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

Its late. I bet no one replies to this post till the late AM ------------------ -- Glen

OK - when I get my Zed, I'm going to have some nice security fitted.. I was thinking of a Clifford Concept 600, and maybe a tracker.. What are peoples opinions on trackers? Anyone know if it makes any noticeable difference to your insurance premiums? Does anyone know if Clifford still do the turbo timer option on their alarms too? Would save the hassle of trying to get a Blitz timer to work with the alarm (although.. I do rather lik the Blitz full auto timer (or was that the HKS one... )).. Hints, tips? Is it possible to get Blitz/HKS timers to work with a Concept 600 - anyone done it? Cheers Az

I know it has been done to death but what oil you guys running (im developing an oil paranoia) ? Ive bought Mobil 1 0/40 and i think it is too thin and i just bought some Valvoline semi-synthetic 10/40 and ive been told its crap!! Look guys what you using ??# I want to change the oil and put in 10/30 but i cannot find any for sale anywhere!;( Helpppp Glen

1. is it perfectly safe to change settings while driving? 2. I know it has scramble boost, but is there anyway of wiring up a switch to be able to get to a certain boost even if the boost controller is in the off position?, so it's a one touch operation - I nearly went into the back of someone today looking at my controller.

Hey could not resist this how cool, must have a go at this conversion any one got a spare rear panel they dont want ...yeh right. (lol) Jeff TT

Couple of bits of help required..... 1... I no I'm dumb but.. is the oil dip on the right when you are standing at the frt of the car with the bonnet up..... gear box on the left then i guess... 2 is there anyone near slough who knows about lambda sensor probs...... I know it sounds kinky, but thats what its called. My cat light comes on and off.... and the other day I was going down the mway about 85, and the cat light went on... then the yellow engine check light flashed...then engine started missing for 5 secs, but in a sort of ECU missy way.... then engine dyed... free wheeled to hard shoulder.... turn everthing off.... waited 10 secs... started th…

My bloody employer has yet to pay me for lasts months work and i can see problems in getting it. This is really gonna f*** me up financially and i see me having to sell me Z. Really don't want to but options are small. I have not yet fitted my TC so that could be up for sale if anyones interested. If finances don't come soon I won't be able to make Traxs so my ticket could also be up for sale. Martin Not Happy

Hey all, me again, Just a thought - if we get enough people together we can do a good deal on getting a skid course organized. The reason I suggest this is that not too long ago I found myself facing the wrong way on a roundabout after having spun 540 degrees. Wet weather and a slightly enthusiastic right foot contributed to this predicament. I am normally very capable of catching and correcting skids but the Z reacted completely different to what I expected. I reckon that the HICAS kicked in and was opposing everything I was doing to correct the problem. Let me know if you are interested in this kind of event and if we have enough interest I'll get busy on organizin…

Hello all, Well, after a well deserved break in Holland me and my Z are back in the country (both still slightly seasick as the case may be). Met up with Eric (Lymonn) several time and need to mention here that he's a top bloke. He sorted me out with UK size rear rims for my import Z as well as sorted an idling and cooling problem I've been having. Thanks m8! Now that I'm back I need to do a few upgrades to the hoses and connectors in the car. I need the following items and would like to know if I can get them in the UK and what to expect price-wise: 1. Uprated fuel lines - looking for the type that has a braided exterior to prevent the constant shrinking/e…
