Ahhhh, just thinking about me car! Sorry, yeah, when I had my car almost a year ago, it would not take fuel onboard without a John Cleese stick across the bonnet episode! Click-stop would constantly come on when trying to get any Jank into the Tank...I did notice someone mentioned this recently about Super or Optimax. Could it be an air lock in the tank or the filling pipe? CheerZ girlZ

Does anyone have or know where I can get a set of carpet mats with a Z related logo for my 2+2 in black

Is keeping the windscreen and side windows of a Z clear a black art or am I being really stupid and completely missing something

Hi again all, fitted CAt 1 alarm to my car today found unplugged ecu behind drivers side rear trim panel car runs and performs great so what is it?

Anyone know how to get rid of an airlock in the cooling system of a 300ZX?

All the pics I've seen are with the round ones...

Got any pics or can you reccomend anywhere for a good price. (Currently Ultimate, Nismoparts and Courtesy are the options). jez.

hey guys, after 2 fill ups of optimax I was wondering if any improvement would actually kick in. Well since I started using Optimax I noticed a better fuel-economy-consumption, I haven't got figures of pounds/litrs, but it is using a little bit less petrol than usual which will surely compensate for the higher cost of the petrol itself. But that was it...was it? NO maybe there is more!! Well since yesterday morning my car 300ZXTT Manual 90'.... started to drive better at low speed, you know local driving in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear, short acceleratinos etcs...it just feels a little bit smoother/slightly quicker I would say... So it could be that the o…

I can't seem to find that front kit anywhere, or is it the stock japanese front for the 97-99 300zx?

What would I be able to run on the quarter mile on a 300zx with JWT ecu chip, Greddy TD05 turbos, Dual 4inch exhausts, and JWT dual air pop intake? Motor Trend reports stock twin turbo 300zx's hitting 14.4 with a good driver, what do you think it'll hit with about 200 more hp

Notice from your car spec some of you have the Racelogic traction control How do you rate them? Without paying for 'extras' is standard on/off a good buy (probally only use it in wet)? Robb

I am getting Toyo T1-s tyres put on my car on Wednesday, anyone have experience or advice on these? I dont hear you guys mention them when you talk about good tyres, Here in NZ they are popular I am running 225/50/16

GuyZ, I desperately need someone's help to sort out my Zed's timing. I have the sneaky suspicion that ever since Nelson replaced the timing belt the engine works in a different time zone (hence my detonation problem). However, Nelson claims that they don't have the equipment to work on my Jap spec TT ... (idiots)... but is willing to "try" it manually - need to book it in for the day and they'll charge me £45 + VAT per hour for the privilege. Can anyone help me. I'd be willing to travel a bit outside of the Midlands to sort this out. Many thanks! Danny

What the hell happened - forum was down for about an hour or more. Few other web sites were too ....

I remember people like Henri and Warren mentioning some sort of brake disc coating (cryo ?) a while back. As I have a set of brand new Brembo's sitting in my garage ready to fit I wondered whether anyone knows what the benefits of having this done are and where I might get it done. Ta ------------------

Been busy downloading some Z videos via Morpheus and I have to say I am dissapointed. First video is on a drag strip. Z gets wiped out by an old model Supra!! Next video is of a Z getting splatted by a Honda S2000!!! mind you it might be a NA Z with a flat tyre . I am currently downloading a race vid of an RX7 vs Z and I don't hold my hopes up based on previous results. Has anyone got any vids of Z wins to cheer me up? ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk

I think my stock boost gauge is just about A.holed and I want to get a new more accurate one. What do you guys (and Ajay of course!!LOL) recommend as there seems to be a lot of choice. What is it like fitting one of these?. Could someone like me (without a brain!!) be able to install one. Any help would be greatfully recieved Zed brothers and sister. Simon H

Do lowering springs (compared to stock Jap springs) have a detrimental effect on ride quality, i.e., does the ride become firmer? Has anyone lowered their car (upto about 20mm)? Also, anyone have experience with replacing the anti-sway bars for new ones? I'm not really looking to lower the car any further than it already is (and mine isn't lowered at all) but I just wanted to know. Serious about the asb's though. Thanks guys, Danny

Evening all, I'd like to remove the restrictors that are in the stock exhaust but don't know where they are. Any clues where they are and how I can visually identify them? Also, how much pipe should I remove? Jeff - I know you recently did this to your exhaust, could you put me in touch with the company that manufactured your new pipes please? Many thanks! Danny

Well, after about 4 hours of toiling my front indicators are finally clear ... looks really good (pics up soon). Thanks Jeff TT for giving me the motivation to keep going with it. Bloody hell it is hard work removing the orange cover inside the indicator unit. Almost no space to put your fingers and tools so out came the soldering iron, cutters and icepick (I kid you not). The new indicator bulbs I got with Jeff are great - they look clear but flash orange Advice for anyone attempting to do the same, go easy on the bashing coz I nearly ruined one of the reflective covers (very thin metal that easily bends and rips). Also burned holes for the side running l…

I have only just noticed my Blitz boost gauge is calabrated in Kg/cm2 for positive boost and cm/Hg for negative boost.Any one know a formula etc for conversion to psi? Thanks Jeff TT
