Hi All Im looking to upgrade my suspenion in early 2002 and was wondering what the reaction was of the peeps who got the Koni's recently?? Also, what springs have u guys used? CheerZ

Now its snowy Traction Control is a must. It doesnt make you grip loads but it keeps your wheels at a managable speed. Example, pulling off. With the TC on I still skid but I can just keep the power at roughly the same place and the TC doesnt allow the Revs move any higher untill it starts to grip. Then no matter how much power you try to put on it wont allow it. I turned it off and tired to pull off, straight away the wheels started to spin, but as soon as they did the revs shot up to about 4000 because of the slip and thus making the wheels spin even more. I let off and tried to ease some power in. In no time at all the wheels spun. Forgetting that I had it on in a …

Moving out of UK, so having put the originals back I now have a spare set of UK spec headlights for 300ZX. If interested, drop me an email petri.karjalainen@pp.inet.fi

If you also have multi speed turbo timer and you have some 1/4 post the best so far.

did ecu diagnostics over the weekend and the first of the 02 sensors came back as faulty, light was not flickering, didb't even come on. In the near future thinking of decatting the exhaust and wondered where the sensor lives in relation to the cats. How easy is it to replace the sensor and whats the cost/best place to purchase. Any help appreciated. MCZX ps realise that this maybe in the wrong place.

in the dark aswell! Would like to thanl all those that have posted details on upgrading lights with the halfords substitutes. Last time I bought a bulb I paid ~£34 from Middlehurst, and at that price I was never likely to upgrade the bulbs. 2x 30% brighter bulbs £15.98, connectors £1.09 = night vision. Thanks MCZX

I was looking on the HKS USA website at a very tasty looking carbon and titanium exhaust for the 300 and I was wondering does anyone know if they are available for the 2+2 twin turbo as the american turbo model is a two seater only?. Also how come the american 300zx, which (and I could be wrong on this) has extra exhaust restrictions due to pre-cats and is set to run on lower octane fuel than the UK model,(92 as opposed to 95) pushes out 300bhp and responds better to mods (it seems) than the Uk/japan models which push out 'only' 280bhp? Thanks for any help, Brian.

People, I have just found this site which will be of interest to you as I know that a lot of you were looking for door/hood seals and the like. I have no idea if they are a good Company to deal with. WWW.used300zxparts.com Happy New Year to everyone. Sunray

A few interesting top speed runs from several cars (300's, skylines, a cossie, a golf with 2 engines !) http://300zx-twinturbo.com/vidz/maxpower.wmv (34Mb) Let's hope Warren won't be watching this video...or we'll see some serious SE-bashing once again -Eric [This message has been edited by lymon (edited 30-12-2001).]

hello all, I know I'm getting too old for this, but I had a head to head with a Subaru RB5 (or whatever theyre called) tonight on the motorway (both cars were alongside each other at the lights and we took off from a rolling start) and the subaru simply destroyed my Z,pulling a good 10-12 car lenghts on me up to about 100mph, at which stage the Z held him and gradually started to catch him, but sanity on both our parts meant the race was called off at 120mph, and with a flash of his hazards he pulled off. All I could see modified was an oval exhaust... what the hell happened? are Zs really that slow? Brian

Having been inspired by someone on here who said changing those drippy silicone filled bushes for the Superflex ones was a doddle and achievable on 1 and a half hours, today the sun came out, it went above zero and I went for it. Got one side done in 2 hours. Bitch is gettin the bolt out of the bush cos it wants to go where the intercooler plumbing is maybes an NA can be done quick! The old bush is pretty squidgy - anybody got drippy ones get them fixed now. So got the bolt out by pulling the arm at an angle allowed by said wobbly bush. After trying the vice to force (Muller was the term used previously)the new one in and having it pop out all the time - dont you j…

There is a squeeking noise coming from one of my wheels of my car. I think its only happening when I am turning slightly. It sounds very much like when you squeeze one of those squeeky toys slightly. Its not like long squeek, its like bouncing on a bed. Any one any idea what it is? Stuart

One for the I.T guys. I have just got hold of a 128 mb compact flash card for my Kodak 3400, it was previously used in a canon camera (not sure which type). I can read and write to it with the usb reader but my camera cannot access it and just powers down. I have tried formatting it but with no success. I suspect that the Canon and Kodak cf formats are incompatible. Is there any way to completely trash everything on the card including all partition info and formatting as the manual for my camera says it will automatically reformat a new blank card. The other problem is that since I can only access the card via the usb reader I cannot use any dos apps. Thanks. …
