For those that haven't seen one of the nicest Z's in the UK! IMHO! Thanks to MAC1 a.k.a. Iain for the pic that I've been looking for for ages now...top banana!

I have loads of these and I suspect that this thread will either be embarassing or very funny. A couple of my own little challenges : 1) Car Park Barrier. To get into the car park at work, I have to swipe a card through a card reader to get the barrier up. I am not allowed to stop moving forwards while swiping the card through the machine. 2) Indicator matching. If I'm sitting behind a car with indicators on and have no passengers then I have to flick my own indicator on and off in time with the car in front and mustn't get out of time ? 3) Motorway lane changes. I'm not allowed to touch cats eyes. 4) Wipers on intermittent - I have to predict whe…

Hi All Im in the process of searching for some new rims for my Z. The size available in 18's for the rims i am after are: 8 x 18. Does this size fill the arches well and without any mods? Also, can the car be lowered with 18's on it? Also, what is the offset for the Z. What size tyres do you guys recommend? CheerZ

Right, I can use the Kirk for obvious reasons...this one is a blast! Last Friday on me way home I was on the A5 which is a lovely fast section of road. Loadsa round-a-bouts to navigate and dual carriageway on this stretch. So the order of the day is usually, cain it...slow down sharpish...round-a-bout...cain it...slow down etc. etc. You get the idea! Anyway, Kirk is in need of some serious servicing and is behaving like a naughty school boy at the moment! NOT GOOD! I'm on the inside lane approaching a large round-a-bout thingy, two young and fit girlies in outside lane in VW Golf, we get round the round thing and I'm in inside lane coming up on a car r…

Hi took my Z to be pluged in at Nissan to day the engine was given clean bill of health,so that means i waisted £400 fucking quid at my local gararge trying to put it right,BASTARD!!!!!! Any way the problem for my Z ocasionly lossing power is the Auto gear box (WHAT?),the read out says the following,"TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve" The check list is as follows,"Harness or connectors,(the solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)Or line pressure solenoid"that is what it says word for word.I spoke to a guy called Bob at a company in Notts called Oak dean,he says this does not have to mean the gear box has to come out,some ti…

I'm thinking of getting the wide arch kit and round light conversion and want some WIIIDE wheels to go with it. Whats the widest you can get with these kits? I'll be getting new 18's or 19's I think - what size do the Bridgestones go up to? I've got 17" 255's at the back now and they don't look wide anymore!! The Z is going to be a weekend car when I get expensive rubber.

Is there an English Nismo site? The only one I could find is the Jap one which is a little tricky to read...
