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…

I get chatting its like 2.30 pm and i ask then to gut my cats, well they were busy, but they managed to get my car on the ramps and replaced the cats with replacement pipes. And all i can say is wow, the sound of my super dragger now surpasses anything i expected, it is awsome.

Telephone number 02082390600.

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.
