There is this guy (owner of a club) in my city with a brand new Ferrari Modena and yesterday while i was driving on my way home i saw him coming from my mirror. He was coming slowly slowly, so i slow down hoping that we can both get to the red light side by side and try and challenge him a bit. So I was lucky enough to have him next to me. At the red light. No cars in front of us for about one Km. I turn on the boost controller and I open my window and I ask him if we wanted to race. He smile and he shake his head saying no no... The result he didnt hit it. He just took his mobile and start talking. Man...I knew I was about to get smoked if he did but it …

If there is could you do me a favour and scan a copy of it in and send it me please. Thanks

I have a '91 import, manual, 300zx TT. It has done close to 60K miles and has developed an odd vibration. The vibration starts dead on 40mph and doesn't get any worse or any better at any speed over this. When the speed drops back below 40mph again, the vibration stops. I have had all the wheels balanced, the prop shaft and drive shafts have been checked and are ok. The gearbox mounts are fine and so are the diff mounts. Does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this problem ?

i finaly have got my lights done with a bit of help (jeff)thanks m8 when i was trying to do the lights i obviously needed my lights on to do it so evey so often my battery went flat which i expected so i bumped it off started first time then carried on and when i had finished the lights i let it run on the drive for bout 5 min thought it would be fine so seen as though one of my kids have been nattering to go to LA bowle i thought we would go and wanted to go in z (havent driven it since b4 it started snowing) started her up put lights on (it was dark) only dipped beam though i wasn't trying my fullbeam yet and i was driving along thinking that the dials were a bit d…

There seems to be quite a lot of play in the diif, is this normal? It's just that if I'm in a high gear & coasting, the thing buckaroo's a bit! Does this mean that my diff is cabbaged?!!! PS. My diff is from an auto but the car is manual.

Does ne1 have a standard nearside rear shock that I can borrow for a few weeks or buy cheep. Jap 1990 TT 2+2 auto. The one on mine is COMPLETELY knackered, no oil so NO damping - Its all leaked out - It just bounces on the spring. The car is bouncing and skipping around all over the place. Dangerous to drive at the mo. I need an interim shock (or complete strut) that I can use until I receive my new Koni's. I'm not worried about replacing both as its only going to be for a few weeks. Also, If anyone is willing to swap it over for me for a small fee(I've already stripped out the boot panels for easy access. Cheerz Andy

I find it impossible to punch the gas without burning my tyres. Too much spinning Especially when I raise my boost to 15 PSI.. Then it gets nasty.. I didnt have this before install the Torque Converter. Traction Control then?

My fuel filter (assuming thats what is is, it's the siver thing with pipes in and out, top RHS of engine bay from front) does something a little odd, and just wondering of anyone gets the same.. Ever since I've had the car, it seems to make a pretty obvious 'gurgling' noise - you can hear it from both inside and out. Has always done this, but now seems to be getting a little worse. Anyine had the same?? Is it time to go Mr Bank Manager??

Check out the price of this 1990 zed at a dealer Hmm hopeful eh? Jeff TT http://www.carsource.co.uk/used-vehicle?car_id=1844519

Hi just brought a diff of Andyz,aparantly from a twin turbo jap z auto for my uk twin turbo auto car, for a replacement for my blown one.The axels look the same apart from two things first there is no oil cooler takeoffs on the replacement jap one,and there are not the same number of teeth on the crown wheels so there for the ratios are compeatly different, why is this guys thanks.Chas

You gotta try you never know!!!!....cash waiting.... Regardz

...explain this one. I have discovered something on my Z that I think is not quite right so try and follow me. I'm coming up to a junction at 50 in 3rd or 4th. I decelerate apply the brakes gently then a with a little more pressure whilst changing in to 2nd. Now this is where the fun begins. If just before engaging 2nd gear I turn the wheel in either direction so that the car is ever so slightly turning, hence off balance, when 2nd is engaged, I get a very nasty pendulum effect, first in the opposite direction to which I have turned and then it snaps back to the other side.(Very off putting and cause much nagging from the wife) If this makes any …

Just thought I'd share these with you; and Looks a bit better now I've turned the PS pulley round the right way (ahem! )

My brake warning light keeps coming on. It's not the ABS light (my ABS doesn't work anyway...) - it's the red one that sort of looks like this... ((!)) The brakes feel OK and there's enough fluid in the reservoir. Any clues? Ta.

Does anybody know what the performance figures are for a uk auto and manual are? (not trying to start any arguments here guys!) chears kris

Well i have well and truly knakered my exhaust, managed to get the backbox to explode from the inside and put itself all over the outside (makes no sence but completly shagged) So now my search is on for a new exhaust. Any ideas as to whats nice, who has tried the blitz exhaust on this forum.
