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…

i just got a US spec '90 2+2 NA. i know you guys in the UK get turbo 2+2 >=). i'd like to use the online service manual here (very useful btw! Nice job). So just wondering as i tried to search out a answer with no results.

I myself have taken up the challenge: to repair forum members Zeds cheaper than Nissan Main Dealer.... I enclose a snap-shot of my work captured on Digital Camera... If anyone wants a Cambelt change I only charge thruppence ha'penny per hour Glen LOL [This message has been edited by senna (edited 06-01-2002).]

I know technicaly this is a tech question but..... Will US tension rods fit a UK Z? I was looking at THIS and was wondering if it would fit on mine. The tension rod bushes need replacing and this would make the handling better and also have no need for the bushes again. It is also only a little more expensive than the bushes, which I have been told cost £100, and I presume that is for 2. Whats your view?

An amusing if slighly unbeleivable yarn concerning Harry Halfords in Tamworth. In my urgency to get a steering rack gaitor to replace the split one I discovered late last afternoon, I (I know its bad) went to my local Halford store to just see if even a tempory universal one was available till got correct one. The spotty geek (who me) on the counter was asked by me if they stocked a listed gaitor or a universal one for the steering rack on a 300zx. ?????? much head scratching a blank look at his pc screen,he said he did not think they sold them.Hmm are you sure I said, more scratching and now button pressing...what car mate? aarrhhh I say Nis 300zx tt !!! Mmm he says …

They hunt him high, they hunt him low, but no Timmy Turbo out on show. Jeff TT I`m getting worried mate!

Hi All, my tailgate lock barrel does not want to turn to unlock the tailgate that easily, is this easy to access and service or is a replacement barrel to fit the same key easy to get, and is it a Nissan Dealer only part or can I get it from elsewhere, any ideas? Cheers Mark H

Hi all, got an intermmitent mouse squeaking type noise under the bonnet when the engine is running, it squeaks when stationary and it doesn't increase when the engine revs. Has anybody got any ideas apart from FEEDING IT CHEESE? Or am I looking for a mouse in a haystack. Cheers Mark H

Hi, just had a puncture on a rear tyre, had a look at it when off and the outer egde was worn and the inside edge was worn to the braiding, causing the puncture.Apart from the tracking could this be a symptom of something else? Cheers Mark H
