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

Anyone know how much a Passenger Side Window costs? Where is the best place to get one? Anyone got one? This is the final piece of the jogsaw that I need to get my Zed back on the road. Pali

I was clearing out my old e-mail account and found this old distribution list which was the ZX forum before all this new fangled WWW stuff. (It will never catch on!)

Okay guys, I nearly met the scenery last night, cr@p Japanese tyres partly to blame, heavy right foot similar. What are the best tyres to choose. Consensus seems to be the Bridgestone S03s. What if I don't want to spend that much? How about the Dunlop Sport 8000 or the Continental Sport or the Pirelli P6000? Anyone had any experiences of these, I used to have Good Year, Eagle Venturas on my last car and they were brilliant, transformed the car in the wet. Any suggestions and prices would be appreciated. Bear in mind I'm running standard rims which are 225/50/16's all round Thanks Tim [This message has been edited by TT Tim (edited 1…

Hmm...in the manual AND on the parts CD - there's this 'secondary air system' described in there. It has two seperate air filters etc....but, I'm positive my Zed does n't have all this extra stuff!? Is this something which the 91 UK models missed out on? ??? Cheers Simon. [This message has been edited by WillyEd (edited 10-10-2001).]

Craig, How come my post counter has got stuck at 2136 or have you done it on purpose to let everyone else catch up...coz that might take some time...LMAO!

After posting my, personal, comments on the Ecotek products on this forum, I had the following email this morning: The comments you made on the 300zx forum seem to refer to ECOFLOW and not our product. We spend a lot of time and money on protecting our brand image and are always disappointed when we are mistaken for products which, as you suggest, are rather less efficacious than ours. The Ecotek CB-26P has been quite positively reviewed for use with a number of Nissan engines: http://www.ecotekplc.com/more_cars_6.htm#primera Regards, Barclay Ecotek Technologies Plc. www.ecotekplc.com Just be careful what you say guyz you never know …
