Got my Z back today. What can I say but f**king great. Suns out, shades are on, and it's time to cruise. SE Exhaust sounds awesome, even though I can't put my foot down yet Getting the heads turning down ESSEX way as I head towards a cheap Shell Garage to get some Optimax. BTW don't use the Maldon one they charge 78.9 where as Tiptree is only 75.9. Ahh it's good to be back Now just gotta update my rides section, sigh!! ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk brave-orchid.co.uk

Can anybody help with information on how the Stainless Steel Brakelines fit on the front? As you can see on the following 2 pictures the lines pass through two retaining points on the way to the caliper connection. Special mid mounting points are shown. I have a Z32 BSR-Aerotek kit, which has the hoses and end connectors only. What have others done to retain the front hose to these 2 mid points? The second picture shows retainers, but these are not part of my kit (and suspect not part of the kits fitted by others?). Thanks for your help.

Had my car booked in for 9am this very morning to check out my oil leak at my local Nissan dealer on Anglesey. I turn up a bit late at 9:30 and announce my presence to the Service Manager. I explain to him that I can see where the leak is coming from and if I could just show him it would save their time and mine. "OK" he says and we walk out to my car. So he asks me to show him, so I say we need it up on a lift...well fuck me!!! He then tells me that they haven't got any lifts available all morning. WTF is that all about? So anyway, we walk into the workshop and just like every cloud has a silver lining So to does every Nelson I've ever, ever been to have a 300…

keep hearing about se nissan's ecu chip,where are they,as i am very interested in this mod,cheers.

Wotcha.... Been going thru most of the pics in the rides ection deciding on which alloys would look best on my (stock) Jspaec Z, and I've decided that yours are thw winner!!! You say they are Kosei, but which type precisely?? Had a quick browse and they look like the Kosei 'Sniper'.. is this right??? Also would you mind letting me know what sort of price range they're in... Assuming you got them as a wheel/tyre set, this obviously depends on what tyres you got too. AND FINALLY.... also quite taken by the side skirting.. where the f**k would I source a pair of these, and again, how much are we talking?? Thanks in advance bud, Smurf

Last night at about 10.20 in Clay Cross, Derbyshire, meaty looking white z I think, very bright headlights, anyone here?? Regards John

Hi all, Could all of you who plan to attend this record breaking meet please cruize on over to the event section and register your attendance. I need to know exact figures to inform the caterers and I don't want to be holding a massive bill at the end of the day. Many thanks and have a great weekend! Danny

I know, one day owner and loads of posts, my window seals have got a few cracks and I want to replace them, has anyone done this or am I insane?

I've only had the Z for a day now but i've noticed its not always eager to change up gear (auto) and only changes up when I relax the throttle a bit, now is it me driving a bit spazzy co's its new to me or does this mean a problem with the box?

you have mail m8ty

not to cause a massive debate but i am still looking for the right tt and while searching i have visited this site regularly. i just wondered how much a tt is going to cost to maintain,are they as expensive as the sellers state or are they reasonably acceptable? i realise that arent your regular car so will be fairly expensive.anyone got any idea on maintenance costs and reliability since buying theirs?

I have had a few probs with the Z last couple of days.....anyway to cut a long story (Read the technical section!) took the Z over to Jeff's this afternoon and he located the problem and sorted it with the help of his probe.... Dodgy connection.......should have guessed... One of my injectors wasn't firing and now it is after some removal of corrosion (green and fluffy) and cleaning of the join all seems now to be fine. Cheers Dr. Z.....and his trusty probe...LMAO Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Where can I buy these... After doing my oil change over the weekend and getting my hands covered in shitty oil...then spending the rest of this week scraping the black shite from under my finger nails!!! I thought it best to invest in some kinky rubber sugical gloves that some of you guys use. Where do you buy them from??? P.S. not really for working on the car, "Come here Mrs Turbo...now just bend over you won't feel a thing!!!" ROFL ------------------

Game is called 'Wheel of Bullshit' and basically what we do is have a set number of players...say 5 or 10 of us to start it off. We list a bunch of known suppliers that we use for our cars and chuck in a fiver each. Each person picks out the supplier they honestly think won't get back in touch with them and then the game begins. We all have to ring the supplier we've chosen and try to get quotes/prices for a number of items for our motors. Can be body kit parts, mechanical tuning parts etc. etc. You can initiate your game any way you like, email, fax, phone call etc. If your supplier lets you down big time and gets in contact you're already losing poin…
