Couple of questions, Would it be ok to use the old shims when I fit my nice new greenstuff? Does Johnny do MT-90 mail order? Is Mobil-1 0/40 too thin for zeds, coz i think it is? Who gets the job of farting into the dry roasted peanuts just before they seal the packet? Ta as ever.... ------------------ -- Glen

Does anyone one why my screen shows the color brilliant red (eg Simon H's car) as a near black. I am running true color(32 bit) and 1024 x 768 resolution. Vijay

Hi guys have just negotiated a deal with another motor factor supplier in connection with my business and can supply some top cleaning gear and tools if a group buy can be organised. The list below is just a small example of what's available, if enough interest I will add a full page to my web site and link it. Let me know what you use or need and can price it for you. I will then post all the individual prices and minimum amounts. As a guide from my own purchasing £25 buys about £40 worth of Halford priced gear. Some of the Autoglym products are major overpriced. So let me know so I can decide on the viability etc. Finally tools jacks ramps amplifiers…

Didnt get away with that Gatso after JAE, Got the letter today, 86 mph in a 70 limit. Hope I dont have to attend court cos its a 3-4 hour drive, Paul pigs R scum.

just spoke to the Tim mc Twin Prop propellor turbo merchant on the phone.. more zed owners should talk on the phone, its great fun when you are drunk. like me. peace ------------------ -- Glen

I think I've worked out how to set the higher boost setting (with help), but I'm wondering if I can set the other setting so I get no boost (I'm thinking of bad weather/snow/ice) Vijay

Thanks for the Service manual!! Anyone who would like a copy like the parts cd then email me as before. peace.. ------------------ -- Glen

I have some very annoying 'pin' dents in the body of my Z, I've been told that Dentmaster may be the answer. Anyone had any experiences? How much does it cost? Any contact details? Thanks Guys

Glen Just a quick note, meant to post yesterday! Thanks for the CDs, havent loaded them yet but will try over the w/e. Definately owe u a pint. Tim

Hi Zsters. Just after a bit of technical help: Can anyone tell me what detonation sounds like and when it normally occurs. I understand what it is but have never actually experienced it. I ask this because I have been to SE Nissan today the have a new chip fitted. On the way there the car was fine, on the way back funny noise at high revs in 3rd gear. But the boost was not even adjusted. Just chip fitted. If I was to do an ecu check would the detonation sensor still pick it up if it is? Cheers for any help in this matter. Paul.

Ok-Ok, Finally sussed the pic out, in the rides. Craig a pint I do believe. She's a babe & she up for sale. SOB #-( harve

I need a Near-side head for my 1990 300ZX TT. If anyone has one please contact me as soon as possible.

Well its offical, Nissan are going to reopen the Hiratsuka factory to make me a f*cking windscreen! If you've seen my Z at Billing you would have saw the nasty set of cracks. Insurance garage said most of the parts are the same as the UK spec i.e. wing, trim etc, apart from one...the windscreen. This, my friends costs £600+ and takes a month to come from japan... "but I have had Autoglass replace my windscreen last year with no probs" I say. "They fitted the wrong one" says garage, "What is wrong with it" worries about strength and fixtures flashing around my head! "Its blue" say garage "Its what!" Yep as Autoglass had replaced my glass with a UK blue ti…

You need the name of your first ever pet as your first name and your mothers maiden name as you second; i.e. My pet fish= Bob Moms maiden name= Whyley Therefor I am, Bob Whyley.....Porn Star. (My Cannon Ball name) What's yours? (Andy Duff's is a classic) Matty. ------------------

Right, seeing as I'm a trifle f*cked off with life.. I'm off to look at an Import auto TT Zed this afternoon.. Apparently 29k on it (hmm!), and one small scuff on a quarter panel.. Hmmm.. Only £4995.. Hmmm.. We shall see.. But it's a dealer, so at least I can take it for a spin Oh and it's an Auto.. (waits for the boo's and hisses.. Lol)

Just spoke to KEVIN at 3g brakes and if we get 5 people together we can get 1: 20 groove discs front and back 2: ebc greenstuff pads front 3: rear pads ebc BREMBO CASTINGS PLEASE MAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE LIST.

The boy racer in me wonders what is best for a fast start that wont break the autobox. Lots of revs then into D or quietly into D them floor it? Anyone know? Yes I know manuals are faster to 60!

Brand new...cost £70...yours for £30 + postage! JEZ

Whats the score with the top link mod and is it supposed to stop the Z from destroying the inside edge of the front tyres? Paul

Well ive gone away for 4 days and when I returned they have built an entire McDonalds in what used to be an old car park a few hundred yards away. This could be way too handy. Without self controll I could end up being the lardiest lad in Z land and have to have a bench seat fitted in the front. My record is Chicken sandwich, 9 nuggets, large fries, Mc flurry and large milkshake in one sitting. Beat that Junk food fans! Paul
