Does anyone know if the Auto dipstick tube were loose would this cause fluid loss when driving or stationary? Smoking problem on my car, at first it appeared to look like it was coming from behind the engine, maybe gearbox area. However, after looking underneath the car yesterday smoke is coming from the exhaust around the H pipe area and wafting the length of the car and up the firewall. I have got vibration between certain speeds, car was smoking before SE so don't bother going there! Does it sound feasible that transmission oil is leaking out the rear main seal and is only noticeable when the car is stopped as it's burning up on the hot zorst?

I've posted this before, but never had an answer, thought that I'd try again: Has anyone come across an idiots guide to replacing the small window guide between the door frame and the glass, you know, the one that attaches to the back of the glass and runs up and down in the groove. It's bugging the hell out of me as the window 'pops' out of its seal at about 110. Hopefully someone out there can help. failing that how easy is it to strip the door down to get to it? Can someone also give me some part numbers. Thanks Tim

Does anyone know if the right and left plastic timing belt covers can be removed easily or does it mean taking the radiator, pulleys etc out? I want to paint them. Cheerz.

Has anyone got any bolts 2 fit a manual flywheel to crankshaft??? I'll pay for them obviously. Thanks, Shaun

Andy was sitting having a right laugh over the topic about forum & the tone of the site last night. The problem you have is all this testosterone flying around - think I might have arrived at just the right time - help the male/female balance!!!!!!! PS - Booking new baby into Hiteq for full service and once over - is it in safe hands? Quoting £450 - hows that sound? Any other places I should enquire before I book?

15 FACTS (YOU WISH) YOU DIDN'T KNOW 1. Every year, parks in London alone are doused in one million gallons of dog urine. 2. The germs present in human faeces can pass through up to ten layers of toilet paper. 3. The best (?) recorded distance for projectile vomiting is 27 feet. 4. Contrary to popular belief, if you swallow chewing gum it does not stay in the gut. Usually it will pass through the system and is excreted without incident. However, several cases have been reported where the gum has stuck in the rectum, causing the unfortunate sufferer to excrete long sticky trails of gum, like a pink spider's web. 5. Several well-documente…

Thx for alz the comments about which 300zx to buy. still more would be appreciated. In return for yiur good deeds i think you should all try going over to aclassic insurance policy. Ok its ltd milage but its well f------ cheap with no yrs no claims im 33 and i will pay 413.00 fully comp, and that icludes reoad side recovery, to and fro work, and in europe.

While I've been driving slowly because of the shitty weather I can hear more noises from the car than usual, the noise that worries me is when I engage the clutch and the pulll away slowly I hear a dull THUD from sort of behind me like something is engaging, is that normal, is that just the clutch, I never heard it before but then I usually have the music on to high. Sound s like somebody hitting the rear axle?? wierd. no2. I still have a metalic squeak from o/f/front wheel, I've had the brake stripped down and cleaned, but the noise is still there, could this be the wheel bearing on the way out?? Cheers JOHN

I've just edited my rides section in my profile and have added pics of my swb flared arch z32 tt. Gonna b pickin it up on the weekend hopefully, - cant wait!. Its been almost a year! - but deff well worth it i reckon. B nice 2 hear ur views on it peeps. The colour shots are poorer quility pics so cannot appreciate the chromaflare + the fact that the rims have gone 4 refurbishment. Looks alot nicer in reality. Flips from green to light green to blue to purple to muove + a bit of silver too. Will put sum new pics up of the finished project very soon............. Av' a good 1 guyz..............

For those who are interested i am breaking a black 92 Jap spec 300zx twin turbo manual. All spares available except drivers side wing and rear bumper. Everything else for sale in mint condition. Engine and box in perfect nick too.

as part of my lethargic approach to keeping the site up to date, i have made a change to the front page, to act as fair warning to passers by i have also moved the kemble and poole pics and clips to their own sections within events while i have this renewed interest, are there any other tech articles, faq's or such like that people want added to the relevant sections ? now is the time to le me know also, i WILL be adding a TECH ONLY forum so that people that want TECH ONLY REPLIES to their questions can get them. this DOES NOT MEAN that you have to post ALL TECH QUESTIONS but ONLY IF YOU WANT tech replies. please please please, DO NOT rep…

I'm sure the Zs are especially desisgned to keep you on your toes. This morning on the way to work, was just slowing to a stop in a row of traffic on a bit of a downhill when without any warning and in a quite sneekely fashion, my Z cut out on me. I only noticed when the dashboard turned in to the the Blackpool illuminations and the brake pedal turned in to a lead brick. Straight away I envisaged "£" signs but I started her back up and she was ok again. Whats all that about? Pheewwwww!

Hiya All, I've just uploaded some pic's of my Z before and during restoration. Just thought you might like to see them, they were certainly eye opening for me when I first saw them, check out the bonnet picture, it had 28, yes 28 dint in the bloody thing. Should have bought a new bonnet!! Regards John
