MOT due in early April. New backboxes required and front crossmember corroded and split beyond repair. Do (can ?)i repair(replace) crossmember and exhaust or will it be more economical to break the whole car, along with my heart ? Minter and want to keep but my pockets aren't deep enough. God fecking dammit !!!!!!!! [This message has been edited by wozza (edited 21-03-2002).]

To all oracles of the Z, I have been losing coolant steadily for some time now, and have been trying to find the source. To locate it I placed some crepe paper,(that is crepe paper, I want to keep peoples focus on this and not have this thread go off on a double entendre tangent frenzy) under the car and to see if or where it got wet. It did get wet but I don't have easy access to the underside of the car, no jack. The leak seemed to emanate from just to the left of centre of the crossmember,just behind the hard pipe running acrooss the underside of the car. If anyone has a clue where and what might the problem be give us a shout! All the Best Mark

iv`e always wanted a big fan but this time its for my 1990 tt , the big one behind the radiator ????? any one got one ?? also a full set of tyres (bit doubtfull on this one ) jap spec or uk wheels with tyres thanks antleeds@hotmail.com

one of the jobs I hate is drying the car after, so when I saw this in Costco yesterday, I thought I'd buy it and give it a try. Well I used it today and I dried most of the water off the z in about 3 minutes, then a quick go with the chamois and it was done. all in all about 5 minutes. Basically it's like a flap of plastic (made of flexible silicone) with a handle and it acts like a windscreen wiper, but it bends to the contours of the car and it doesn't scratch. Well worth around a fiver! Vijay

I was just on my way down stairs and noticed the guy who keeps putting flyers through my letterbox was about to deliver so I waited by the letterbox and when he put the 'Junk' throught the letter box I grabbed it out of his hand and started barking and growing like a dog... ....I heard the geezer swear and heard him run down the footpath.... ...Am still killing (and crying) myself laughin now... Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Gave the guy in the white 300 a BIG thumbs up out of the roof (Targa's off today) and he looked at me like had gone out.... ...either miserable or annoyed he wasn't the only driver of a Z... ...doesn't cost a penny to be sociable unless it's your round Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...

I'm looking to buy a 300zx TT, seen one that seems like a good deal, but it's an import. Anyone know what sort of documentation they should have so I know it ain't one that's been nicked and imported on the sly ? Cheers

Help!!! I've got an aftermarket boots Gauge fitted and it measures in Kg/Cm2??????????? And under full throttle the needle stops at 0.5, does this mean my car is in safety boost? and if so what can I do about it (apart from swearing a lot and eventually crying). Matt

Hi wonder if some one can give me some advice im having a service done on my zed and wonder if its worth changing the standard air filter for a performance one will it make any real difference and how often do these performance filters need changing?

If I'd accepted every offer of a guaranteed $1 Million, cheap loan and guaranteed penis extension then I could afford the petrol to attend every Northern meeting but actually wouldn't need to leave my house to get there. I really don't want to set up a new email address but having had my current one for 4 or 5 years, it seems that every twat out there has got it and writes to me. Daily. No, make that hourly. I would really appreciate any suggestions of ways to filter out spam ? Thanks Dave
