Hi, I knew my Cruise Control on my Z did not work for the last 4 months. Took my car to Nissan for a routine service and also told them to look at the Cruise Control problem. They came back and said that I need a new 'Cruise Control Actuator' part. They quoted me £324 + VAT !!! I told them to forget it ! Anyway, I'd appreciate anyone's suggestion where I can get this part. Thanks for your help. A.

Dunno if these are gonna be a bit small for you 300 boys, but Ive got a set of 4, brand new, 225/45/17 Dunlop SP2000 tyres. They are "Z" rated (does that encourage you to buy them ) and are usually £100+per tyre. £300 and they are yours! ------------------ An icle baby 200SX..... but with 270bhp [This message has been edited by StuyMac (edited 15-08-2001).]

4th and 5th gear in my Z at 80-100% throttle seems to be putting so much load on the engine that the spark on at least one cylinder is being blown out. The is apparent by a light vibration and tail off of power under heavy load in these gears :-( Short term answer might be to reduce spark plug gap but this would produce a weaker spark and emissions wouldn't benefit. Any views on a permanent fix for this problem? HKS ignition amplifier maybe? Steve

Went to santa pod at the weekend and some bloke was showing off nitrous kits for sale-489+vat: www.nitrous-solutions.com What do you guys recon to it? Sounds safe enough to me.

Only glimpsed it, posssibly L reg. Anyone here ? Was it you Nick ?

and then about 10 miles later started working again. The speedo and everything else functioned as normal. Any ideas what causes this to happen anyone ?

I know a lot of you had the warped disks like I did and maybe missed the post a while back to my solution... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/ubbforum/Forum1/HTML/002071.html Improved my brakes by 99%

After the discussion about pinking last week I took my car back to se nissan where they told me that it was not too much to worry about cos it was only doing a little, so they just adjusted the timing on the engine. Would this not surely slow it down? I thought they would have modifided the chip itself. Does the timing need adjusting when fitting a jwt chip if so anyone know by how much. Take care dudes. Paul.

Hi, Is anyone else after new springs and/or shocks + camber correction kit. I'm about to go looking for deals... Jez. ------------------

Sorry that was me passing through this ofrum onto the amazon lol ------------------

For all us ICE heads out there, here is this nifty little program...I've had a play but some of this is El Tooley Generale territory. Can somebody have a look and see what they think? I've loaded it up and it does look quite impressive. I think that you can actually add more subs. aswell, you don't just have to stick with the Blaupunked jobbies. Link to Blaubox...

I have just managed to post a few pics of my ride as well as evidence of my meeting with Eric in Holland. The pics were taken in the harbour of Scheveningen (The Hague) and the silver one is mine (duh ...). The last pic shows my car and my dad's Caddilac Seville STS. Parked like that in the street and people were literally falling over themselves! Great fun to be had in the land where Z32's are even scarcer than in the UK. Cheers! Danny Quick Q: How can I create a page on this forum that displays my ride pics with text (rather than 4 separate links ...)

Have just been on TurboTechnics website to learn more about Hybrid Turbos. All very impressive but a few questions need answering for dumbo here! When is the best time to have this done in the upgrade process? Say that I am going down this route with my car... Blitz SUS Intake Blitz RealliZe Cat back exhaust JWT ECU upgrade ASP underdrive pulley Brakes and TC etc. etc. So where in amongst this little lot would it be a great idea to off turbos and get them upgraded at somewhere like TurboTechnics??? Also, they claim that for our cars and obviously some green you can expect 360+ bhp, is this just the turbos on their own or with other upgrades?…

Hello All, Sorry it all went a bit quiet for a while. The guy at DBA in Oz was away in the US, and only returned a few days ago. I got an e-mail from him this morning quoting the shipping prices etc. It looks as if I will be able to get them to your doorstep for £180. Please wait until tomorrow for more specific details (i.e. how long they'll take to get here), as I am going to speak to him on the phone tonight. I have a list of all the people who were interested and most phone numbers, if you didn't include your phone number them e-mail it to me when you get the chance. mwalton@35sigs.com Martin

Hey all, I am so f***ing pissed-off at the moment. Was "let go" from my job yesterday afternoon. Just like that - out of the blue - no warning, prior bollockings etc - just was told "leave your laptop and other office stuff on your desk, give us your security card, mobile phone and fuck off! I haven't done anything to warrant this, didn't fuck them over or anything like it. I am so gutted. I loved that job (Product Marketing Manager for a Unified Messaging company) and now I'm sitting at home thinking of ways to screw the company for some money (any and all suggestions are welcome). They will pay me a months salary and shit but that ain't enough. I have to look some …

heh.. pulled up next to a red import at some traffic lights 50 yards from my house, at about 6:30 this morning gander green onto a217 for those that know it he's in the right filter, me in the left, so i'm not trying to race him or wind him up, cut him up or anything like that.. the guy would not even look over, just stayed looking dead ahead, not even the slightest attempt to make any acknowledgment whatsoever.... i sure hope it wasnt someone here... pretty sure it's not ! sheesh.. some people.. ------------------ UK 92 TT White Mongoose K&N AVCR KYB Eibach

Oh ho hum I dont take alot of notice of the stock (mmHg) gauge in my Zed, but after yesterdays 400 mile blast took her for some fun up the A1 tonite and noticed she wasn't pulling quite as well as b4 As luck would have it I have a pillar GReddy boost gauge - floored it in second and third and the gauge would not go above 0.5KG/CM, now I have been over to the unit convertor and that equates to 7.111 PSI. Where I come from that is safety boost innit?? Please say it aint so Glen

Just had a look at the new Lexus. Saw one Parked. Very Flash Gordon styling in gold with light brown leather interior. 5 year old daughter decided it was better than the zed as the Lexus back seats would not give her a wedgie. So those of you with wee ones consigned to the rear seats - beware the wedgie problem!

What do I need to do, to Decat a Mongoose exhaust. How much will it cost and stuff, parts. Can anyone help me? Is there a place where I can read how to do it. I need more power. Thanks Stuart

Anyone know if Jap TT's are supposed to have AIV valves. If mine has, I'm buggered if I can find them !

I wentinto Nissan today to see about getting a ariel converter so I can plug it into my Sony minidisc. After waiting 20 mins for service a spotty geek came to serve me, I asked him for the part I want which received a very blank look, when I asked him if there was a problem he told me that Nissan didn't do a 300zx model (lmfao), I took him outside and showed him the aforementioned model, he looked a little surprised as he'd never seen one!!!!!!!!!!! Lookingnow for the ariel bit (20mins) he told me he could get one in in a couple of days, ' OK how much' I asked '£40 + VAT' 'fuck me' that's expensive, so I didn't buy one. anyone know of where I can get on?? I…
