Hi Tony Mate Couldn`t resist the little pic of a Veilside necklace, just made me think of you a swop for that bike chain would look cool or are you a gold only man. Lol Jeff TT

I saw 2 Zs tonight, in Wigan. I have had my Z for nearly 8 months, and there where no Zs then. Now that I have on, 8 months later, there are loads.

I'm going to ring medion my computer manufacturers hotline tommorrow, and tell them my possible virus or fucked pc, will this be covered by their warranty as i bought it in april this year.?or will they fix it for me at a reasonable price, what is the going rate?

I need big car and I'm looking for a performance/luxury estate, any suggestions? My company will be paying up to £20K for it. Must be a used model - not into losing heaps of cash overnight. I just had a look at a Saab 9-5 Aero which is 250bhp and fully loaded. Nice black one at £19995 - £28K new! Anyone had experience of these? The Z is staying for the weekends!

Those of you who have knowledge! in this area - meaning you may not have them on your car! Is the lenth of pipe critical to match existing, or can 'one' replace with better rubber, to accomplish an easer fitment. harve.

Hi Jeff you have mail....

I'm a new member. I am still in the process of selecting a Zx so am open to help & advice. I notice from the WebPage that the club have meets at various venues (mostly circuits) but not that frequently, I wonder if groups in various areas have evening meets in a pub for a chat and giggle. I live in Aylesbury (some-one has to), I'm, lets say not in the first flushes of youth, the car is in answer to midlife crisis. I would enjoy meeting up with some likeminded people over a jar (the wife comes as second driver). Last club I joined was an off road club full of spotty kids and no-one would speak to us as we had a superior Japanese vehicle, not a Land Rover in nee…

I am very good worker Hic. Only use angle grinder when TOTALLY necassary. Bargin! Glen

I think i've got a virus, can't use my uotlook express and several other programmes. I get on outlook when I click on a message...........RICHED32.DLL failed to load then after clicking on ok it says there is not enough memory. on The 12 December i received an email from someone i don't know contents was c:\windows Temp internet files content.1&5 \LVFYWEZT\SAMPLE EXE i loked in the temp file ie5 and found random numbers duplicated all on the same date. seleted them still same and also I can't get the auto restore to work. it keeps telling me to restart the computer which i have done several timesHELP!!!!

I have a hole in my left exhaust, and the left exhaust is giving out a lot of white smoke that does'nt really disappear anytime fast, the smoke pretty much lingers a while, and the smoke smells of a heavy gasoline fragrance, the one we all know and love. but it's gotten to a point it's kinda ridiculous, and my gas mileage has gone to poo..... my guess is the hole in the exhaust is sucking up moisture at night and in the mornings, and is expelled when I'm driving, also with the O2 sensor gone bad, which would contribute to the poor gas mileage, and burning too rich, where too much fuel is used and not enough air for a good enough combustion. What are you…

Apologies for being lazy and not searching, but can any kind person tell me where the hicas reservior is? Thanx in anticipation Bryan

I need to change my clutch asap and need a rough time estimate for changing it or a cost , so i can guage how much i should be paying.

Happy New Year!.......I see some of you are all still squabbleing as usual. Some things never change I would include a link to my new site PORKERS WORLD but I doubt you would be able to handle the high BHP figures contained within! Bye for now [This message has been edited by Porker (edited 06-01-2002).]

http://www.twinturbo.net/cgi-bin/ttnet_viewmsg.pl?forum=general&msg_id=433143 Interesting because the general consensus for a stock 300zx is around 250-260 at the wheels.This works out to roughly 15% drivtrain loss, roughly the same figures we were achieving on our dyno day? What do you lot think?

Once again this forum amazes me FFS guyz, its quiet enough on here at the moment without trying to scare everyone off. Yet another, falling out over trivial matters. Whilst I try to understand everyone's point of view, we are all meant to be mates here, with a common interest in the Z. Someone suggested that Craig, as the owner, creator and webmaster of 300zx.co.uk, should be offered a percentage of revenue created due to the forum. Good idea! As the person who supplied and organised the clothing for the group, I would be more than happy to pay Craig a percentage on future sales of merchandise. To this end why don't we start a 'Suppliers and se…
