im trying 2 work out why they call the brookside garage at cemaes bay 'nelson' can anyone tell me??? my car has been there for over three weeks having new turbo's fitted really miss my car over easter expecially when i saw one at min y don on anglesey l reg i think red with bobby on the nu plate really nice

i have a complete set of rear lights available off a 1990tt uk spec and in good condition if anyone out there is intrested.

Chaps, Picked up me F355 replica on Friday (based on mr2 turbo). V-nice. I'll get some pics together as soon as I can. I am finding the ride VERY harsh though, bouncing around all over the place.... but....I have discovered it has Tein Type-HA adjustable shocks. Does ne1 know how to adjust the damping on them? There is a 22mm hex nut (with a small allen key screw in the centre) on the top of every shock)....Or...a specialist who knows how to set these up. My Z is sat doing nothing at the moment. As soon as my insurance company pull there finger out I can hand it over to Jeff for breaking. Its not written off but they are deciding whether to repair it …

hmmm......Batman says yes!!! Those wheels are nice and the Border type vents on the wings. Trev

------------------ I'm 300ZDING across the Universe, only going forward cause i cant find revearse :D

Top Man, Danny, thanks and well done Thanks also to Glen, Craig, Andy who had me drive faster on 4 wheels in the UK than before (Glen forced us to take the tops off which meant a visit from Captain Paranoia as I couldn't hear the engine -what was it doing down there?). (Whimper) Everyone else - what a nice bunch of peeps you all were/are. A few pics can be found here. Nice one boys and girls - and full marks to Danny http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~webster/IXLA/Solihull02/page1.htm ------------------

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who made the effort to come to the Easter Meet in Solihull. It was fantastic to see so many Zeds in one place and to meet all of you. I'm also really greatful to the weather Gods for being nice to us today! At last count, we had a grand total of 32 Zeds and 52 people in attendance from all over the country! I hope you all made it back home safely. I'm looking forward to seeing all the pics and vids that people took. My pics will be up after Monday when I get them developed and scanned. Many thanks and see you at the next one! Danny PS - Ken/Shrek: Glad to hear your ring is safe and sound mate. I'…

Phew, just a couple more. Nice shot of the rear of the pack, notice the nice donut tyre tracks left. (cool) Here's a small lineup of the front of the cars, had to get mine & Craig's in of course ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk brave-orchid.co.uk

My Z developed a small problem today. When I blip the accelerator (in neutral or 1st gear) the revs actually go down about 500rpm before going up to where they should be. eg. 3000rpm. The revs only go down for half a second, but theres obviously something wrong. Does anyone have any ideas. 10% discount to anyone who guesses right :-) (I sell Z parts in case you're wondering) Thanks AndyZ

Had a great day out, well done to Danny for sorting it. Here's some pics of the day for you to enjoy. Lots of cars turned up Hmm, someones been giving their engine a bit of a polish OK, who brought the CAT!! Ahh, it somehow drove itself, and is returning to it's car. More to follow ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk brave-orchid.co.uk [This message has been edited by crazy_eddie (edited 30-03-2002).]

"32 ZZZZZsssss" Well done Danny,you've pulled a big one off today.Had a great day look forward to the next one. P.S got home and the wedding ring was on the sink DOH!! Well done Ken

hey guys, a quick question, on the coolant bottle thats behind the wheelarch panel there is a pipe connected to the bottom of the bottle, at the top of the bottle there is a small hole, should this also have a pipe on it?. cheers.

speedo doesn't work, just sits at zero. near side head light (not the one below the bumper) not working. power steering too light once I've got some speed. and... a few times recently the power light has been flashing as I turn the ignition key. but worse of all at 6500 rpm the whole bloody lot says no more and just refuses to give any more power..... could this be safety boost ? any help would be really appreciated......

WANTED REAR CENTRE LENS PANEL FOR UK CAR (THE PANEL WITH THE REVERSING LIGHTS IN) MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION. E-MAIL ADDRESS IS: tomfanchamps@hotmail.com

I cannot get the 12mm screws out that hold the headlight in. When you get past the air filter section they are the ones that are nearest to the Radiator, i.e. furthest away from the front of the car. I have tried to get all sorts of spanners etc in that tight space but cannot get enough turn to start to unwind the nuts. Is there some kind of special tool or something that you guys (Jeff TT) know of to get in there? I have even bought a palm ratchet but still cannot get my hand in there to turn it. Grant

hi guys i might as well ask but does anyone know where i can get a second hand paul bailey front and rear bumper to fit the standard body ( without the massive arches )its a 2+2 1990 300zx tt whish me luck!!!!

Hiya all, It seems to me that me 'Z' lacks power. It's running bob on though no roughness or noises. I've done an ECU diag got code 55 so all OK there. Just recently had a new Straight through exhaust on from cat back. How do you tell if your cats are ok I thought maybe they're shagged restricting the gases maybe. Also if I'm in safety boost would it display anything on the ECU diag?? Anybody know where I can take it to be looked at bearing in mind I live in Lancashire near Lancaster... cheerzzz

I broke it ! I was trying to get at the stereo, so I took out the 2 screws at the top vents, pulled the bar off above the stereo, to find there was only 1 screw on the left, the one on the right didnt even have the metal fixing behind it. So anyway I took the one screw out. Pulled the top, it came away about 3cm. It wouldnt come out any further. So I went to put it back and it wouldnt. The left hand side slipped nicely back into place but the right is stuck out, wont even go back using brute force . Any ideas folks? Oh and how are you supposed to pull it out? I think its something to do with the vents cos i can push it back in above the stereo but the top sect…

Is it possible to drain the coolant without getting her up onto a ramp.
