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.

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?

Hi Peeps, Was bored at work so thought I would sort out my rides section. I had forgotton how difficult it can be. Don't envy you guys who do net stuff for a living not unless you get megabucks for it. Cheers, Deano

What is the benefit of fitting one of these under drive pulleys? Seems a cheap modification but is it for real? Where do I get one from and how much? ------------------ John Newcomb www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

I have had an HKS induction kit on my Zed for a while now and wonder how you guys rate these. I did read in the tech section a while back about them being troublesome if driving in very rainy condition, making the MAS sensor play up or something. A month or so ago I was doing some motorway driving in such conditions and the car started running like shit. The sponge like filter was drenched. Is this something other intakes suffer from?. What other one do you recommend and what prices (such as Blitz etc )? Cheerz Simon H BTW My HKS filter is now quite grubby, can you clean these things and how?

While I was working at the Ideal Home Exhibition I was talking to a guy who was working on a stand called MER products. They produce all sorts of car cleaning products but there polish is supposed to be unique. The polish can be applied to the car bodywork if it is wet or dry!. They advise to leave it on for about 15 mins then buff it off. The benefit (apart from the shine) is that water just will not collect on the paintwork (much more than normal polish). So much so that in furture washing of the car you don't have to dry it. Sounds bollocks but I watched the demo this guy did and it was quite impressive. I bought a small tub the other day and will give it a go tonight …

my pipes are leakin and need replacing what size is it and how much (meters) will i need to do the lot under the bonet (flexy pipes only)
