Bob, I sent you an email a couple of days ago, about Clifford alarms (in reply to your post on my other thread).. Apologies if I'm just being impatient I should be picking the car up in a couple of weeks at a guess, and I need to make arrangements to get an alarm fitted PDQ after I get the car (i.e. before some thieving scum nick the car, while I have a non-existant alarm declared on my insurance!).. Cheers Az

Does anyone know of a web site for Meta alarms ? Thanks Nick

Tooley; Johnny; Warren (day off national service); Vijay (well that's how I reckon he looks) Yes I am this bored! Matty. ------------------

Anyone, Post your best price, I want a Stock rear spoiler (fibreglass) as I am fed up of getting shut in my boot due to my heavy and rather naff looking stock spoiler.... Best Price wins (obviously) (waits for offers) Matty. ------------------

Hi, One of my contacts told me he heard about a full VG30DETT aluminium engine (block)....but I NEVER heard of such a beast. Do you have any information about it ? Even if it's remote, I'm interested to know.. I know there's a full AL block for the Z31, but AFAIK not for the Z32... And, BTW, it's for an exotic project, the engine (either the regular VG30DETT or the al-version of it) will end up in a Lotus Exige...

Hi ya guys the front discs and pads are well bedded in now 300+miles and are tops no shakey shakey good positive feel and now fade....yet! So far seems they are fine and makes you wonder about cost and quality sometimes,for just over £120 pads and discs i cant complain especially when the guy on the greenstuff stand at Billy wanted £120 for the pads only! that was with 10% show discoun... good god! they wear out as well like any pad.I can say the quality of the discs were top (made in Japan) and the pads were pre chamfered and slotted.The only gripe is the brake dust for the first 150 miles!! washed the wheels 5 times last week Does seem to of calmed down now so will …

As Tim, has got it sussed, bringing this back to attention. He needs a list of No's & sizes. I will have. 1 size L polo shirt. 1 size s polo shirt. Any idea of delivery time? And what is your final decision on payment. Cheers Tim. harve.

Mine seems to be totally out, with my avc-r off, according to the avc-r it hits 45 kg/cm (which is about 6.5 psi), but my gauge goes up to just under 12 psi. Would anything be wrong? Vijay

Myself and Matthew were amazed at AndyP's uncanny knack of spotting silly Z peeps with their wheels on the wrong way round at Billing! LOL! So, if you wanna improve your brake cooling, as Nelson intended when they designed the stock 300ZX wheel, and impress yer mates like what Mr. P did... Check it out here... Keep it real! Timmy-G

Guys, I may be ignorant at times but please put this puppy to sleep for me: what is the best way to measure the engine oil level and the transmission fluid level? Should this be done on a cold engine, a hot engine? Also, what is a TPS? My guess - Throttle Position Sensor????? and where is it located. Reason I ask is that I've just seen a post that details the auto box stalling the engine from time to time - apparently caused by knackered TPS wiring ... I've got the same problem (intermittently). Many thanks for your enlightenment. CHEERS! Dan

I have had a Dastek Uni-chip installed in my zed for about a year now. Am I the only one on this forum that has had one of these installed on a Zed?. I have to say that apart from a few problems at the start( which I think were due to other things) the chip has been ok. How come no-one else seems to have one of these?. Do they have a bad name or something!. Surely with all the new member the forum has now one person must have this upgrade!!. It did make the car go from fast to holy s##t as far as performance goes so why is it not used more? Anyone else out there!! Simon H

A question from one of the MR2 mob was recently sent to the UK MOT Centre staff :- Q: I own a November 1994 MR2 Turbo which is of course a Japanese Imported vehicle. Is it a legal requirement for my car to have a Catalytic convertor on in order for it to pass its MOT, or can I remove the CAT with a cat replacement pipe and it will still be legal for the MOT? And the answer :- A: Basically if your vehicle is not listed in the latest emissions book (it won't be because it's an import) you can replace the cat. The vehicle should be tested to the limits as listed. CO Visit: Http://www.motuk.co.uk/exhaust_emmissions.htm So I assume that as lo…

Fellow Zster, I just started noticing that between 2 and 3k RPM my engine is making the nuts-and-bolts-in-a-baked-bean-can noise. This is while I'm cruising at motorway speeds and although difficult to hear is a sustained rattle which gets slightly louder when accellerating. Is this detonation or what? Also, I seem to have lost a bit of top-end boost. Whereas I normally get the boots needle up to the second to last minor line (my gauge is stock Jap which runs from -7 to +7) now it stops at the only fat line between 0 and +7. Does this indicate that I'm in safety boost mode? Can this be caused by the detonation problem? I get this every time the engine has warmed up s…

... Just as I go off to lunch. Has anyone driven the Nürburgring? I have always fancied it, it is reasonabaly priced, but, I'd love to hear if anyone has actually done it. By todays exchange rates £71 buys you 12 laps of the north loop, each loop being 12.9mls, total 155mls! I wanna go. Tim

This 98 2 seater turbo is a fiver short of 20 Grand! It hasnt even got leather! Still, having a Z with 1800km's would be nice ,thats just over 1000 miles I think. All you'd have to do is clean it! http://www.doremotors.co.uk/cars/CZ86004646.htm Later Trev.

Does anybody in this club own a silver 300zx on Broadway, Morecambe??????

Well here it is a snap shot of the roudy 300 forum, in trouble with the Rozzers again; Matty belts out a great version of 'Rock DJ' much to the nieghbours distress; Matty has to explain to the Rozzer that it's his parents fault he has such a naff voice; The party finished at 4am.....only so that Tooley could sleep outside on the grass. Matty.

Tim turns up but is worried that his car looks different since he got it back from SE; Nick Dastardly and Mattley arrive with the usual flair; Johnny decide's that Mods are the only way to go; Jeff's nice colour Z just as the boost kicks in; Ajay turns up with more mods she fitted herself; Warren, back on national service demands more speed;

I've got some rust around the rear wheel-arches and perhaps when I get it cut out I'll consider the wider arches. If you've had it done I'd like to hear how well the job went and how you like it. Got any pics? Remember the prices? Jez. ------------------

As Penrod Pooch, he works as a janitor at Police Headquarters. But when evil threatens, this calamitous canine grabs his mask and kimono and transforms into martial arts legend Hong Kong Phooey! As long as he has his Kung Fu manual, Hong Kong Phooey is supremely confident. Show him a villain, and he'll show you dazzling footwork, lightning quick reflexes and unstoppable powers of persuasion! Unfortunately, he'll also show you falling flat on his face, bumbling, stumbling, flip flopping and bungling. Matty. ------------------

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for getting car window stickers printed up. I know you had some done for this site and I want some for my (fishing) site. Cheers, Andy

Right, I need a new rear spoiler, Fibre Glass to replace my Stock one. I am fed up of getting shut in the boot... Give me your best price. Cheers. Matty. ------------------

Just thought this may be interesting to some of you lot. http://red-headed.com/scoop/ Andy
