Just to recap, I took my Z to SE a month ago. It was running really crap, chucking out loads of oil, very low compression etc. After a week I got a call telling me that the engine had to come out and be rebuilt. I told them to go ahead with it. I had a call this weekend giving me an update: 1. The engine had been rebuilt recently but not put together right hence the problems. 2. The heads needed skimming and valve seats re-cut. 3. Broken piston rings found and some damage to cylinders. 4. A few new valves would be needed. 5. Turbos stripped and found to be ok. Ok I said but when will it be ready “well that’s the problem” they said “our engine man h…

So whats the most wacky thing uve seen on the roads then? To start the ball rolling.. For me it must be a truck right in front of the car having a blowout, swurving over all 3 lanes a few time before rolling and resting on the verge before setting fire.

Come on then, don't be shy!!! ROFL Get yer excuses for the best Z out in the open! This should be most interesting! LMAO

I always seem to strip bolts out at the most opportune time and in the most unbelievable positions. Ijust stripped the bolt that binds the drive shaft to the input shaft and i have no idea how im gonna get myself outa this mess. Just venting Fraustration. :rolleyes Works in progress (winter break): - replace stripped 2nd gear (ouch) -repairing 2 oil leaks (pan gasket and turbo seal) -Replacing factory KKK 26/6 turbo with a large garret item. -Installing an upgraded Mass Air sensor oh yea.... billet control arms.

hello folks new member here... had my Z just a week and loving it... (so far) catch you laters...

i ve noticed a slight oli leak from the engine ( few drips on the drive )near side... any idears any one ? its only just happened ?mostly when the car has been on a good run. the cars done about 59,000 miles...

------------------ Glen :)

Im looking at putting a new set of alloys on the Zed soon. The fitments available are: 8 x 18 or 10 x 18. Will i be able to get 10 x 18 all round? Or will have to get the smaller fitment at the front.... Im also looking to lower the car at the same time by approx 30-40mm all round. Cheerz

Got this buzzing noise on all the time when driving or idle or whatever. I *think* its the fuel pump but cant be sure. It does it for a second or 2 when u switch the ignition on b4 starting then stays on all the time and goes off about 2 seconds after u switch the engine off. It normal? What do you reckon it is?

When you pull away, it only happens when pulling away the first time off the drive btw. Anyway there is a wierd noise, its an electric motor sound for about 3/4 of a second coming from the back (drivers side I think). Any ideas what it is? Is it normal?

Right we're suffering the old problem of the onnet catch squeaking like a bird on drugs (thats a flying bird dont let ur imagination run away with ya ). Anyway Az told me I should grease up the catch and the U bolt. So what should I do it with? Tell me a specific product to use.

right the HICAS light is driving us all crazy now and its time to do something about it so what to put in there? Dont know whats currently in it. I heard Dexron III ATF, would it be ok to just add some of that into whatever is allready in there?

....however I recently received an invoice for a 300ZX part as a WKS file. I think this is M/S Works? But how can I open this - I have Office (professional, etc....). Thanks, Geoff

Just wondering if there were any more Z owners in Swindon, have only seen one about so far. There must be some more nutters out there. Jay

Almost unknown for some years, GReddy/Trust have a UK dealer. SVS (Special Vehicle Service) 7 Bishopsmead Parade East Horsley, Surrey, KT24 6RT, UK tel: 01483-285657 website: www.specialvehicle.co.uk Tim, the owner, told me he has been trying for some time to get GReddy to update their site with his details. He has only just succeeded, after several years of trying.... So "not alot of people know that". If you contact Tim mention www.300ZX.co.UK, and who knows, we may get offered some deals/discounts. (Fyi, SVS have a monthly 'container' from Japan if not a stock item). [This message has been edited by Geoff (edited 15-12-2001).]

Im sure someone said something about DOT 5 synthetic can damage the rubber seals in the calipers so what is best to use. Is that castrol response Dot 4 any good? Paul
