Hi guys & gals, Just thought I'd warn you about the terrible weather that's about to hit us. You see, whenever I even think about pointing a hose at my car it starts pissing down with rain. Today I not only washed the silver beast, I also vacuumed, polished AND waxed it (need sun glasses even in the dark but at least I can see where I'm going LOL). SO, given my usual track record of "wash and drown" we are now in for atleast a foot of snow, golfball sized hail and I'll even throw in a tornado! Just blame me for any bad weather - that's what my girlfriend does so I'm used to it Zee Ya's! Danny

Two weeks ago I fitted my Zees EX exhaust. Today whilst accelerating flat out in fourth gear on a local dual carrigeway, my f@@@@@@ clutch began to slip . This happened to somebody else here didn't it? Anyway, what are your views/experiences with aftermarket clutch plates? Good or bad? Can anyone reccomend a good friction plate? I don't need flywheel/pressure plate. How do they compare to new a Nissan plate?? Many thanks in advance. RCD p.s. its nice to have the forum back!

I spend all afternoon working on it *AGAIN* I go to drive to McDonalds And now the radio is dead, and the mirrors are stuck in (their auto relay must take its power rfom the same place as the radio) for fucks sake! what next! On Friday it was a flat fucking tyre.. Thursday a huge fucking fuel leak.. I give in, I really do. I'm sick of spending all my time working on that japanese HEAP OF SHIT. Oh yeah, and it sounds like a FUCKING BUS.

Checking my plugs cos it seems to drop slightly while driving What is the gap for the plugs

Before I put my engine back into the Z, I think I'm going to replace the engine loom - coz it's all gone crispy! Question is: If I order a new loom, will I get one designed for a 93+ Z - i.e. with the newer PTU? I've got a 91 Z you see, and reckon I might as well replace the PTU at the same time, since its only a matter of time before it dies imo. Cheers guys n gals! ------------------ Simon

Ok Stuart,I blame you for the forum crashing ,as every day you post about your Z going tits up all that bad luck has now infected the forum ! ------------------ NEW POST RECORD Timmy you junior LOL!

Hi there, I was thinking of coming down to Preston on Saturday night. Could I pay you a visit on Sunday? Shaun

Does anyone know of a good web hosting site ? I'm currently using BTopenworld for www.300zx.org.uk but it's a pain because as far as I can tell it's not possible get the domain name to display properly in the address bar. It's re-directed correctly but always displays as my BT username etc and consequently you can't link to individual pages without effectively hiding the ID of the site (unless I'm missing something here) ??? So ideally, I want somewhere that is reliable and free (or bloody cheap!). Any recommendations ?

cheers mate, all sorted today. speak soon Martin

Had problems with the passenger side electric window - won't operate from drivers side switch. It sounds like (clicking noise)that there is a solenoid that controlls the windows. The click comes from the centre of the dash. Question is, is there a solenoid and where is it and what does it look like - big, small, colour etc. Any ideas would be appreciated, I've tried everything including replacing the winder mech and motor and checking the switches.

...just like to say thanks for the advice re what to do about outstanding HP on a car my son was buying. We followed the advice and all went well and he's now the proud owner of a VR6. thanks...

Does anyone know if a JWT auto chip will work in a manual ? I've got a chance at a 2nd hand ECU, but it's from an auto, so I'm not sure if it'll work or not. Cheers
