Hi guys,whilst on a zed bit picking morning cam across the Veilside badge in pic below.It is made of brass and is engraved and coloured in,well nice. The wording however is erm ..odd. Below the veiside bit it reads "We are driving the condition of your heart" Any thoughts guys?do you think it lost something in the translation? oh well by the way saw a minty full system off the car,breaker wants £150 + vat in B.ham Also at another breaker checked out a short wheel base non turbo, looked like it had rolled, very nasty, but lots of trimmy bits,do I remember someone wanting something off a non turbo? also in B.ham.See ya Jeff TT

Wish we could get away with stuff like this over here [This message has been edited by JayPSC (edited 05-01-2002).]

I am looking for a 300zx, it needs to be manual, '90+, twin turbo, in good condition. I have a budget of £3500-£4000 I live in clevedon (near Bristol) but am willing to travel upto 150 miles. Also, i may be interested in importing one. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, also anyone with experience of importing cars who could give me advice would also be appreciated.

A mate of mine is after buying a Mitsubishi FTO. He rang up for a quote on insurance and they said all FTO's are imports. Does anyone know if this is true? Cheers. Rob.

Just had a shock down the local tyre fitters. Have noticed for a while that the front left tyre was wearing a bit uneven on the edge.No big deal i thought as plenty of tread in the middle and all other tyres looked fine. and after recently accidently kerbing it a couple of times i thought i would get the tracking checked as a precaution. I took it to Britannia (bit like quick fit) because they gave a free check and balancing. The guy shows me all the tyres. Ahh Front right which looked fine was so badly scored on the inner edge the tyre wall was coming away from the surface (thread showing). Front left was warn on outer and inner edge (Inner edge worse again) middl…

Hi guys I'm in the market for either a 300ZX or Mitsubishi 3000GT but I can't decide which. Is there anyone with experience of both? The criteria I'm most interested in are; long distance comfort and drifting capability (I currently own a 200SX which excels at the later but not the former). Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated.

Just to let you guys know before Christmas I was supplied a part for my Zed (a uk spec ecu) from a firm called A1 Jap Spares. They seemed to have quite a few parts for the Zed. I was shocked to find they had what I was after as UK Spec ecu's seem hard to come by. (BTW cost was £250.00 ). There number is 0161 6822221 and they were very helpfull. May be worth giving them a call if anyone is trying to track down a part for their car. Laterz Simon H

C'mon guy's!!! (Mark and Lard styleee) NO NEEEEEEED! I would rather pay Jeff's prices than Nissan Main Dealer prices any day and also would would love Andy Duff to help me for free! Both top blokes with top knowledge. I love his forum, even though I have not posted for a while I look in every hour or less (Yes, yes, yes I am sad) We are all individuals and have different opinions which can be shared ohers may not agree but lts not get catty, I am still half asleep so I won't go off on one as I may have mis-read the Jeff V's Andy Handbag scrap...... ...but I will say there's room for everyone, free or not... Am going for a shower..…

i think i have found the problem with my z after it cut out on me again so i removed the alternator and the big thick live power supply wire and charging wire had rusted off the back of it so TopSquads was right i am hoping that that is why the hicas light has been on too because when i put a charged battery on the car the light goes off but when it starts to go flat the hicas light comes on ans the steering goes hard then if you leave it longer the abs light comes on so im hoping when i put the alternator back it works (then i dont get the blame for wiring my new lights up wrong)

There is too much of it around What we all need is a button next to the 'post new topic' button marked 'feed forum member Valium' I could probably arrange a group buy on Benzodiazapines if Craig can sort out the HTML ....Glen

Hmmm following the 60k service thread by Tim I took the time to give my opinion and that`s all it is, and thats what the forum is for,and usually works well.However at the end of my post seems I have made the error of placing a link to a page on my web site that if I am not mistaken was requested by you guys on the forum some time ago detailing a few prices on services I do as an enthusiast not a trader.Question do we stop the links and the possible advantages they can have for some or shall we keep them but only on certain days? like when Mommy Duff is washing her hair.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER OR ADDRESS FOR INTERPRO IN DAVENTRY (VEHICLE DISMANTLERS) CHEERS JAMIE

Hi Guys, Has anybody had strange whining Noises from the rear of the car ?. I`ve got a intermittant whine from the drivers rear wheel area, its there most of the time , hot or cold. Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions of the cause ?? Kev

"Quick take the picture, the boss is coming" "Takin pictures of car parts you sad bastard". Quote Mrs paulg "Adjustment on car, this is better than a Haynes manual" "Setting the camber angle with a gauge, the technical bit"

I think that the manual says 1-3 degrees for the front wheels. If you get a laser alignment setup will it be best to ask them to go for 1 degree if you want to reduce the wear on the inside of your front tyres. Do you agree? Paul

Since these few days of Snow and Ice I have noticed that there isn't much difference in temperature above 32 on the old A/C unit. It takes about 50 minutes to get to work and I can honestly say that the air doesn't really get that hot. Infact my shitty 416 rover gets twice as hot. Now, as this is the first car that I have had with A/C on it, I am not too offey in its mechanics. Am I right in saying that the gas that is put in is to help blow colder than atmospheric temperature air or does it help with heating aswell. I have also noticed that the "rec" button does not work now either. Should I be gripping my wallet or isn't it as bad as it sounds? One t…

I'm just getting this sorted for mine and I'm trying to work out if it's worth changing the tensioner. It's £250+ if I buy one from Nissan UK or $125 from Courtesy. If you've had a 60K belt change did you get the tensioner renewed? Comments or experiences please Tim
