after much badgering of my m8 at work ive finally worked out how to update my rides.....only one new piccy at the mo but plenty to follow

Was it you at the A50 Roundabout yesterday around 1pm'ish near Blythe Bridge in the Stoke-On-Trent area. If it was, apologies for not flashing my lights at you as I was trying to negociate changing lanes, changing gear and holding the mobi'.

How long do these normally last? According to my records mine were changed less than 40k miles ago. One side feels like it has a little play on the inner bush. I dont suppose you can muller in new poly bushes here also? Willie

Think I have a bit of play on one.

No this isn't another auto vs. manual debate.... My box has got some knackered synchro rings - such that 3rd into 4th always crunches, and selecting reverse is difficult. trouble is I've just been quoted £760 for all parts, labour & VAT. Does this sound a good price? Perhaps I'm just beginning to regret getting my car sorted, and should be grateful that 760 quid will give me another 10 years of reliable use..? Does anyone else have any experiences of getting their boxes rebuilt?? BTW, parts include all new bearings, new input shaft and reverse gear Cheers you Z boffs ------------------ Simon

Hello all, Since I upped the boost on my car last week, the auto box has been hesitant to shift up under full throttle, and as of last night, it just refuses point blank to shift to final gear, resulting in the car revving at the redline but not changing up. Is this a clogged solenoid that an auto fluid change would fix, or am I looking at a rebuild/replacement? Thanks for any help, Brian

How does an electronic boost controller work? does it use a solenoid to open the wastegate? or does it work in some other way.

hi, is it possible to ad strut braces(or antiroll bars) to front top bar front bottom bar and rear bar will I need to buy bars made for 300zxTT or generic ones? A guy said there is no room for front top brace because engine is too high????? [This message has been edited by ManicTT (edited 04-03-2002).]

I have a front bumper & rear spoiler from my red 1994 UK spec going spare. Also a complete set of tail lights. Any offers? Dave

Hi Guys, Sadly I have put my Z up for sale. It is a H reg with 72000 on the clock. (Well below Average) The car is mint as I have always parked it in my garage. All electrics work and the engine has been well maintained and runs clean as a whistle. It also has a Clifford CAT 1 Alarm for which I have a cetificate of authenticity. It is maron in colour with rear windows tinted black. (Good if you use your mobile a lot in your car). If anyone is interested I can email pictures of the car. I am looking in the region of £6800 ono. email: pbanwait@talk21.com tel: 07977 022 554 Cheers Pali

I am not too familar with the car and am still learning about it. At the front of the car there is a tube in which you are meant to put in the coolant. Does this mean that I do not have to put coolant into the radiator with the water? What type of coolant/anti-freeze is the best?

Please see the "Bolney" meet thread in the Upcoming Events forum for further details...or visit the Future Meetings forumn at www.evo.co.uk Should be a good day if the rain holds off.

My Z has an ECU remap and a boost upgrade to 1 bar for over a year,last week it started to have detonation at full boost,it does not do it all the time WTF? any ideas cheerZ MAC. ------------------

Sorry, I have changed Lukes site over to another server, but the mail forwarding got messed up. It should work now. If not send mail to zcentre@hotmail.com

Has anyone got an accurate boost gauge for sale? If so, how much?

You may find this amusing as I normally drive my zed with absolute care and respect and don't like to punish it through aggressive driving but... ..and yes, I know some of you have probably done this when you 17 or something or some might say 'so what?', but it was a sh*t load of fun and I survived to tell it!?!. I took a friend of mine out yesterday afternoon (sunday) for a spin around the proverbial 'block' trying to convert him from BMW to a zed. Anyway, on the way back we approached this hump back bridge at a rather 'rapid' pace, thinking 'better slow down a bit', got to the apex of the bridge and yep, she took off. F*cking hell!!, sailed through the air fo…

G*** CLH parked on Parkway in Camden Friday night at 8pm. Burgundy import, after-market alloys. Anyone here?

Anyone tell me what settings they use on a blitz dual SBC to get 15psi. I've got one to fit at the weekend, and thought it might save me some time. Also, what gain setting do you use. Cheers

Ok guys some quick help is needed on these 3 questions if you can: 1) Anybody got car seat covers for their Z? how did you deal with a) The knobs and electrics b) the front seats being able to fold foward? 2) Anybody painted their brake calipers? what sort of paint is best to use? and how many coats etc? 3) Anyone painted the inside trim of their Z? i.e the Centre trim, power window button trim etc? what sort of paint? do you clear coat it? will it look good, withstand heat, scratches etc? btw my Z is: 91 Auto 2+2 NA the seats are starting to wear (grey cloth) so wanna get them covered mid to cheap range covers. Also wanting to do the inside trim with…
