there is another one of these, the last one was at Box Hill in August, which had a reasonable turn out. This time it is at a pub in Bolney, which is at the bottom of the M23 somewhere. map book type of view http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=526476&Y=123835&arrow=Y&zoom=5 OS type of view http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=526476&Y=123835&arrow=Y&zoom=4 those not been before, most types of japanese cars there... but never too many 300's

Needed a new 2nd car, as my wee crappy 87 XR2 finally failed its checkup with major skin cancer. So... managed to get a 1990 Saab 9000 2.3 turbo for 1200 quid. Leather, more gadgets than the space shuttle (cruise, climate, computers, sun sensor, bla bla), 200hp, 250 ft/lbs. 0-60 6.6secs 140 mph. But it's the in gears that are amazing.. similar grunt to the 300 here.. The thing is mad as a tree.. leaps towards the horizon when the turbos kick in... class. If yer looking for a cheap larf, get one today! Also, since it's over 10 yo, firebond insure it for 100 quid! ... the only thing I've found good about being over 30 so far. stu …

My speedo still doesnt work here are the symptums 1. Speedo doesnt work under 40mph. Over that it starts to work approx anyway. 2. It works under 30mph in the cold.

Hi, would anyone know a good alloy wheel refurbishers in London, or a stockist that still has TSW Hockenheim wheels. Mark

I think this has been done before however I have a contact where I can get Musto fleeces embrioded with the Z Logo for £45.00. These sell for £75.00 in the shops but if I can get thirty names together the price stands you at £45.00. If anyone is interested reply to this message. Does anyone have a good Z image I can use as a pattern. If I can get a repsonce fairly quickly I could firm up prices. These are top quality fleeces. I have had one to two years and still looks new. And yes I have worn it;D Colours or blue with red colar or red with blue colar. The blue ones look smart. Please if your interested let me know. Tim

I have an Janpanese import. None Turbo... First I want to change the Air con display to the UK version, If this can be done, And I want to put the original steering wheel back... I'm a new owner and any pointers to cheap parts and help would be much appreciated... Kyle

When my ZX is cold and I put my foot down to drive off, the car proceeds through the revs pausing and holding power, if you look at the rev counter its as if I have pushed my foot down, lifted it off, pushed it down lifted it off etc, lasts only as long as it takes to get the car up to running temp, any ideas? it has a shift kitted autobox btw

I have a CAT1 Toad Alarm for sale. It has just been removed from my Escort Crapiolet which was happily sold the other day!! The exact model number is AI606. It also has the automatic window lifters. Together this cost me £400 to buy about 3 months ago. (The same installer removed it). I also have a Microscan Talking module with external proximity sensors which is also connected to the alarm. This cost me £100 to get fitted. I have all the certificates, bills, instructions etc, and want only £250 for the lot. I had the same alarm fitted to my Z before I sold it to Senna and had no troubles with it. Come on guys, someone wants it!!!!!

Hi Guys, Does anyone in the UK sell B&B triflo exhausts for the Z? and how do you over come the pipe length problems (insert joke here) with the 2+2 T.T as I understand B&B dont make a system for the 2+2 T.T? and last but not least, how much power should I expect to gain when coupled with a Blitz induction Kit? Thanks, Brian

Hi guys, strange problem just started to happen, when idling (engine warm) revs drop slightly sometimes and feels like car slightly off a cylinder , rev engine slight flat spot then fine any Ideas?

just before i go to bed .. could all you lads [and lassies, if there are any?] go out and touch some wood for me - ive got my first ever MOT 2morrow at 4pm.

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
