I have finally made up my mind and am going for the above bumper. There are a few other guys also interested and I am just posting to see if anyone else wants in before the order goes ahead. The deal is: Bumper, side lights and standard fog lights (current jap spec ones will fit fine) for £548.50 inc vat. You may order without the fogs if you wish and you may order the new side skirts and rear spoiler too. Best thing to do is phone Mike at MJP on 01277 374201. This doesn't include the mesh but you be able to buy that locally far cheaper. If you want some pictures here is Warren's thread http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/ubbforum/Forum1/HTML/00458…

When I changed my spark plugs a few months back I took off the balance tube so I could get to the back ones. I seemed really dirty inside the part it goes onto. Is there any way you can easily clean the inside?. Also There was nothing sealing the two joins, no gasket or O ring!!. Would this mean a potential vacuum leak?. Does this effect performance a great deal if the balance tube has a leak?? any thoughts??? Cheerz Simon H

has anyone got the two lower intake(throttle) hoses going cheap? when I took my engine out they were introduced to stanley, so I need two more!

Hi fellas! Yep, I got down on one knee in the middle of the B'ham Botanical Gardens - completely took Fiona by surprise - asked if she would do me the greatest honour of becoming my wife, and with big tears in her eyes she accepted! Call me a hopeless romantic but I couldn't be any happier at the moment. (I could be but that would mean my Zed actually running propperly and cheaply ... yeah right!) Just needed to share this with my extended Zed family! Take care and be safe! Danny

Let me know M8. I would greatful for any help on where to find this part guys. Cheerz Simon H

No, no, no, not the f$%^king breather kits, the manual gearbox from Kash. I will be collecting from MJP damn soon. Which means that a) other peoples kit should be on the horizon too, and b) in the not too distant future one low mileage auto gearbox par excellence, complete with fast road rebuild and additional oil cooler will be up for sale. Form an orderly queue please ! I think Timmy Turbo and Dave Marley(?) have first dibs and I'd guess now that Tim has had his box fixed then Dave is at the head of the queue.

As you may now, my Z is up at PPS, where Pete is fitting a body kit & doing a full respray. Here's how it's going so far:- Can't wait 'til its finished! Dave

As some of you may know, my Z is in at PPS where Pete is fitting a body kit & doing a respray. I suppose this pic should be named "work in progress!" It'll all be worth it in the end Dave [This message has been edited by DaveW (edited 14-02-2002).] [This message has been edited by DaveW (edited 14-02-2002).] [This message has been edited by DaveW (edited 14-02-2002).] [This message has been edited by DaveW (edited 14-02-2002).]

I've just become the owner of 1989 TT import. It goes great, the engine's a little bit rougher than I expected but it has done 80K miles. However i've just filled the tank again after using a full tank and I've calculated the MPG, after picking myself off the ground and checking my calculations again I got a figure of 12.5MPG. There's no obvious signs of a petrol leak although I did notice a petrol smell from the exhaust. My first guess is that i'ts running mega rich hence the engine roughness. Any ideas how to where to start anyone. P.S. I also checked the ECU and there are no error codes.

I would like to know if there is a flatulent person employed at dry-roasted peanut factories whose sole job it is - is to fart into the packets before they are sealed up. ?? Because I have it on good authority from the Range Roverer Madam Turboid that you, my son, would be well suited ROFLMAO!!!

Ok the new Skoda has come on in leaps and bounds over the years,So are they now up to Ford standard or have they passed them???has anyone had them? ------------------

I've just removed the PTU to see if I can check it out. Have I got the old or new type (after recall) unit? Here's whats on it: 22020 58S11 TSTR IGN UNIT MITSUBISHI J126 2301 The connectors are really mucky but would this cause it to run until warm then start stuttering and stall after a few backfires? It did this when hot the other day and I had hoped all would be OK after cooling off but started her up from cold today and it ran until warm - about 10 or 15 mins and then cut out just the same. Looks like a permanent fault now. My Z is a Jap import...

Was wondering how long it will be before a boy is born that can swim faster than a shark? Any ideas guys?

Not having owned a Raleigh Chopper but being interested in buying a used Diamond Back BMX I was wondering if anyone had any comments about the difference in performance? I know the Chopper has better gearing and the BMX is geared much, much lower but would the Chopper with its high back seat and fat back tyre smoke the BMX off the mark??? I know someone who has owned a Diamond Back and says I won't be disappointed with the looks and performance and that the Chopper is well and truly passed its sell-by-date. However I do like the riding position and better comfort of the Chopper...ohhhh I don't know what to do? Any advice guys would be much appreciated…

a ton of feathers or a ton of lead??? ROFLMFAO
