I watched Jeremy Clarkson's top 100 cars over the weekend. The tit had put the 300zx at number "94"!!!. Just a picture they showed of it and he said; "despite it's girth and soggy suspension I had to include the nissan 300zx because it was such a superb car to drive"!!!. A few consolations though, he had the ferarri 360 and porsche 911 behind it, and the supra was not even included. I like Clarkson but his videos seem to be getting worse!!!! Take my advice borrow it but don't buy it!! Simon H [This message has been edited by simon h (edited 03-12-2001).]

Chaps and Chapetts, Some feckers had a pop at me car in a carpark yesterday, not impressed, no damage as such but they tried to get in through the boot (WTF!?!) they tried to lift it using the spoiler whilst picking lock (no damage) or tried to take the spoiler off one or the other, anyway my spoiler is coming away from the car, I need a new one and I have a chip on my windscreen too, reckon it's worth going through the insurance, criminal damage? I pressed panic alarm from about 70 yards away and they took off, I wish I would have been a bit more relaxed about it and run up to the feckers and floored them, would have wiped the floor with the little gits! …

Hi guys! Having an aromatic time at the mo!!!!! When the car is just started after its been sat for a while I get about 3mins of quite intense petrol smell then its gone! I would obviously think I got a leak some place but apart from dumpin' a fag under the bonnet to find it I haven't been able to see where its comin' from! I think I read something in here about a fuel smell in a previous topic but I cant remember what was said or what caused it! Any ideas,weak areas in the fuel system I should head towards or anyone get the same thing? Cheers guys!

Hi! You will be pleased to hear that the government announced today that... All gatsos MUST be painted yellow. They must not be hidden behind anything such as a bush or road sign. Police forces will not be allow to put speed trap signs on a road without speed traps. Zee ya, Jez.

by changing the speed sensor on the g/box would this then cure my mph clock not working as well as correct my heavy steer problem. Do you no where i could obtain both these sensors (speed and ecu coolant) Thx again

My front bumper has been damaged too many times (91 UK TT). Instead of shelling out another £175 to get it plastic welded I fancy a change. I know there are lots of different styles out there, but I'd like to keep it 'kinda' original. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the 99 Style front bumper? Thanks in advance.

I've only had the 300 for 2 weeks and some strange things are happening. Its a jap 92 n/a import 2+2. I really hope somebody can point me in the right direction as i love this car but quickly becoming disheartened with these funny goings on. 1. when i break the visual lights on sign on the dash lights up. 2. my power keeps going heavy, this can be rather dangerous. 3. my mph speedo has stop working. 4. The fan comes on as soon as i start her up

Damn I tried NOS octane boost in my daily driver, 1998 Toyota Camry, and I can say Nitrous Methane really helped lol I actually peeled out on the camry o_O, in which I've never been able to do before, and after you floor it the Camry gives me a slight push into my seat, but this kept the push going for another 2 seconds, I'm damn impressed, I've used other octane boosters before but this tops the cake 7octane increase over the usual 3 or 4, on the bottle it says "for racing purposes only" I've already bought another bottle for the Z, wonder if i'll be able to feel the difference, and anyone try the thing called Nitro Power? claimed to make 25 extra hp o…

Hi, can anyone help me, I have a ticking from the top end of my engine can anyone help me with ideas? Cheers Mark

Hi Z fans! I need a driver's manual for my grey import z32 automatic. Main dealer not being successful. Can anyone help? regards ------------------ tim aka toffee rapper

Hi Z fans! Got a nasty screeching noise last night, I thought it was slipping fan belt. But disaster struck on my way home. Came back down the M5 at 10mph, any acceleration resulted in grinding noises from the area of the auto-transmission. Engine is as peachy as ever, but I think the auto transmission is shot. I've not checked the fluid for months, so I'm afraid it may be my own stupid fault.... Anyone able to confirm my suspicions? Maybe someone may know a source for an AT, should it transpire I need one? Hoping to get some options before any bad news from the main dealer on Monday. :-( regards ------------------…

Hi Guy's What makes an autobox slip!!!!. If i drive along at low revs in high gear and try to accelerate, it slips like buggery. This box has just been re-conditioned!!!! 12 months warranty etc, need some info to chuck back at the bullshit they are most likely to give me when i take it back tomorrow. Cheers Dave.

Dudes! I just bought a JWT ECU and HKS Boost Controller and frankly I am bit a lost! I know I can just socket the ECU and put the chip in, its mapped for the vg30dett Manual with Intake and Exhaust that is my car, the boost contraption is another matter, apparently according to HKS Europe website "Any time the display shows a flashing L turn knob to left"!! now I cannot understand why my Knob has to be pointing north, south or bloody towards the moon !! Seriously it all looks a tad complex, I'd love to have a crack at fitting it as my car is soon to be garaged for the winter anyways. Is it a bugger of a job or could a person with time and patience and a big hammer…

Forgive my humble stupidity, but you must have all been in my shoes at some point - just got your mits on your first Zed, and need to know a couple of bits.... feel free to snigger and stuff at how silly my questions are - I know I'll be doing the same in a few months!!!! FYI, its a 91 TT import Auto (already familiar with the poo-pooing of autos, so no need to go there!!!). Anyway, regarding fuel.... do they run okay on regular unleaded or am I renting a permanent spot at the super unleaded/Optimax pump?? I've only put Optimax in it so far, but I'm jealous of those company car drivers getting their regular fuel for about 5p a litre less, and wondered if it would be o…

I'm going to replace it next week to try and sort out this overheating problem. Any advice on the procedure or is there a "how to" page on TTNET or similar.

EMAIL ------------------

Been reading up on TTnet, and I stripped the door down today (2hrs pulling glass out, and there's still half as much in there again I'm sure), and it's still not entirely obvious how you fit new glass.. Do you have to unbolt the regulator to get access to the rails, or do you just have to try and do it all with your hand stuffed up inside the door? TIA Az

well The skylines can do it so can we!??

Play this at work and negat work will EVER get done! http://www.electrotank.com/lab/minigolf.html Enjoy

Got a problem with the Z and not sure whats going on. The little red warning light to the left of the 'doors open' warning light comes on. This is an import and the symbol looks like a little turbo with fumes coming off it (sounds bad already) and this is accompanied by horrendous misfiring. Originally I thought I just had bad connections to the coilpacks causing uneven running, but the running has got worse over the last week and now the little light comes on (though goes off if I lift off). Any advise gratefully received.

OKY DOKY we are go for a ut game tonight at about 8.30-9 pm give us replys if you are in anyway keen
