Has everyone noticed a load of new people appear in the past few weeks ? Has someone being doing some publicity stuff, or has the site found it's way into new search engines ? How did all these new people get to hear about it. Come on, spill the beans ! It could be time to resurect "Who's got graphical gas" ! I can't remember who did that now ....

Hi All My driver's side door is a little out about 1-2mm, it's not shutting off the interior light switch or the alarm that's attached to it, how do i adust the door to pull it in a couple of mm?? Cheerz John

300zx TT import '91 Now when I got the car one of the lasting impressions was how crap the brakes were. As i was intending to up rate them I wasn't overly concerned. However the car began making a sqweeking noise and the brakes got worse. Now the car is no longer making the noise and the brakes are now as I would expect - not great but I can stop without having to open the door and use the sole of my feet. I have no intention of fidling with my new found braking ability - but wondered if there was a reason for the chane around and if it is a sign of a fault which I can fix. Mark

How do you run the setup? I need to do it again but I cant remember how to do it and I cant find my book. Stuart

Had this problem for a while now folks... When asserting a "medium" amount of preasure on the stop pedal, there is a loud squeeeling noise which sounds like it's coming from the foorwell area. It aint the brakes themselves cos i can get it to do it whilst stationary... any ideas? Also.... anyone know where i can get a temp sensor, cheap, in the Preston, Lancs area?

you realy aint joking when you say that the dipped beam is shite are you! went to pick up my z from coventry last weekend ( you know when the weather was blowing a hooly) and i had to drive it back in the dark. was not too bad untill I hit the pitch black back roads to get back on to the motorway! not only could I see bugger all but it was raining(couldn't work out the wipers properly) I had a streem of cars coming towards me and the car is compleetly differant to drive from my corolla. yes I know!....a COROLLA he he but it was only a get around from when I sold my celica gt4. Oh well never mind I got back safe, and the car is great. chers for all the info guys. K…

Joy Oh Joy me Z's back and running fine, the alternator is fixed. Just for the record I was charged 2hrs labour, one to get if off and one to put it back on, (this included a lift back to my house by the mechanic). Reconditioning the alternator, (jap import), £140 plus v.a.t. The best news is that this is covered by my Breakdown Insurance so I expect to get most of it back. (The insurance aonly allow 1hr labour for the job). Thanks to those who advised. Simon ------------------ Simon

I have a dilemma as usual, its the one I usually have when I see my ten grand tied up in a car thats virtually unusable and just sat in my garage! I only have about 35mm ground clearance on the front of my car and it scratches on everything! Carpark entrances, bumps in the road etc and it gets me down It sits on 18's and SE lowered springs, if I put an OEM front bumper and original springs anyone any idea how much extra clearance this would give me and would my car look shite? Here it is, can someone recommend a way that I can get some more air between the splitter and the nasty and cruel road otherwise its gonna have to go Thanks Thanks…

Saw J*** CYK black Zed parked in the layby opposite Debenhams on...uh...Saturday, I think... Weekend has blurred into one long episode, but I think Saturday...and some friends of mine saw a red Zed pass them in Pizza Hut on Saturday morning - they thought it was me - everyone who knows me goes Zed spotting! So - either of those anyone here?

Hi All Seen some wheels i liked over the w/e for the Zed. However, they are only available in 8x18. Does anyone else have this size. As the rears are already 8.5 in width, will this look a little narrow? Also, what is the correct ofset please.? CheerZ S

hi all, I was wondering if the z31 89 model has four pot calipers on the front? if so what disc sizes are standard on them, and what size is the AFM? Looking to put those parts onto my 200sx as an upgrade and wanted some info on anyparts that are the same or similar to the Z32. thanks tom

Just another thing to look forward too- via the x box. Sega GT 2002 Almost looks real! [This message has been edited by autoxluke (edited 04-02-2002).] [This message has been edited by autoxluke (edited 04-02-2002).]

Hi Peeps, I need a new chip for my computer, and since I'm capable of socketing it myself, I'd rather not send it off anywhere. (But not too bothered if I have too, just trying to save some cash) I know of JWT (obviously), and have heard that SE do their own chip. Of course it needs to be mapped to my engine specifics, blah blah.. Any thoughts on where in the UK I might get my hands on one. (8 months of no Z are hopefully coming to a close now - just need injectors, ecu and exhaust and I'll be able to start it again) Thanks in advance Simon.
