I need new front pads. I was thinking of EBC greenstuff as they worked really well on my old 200sx. What do you guys think of green vs. red?? Which is best for everyday use? What about Ferodo? But I don't want disc-eaters!! No arguments please just some sound advice required. Many thanks in advance Robert. ------------------

Jeff, It seems you put you hands on my Z and that slight difference has gone .I did'nt think that it might have been the fuel fillter, but it looks like it was. See you soon when the parts arrive. CheerZ Ken

I just bought a nissan 300zx and the wind screen washer needs to be filled up, and i cant find where to fill it up,isn,t it under the hood or am I just stupid.

We're all in for a world of hurt now, check this out! Soon there will be a new division added to the Police forces countrywide. This new type of unit will be primarily aimed at stopping modified Japanese sports cars. If they find anything dodgey on your car then you will be served with one of these... Watch out, the Rice Police are soon to be about! ROFL Wonder who will be the first to get one??? ------------------ [This message has been edited by Timmy_Turbo (edited 11-04-2002).]

Sad to say but I still have the crappy stock air filter. How long should they last when driving mainly on crappy country roads? Waht are the sympoms of them starting to become blocked?

ASS HAIR I have recently made a mistake in my life, and I offer my story to all though tasteless, that you may learn from my error. It all started, as many things do, with me having trouble pooping. No, I was not constipated; this was not a regularity problem but a matter of technique. It seems my ass-hair had grown to such a length that tiny grogans were constantly getting tied up in the matted jungle between my asscheeks. It led to much frustration, with me KNOWING that I still had something to drop, but unable to shake the tenacious turd loose from its butthair dwelling. Eventually I would have to do two things: either reach down with somepaper and try…

I have had trouble with this TC since day 1. It has never worked correctly, well for no more than a few mins. My passenger front ABS signal is not being picked up. I have changed it to a newer one, with no difference. The ABS diag says nothing wrong, and to test if that was working, I disconnected the sensor and went for a drive. With in a few yards the ABS light came on and signalled no passenger front signal. So this means the diag is working and that a signal is reaching it from the front passenger ABS. This means that the TC is not getting the signal from the ABS unit. Which means either, A: Bad wiring. B: Bad TC unit. I am no genius with wireing but a…

Hi, I have had the steering stiffen up on me intermittently and the other day I was thrashing it, came to a corner and it became really stiff, it nearly caused me to change my undercrackers! I have heard there are speed sensors on the gearbox that can go, I have checked the PS fluid and that is full. Any Ideas would be gratefully received! Mark

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get wheel ramps that will go under the spoiler of a Z and will fit 225 wheels? All the Best, Mark

Blimey, I advertised my Supra on the GTO Site and I couldn't believe at the childish response I received. Bezerk! If you're interested then check out: http://www.gtouk.com/ Go to Message Board, Classifieds - For Sale, Supra For Sale Peter

Right, my gearbox has started to play up - it is a bit jerky between gears. Would this be a good time to purchase a warranty, would I get away with claiming for a box & anyone know any good places to get one from.

Hi all, I tried to run the auto diagnostics as advised yesterday, ignition on, into 1st, O/D off, depress accelerator and release - nothing happened :-( Am I doing it wrong or do I assume that the test circuit isn't working....? Cheers, RobH

can anyone tell me if there's somewhere on the internet where I can find out what the part number is for the top radiator hose (top left as you leek at the engine bay from the front) it's split and I'm about to limp to the local nissan dealer and really want to avoid the usual £25 fee to see if its the same part on my import as a UK model ??

Guys, I've got here a set of 4 pulleys from Courtesyparts.com. The water pump and crank pulley are fine - but the alt and p/s pulleys are completely the wrong offset (arse). According to Bob @ Courtesy, the US Zeds have different p/s pumps and alternators - and they (possibly) don't do a set that'll fit the 1991 UK TT. Is this true? Will a pulley set from a different American model fit a 91 UK TT Z??? Any thoughts are much appreciated Cheers ------------------ Simon
