hi guys, there is a cerain mom steering wheel that I really like. my question is... how do I fit a new sterring wheel without loosing the control for the "cruise control"? set-coast-res (or whatever they are ai can't remember) PLUS the horn... I know you can buy those plates that go behind (I think) the new wheel and have one or 2 buttons... but can I use fit up to 4 buttons for the 3 cruise one and a horn... maybe all replacemenet wheels already have the central logo-horn button? thanks

Is any one else having problems getting onto Hotmail. I cant get onto my account and I cant log onto messenger using that hotmail account, but I can log on with another one. Any one with the same problem here? Stuart

1. Anyone know how the plastic covers are meant to be attached? Both mine have sheared off (have sourced replacements from AndyZ) and I have no idea how they are supposed to be taken off / put on. 2. Any ideas why when I press the headlamp wash button the windscreen wipers start? Dunno if they're meant to do this and, to be honest, I don't even know if anything comes out the lamp squirty things as I can't see them when I'm driving... Any ideas?

Right boys and girls, Do I sell the Z like I was going to? OR........ Do I throw more money at it and go for, New Blitz exhust and induction kit (how much for me Johnny?) headlight upgrade, meshed front end, new spoiler (either from Jamie* or Luke at Z centre) air-con replacment and few other bits and bobbs that I have priced up? I do have some money to throw at the Z now but what should I do. Really woud appreciate your input guys. Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...

On my way back down to work this afternoon, it's a sunny afternoon and the roads are nice and dry and my car is no longer silent...but rumbles with a nice deep throaty(non porn version) resonance at low revs and full on boot!!! Anyway, have to do 30mph over the Menai bridge as the wind is still tryin' fookin' hard to get one of those things with wheels off into the Straits. So get back onto the A55, foot down as everyone else still assumes that they have to drive about 60 miles to the nearest motorway still doing 30, fuckers!!! See this silver car in the distance, he seems to be going nicely but then I think he may have seen me in the distance in his re…

Can only put it down to some gaskett sealant used on my stock zorst when the gearbox was done! Coz since Andy Duffman fitted my Blitz on yesterday...no more stinkin'!!! No more stinkin', much more responsive motor, much quicker aswell so can't wait to get the Blitz induction kit on!!! Jesus!

I have a complete set of Z wheels with the standard 225's on them. Reason being that the previous owner either skimped or did not know that the rears should be 245's. The fronts have 5mm of tread, the rear have 4mm and the wheels were balanced 6 weeks ago. Am looking for £220 all in. Call me on 07775 620441 or mail me on cos.theo@mailcity.com [This message has been edited by Cos (edited 11-02-2002).]

If anyone is interested there is a damaged Z for sale L reg,uk,TT at sheffield sports salvage -www.sheffieldsportssalvage.co.uk. Looks a clean car, shame to miss it

OK People Have 2 turbos for sale for the beloved 300ZX. Was keeping them as spare just incase I had problems with mine but a company car is ordered so there isn't such an urgency now. Anyways, I have not seen them in action but I guess that anyone wanting them will probably exchange them for Hibrids. However, I can confirm that there is hardly any play on the spindles. I am looking for £220. Mail me on cos.theo@mailcity.com or call me on 07775 620441.

Just been out for another test drive, trying to find fault on auto box. I have noticed that although the box will not change from second to third gear under acceleration, the minuet I release the throttle pedal the box instantly changes to fourth gear, I can then change down to third by switching the over drive off. As soon as I touch the throttle pedal (barely applying any pressure) the box instantly changes back down to second gear. Does this indicate a particular fault?

Just informed my insurance about my new wheels and seat and got a great big shock, £640 to £1400, shit!!!!!

How can I accurately measure/adjust the boost my car is running at? It is currently set via two bleed valves under the bonnet. Does this need to be done by a specialist or can I do it myself?

Hi guys, I'm asking this question on behalf of my best friend in Holland who's also got a Zed but isn't on this forum ... His car (a '91 US spec TT manual 2-seater) is running perfectly fine but he's noticed that the viscous fan comes on quite regularly and very loudly. I know from experience that mine rarely comes on unless I'm bombing down the motorway on a very hot day (and lets face it ... that only happened once since I've owned my Zed ) He doesn't do very long journeys in the car and doesn't drive it very often (has a company car). The car also doesn't seem to overheat at all. Nothing else seems to be wrong with the car but as he's not very technical he w…

A quickie for those of you who asked me for the Stillen Bumpers. Looking to get final idea on numbers so I can quote. Thanks Johnny

Does anyone know any good companies for de-cat pipes for the zed, and how much? How much bhp do they give on standard boost?
