it looks as though i could get an improvement on my brakes with some sort of upgraded fluid and after looking on tt.net to see how easy installing ss pipes and bleeding the system would be, they say dont use dot 5 fluid ? anyone know why ?

How the hell are those bits of wood in the "boot" suppossed to fit??? Kyrpton Factor...or have I got the bits from a completely different car.... or am i just solid...... Regardz

Does anyone here know if off-timing has any influence on mpg's? I'm guessing that my timing is off (need to find someone with a timing kit)after having the timingbelt replace a few months back. I'm also noticing that my exhaust pipes are turning black ... possibly related? All of a sudden my mpg seems to have gone out the window. I just got back from Oxford (80mile journey) doing a very steady 75mph (on cruise control) and still went through more than a quarter of my tank! Seems excessive as I used to be able to get to London on that amount. Just seems odd to me ... Later! Danny

Since having installed a ZCentre provided kph->mph speed converter my odometer has been acting up. It'll work fine for 40-70 miles and then stop. Everything else is functioning normally. Usually it works again after turning the engine off, letting the car sit for a while and then turning the engine back on. However, I've been driving the past two days without the bloody thing working and it is really starting to annoy me. Any suggestions? I have already looked at the back of the speedo binacle and all the connections seem fine. Cheers guys! Danny

The sideskirts on me TT (the bit with little dents in it) is dirty and looks pants. Tried to clean it with regular warm water and some car shampoo but no dice! Can anyone suggest a way that actually works ... coz right now I feel like sandblasting them. Also, why the hell did nissan make the bottom half with dents in them ... As always your comments are most appreciated. Cheers! Danny

What is the best way of cleaning your engine bay ? I have had it suggested that you can just Jet-Wash it, surely this cannot be correct ? or is it Jest-Wash, GROAN !!! Herman

Hi peeps, I've been visiting this forum for about two months now, but haven't noticed anybody in or around Ipswich, in tractor land (Suffolk, or is that Suffarrrrk ) Where I'm currently working there are three other Zed drivers, all standard UK models except for a nice (slightly modded) Import. Anybody here? I must admit, I've been slightly drawn into this forum. Originally I stumbled across it via a Google search, I had a nose, and found a whole bunch of other people who've experienced almost every problem I've encountered whilst owning the Z. Some of you having much more greif than I'm having: Az for example. Its nice to see a female Z driver on…

How many people would be interested in a dedicated track day? This is only an idea at the moment but perhaps Cadwell park, early part of next year. keeping the cost to a minimum around £100 per/head. Would need about 30 cars! Possibly the 200sx and 300zx forums? Comments...

this is just an example, but this site is well worth a hunt around, theres loads of 300 stuff on here http://www.findit.co.uk/uk/cars/nissan/146678.htm

I am a bit pissed off to here you all slating Matey for his reasons against buying Mattys car. At the end of the day its Mateys hard earned money, and if he decides Mattys car is not up to standard then thats his decision. At least he gave his reasons for not buying, and turned up to view the car. Matty should be glad of his reasons wether he feels they are pickey, at least they are also reasonable. I sold a BMW this year with was an 89, a lot of people failed to show, and didnt have the decency to call. One guy turned up and then didnt buy because the boot carpet looked worn. There should be an agreement that any member selling a car, and another m…

A guy an a croc walk into a bar an the guy says "I'll have a pint, and one of your regulars for the croc." The barman says "you cant do that!" so the guy said "if you dont give him a regular then he goes pshcho and will trash the bar." the barman says "ok take that old tramp in the corner." so the croc does and they go. Until the next day when they come back and ask for the same again. 1 pint and a regular for the croc. But the barman says "sorry i have no regulars left! They all went after they heard about what happened the other night." The guy said "well you know what will happen now...." tha…

Was jogging round the park this morning. Came back to the car and some van or car has smacked my ZX right in. The passenger window is broken and I am going to need a new door, window, front wing... Does anyone know if my third party fire and theft cover will cover me on this type of incident???

Ok just need to check on whos still going to the Pod and what time we should arrive there? ------------------ BUFF MAN!!!! or is that DUFFMAN????

Having revued all the comments (inc my own) this morning I think the subject of selling your car is always a spikey one,and maybe we all gota a bit protective to one of our own.Matey if you are to be a genuine zed owner and visiter to this site I think some closure to the buying / selling issue is needed in the name of peace and friendship, funny how a small issue close to home tricks you mind into forgetting some of the bigger probs the world has at the moment.my view any way Jeff TT Ps I still love you Matt

i got off my fat lazy procrastinating ass, and finally scanned pictures of my Z
