FWIW I read about this book on Z31, it has loads of styling info, aftermarket parts, bodykits etc.. Well I went to a Japanese book shop today and found a copy. It really is amazing to see so many products on offer. Every conceivable part: alloys, performance clutches etc..etc. Loads of colour pictures too. All products are made my 300 specialist companies in Japan. I didn't buy it in the end cause a) Its in Japanese b) It was 23pds. However, if your really serious about modding then this is definatly worth considering. All you need is a Japanese speaker to order you the goodies. If anyone wants a copy I can let you know where to find it…

I'm about to stick some 300zx calipers on my S13 and am wondering which pads to go for. I am considering yellow or greenstuff from EBC Does anyone have an opinion, advice or experience on this? Jezz.

Although it's now 5K late I'm sorting out the 60,000 ml service. I am intending changing the following: Cam Belt Water pump Thermostat Is there anything else that should really be changed/renewed at this time? I have looked at the Courtesy 'kit' and spoken to Darren who thought that most of it was unnecessary. Any comments gratefully recieved. Cheers guyz Tim

what turbos does my z have fitted it is a 92 tt uk started making a funny wining noise last night engine was warm and when i accelarated and the turbo came in i herd a wine that i have never herd b4 so i presume that is not a good sign that my turbos have a lot of life left in them would it b possible for me to just buy a repare kit and do my own repares i have quite alot of mechanical skills (my supra engine is in bits on my kitchen work top)

I can get a proper set of R33 tailights. What i would like to know is why has noone tried a set of these lights. Do they not fit, would i be able to get them to fit???

As a follower of this club with very special intrest as i have done a lot of work with nissan in the past, i had a special observation role on your dyno day, all the peak reading are absolutly 100s, for the auto's torque figures are only valid at 5000 rpm and above, exelent turnout , exelent figures even for those who think they did'nt think they done so well, all 210+ BHP GOOD. If you don't believe retest and post results, auto's were weak.

Got my Z back from having a new radiator, water pump, cam belts, iridium plugs, accessory belts and it overheated again. The radiator bottom connector had cracked off and so the water was gushing out. I assumed this was why it was overheating - the water drained out after 30 mins of driving and began to boil. I drove 2 hours back from Wigan to Leeds with no probs but as I stopped at home the needle went into the red. Hiteq tested the head gasket and compression and said it was OK. They did 50 miles in it with no probs. No water missing this time just hot. Fans are all working correctly. Before the radiator burst the car overheated three times for no apparent reaso…

Having an mot test tomorrow afternoon it`s gonna fail on worn tie bar bushes, anyway the handbrake needs adjustment and im gonna do this in the morning. Question: is the adjustment at the rear wheels or the handbrake lever or both? Any guidance would be appreciated. Cheerz Ian.

Just spoken to the guy who I sold my Z to and he loves the car and it's been great. Just what I DON'T want to hear !!! If anyone is thinking of selling - DON'T ! Dave

We are going to be playing from about 9 pm will post closer to time

I've put a pic of my HKS Super AFR and Autometer Air/Fuel ratio gauge, which are mounted in my glovebox, in my rides section. If anyone is interested. Cheers. Rob.

OK, I'm going to get my MOT today and driving there in the heavy rain. Suddenly, the engine starts cutting in and out and I feel like I'm riding a kangaroo. One time, it cut out at low speed and the engine actually stalled completely. Any ideas what this could be? It seems to have vanished completely now! I've had it happen maybe once before and thats it but it got really bad today (I had to pull over at one point). On the way home, I was driving pretty slowly and the car was fine. But, I thought I'd try nailing it for a second and it triggered it off again. I think this could be coincidence though as I was going pretty slow on the way there because of the rain. …

my battery has not seemed to have enough power to turn the engine over. even after charging over night, it would not hold the charge and went down to 10v. I went and got a new battery today and since then my old battery has been turning over the engine first time without any strain. I just wanted to know if anyone has had this experience before and do you think my old battery is just gonna give up without notice. Cheers Vijay

I'll 'fess up right away, I'm on a quick infiltration mission from my normal home on the Supra forum. Just had to ask this, I keep seeing two Z's, one red, one yellow, near Aldershot or on the A331. I reckon the yellow 'un wanted to play but there was way too much traffic. Anyone here? Graham (Silver MkIV)

First rule in Building a skyline engine Turbo must be bigger than your head [This message has been edited by 300z (edited 30-11-2001).]

Hi guy's the main fan attached to the water pump, on starting the engine it spins very fast for the first minute or two then slows down never noticed it before, seems a bit stiff to rotate, just wondering if it's the norm? Been toying with the idea of fitting a big kenlowe fan anybody already gone down this route????? cheerZZZZZz
