Found this site....http://shitwagon.com....very amusing indeed!!!! Simon H

Hi Jeff, Are you still OK for Sunday just thought I would check. Also do you have air filters and spark plugs as well as I think these might need changing. Regards, Dean. PS. Haven't got your phone number with me

I wondered if i could have you opinions on tyre's. I am in the unfortunate position of having to replace all the tyres on my BM, and because I'm that way inclined have decided to change the wheels at the same time...long story. I have had some wheels and tyre's priced up and it seems like quite a good deal...the only reservation is the tyres, they're kumho's, and i've never had them before. Someone I know does NOT recommend them - saying that they adversley affected the handling on his car, however I have only read good things about them (particuarly from a price/performance point). Anyone have any experience/advice?

The Tailgate (Boot lid) on my Zed is well rotted just below the spoiler, an excuse to fit a larger spoiler I think! The question is. does a new Skin, e.g. a spoiler ordered from the z-center include the complete tailgate, or is it, as the name implies, just a cover for the original tailgate i.e. I have to replace the boot lid first ? Herman

i think you need to change your back wheels around mate http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/timmy_turbo/tt300zxsideon.jpg i will make no mention of people who know the cars should know the wheels...

... lease mail me the st.pdf file from the \pdf directory of their service manual cd. My CD is fine apart from that one pdf which is corrupt. Its quite large - so having a fat connection to the internet is advised - prior to hitting send - otherwise it will take hours. I have a 1meg link so go for it! Many thanks. andy@viewscast.com AndyGP

FUCK ME! These cars are powerful, when you've been driving around in a n/a Captain Kirk for months on end and then jump back into a Twin Tub it can be bad for your health!!! I still haven't had my foot right to the floor since getting the car back it just feels like it's gonna take off into orbit. Could it be to do with having that extra cylinder firing? I think so! LMAO Came out of work last night, waiting at a junction onto the dual carriageway and out I go heading for the outside lane as I was on my way to Wesco then it happened!!! I shit my shorts! Put my foot down to a about half throttle, turbos came in and I fuckin' fishtailed big time. Lifted off …

My car pics are now in my rides section, bonus prize for those that can spot the Rottweilers!!! ROFL

.....putting power steering on a D reg Sierra. The grandfather has hit a bit of a downwards slope over the past 3 months and is not as strong as he once was. He says that he now struggles to turn the wheel and to be fair to him, I have tried to turn the wheel on his Ford and although its easy for me, I can see how he would have difficulty. He has asked me if it would be easy to get power steering put on it and I was wondering if you guys new if it was as easy as just changing the rack, sticking the piping in and attaching the motor courtesy of a belt.

is my Z getting slower? I hate it when this happens. I know its human nature to want more but for F*cks sake. I have nearly 300BHP and I'm still not happy. Is/has everyone gone through this or is it just me. I remember when I went to test drive the bugger, I shit myself thinking that I wasn't going to have enough strength to hold on to the wheel. NOW, I'm fish-tailing with one hand whilst check the totty out. No offence ladies. Is there a cure or am I just a greedy b*stard?

Okay - I f**ked up. Caught by a GATSO, I am the only named driver so I can't get out of it. I was coming off the 5 ways r/about in Birmingham, it's a dual carriageway, no pedestrian walkways or anything (I don't speed in built up areas). Got any ideas what I'll get - closest wins a bumper sticker!

this man is really on the ball, i have to say. He always has a good price for me, i never have to ask if he could make it cheaper, and he always gets my goodies to me at 7.20am the next day. Thanks very much and everyone else could take a note out of this mans book ------------------ BUFF MAN 300ZX SUPER HERO!!!! or is that DUFFMAN????

i hate to burst anyones bubble, but after i fitted my breather kit, it worked for presicly about500 miles, it now does exactly what the car was doing before i fitted it. i mean do we need to clean these things out or what is the story, but im well pissed because it is just a waste of money. ------------------ BUFF MAN 300ZX SUPER HERO!!!! or is that DUFFMAN????

I dont want to start a new topic about it but I will find out really soon which one is faster and better. I own an AUTO and I am buying a MANUAL as well. Both stock I will put them to the test. As for the 0.60 times for the AUTO some guy said 7/8 sec... Did you forgot to release the handle break when you did that time? No need to answer that

See, I knew you'd just have to read this. Seriously though, I'm looking at installing my T/C in the next few days, I would like to fit the 6-way switch to the left of the steering column next to the warning lights. What I don't like is the 70s style switch, looks like its from a radiogram! Does anyone know how to spec the switch, I'm trauling through the Maplin web site, if anyone could help I'd be grateful, I'm looking for a switch more 'in keeping' radiused corners and perhaps a tad smaller. Any ideas guyz? Thanks Tim [This message has been edited by TT Tim (edited 16-11-2001).]

How much, and where can I order a zeemax louvered panel like mac1's?

Just been to Halfords and bought some 130W bulbs and a set of rectangular driving lamps to fit in the front skirt. Has anyone wired a set in to come on with the main beam and if so how's it done? The lampos come with a harness and dash switch. I've seen a write up to make the fogs come on like this so I'll probably do this too and make my Z look like a christmas tree! Are the main/dipped/fogs all on separate fuses? Just wondered if uprating the bulbs will result in a meltdown when all on at once?

anyone with front calipers for sale ??? if so please contact me. thanks

Anyone else out there with a Z who lives or drives in shropshire
