Hi, Whilst driving my brakes began to fail, until almost completly gone. The pedal just drops to the floor. Brake pipes are fine, was told that it could be the master cylinder, what do you think?

Wishing you all best of luck in the NEW YEAR. 2002 HERE WE COME!!! ------------------

Have a look at this: The pieces are made from bits of EL board with the markings stuck on the front. You should be able to to the same with the larger dials. They have also cut holes in the plastic side kick plates and stuck some EL board behind those: The power is taken from the interior lights. Anyone know where and how much you can pick this stuff up for? Trev

Have a Great New Year, I'm off to smash heads (sorry escort young gentlemen from the club) for being naughty! Have a drink for me and behave yourselves!!!! Roy

Happy new year all, Just a quick question about my ambient temp gauge. There is about 2" of snow on the ground right now and my parents came to visit me in their Cougar. Their amb temp gauge reads -1 right now, I double checked it against mine in the Z and it read +7???? WTF Are these gauges really that inaccurate, or is it just mine? I thought it was reading wrong for ages but that's proof! Are these gauges needed for anything else i.e. engine management? Many thanks in advance. Robert

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

Chap! Listen mate, I'd be grateful if you could let me know where I can buy the Yellow Arrowed items, particulaly the Fuel Hose (The braided stuff, havent arrowed it,and is it a bitch to fit?), as its winter, the zed is in a lovely warm garage and its Engine Detailing time for me Thanks fer-yer time! Ta mate Glen (one other thing - the fuel rail along the top, the red one, did you paint that or buy it - I am gonna do my engine similar to yours but in blue) [This message has been edited by senna (edited 30-12-2001).]

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
