Hi guys, do you ever have one of those days where the world seems a real good place to be, like when you have been paid by a customer or you managed to buy the only dvd copy of The Fast & furious featuring a 20 minute chase with zeds (yeh right!) and most of all the car is running TOPS!! Spent most of yesterday travelling around customers sorting probs out on their cars and in between each call ended up having either races or drags off the lights.Seems everybody was up for it yesterday around the Tamworth area. But one particular bit of fun was when waiting at some lights outside Lichfield two abreast against a Merc SLK guy was well up for it and scoping the gree…

Hey guys just wanted to chime in here after reading numerous posts involving a lot of bashing here... First off, I'm a Porsche owner (on my second 944-->turbo), but a big admirer of 300ZXs, specially the twin turbos. The performance of these cars are almost dead even IMO, but there are a lot of other subjective areas the cars are different on. Anyway, even if one of these cars were faster than the other that's no reason to put down the other, and please I ask you to not judge all Porsche owners by what a fire starter chooses to post. Infact I've done numerous track events with a close buddy who owns a 300zx tt, and as much as we both love our own cars, …

I hope a few chaps out there will be glad to know that I've bought yet another Z, but this time to drive and not to take apart. My first Z (I owned for 2 years)I had to dismantle because it was knackered. The 2nd Z I bought a few days ago, to dismantle, and the 3rd (bought today) is my new car that I'll be driving. Its good to be back !! AndyZZ

Has anyone got a second hand spoiler similar to this? (Brake light not too important) http://www.zcentre.co.uk/spoilers/zc006a.htm I have a set off standard Z wheels with tyres and a couple of turbos if anyone would like to do some kinda deal with either of them.

Guys, Any body changed the (near side front top suspension arm bush)&(near side rear bottom ball joint)are thay expensive & is it a big job.Does any body fancy giving me a hand??? PS Haveing a bad month !!!! Cheers Ken

Just returned from the garage who are fitting an Energy Suspension bush kit for me. They have 2 large bushes left with a code 4178 on them. They have not changed the Differential bushes yet, and the kit is meant to have a Rear differential carrier bushing set included. I assume the bushes are the ones for the back of the diff to attach to rear of the rear sub-frame? The bushes are about the same diameter, but the new ones (the 2 left over) are deeper. I wondered if my 'later' model may have had a different solution, but there was a 1989 import there as well which had the same depth. Can anybody put me right? Thanks, Geoff

Is there anyone in the UK that can convert an auto 300z in to a tiptronic or sequential gearbox system similar to the porche and if so how much would it cost. I am just getting mine back on the road and would like to do some major modifications [This message has been edited by thebigfish (edited 16-02-2002).]

I'm thinking of buying a used estate or cheap 4x4. Needs to have a big boot, lots of extras and be good on fuel to make up for the Z. Performance is not important - my other car is quite quick... I was thinking of a Discovery or Omega estate or something? Have up to £15K to spend. What secret bargains are there to be had in the car world at the moment?

Apologies if this has been said before.... but I rented Fast & Furious last night - and not a Zed in sight (unless you count the fleeting glimpse of some babe's reflection in the "300ZX" panel as the credits roll..) Still, some fancy motors to look at though. Lurvely RX-7.....
