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

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

Hi guys, Please excuse me if there is any misspelling in this post, cause it's my birthday and I'm drunk . Anyway, because I was drunk tonight, two of my friends drove my car (one to drive me in to town and another to drive me back out.) And both said the same thing..that the Z is very sluggish and not even remotely close to its usual performance levels. Both of them said that their cars were more responsive and quicker (and one of them drives a peugot 306!) I have had the CAS timing checked, and it reads 15. BTC, the fuel filter has been replaced, and I have reset the ECU, but all to no avail. Please guys can you help me out, I really am at my wits end. …

Hey, just been archiving back and noticed some of the comments on the air/fuel gizmo thats in my car! Do I take it is not a good thing and needs to taken out asap??????? Di

Hi guys Thanks for all your help & advice today. Sure I'll be taking the offers up along the way! Resigned to the insurance, nothing I can do, so I'll just look forward to picking it up at the weekend and enjoy the drive down from Scotland - good tester. Andy, I think for peace of mind I need the full monty, cam belt, filters, watwer pump, oil change and locate this damn oil leak. If its expensive I will be crying out for help, the insurance premium has eaten into our maintenance allowance! Hiteq suggested - sound okay to you? Your right Andy I am not far away at all - arent I the lucky one!!! Looked at you events pics, looks fun, whats the …

Or maybe not so sweet. I know that this has been talked about before but frankly I can't be arse to search for the old threads seeing as we are producing atleast a whole screen of up to date threads per day. However......I have become concious of the car vibrating when I near speeds of 70 and above. My initial thoughts were that it could be the centre prop bearing but Jeff TT tells me that it could be the gearbox mounting bush(I think thats what he said - sorry memory like a siv' sorry Jeff). I will be doing a test tomorrow to see if the vibration remains with a slip it in to neutral. Has anyone else had these symptoms and if so, how did you resol…
