I have just bought a new jap turbo z. i was wonderin if anyone had any ideas of the best thing to do with regards to changin the speedo. do i just buy a sticker from somewhere or what. I thought i could be real cunning and just get a little mph sticker to cover up the kph sticker, on the key, of the speedo. or whatever. cheers, veilside

WTF is up with these deigners nowadays ?? some of the latest "designs": the Nissan "Ideo" (Nissan idiot) the Nissan "moco" (who comes up with these names ?) the Nissan "Kino" (oh dear..) the Nissan "Nails" (rofl..) the Nissan "Crosbow" (are they gonna use this to explore Mars ?) and to make this slightly more Z-related: The pictures of the final design of the fairlady Z:

Have you seen the latest Autocar magazine, where they drive down to Italy in a Countach, to test the Diablo against the new Murcielago? "At 150mph I pull the gearlever back to grab fith gear and the screaming Countach gathers yet more speed!" Sorry! It's just that I love Lambo's!

The story goes as such.... i have been assesing the situation on the forum and it seems to be this.. there is no problem with anyone saying,expressing, or going on about whatever they want... BUT.. When a post starts of regarding something that is actually technical, and then degenerates into something non topic related, that is when the problem occurs. You can understand how the person who started the thread is comming back to look if any advise has been given to his or her problem, and low and behold you get to sort through all bits and bobs of some sad gits social life (see that, its called humor) So blah blah blah, try to keep topics topic rela…

Just found Johnny grasshopper man in training for the big one!!! without the cap This is going to be like taking candy from a baby LMFAO!!! ------------------

Just checked on accomodation near airfield, Travel Inn is only 11 miles away in Swindon and do double rooms for £41.95... Beefeater is next door! Nice treat for the missus after watching me play with cars all day (and saves driving 155 miles back in same day) Thought I might cruise round area on Sunday! Anyone else considering staying over?

...one that isn't cracked, broken and soaked with power-steering fluid like mine is? If not, what's the part number and how much is Mr Nissan Dealer likely to charge me for one? BTW: That's the undertray that catches stuff that gets dropped behing the radiator :-)

I really need those. I've heard you get 20HH gain and is really noticable

and is now on the admin board for the 200sx club

Whilst some of the recent comments on the 200 forum make for interesting reading this is just fu**in' stoopid, IMHO http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001849.html Comments guyz - the 300 group can't possibly be allowed to degenerate to this level. Or is this off topic? Tim [This message has been edited by TT Tim (edited 19-10-2001).]

I ordered these items for my 91 UK Z (perhaps these will still fit an import / different year model): - Front Wheel Bearing - Oil Seal - Snap Ring (The three necessary components needed to do the job, except for a hydraulic press) I ordered this but never needed it (I had the hub replaced). Make me an sensible offer and its yours ------------------ Simon

Cool. Version 4.5.0110 Does any one want it? Its been leaked from Micosoft Stuart

The only way I can find out if my speedo if duff or if some wireing had gone a stray, is to try a working dash. If works its my wireing, if it doesnt its my dash. Can anyone assist? Stuart

Finally finished fitting my new stereo and must say i'm as pleased as a dog with two dicks. Got 6" component infinity perfect series in the front, 6" component infinity kapa series in the rear and a nice 6 channel amp to run this little lot and the 12" sub in the boot. Most pleased although it was a real pain to do. When is the next meet up. Havn't seen many Z's recently. Tim

Hi i would like to have a quick spin in another auto Z to compare gearboxs,mine seems to be running great now engine problem sorted,but nissan plug in says otherwise. I could meet you anywere you like in Derby maybe sunday.If you can help great.

Craig, I think we might need that General & Technical forum soon, Dave R has got the right arse over on the 200 board and is cracking the whip big time. Don't think it's wise publically displaying everyones I.P. though, isn't that illegal? See the thread here... Hope we never get to this point!

Just been over on TT.net, COZ I COULDN'T GET ON HERE! LMAO I think this is the same guy I posted last week, stock bottom end Soup, six speed with single plate clutch. Anyway, the guyZ on TT.net are impressed, this guy, SW, has just done a 1/4 at 9.81 secs @ 153.8 MPH!!! What the fuck has he done to that thing?

Does any one know any good scrap yards that will have 300zx stuff. I think my dial is knackered. It words and then doesnt. It seems to work at higher speeds. I want to replace just the speedo. Any idea where I can get one? Stuart

I went across some right dodgy road by mine about 2-3 months ago, full of deep pot holes. I have to drive over them as they are outside my house (near as damn) I done some damage to my Air-Con compresser (that's wht I told them anyway ) This morning I had a cheque for £220 from my local council And also today they are relaying the whole of my road.....now that's what I call service! Just thought I'd share my 'Happy' story. Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

...Part 2... Me: "Yep, sure does Matty, hey what's going on? Johnny has morphed and shown us all what a mean mother he really is...so that's what's under that cap!!!"

I just finished replacing ye old centre bearing and gearbox mount. The centre bearing wasn't to bad, just off centre, and the mount had sagged about 15mm, cause I had to jack the gearbox up that amount to re-fix the support bracket. On driving my car feels totally transformed so smooth and no clunking or bad vibes. BOOOYAKASHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! cheerZZZZ Jonny......
