$130 AUSTRALIAN and they are yours. Hmmm how many guys would be interested in this? [This message has been edited by craig (edited 10-12-2001).]

Does anyone know of any cheap websites where you can buy electrical goods like VCR's, DVD players etc. I've tried a few but they are all virtually the same price as the high streets.... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Chris

last night saw this class looking Z on the Rettendon Turnpike roundabout on the A130 heading towards South Woodham Ferrers in Essex. It was a deep metallic purple with a complete Veilside kit. (Similar to Sennas without the big spoiler. I pulled up behind it and the exhausts were vibrating my car like anything!! This motor looked proper flash. If its anyones on here, gets some snaps of it now!!!! Chris

I talked to a jeweler about custom jewelry to create a all metal silver key to look exactly like the titanium key, he's creating the mold now and it's going to cost me $45 for the mold and first key, if it turns out good he said he can make more key blanks (cause he'd have the mold from mine) that he can create replicas for $20 each I'll post pics later of how it turns out, if it turns out good anyone else intrested?

this is such a half assed paint job, the guy should be shot for turning the Z so ugly.....

ok, theres been loads of posts on the new springs and shocks group buys lately but no-one at all seems to have mentioned anything about any of the bushings or camber adjustment. There are people on the forum who know far more about this than me but surely if I get someone to put on my nice new springs and shocks they're going to completely upset the relationship of my tyres with the road. Are the stock upper links on the front suspension adjustable so we can set up the camber correctly ? Don't fancy wearing out a set of tyres in an afternoon.... well I do, but not like that. Also at the back know even less about this, surely a camber adjustment is needed here too if…

I found this 2day, a site that has some options on customizing your gauges - http://www.mmrusa.com/gauges.htm ps, it states "If your vehicle is not listed in this chart MMR can make them for you!!!!!" - Assuming they can make them 180mph donno, I'll call Monday when they're open and get some info on that, for you guys.

Oh shit, my life story just overflows with one thing going wrong with my Zed after the other ... Today, after having installed a shiny new JWT pop charger, the car has developed what I can best describe as a "lumpy cruise". Basically, driving along at a steady 70mph (on the motorway), the car seems to accelerate and decelerate ever so slightly all on it's own accord. It is almost as if there is something that is temporarily increases the air resistance and then disappears again. (and before you state the obvious, no it wasn't windy) It causes the normaly smooth cruise to be jerky (albeit slightly but enough to annoy me and defo enough to have the girlfriend give me f…

Hi, I've just fitted a manual gearbox to my 300z & have found that when in gear & accelerating, there's a grinding noise when revs between 1000 & 1500. Has anyone come across this problem before? Also found that the thrust bearing is knackered!!! I'm getting cheesed of with my Z!!!!!

After the performance just (the car being all over the road ) Me and me old man decided its time for some new boots. Anyway what we would like to know its whats the best tyre for your money? They are stock jap rims btw. So what are they taking into account the grip (important...very), wear (dont want tyres where money gets lines the road), and price (want something cheap as possible that it good). So what do you think? Thanks in advance guys

Re Breather Mods The current threads on the above have reminded me of the Cossy mods I did some years ago and the same would effectively work on the zed with some slight variations. From the drawing below it can be seen that by linking the two breathing area's (sump & cam cover together and using an oil separator that the oil is scavenged and returned to the sump, a collector can be used in place of the sump return but the system becomes a two way system as apposed to a three way and the benefits of this. From the diag and assuming engine is running at high revs and boost level is high, vacuum levels are nil, any blow by at the piston rings which ma…

OK shoot me down in flames for being stupid BUT with regard to the turbo gauge on dash, (UK model -14 to + 14 p.s.i). Should the needle rest at -14 on idle, mine isn't, (about a fifth up) does this mean ive got a leak somewhere or am I just panicking? Oh and on the subject any advice on silicone or stainless pipes for a replacement? [This message has been edited by BigRoy (edited 09-12-2001).]

Found this site at http://shop.potn.co.uk/ It sells the usual "max power" stuff incl alloys, hoses etc. Prices seem alright too. Worth a browse IMHO.
