Hi Guys, does anyone have or know where I can get a full set of wheel nuts and studs for my 1991 NA, yep all 20. Tyre people have progressively nackered all my studs and nuts and now most of them are always loose. many thanks, Amer.

Does anyone know if someone makes a turbo (psi) guage that would fit into the lower slot below the radio. I want one that has a black background and white numbers, a red needle to match the main dash instruments would be even better. I have a turbo timer and soon a boost controller so I think there should be just enough space for one guage by the side of them. Any ideas? ------------------ John Newcomb www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

I am considering not buying a 300zx now. I went to the Nissan dealership and they said that 300zx's are very expensive to maintain, they said that bearings would cost a minimum of £500!!! Is this true? I know a japanese import it would be expensive for part, but is it the same for a UK car??

Can anyone tell me how I paste in a JPEG image when replying to a message on this forum. I'm an I.T. Contractor by trade, so I suppose I should know really, but rather than waste hours working it out, I thought it best to ask instead. Thanks AndyZ

I'm having problems dowloading pix from my camera to my c drive. I can download to d drive though. I get the error message"cannot download to this location. Either the disk is read only, the selected device is not ready, or the disk is full" I used to be able to download to c - any ideas?? Cheers Vijay

OK guyZ we all know how left out our better/worse halfs feel when we spend most waking moments on here or the car... My proposition is this.... They get their own forum to whinge, have a laugh with others of the same species they have met at meets, plot against us etc etc etc... Is this a good idea or will they want the keys to the car next??? Give them an inch and they take a mile blah blah... What d'ya reckon fellaz??? CheerZ, Andy ------------------

I've just posted this in the tech forum by mistake, sorry! Just had a bit of a scrap with about 8 superbikes down the A30 between the M25 and the Crooked Billit roundabout, i got my arse kicked as i knew i would, but i think my little baby gave them a bit of a shock! I have no idea how fast i was going as i couldn't take my eyes off the road, well over a ton though. I got a couple of nods of approval from them as we pulled up at the lights which was nice. Man i'm still buzzing now! God i love my Zed.

Well at long last the mags out with the rolling road day in, good to see the faces behind the names of the forum, Warren's really famous now with a spread in there of him and car, quite nice, shame about the stickers on MY hard pipes warren. cheers smithy

Hallo all, this is a really completeist, pedantic post and a particularly nit-picky question. We have discovered that the DVLA figures about how many 300ZXs are registered in the UK are wrong. Somewhere between the street and your V5, they make big mistakes about what your car is - I suspect many of you have been registered as a Z31. Not having the correct figures is a) irritating and b) doesn't help negotiations with suppliers like insurance people. Me, I am not going to get involved with suppliers - that's for others - but I would like to know how many of us there are. I reckon this forum has a significant fraction of all 300ZXs in the UK which …

anybody heard of this firm based in st'helens apparently they do the 300zx for middlehurst am thimking of taking my car there 2 be sorted after nelson fucked it up, im hope'ing it has a good reputation!!!!

Whilst fitting my lowering springs today my drivers side rear shock gave out a nasty hissing sound & fired out a bit of fluid so it needs replacing. Has anyone got one lying around going cheap as I'm a bit skint to be buying new ones at the mo. Cheers Jay

Anyone know off the top of their swede how much the rubbers that run the A-pillars, T-tops etc. cost to replace? I'm gonna ring Nelson tomorrow but if anyone can give me a rough idea before then I might sleep better tonight and talk Z talk all day tomorrow!!! LOL ------------------

Finally fitted my lowering springs matey, so if you still want the old ones they're yours. Mail me your address & I'll get them to you. Jay

My mechanic said that its possible to use the same system as the Skyline does. That is: From 0..60Km or something 4-wheel drive and then from 60...and over 2-wheel drive. I want to know if anyone attempt to do this before. What u think about it?
