Hi, I could blame the fact that my reverse light doesn't work very well and that there weren't any street lights but I won't. I reversed my Z into the wall outside my new house last night. I didn't hit it too hard but I've completely shattered the passenger side res reflector on the back/side bumper. Does anyone know where I can get one of these from? Are they easy to fit? Cheers, Andy

I love you FIREBOND...Ohhh I love you soooooo much!!! Processed a quote last night on the web, but had to ring them up this morning coz of the mods... Mods declared... Aftermarket zorst Aftermarket intake ECU upgrade ready??? Kerrrrccchhhhiiiinnnggggg £447 fully comp. oh and if I get meself as named driver on Mrs Turbos policy would be even less!

OK, Need to get a few of us together to arrange a group buy for these but the mroe we get the cheaper!!! £700 for a pair on larger intercoolers. Identical sizes to Greedy versions. I need a show of hands asap. Leigh.

Just called MichelUniDever and was told SO3's are not available in 265/40/18zr ?? I thought folks on here had said they had SO3's in 18? The guy said that they were only available in SO1 and then only for Ferraris... Strange! Cheerz Glen

Chaps, I need your computer advice, as a friend is having trouble with his system. Last year he upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2 which he'd used for years without trouble. However, apparently there are conflicts between these two systems, the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend with the sound turned off, but to make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as; Lads Night Out 3.1, Golf 2 and Playboy 6.0. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better, Girlfriend 3.0 has many Bugs and left a virus in his system, forcing him to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually he t…

Hi, does anyone have an old knackered heater matrix they don't want anymore? Cheers Mark Hanley

Heads up..Saw the new Z in EVO magazine on the bookshelf available at most good newsagents. It looks a lot meaner than previous pictures. From the back its like a skyline with ATTITUDE!! Inside looks really wacky - not sure bout dat. Its radical from the front. Being a mean sod i didn't actually buy the mag of course...but its also got an article on the latest and last Skyline. Its worth a flip thru in your newsagents at least.

Not having experienced Cossie ownership - there is something that I would like to know. Would a 500BHP Z be faster/quicker than a 500BHP 4x4 Saph' Cossie? I know there are different things to consider like gear ratios and power curves but at what level of would a Z need to be upgraded to, to level the straight line performance of a 2.4 500BHP 4x4 Cossie running around 35PSI? Has anyone had experience with Cossies that can offer some comparison?

Guys, How do you get the injector caps off,i can just about get my finger down there,never mind two fingers to grab the cap.Need to clean the terminals.(middle one drivers side) cheers Ken p.s Jeff,got everything going again but need to get the cap off the injector to be on the safe side.

Is just plain lovely. Ok it takes half an hour to get it out of my garage but I gave in this morning and taxed and re-insured it. I can actually bloody overtake things again WOOHOO! -- Glen

Harve, sent you a message two days ago - did you receive it? Cheers fella, Danny

Ok this has probably been brought up before but I was reading through the 300zx FAQ and found this *** Were there any recalls on the 300zx? YES! There was one recall, on the power transistor unit. This part will sometimes just "die," preventing the car from running, or other times it will "limp home" but not run well. It is approximately a $250 fix, but Nissan can and will do it for free. If you've had it fixed and paid for it in the past, you can call Nissan and try to get reimbursed. Also, if you've just bought a used car, or don't know if the part has been replaced, you can call 1-800-Nissan-1 and ask one of the operators if your car has had the recall performed.…

Called my local Nissan Dealer Dunces today for a fuel filter. They needed the part number from my filter then the chassis and model numbers... They are e-mailing the details to Nissan HQ to find which one I need! Surely there are not loads of different filters? Anyone have a part number for a TT import so I can tell the idiots?

Hi folks, I finally have my Blitz Springs and Koni Shocks. All I need now is the new rubber bit to make the whole assembly gleaming new. Does anyone know of the stock part number or can you suggest a universal option which is cheaper or quicker. I seem to recall that someone used a universal steering rack boot instead. The old girl is now closer to getting back on the road. Simon P.

Can anyone answer the following question? Is a standard Jap speck 300ZX twin turbo, faster than, a standard Lotus Carlton. ------------------

Can anybody identify this connector and tell me where it should go. It has a black/red and blue/white wire going into it. I have just had an engine re-build and think they may have left something off because it is very clean inside.

My heater has stopped blowing out anything more than cool air, no matter what the setting there is no change in temperature. Coolant level is ok! Air con conenser leaks but i assume this is no link to the heater! Any ideas?

Hey, I'm having a very big arguement with someone and they say that a mate of theirs has a 300ZX that can do low 9's. I've never seen this before and wanted to know if it was possible and what sort of money would it take to get it to that level of performance. Please respond with any info possible ASAP.

I can get the following from the states if anybody is interested:- Brembo Cross Drilled and Grrove disks. PBR Metal matrix pads. Cost including shipping is £260 the lot. So far its Aaron and I, anybody else want to be included?? Leigh

Ok, All those who wanted bulbs I should have emailed by now. From my list I have about 4 bulbs left, if there is any body else who wants them let me know. All cheques to be sent to:- 76 Stanhope Road, Burnham, Slough, Berkshire. SL1 6JS. £11 each per bulb including p&p. Leigh

Flicked through a copy of REVS and so a seriously modded 300 fitting the discription of Ka$h's car. To be honest don't think the picture did it justice. MCZX

Finally, after 6 months of the road I finally get my Z back this weekend. Had a slight altercation with a Pug 306 and a hedge last summer and couldn't afford to get it fixed (didn't want to claim). Been driving my fiancee's 1 point nothing Pug 103 since and BOY, am I looking forward to the 300. Will be Chester - Stoke - London Sunay afternoon so if you see a red TT Z being driven v. carefully (too right, after 6 mnths in a Pug) with slightly different colour panels down the left it's me.

Ever since I got behind the wheel of a car, I have always gone under my ole' mans insurance policy because insurance for a 20yr old driving a RS Turbo wasn't very pleasant. Now at 26 and a couple hundred horse power more, the insurance is a tolerable levels even whilst on the same policy. However, after speaking with JeffTT a few weeks back, he mentioned Firebond so I decided to give them a call today for a laugh. I was well shocked. Check this out:- I am 26, work as a Problem Manager for an IT company, ZERO no claims, no endorsements or accidents living out in the the Derbyshire sticks.
