Weird one this, but I'm sure it didn't used to do it... when I first start the car, its turning over at 2K or so (while cold) but I can hear the fan really loud... as I rev the engine up the fan is clearly speeding up too 'wooshhhhh' as you rev the engine... But then once the car warms up (and the idle comes down to normal So, I'm assuming that the fan isn't supposed to be speeding up with the engine like this... kinda weird. It's like something is sticking ? any ideas ? stu

Due to being a sad unemployed IT contractor I have now sold my Z. The bloke came from Exeter last night handed over the readies without looking at it. I insisted he drive it first which he did for 2 miles. He did no other checks and gave me the money. I have enjoyed this forum but sadly will sign off now. When the economy picks up(some hope) I may be able to buy one again. Thanks Craig for running the show. Regards Steve

man its going to get hot : .

I am planning to buy a PTS Torque Converter for my car from Level10. Claim to drop a whole second at 1/4 of a mile Sounds like a good mod. Has anyone here in UK done this? I want to know whats the affect in terms of driveability. Any decrease in the final speed of the car? Any damage on the engine in the long turm? I am depserate for speed.

One for you it boys, For the last couple of weeks when I go to www.300zx.co.uk I don't get to the website just a message saying 'this server host the 300 and 200 websites' I click on the 300 one and nothing happens, I found an old link to get back to the forums page, but I dont have anything from the left hand side menus, so what's up, I think its related to AOL because I use this at home and work with the same result???? What would another link be so I could get all the bits??? Thanks for your help in advance JOHN

has happened twice now. stopped for petrol, didn't lock door but had keys in me pocket, went and paid, came back put immobiliser key in, then ignition key - nothing, did same again, nothin again. locked and unlocked doors from inside using remote, nothing. thought it may not be starting as hot (after 110 mile motorway journey, but only 90/100 ish + temp gauge normal) so got out and opened bonnet, stared at engine blankly and then got back in car tried again - started. And then again last night on the way home, although this time didn't raise the bonnet, just kept trying.about 10 times then it worked the same lights come on when it fails as when it works and when it …

With all those gauges in and near the glove box it makes me wonder what would be under the bonnet(hopefully working stuff)! TD-06's like Rowens ex-wangan racer perhaps And all for just over £2,500 without all the shipping an stuff. or... A nice 92 convertable. Check the interior! This summer time luvverly costs £5,734 in the land of the rising!

i'm seeking a driver's-door lock & key for my uk spec 1990 300.

About to arrive from the states. I'm not upgrading the internals of my engine anymore, let me know if you want them ASAP. They will hopefully go quickly. Jez.

200 guys are mixed, some loved it, most hated it saying it's basically Max Power on film!!! Not seen it meself yet so just do the wind-up for now!!! Tim ;-) P.S. For those of you who aren't in the know, Van Diesel is the star, was also in Pitch Black...silly bugger with the double "twinkle in the Milk mans" eyes!

thanks to all for the 60k service info. checked receipts i got with the car and seems it's actually been done, albeit not aal at once, but nevertheless. which leaves some money and an airfilter that needs replacing. the car has standard exhaust - back boxes to be upgraded to something that wont wake the neighbours at 5am and haven;t upgraded anything else. can I fit an intake kit without ruining the mixture or needing a chip? also one that will be useable upto about 400 ish bhp? i liked the look of a metal one i saw, but have forgotten who manufactured it.....any reccomendations ?

A customer just sent me this. Text Message Received. Can I come and stay at yours for a couple of days.Everyone is so pissed off at me...... I need a friend........ Sender: Osama Bin Laden.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "if GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day 2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no…

I know this issue has been done ad nauseum but after having read all the previous posts I am still confused (could be the sleepless nights I've had ...) My passenger side headlight just went (have a Jap Import TT) and I need a quick replacement as I do a lot of late evening/night driving. I understand that my car takes H3 bulbs, but from your posts it would seem that these bulbs need modifying ... Is this correct? I am looking at getting a pair of these two bulbs: 1. PIAA HiLo bulbs (high output, low watt). H3 bulb draws 85W and produces 130W. Retails at £17.87 each. or 2. Osram Super 30% brighter H3 bulbs - retailing at £9.95 each. I know H…
