Just thought I'd let you all know that I just went to see this film and it is extremely funny and worth seeing if you liked the first (I thought this was slightly better than the first one). Anyway, Z content: in one scene, there is a very good looking red 300ZX convertible that goes by in the background VERY slowly and in full focus. NICE CAR!!! Anyway, go see the film, even if it's just for the Z scene and the lesbian scene Andy

OK, me and warren (300z) will be there in the morning from 8am for a run what ya brung day. Anyone fancy joining us? I know its very late notice but hey - it's the thought that counts J14 off the M1 for anyone who's interested. http://www.santapod.com CheerZ, Andy

I thort I would share my experience today in the hope that it may for warn other first time buyers and also that someone may be able to advise me on the problems I have encountered. The car in question is a 92 UK spec TT with 100K and lots of history, all for the reasonable price of £4400. Having shopped around for a while I decided that this was the one to go for, despite the 220 mile drive, the owner assured me the car was in excellent condition and that I would not be disappointed. Left home at 7:45 and arrived at mid-day. The car was still in his garage and on him driving it out I was very impressed. Highly polished with near perfect 17” Venom alloys, n…

Had my car on the ramps today having the oil changed and what should I spot while I was underneath the beastly Z but 2 very coroded Petrol tank straps. Are there any custom NICE straps that can be bought or is it going to be the usual main dealer jobby?

Right guys I have the perfect answer to the argument I am going to mid-mount a second TT V6 with auto trans in my manual ZX problem and switch between both!!!!! problem solved end of subject !!!!! anyone forsee any problems?

Braking whilst crawling in traffic causes a thumping sound from under the front of my car. I can feel it in the footwell but not through the Steering wheel. I jacked my car up and found a little bit of play in my track rod end ball joints... When I removed the gaiter there was a washer/spacer that just seems to be doing nothing!! It's not fixed to the rack end or the ball end - HELP? Does this make sense - I have hit a couple of V bad pot holes V recently - can this be related? Any ideas guys?

come on, i mean, FFS, all i wanted was a little common sense, and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE !!! i don't want to fuel this any further, and definitely do not want anyone to leave the forum i like the jokes, fun and banter, i agree, it is what makes the forum the best, i wouldn't change it.. except the thing that pisses me off is when new people come along, they ask a simple question, and get replied with info that is of no real benefit to them. they get put straight into the deep end of an ongoing "debate". at least give people the chance to get to grips with the forum and the reason we are all here.... common interest... 300zx !! i mean, come o…

I take it "The Cannonball Run" is off next year then? You Guys should be ashamed of yourselves...hanging on to Craigs apron strings like that! Squabbling amongst yourselves like silly schoolgirls!"It wasn't me Sir! It was him!" A lot of you are guilty of the supposed offences, but prefer for others to be the scapegoats. I suggest you run after some of your departed fellow board members and ask them to come back. Shame on you all, you bunch of Hypocrytes!!

Just a word of warning and its only my opinion,a dealer in B.ham (link below) who has been selling imports for some time,I checked the site out earlier this year and the cars I looked at were crap! I mean really crap! a J reg black imnport had starship mileage and was wearing its engine oil on the outside, also paint overspray from an obvious adjacent car had covered the car in green fleck.The leather was totaled and the seat belt date was 1990! a grey one K reg (also on 1990 seat belt date)was at another site they own, that looked like it had been resprayed outside in the rain.The prices were top as well £7500 and £7999 I have spoken to a few in the trade and they ar…

As I have well and truely bedded in my new discs with the soft pads supplied I am looking for some with more staying power and less dust!So after much searching tracked down a helpful EBC dealers who can do single pair of Kevlar Greens (2000 series) for £50:00 + Vat and for a group buy £42:00 + Vat, is this a good deal? sounds ok any one use them? comments / verdict.

Removed the front spot lamps today and fitted the chrome film in the area not covered by the reflector,also found the two end sections come off and did in their as well.Now the spots match the brightness (in the daylight) of the headlights.Even had enough film left over from before,cool. Jeff TT J Spec spots are only 35 watt!! fitted 55watt

Hi Was this anybody here. Black 300ZX G plate, joined M4 at junction7, same as me. Flashed you into Outside lane this morning. Leigh.

what would be the interest on some kind of online knowledge base for tech problems, where people can log new problems, search resolved problems etc? rather than store everything in a forum it would be more of a categorised deal, hmm, not really explaining this too well. might be useful, i can elaborate further if anyone's interested. I also don't mind writing it, but how easy that would be depends upon what hosting solution is available...craig - any server side scripting?

Picture this. Your beloved z looks brand new but your plate tells everyone that it is a 10 year old car. For as little as £200 you could own DIL 6171 and then everyone would think your car is a day old. Having looked on the web these DIL plates start at £450 so this is a real bargain. I believe around £80 to transfer. Cheers Martin

Ohhhhhh, will this infernal rain ever stop! Being sensitive to those of us who have real flooding problems, I've just experienced one myself ... but not the type you expect. Having had non-stop rain for the past 12-16 hours I got into my beloved Zed this afternoon only to be greeted by a "slosh-slosh" sound. Huh?! I scratch my head in disbelief but nothing sensible emerges so I carry on with the "boot-up" procedure of the car. Get about 2 miles down the road and start to feel a cold wetness (please don't take the piss for writing this) creeping up my right leg. I scratch my head again and take a quick peak down. Much to my surprise my feet are planted in a lake in wh…
