Took my car and filter to K&N and they confirmed what I have said for a week. It dont fit. In fact they know that the filter will not fit the UK spec but yet they will still send it out to people. I got my money back and I'm gonna contact Johnny to get a BlitZ one. MAC1 Says they are good and they FIT which is the most important thing. Stuart

I've got a few stereo bits I'm trying to flog as they are just sitting there doing naff all!! I have the following: Alpine V12 - MRV-F407 4 channel amp (3months old). I want £150 for it (all boxed / instructions) Alpine CVA-1000r Receiver / Tuner. One of those motorised Alpine screen thingys. In the price includes a 6 disc AI-NET CD Changer. I want £550 the lot. I may split the two. Two Alpine 8" Subs in a small box. They are in the back of my M3 convertible at the mo. Unsure of what they are worth but I'm open to sensible offers. (I think they have white cones - look relatively new). There are a few more bits but I'm having a memory lapse at…

As you may have noticed the 'roller blind thingy' isn't much use for mounting speakers in, so..... I have seen a few cool ICE installs but I still want to use the boot, such as it is. I was thinking of an MDF parcel shelf but can think of nowhere to mount the amp apart from the underside of the shelf, not the best place for cooling. How have a few of you 'ICE Experts' done it ?

Hi folks, I have an imported 300ZX TT but it is speed limited to 118MPH. Is there an easy way of removing the restriction? I've been looking at the circuit diagram & can see that the signal from the speedo goes to the ECU. If I remove this, will it remove the limitation? I'm also converting it from Auto to Manual box as I fried the Auto box!!!

just in case noone else got this... http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/craig/kemble.htm T3RBO, i might have a taker for your track space, will let you know tonight, if you still have it anyone going from london want to meet on the way ? what time are you leaving ?

Guys & Gals, It seems that I'll have to open my dash "again"...this time I'd like to install indiglo gauges at the same time. Anyone has a source of indiglo gauges, for the EURO Spec Z32. That is...with the top speed in the 280km/h // 180 mph area ? And..preferably, a design that does NOT require handle removal.

Some f***ing bastard keyed my car last night. I F***ing hate these scum, why do they do it? If I ever get my hands on them I WILL kill them. Shotgun at the ready

Often people come on the forum with some witty comments or a piss take which is funny. Unfortunatly Porker is not one of them, I dont know if anyone has told you mate but your patter is fuckin crap, its the same old shite over and over again which was never funny the first time round. So just block his account Craig and do us all a favour. Everyone agree???

I actually had a guy try to argue with me on 300zx vs VR4's -_-; needless to say he's quiet now. both quarter mile, and top end times the Z has reached far better times. Z's rule!

Does that record still stand? 10.82 seconds for the quarter mile on a Z32 =)

Hello I have an intrest in getting a body kit for the Z32 but I saw a couple of UK Spec built ones please can any body help me and point me in the right direction with web addresses ? There is one I am after its the one that has the Lancia Hyneya Zagato tail lights built into it So please do be kind cause Im not to much of a person with knowledge on body kits thank you

Help, my clock has started to keep time... in time with what i'm not sure but it isn't GMT ! Does anyone have a spare which works ? Herman

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining your BB. I am off the 200sx BB as i currently own one but i am thinking of buying a ZX. Could you guys give me any pointers, like what to look out for etc? I will be looking to buy a twin turbo manual. P.S Thanks for the cd's for the 300ZX whoever you are.

Evening one and all, I'm at my wits end in trying to figure out what is causing my engine to "rattle" under light load ... At first I thought it was detonation but a quick visit to AndyP and a timing adjustment ruled that out. It is now really starting to p*ss me off intensely. Here's the situation: When the engine is at operating temperature (i.e., warmed up propperly) there is a definite rattle when the auto box shifts into fourth gear and subsequently into OD. The rattle is much more pronounced and louder in OD but is still audible one gear lower. The only analogy I can come up with is the sound an engine makes when you're driving along in too high a gear …

If we manage to get another meet going... You know that for the last few get-togethers food has been a problem? From what I've heard anyway! What would be a right laugh is finding the nearest McD's and taking 30+ Z's through the drivethrough! ROFLMFAO Doesn't take much to get me going eh?

When you collect your car Friday are you travelling back up the M6 past Coleshill/Tamworth ? Could arrange a pit stop for you if you want with choccy biscuits etc. Jeff TT

Can't go to Kemble now due to the front of my car being removed by a Corsa Couldn't see a fucking thing out of window and a learner being taught by his dad broke very hard and I slid into the back of him - couple of deep scrapes on top of bumper but major damage done by the poxy pea shooter of an exhaust that went right through my front spoiler (not OE)... to make matters worse (or perhaps better in the eyes of insurance) his car had no damage! So due to this not able to attend, if any member would like to buy my place off me and I'll change the booking name OR I'll just kiss goodbye £50 and a weekend away Life sucks Robb

Okay.... I've watched the Star Wars trilogy about 10 times and I am still no closer to developing the force. Why would I need it? Because the f**king headlights on my Z are useless. Cosmetically there fantastic and I appreciate the innovation of Nissan and the large ammounts of cash invested in them. However, when it comes to seeing where you're going, you'd be better off with two small haddock taped to the front of the car. I have a UK model, so apart from changing the indicators around for Jap ones, driving lights aren't really an option. What's the best solution? HID's are prohibitively expensive. There are sites that sell (illegal for road use) 'rally' …

help chaps my 300 is sick(i think)if i let my z tickover when warm sometimes,it starts to puff light blue smoke out of the right hand exhaust!!!!! but now it has changed to the left one same light blue smoke. Only seems to do this when its warm and clears after a few hard revs! Any ideas of what the problem is? Cheers ZMAN

whats your username and why did you choose that name. Mines 300z cause of my car and its cool

Eventually got round to fitting s/steel brake hoses at the weekend and now the master cylinder has decided to start leaking. Anyone tell me what the part no. is cos Nissan have to email japan to find out ( useless ba***rds). Antone no if it would be cheaper to buy the whole thing complete, cos someone said it might be. Paul.

Had the car at the gargage this morning, he had a good look over the car, he found the transmission oil cooler had a crack in it, he's going to take it out tomorrow to get aa proper look at it, he said it my be possible to weld the crack, is this a good option or should I get the unit replaced, is it expensive. Cheers JOHN

Do the jap imports have tinted head lights? The reason I ask is cos' my zx has a driver side head light that looks like its slightly brown tinted and the passanger side head light is realy clear! I think at some point the passanger front light has been changed! OR is it just age and dirt in/on the lense inside? It would be nice to have a matching set of lights so do I go for a Jap passanger side HD-light or a UK driver side HD-light? Sorry for all the daft questions Cheers!
