imports can be a problem to insure. I am 33 and have full no-claims. i had already contacted norwich union and they gave me a quote of about 600-700 for fully comp. however i never thought of saying about it being an import. can anyone advise? or say where they get there insurance from if they own an import? cheers Steve

Glenn...oiiiiiiiii noooooooooooo, don't do it mate! Kids don't fit in the back anymore an' all that pavlova! What are you doing my friend? I've seen a GTO with a baby seat in the back, and today? Ohhh man the icing on the cake as to why you should never sacrifice the one thing in life that you TRULY love and worship with all your heart! Pulled up at Tesco and the most gorgeous car, Aston Martin Vantage DB-7! Now firstly answer me this? How the fuck, fuck, fuck can motoring journalists compare that to the Jag XK-8??? What the fuck do they see that I don't??? Beggers me beyond belief! Anyway, Mrs T says "park next to it!" and I'm like "yeah right!" in me sc…

Picked up my Z today from GlennS, Lovely ride I am much impressed by this car, it was a lovely journey home except for the sun being behind a clound and some silly old sod in an Escort with a flat cap on trying to ram in the back of me TWICE on the turnoff to M25 from M23, Speed is mind boggling as you all know, I havn't pushed it much above the ton mark yet but it gets there quick :O) 148miles on half a tank of petrol, wish me luck guys whilst I tame the dragon Mike

I have a challenge for you, scince i got my z it has made a droning noise from the rear wheels (directly related to road speed) it wasnt too loud at first but its really bloody loud now and doing my head in. I will gladly drive it anywhere for someone who knows their shit to have a look at it and if anyone can fix it ill shower them with money and gifts.

Is this right? Look at the two bolts on the bell housing, one had a bolt and a nut and the top one had just a bolt! I did notice that there was a groove on the bell housing, presumably made by a nut! Jesus it's scarey! ------------------

I bought my car from a dealer who imports the cars from japan, he had two a red and a blue, i bought the blue but my log book says red, chasis no is correct, but colour is not. I sent a 3 page letter to dvla explaining what had happened and that as far as im aware the dealer has managed to get the blue one registered as red and vice versa. I told them that i wanted my log book to say blue but NOT to log it as a colour change (the simpler option) as i didnt want to fuck up my resale value. They have now written to me to tell me that all the paperwork appears to be in order and that i have to take my car to the registration office on thursday morning at 8.40am to be inspect…

Ok guys, I have had an oil leak for a while now, tracked it down to the oil pressure sensor and just thought I'd post up some pics of my new one. Reason being that a few Z chums I've tried to describe this to have had problems picturing what I've been on about. Here you go... New sensor, still leaking! FFS! P.S. sorry if the pics are wank, still getting to grips with me new camera! Have sussed it since! ROFL ------------------ [This message has been edited by Timmy_Turbo (edited 13-04-2002).]
