just wondering cause my jap spec clocks look crap, so if i purchase uk spec ones with 180 mph will they just go straight on

Just been reading your post in the tech area and see you were driving from bournemouth to MK, do you live down here? There are a few of us "soft southerners" about It wasn't you I spotted today at 1.30 near Alder Hills was it?

Just to let u see that little fella!!!!!

Does anybody have a cheap Escort Van (Mk4/5) they are flogging, petrol or diesel. Doesn't really matter on condition, so long as its pretty clean. I only want to spend about £300. Long story why.......!! Cheers Chris

Ive just had an idea!!!!! Next time there is a big cruise i think we should get a load of us to go just to embarass all the nova and saxo boys and show em how its really done ZED STYLEE!!!!!!! Ive heard theres one in a few weeks in doncaster!!!! What do u recon? Video cameras will have to be present to get the action!!!

Has anyone out there ever changed the main bearings on a manual box? I think mine are shagged because there's a grinding noise at low revs in every gear whilst powering up. I'm just wondering if it's something I could do & if so, how expensive are they? Also I need a thrust bearing too!

Hi peeps, Just 2 let u know that i've updated my rides section with new pics. Its all on the road now and am well pleased with it. The amount of attention the car generates is madness!!!, with the most common reaction being "wot the fcuk is that man??!!!". Cant help smilin myself sometimes! - lol!. Ol' bill pulled me up city for no reason just 2 get a closer look at the motor - didnt even have my seat belt on!.Apart from that had a mad scare on Saturday too!. Approachin a set of lights on a main road local in my area. Noticed a decked out M3 EVO speedin up behind me which then decides to come up beside me revving up like an idiot. I thought WTF and prepared myself fo…

Finally!!!!!!!! I got my pics in the rides section! Have to say, shes looking mighty fine!! Then again its a zed...... of course it does!

Here's the deal I wanted to get indiglo gauges for my Z, however, as you probably know, there ARE differences between the JPN / US (NA and TT) / and Euro set of gauges... Besides the US Spec NA & TT, nothing is comercially available. So I stated to look around... I would find a way to PRINT faces on transparent film (so basically I can create whatever layout I want, including Custom Jobs) i.e. Speedo up to 300 km/h .. [place permitting] Speedo up 200 mph [place permitting] Speedo in MPH only Speedo in Km/h Only Speedo in MPH (main scale) Km/h (secondary scale) And that would work for TT (160 mph in the US)and NA faces (140 mph) …

Christ, scrapped all the ice of the windows this morning, pulled off when down the road, and there was an almighty crack/bang**..//!! It came from the roof/T-bar. Stopped the car to expect a brick has landed on top and cracked my t-top to kingdom kum, but nothing can only assume it's the ice that welds the seals together, anyone else had this problem, I think I'll coat the seals in grease to prevent them from doing this over the winter period!!!!!!! Jonny.....

Anyone here? Was with the missus in her Micra so couldnt show support without looking a right idiot!

Just registered with this forum, had my 300 for about 8months now and I love it. Decided to treat myself (mid life crisis people say, so what! I say). It's an Auto import, in great condition 45000miles (so it says) engine sounds and runs silky smooth. Hoping to learn more about the model and keep it up to scratch with the help of you guys on this forum LOCKY

Man, these insurance companies are real iceholes.And they say they're losing money on car insurance. Well they ain't losing money from me!! The difference between a jap and Uk spec car is pretty minimal, & if you then bear in mind the mods we do, and that we do not really care if it's a uk spec or a jap spec part i can't see what the problems is. So i'm thinking about either organising a special insurance scheme for us jap Z's or buying a Uk spec car and swopping the VIN, though I have not figured out what to do about the bulkead VIN stamp. Have youz guys any other ideas? Anyone interested in supporting an insurance scheme? Anyone know a professional c…

Bought a 91 300 import about 8 months ago (mid life crisis I'm told, but who cares) and I absolutely love it. It's in great nick and the motor is smooth and rattle free. However the car has developed a vibration which I can feel through the seat, which comes in at about 60mph. It is not affected by engine revs. I'm thinking drive/prop shaft joints or dare I say it differential. Any ideas/tips The car has clocked 45000miles, has 4 new tyres and the wheels have been balanced twice
