Just had a trip in my mates new M Coupe. Very impressive performance and it's the very first time I've been truly amazed by stopping power. Shiiiite but the brakes are good. I wish the ZX's were just half as good. Ugly little bugger but theres something very appealing about the Coupe. I think it would actually leave most Zeds for dead! Not my Caterham though!!!! Simon

Hey all Put the straight through 2.5" stainless system on the 300zx TT and had the cats taken out. Problem is i left the car for a while and they binned the CAT sensors and cut the wires to them because i hadnt left instructions with them of what to do?!! FU**WITS Anyways went to Nissan to try and find a new pair of 02 sensors and they supplied me a pair that looked nothing like the ones that were on the car!!! they supplied the ones that are supposed to be on uk and Jap spec models (after taking my chasis no) and they arent the ones. mine have two wires on each 02 sensor and the ones they supplied have three wires on each. wouldnt mind cutting and joining b…

Just making sure, white smoke would mean there's either a radiator hose loose, or a head gasket going bad right?

Ok if any of you guys want to remove your cats and replace them with straight through pipes. (i suspect jp imports really as they have no precats) They will do them for £100.00 That is it. and i must say waht a difference this has made to my car. It just feels so much better you wont believe.

I'm thinking of changing the fluid in my a/t - on the advise of Brian Corish (thanks mate). I have read the previous posts on the forum re this subject but am still unclear as to which is the correct type (i.e., viscosity). Could someone please tell me which brand to purchase or if the stuff at uncle Harry's is okay to use ... Thanks a bunch! Danny Oh yeah, and any tips on the tranny draining procedure would be appreciated as well - i.e., where and how ...

Hi! My car is coming up to 57000 miles and I really need to get the cambelt changed. Does anyone from around here know of a good garage that will do it? I'm trying to avoid the cost of a main dealer as I've just sheled out £400 for a clucth.

I had a new clutch fitted esterday, the old one was slipping like crazy. The guy recommended that I had the flywheel skimmed as I had a slight judder when pulling off in 1st. Only cost an extra £40 and the difference is fantastic - feels like a new car again. Anyone else had to have this done with a new clutch. Also how much is a reasonable price - I paid £400 all in, for a 3 piece with 2 year warranty.

Noticed my Zed has been a bit underpowered over the last week or so. So went under the bonnet last night and found a very small pipe had come off under the RH side throttle body pipe at the top. Put it back on and F**K ME what a difference!!!!. What is this crappy little pipe and what does it do???. Just trying to gain some knowledge guys (you don't realise how many pipes there are on these thing until you start looking for one that may have come off!!) Cheerz Simon H 1

What is the average age of a Z owner? ( I know I have too much time on my hands) can everyone post their ages? am I the youngest owner (22) or is there someone younger?

I remeber some guys on here wanted brighter bulbs. I came across this US site which sells a HID kit. They are rather pricey but mabe someone in the UK can supply them cheaper or a similar kit. http://www.midnightmoose.com

Anybody aware of the story behind the following 2 Zagota models? 1992 Nissan 300 Bambù 1992 Nissan 300 Seta Were they commissioned by Nissan, just like the Strosek 300zx? Geoff [This message has been edited by Geoff (edited 08-11-2001).]

Nicked from this weeks Autoexpress - Mums the word ! Nissan 350Z That's the fastest-selling sports car of all-time? The MGB? The Mazda MX-5? Wrong - and wrong again: it's the Datsun 240Z. Launched in 1969 with slick looks, great handling and a bargain price, it established the Japanese firm both here and in the US - and proved the last nail in the coffin of the British sports car industry. And here's the proof that the Z is far from dead. It's making a comeback in six months' time - and in some style. We couldn't wait until then to see if it is as good to drive as it is to look at, so we climbed behind the wheel of of an early development car at Nissan's Tochigi …

Ok had to mention this. On Saturday night it is about 10.58 and the mad lot from up north decide to order pizza. Anyway the place closes at 11.pm we get our order in and the guy has to travel 13 miles in the pissing rain. (you would think that would be enough). But no Johhny insists on getting a discount, so we get pizza at trade price muwhahahahaha we got free garlic bread and a discount of what i cant remember. Nice one Johhny [This message has been edited by 300z (edited 07-11-2001).]

OK does a Turbo Timer, Momo Wheel and fooking octane boost count as modification? If so I have no cover and quite frankly fuck owning a zed coz I am only allowed 3 mods with NU Direct, they know about my Bodykit, Wheels and zorst. I forgot to mention the HKS filter and dump valves, am i in trouble, I think i am. Bollocks, I could not get cover with anyone else So by my reckoning I have the following undeclared: Dump valves, Momo Wheel, Turbo Timer, HKS Filter, Speed meter and Fuel/Air mixer (even tho the bastard things are switched OFF). Great ! this renders my car un-insurable as I have no NCB and am on my fathers NUDirect policy. Basically I am giving th…
