My auto box seems to be playing up recently - when I accelerate it has a bit of lag before the power kicks in. Could it be that the torque convertor is slipping, or that something else is wrong?? Any ideas?? Jay

I was coming down the M1 on Thursday in the middle lane just about to pass a recycling container truck on the insdide lane. Next thing I know some shit flies off the back of the container and hits the front of my car. I pull over, see the damage, then chase after him to pull hum over. I show him the damage and he says sorry, don't worry it will be sorted, so he writes down the name and number of his manager and said just phone him and explain what happened, so I thought no problem I'll do that. I ring the guy and he says he'll have to speak to his driver and assures me I won't be fobbed off. I rang him about 3 times that day and he keeps telling me he can't contact his dr…

Hi guys. Just recently the radiator fan has taken to running all the time, even at cold start up. Water level is correct, the sensor conections were cruddy so I cleaned them to no avail. Also, temperature has been erratic. Any bright ideas please?

Saw a black 300 in preston the other day with split rims and an hks exhaust. Bit rusty mind! just wondered who's it was

No, it's not a reference to the Z headlights. If you want to see your Z in a whole new light use a torch at night to inspect into the deepest recesses of the engine bay and under the car etc. You see stuff you can not see in daylight. I can read the S/no off my turbos. Try doiing that in daylight even with a torch! Hope it helps...

I thought I'd try a 0-60 dash on my Z. Loaded the car to 4k dropped the clutch, rear wheels squeal a bit, revs go up deep into the red zone 7500+, and i'm going nowhere! Clutch slipping like mad. Rip into 2nd , hit redline and clutch still slipping. I'm doing maybe 15mph now. Then the smell of the burning clutch. Oh bu^$er! Then i try the launch control. Set to 3500 revs the engine bogs a bit but clutch grips and I'm away. So my RPS clutch needs a wee bit of attention me thinks! There is no adjustment right?

Anyone know if there is a way to get scratches off a windscreen. After waiting about 2 months to get windscreen from japan got it fitted. Next week after, the fucker froze so i scrapped it with an ice scraper and scratches appeared right in front of vision. Bloody annoying or what! Really show up in this sunlight.

Very strange this. 50% of start ups, the volts read 10.5 on charge while in motion. (i've the extra guages in ctr console added!) The other 50% of start ups & runs 13/14 volts going back to battery as is right. Is it a brush problem - alternator fubar! or is there a resistance test i can do on a hot or cold alternator to give another reason? It doesn't matter hot start or cold it seams only to charge 50% of the time, - if it diddn't work i'd buy another one simple. Any ideas, buddies. harve

Do any of the groupbuys actually result in anything on this forum. Just wandering cos there was one on dash insert kits and another with dials a while back which alot of people were interested in, but never seemed to go any where. Any details?

You have mail (the postal variety too)

Went out at lunchtime for a cruise around the town centre to observe the local 'talent' and listen to some new sounds in the motor, (targas off of course!), only to find every man and his dog is driving around in topless cabrios etc. Anybody else notice the same where your living?. There seems to be an influx of topless Porsche boxters around here also. I followed a red 'G-reg' 300ZX on thursday going out of town towards Chilworth (clean your dirty zed!!). Anyone on here?. Tony
