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! Heres some quotes I found on the site: The car is the last bastion of freedom - this must be overturned." "The Highways Agency should act as a management authority allocating permits to drive into towns. People should be made to wait at the perimeter until a space becomes available." "People who live in the country say they need to drive into towns - I say it's their fault for living in the country."

Ok had my car on the dyno on friday morning, and managed 431 bhp on the back wheels @ 1.09bar i was well chuffed. ------------------ BUFF MAN 300ZX SUPER HERO!!!! or is that DUFFMAN???? [This message has been edited by 300z (edited 06-11-2001).]

Hi all, I today did the unthinkable and reversed into a metal post protecting a tree. The tree was unharmed, but did some damage to the rear of my car. The black panel which reads '300 ZX' has some scratches on it now caused by the metal bar. Thank god it did not touch my red paintwork. Anyway, does anyone know if it is possible to remove this scratches. The panel is black, but now has some grey scratches, which is the undercoating I think of the panel. Is there any wax, scratch remover, t-cut, etc that could possibly hide or remove the scratches ? Could it be fixed by a bodyshop ? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance. A.

Ok what a f**king joke!Nissan want £640+vat Where do they get their prices from?Just sold mine and was interested to know how much they were new.So if any of you guys have one keep it,In 50years time it may be worth £10,000 on the antiques road show. LOL ------------------

Chaps, thanks for your help again... I am now fairly convinced that I require top links. Question: Approx how much will I pay - and will I be able to fit them - or should I budget for a Garage job? Probably followed by Track Rod's - same question apply's.

For anyone who's interested, here are the the restrictors in a standard jap import exhaust. They are at the front of the middle section, if that makes sense and can be seen fairly clearly here :- and in comparison the rear of the middle section :- Sorry for sh1tty photo.

I'm looking for a 'simple' upgrade for the standard head unit in my Z. I don't like all the flashy lights and fiddly, small buttons on the Kenwood units. I'm thinking about the San Diego, Blaupunkt system with remote. Anyone got any comments/experience with these? http://www.bluespot.co.uk/stock/sandiego.asp Thanks guyz Tim PS: I don't really want to spend more than £300
