Hi Guys Just got the car back from major service (£631.49) gulp!! the machanic has brought to my attention the o/s/f track control arm bush is leaking. Is this a big job? Does anyone have recommendations for parts? Cheers Martin

Z logo has just arrived on my Nokia. Kudos to ya fella!! Thanks m8 ------------------ Glen :)

I went to replace my battey today and after putting it in, the engine won't turn over. The problem sounds as though the starter motor is just spinning and as I said the engine is just not turning over. I put in the old battery and jumped started it, but the same thing, just spinning up noise coming from the drivers side of the engine bay. Has anyone any ideas what it could be? Cheers Vijay

Jonny at Grasshopper supplied me with a Turbo Breather kit. Had it fitted along with new SS braided brake pipes from the Z Centre and USA fog lights from Courtesy Nissan. The kit works great, thanks Jonny. The Fog lights look super and with Osram H3 bulbs allow more rapid passage on dimly lit roads.The old girl looks even more beautiful now. Bill

Just had an exhaust fitted, never heard of the make Fujitsubo and the websites mostly in Japanese. Anyone had one?

email me for details if interested....

There are so many brands of oil that I don't know what to get for the best. When I first start my car up, it makes a knocking noise but then it goes away after a couple of seconds. Sometimes it comes back but if I rev it again, it goes!

and I quote: "There are no numbers or info displayed on the boost controller, there is just a knob." RAFLMFAO Im sorry but im sitting here trying to work out how to fit this thing and now I cant take it seriously anymore. ...there is just a knob.... ------------------ Glen :)

What happened? I explained. Where was it? Told them. What is the damage? Told them. I explained to them that it would not be a good idea to use one of their recommended repair places. They told me to obtain a quote for a spoiler and they will organise my windscreen replacement. I did tell them to hold fire though as I want to see how much it costs first because there would be no point losing a years no claims and paying the excess. They said no problems, just call them when I get a quote. Am pleasently suprised by their attitude. So how much for a new spoiler (with break light) made of fibreglass, fitted and all the gubbins? …

Just thought I'd share my disgust at this obviously male chauvinist sexist drivel in the hope that we can get together and stop such nonsense being spread about the superior sex. I'll see you guys at the next feminist workshop at Greenham Common. Female Guinness Book Of Records : 1. Car Parking: The smallest kerbside space successfully reversed into by a woman was one of 19.36m (63ft 2ins), equivalent to three standard parking spaces, by Mrs.Elizabeth Simpkins, driving an unmodified Vauxhall Nova 'Swing' on 12th October 1993. She started the manoeuvre at 11.15am in Ropergate, Pontefract, and successfully parked within three feet of the pavement 8 hours…

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.
