Hiya all, Thought I'd share this experience with you speed freaks ... This afternoon it took me 3hours to cover exactly 250 meters! If my calculations are correct that is whopping top speed of no less than 0.05 miles per hour! Reason: Bomb scare in central Birmingham had the city centre completely gridlocked since last Sat evening. Nothing really happened but the cops are still arsing around ... Now, I dare any one of you to beat this new record! Cheers! Danny --> sure as hell didn't look like this smilie this afternoon - there's nothing more frustrating than not getting anywhere fast in a Zed!

Hey guys, hoped you could fil in the blanks for me... 91 NA 2+2 Auto 1) What is the most common thing that causes a ZX to behave differently when cold then normal when up to running temp? 2) ANy of you guys used Toyo T1-S tyres? I have had a set on for 3 weeks now, what sort of lifespan do they have? 3) Anyone here got a Veilside steering wheel? any good? 4) ANyone on the list play guitar? (I teach guitar, just curious) Thanks Sean

Hi Guys, Have posted some pics of my new Zed in the rides section for those who have not seen it. Will post some more pics once I have sneaked out the digital camera from work. Cheers Deano.

I hope everything goes fine. I hope the installation goes fine and my order arrives safely And hopefully kick some ass.

If I had the money Timski I think this would be my second car, the Z would always be first though! Very Nice..... Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Hi all, I'm trying to order a part from Nissan but (as usual) they haven't a clue what I'm talking about. Could someone please post the part number for the following: Passenger side front wheelarch liner that runs from the front spoiler up to about 1/3 of the wheel arch. There is an identical part on the driver side and two large plastic liners under the engine. I only need the number for the passenger side wheelarch liner. Many thanks! Danny

hi all, ive been reading through your forums and found it to be very intresting. anyway i was wondering if any of the members had bought their 300zx through an import agency. if so would they be able to recomend any of them, iam really intrested in buying a 300zx and think importing it will be the cheapest way to buy one. iam open to other suggestions if anyone has any. thanks

Right then its about time for some new alloys, what can you guys and girls recommend, without being too pricey, and any good places to buy from. Cheers JOHN

Oh dear, I went to ATS at Chesterfield this morning to get a tyre sorted as well as my tracking (which is loads better now). While the car was on the ramp, me and the bloke were having a good look around the rear end, when I notice oil which was virtually black and very smelly leaking slowly from a small pipe, the bloke at ATS tells me its coming from the rear transmission, what does this mean, is this a major job, expensive etc. please somebody tell me this is not terminal. Regards JOHN

After loosing the right bulb last week, I decided to go and get a new pair of those lights with a blue tint to them. You know, the ones that they have on the new cars nowadays. Anyway, got the old bulb out, connected the new. NO JOY! Checked the fuse, looks ok - OH POO!! Anybody have any ideas? I'm going to get the test light out and check for current but of there is none there, where do I go from there. Is there a relay logically before the fuse that I should check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any members of The Association of British Drivers on here? Or anyone here thinking of joining? I've been looking at http://www.abd.org.uk/ some interesting reading!
