Anyone got one???? Please!!!!!!!

The manual box in my 300zx TT has allways whined a bit but over the last few weeks i've noticed this weird sort of squeeky whine, over and above the normal gearbox noise, which is inconsistent in duration and only seems to be apparent when the car is cold. and commonly at around 1500-2000 rpm I cannot seem to pinpoint the exact source of the noise but it appears to be around the box area. If, when i hear the noise, i maintain the throttle position and dip the clutch--the noise continues but dies with the car speed. Any ideas!!

Hi Guy's After having claimed on my insurance for would you believe, Hailstone Storm Damage. Yeah!! it dented every panel on the car!!£1600 of damage. Now fixed. Got my renewal through and insurance had increased to £770 fully comp!!. After ringing around the best quote i got was with Privelege £570. So i ring my insurers back to tell them i had a better quote and they go and beat it!!! £559 Fully Comp!!. Cheers Dave.

OK here it goes, 90 TT Auto (bog standard), drives fine, does not overheat but stop the car, turn it off and low and behold it will leak coolant! Tried flushing the system for air locks. Compression is OK on all six. If the car runs off boost it will run all day quite happy - BUT give it full boost and it will start to dump coolant. Help I'm getting depressed.

Hello chaps, At the dyno day a few of you, Harve springs to mind, had made some wire mesh to sit on the front dam. Where can you purchase this stuff and how much is it? Did you rivet it on or is there another way? Thanks.

Just venting my spleen ... My Zed failed its MOT big stlyee. Excessive play in rear track rod ends (which prpbably explains the squiffy handling and accelerated tyre wear (S03's with 3k on them wearing like buggery)) The biggest expense was two corroded brake lines which they had to remove the sub frame to replace (6 hours labour for a £10 part !!!!) Still, when my wife collected it this morning at least the bill was three figures not four, Just! £996.... There goes my upgrade plan till next year. Still, on the bright side I did get to drive a courtesy Micra for 5 days ... On a serious note, does anyone know of a good mech/garage in …

ANy offers for an Auto box with knackered planet gear? The rest of the box is OK. I just want to get rid so any offers considered. I also have the gear changer & computer module. Shaun

hi everyone, just bought my first 300zx yestarday. amazed at how fast it is, anyway iam having difficulty getting it insured. can anyone recomend any companies? thanks aki

I've put my dyno plot up in the rides section under paulb Its the first time I've been on a dyno but it looks like it would have achieved higher than 230 if he hadn't done the test in auto and had it change gear. Shouldn't these plots just keep rising until they flatten at ~6000 rpm ? Any comments ? I'm just trying to find reasons why I got relatively low results. Anyway, next time I'll be more aware of what to expect. I'd like to see other peoples plots to compare.

having just bought a twin pod 60mm thingy off of Smithy I now need to find some gauges to fit. 60mm isn't the problem only what type of gauges would be worth while. I think one will definatly be a boost gauge but what would be advantages as the second gauge? Any ideas most appriciated + what make is best - Apexi, blitz etc. CheerZ Tim

Hello All, A friend of mine is selling his 1999 supra. It has got a tiptronic gearshift with steering wheel mounted gearchange (great fun!), traction control, and has the new vvti engine (a conservative estimate would be about 340bhp, very fast car). It's titanium in colour and has about 30,000 miles. He wants about mid twenties for it. Send me a mail if you're interested. Cheers, Brian.

There comes a time in a mans life, when having a baby is the 'right thing' to do. Here are my new born twins: Arn't they nice?? Hopefully it won't be long before they're attached to their single parent - who'll respect them, and feed them clean oil! (Simon, I think its time for some sleep mate!) I'll let you know how the fitting goes when my pistons arrive, and the engines been rebuilt! Nite ------------------ Simon

I've heard you don't check your mail that regularly, so I thought I'd let you know you had some coming your way.

Hey all Dfinately sounds like its knocking from the lower end. sounds like just one cylinder or bearing or whatever it is knocking. extremely bad when first starting the car from cold but within a second gets a lot lot quieter when the oil pressure picks up. any ideas?? Gonna oil and filter it tomorrow but any other ideas? Cheers
