Big thanks go to AndyP for showing me what a good example of an Auto TT goes like And for letting me drive it (brave man!) Next.. Does anyone live around my area - Slough/Maidenhead.. There's that TT I'm pondering ('ok' exterior (one dent), bad interior, but only 29k on the clock (if that's real mileage)) getting, and I'd really like a more experienced eye than my own to guide me on this decision Beers/money/sexual favours (but not if you're male ) in it for any volunteer..

OK, I'm trying to work out if buying a slightly worn (lol..) Zed is gonna be cost effective or not.. Basically, I'll need; Dash - upper area Front seats, or if the seats I'm buying aren't leather, then both front & rear seats Possibly a targa roof (drivers side), in black if poss. OK - anyone have those parts/want to shoot me a price? That way I can work out if this Zed works out cheap, about right, or expensive (and therefore not worth saving..) Cheers ------------------ Az

Seeking advice from anyone in the know on this subject!! I own a N/A 300ZX from the Japan... which comes with 7x16 alloys (same style as the UK twin Turbo alloys) but obviously lacking the additional inch in width. I have been offered a set of 8x16 UK alloys which I am very tempted by, but I just wanted to check does anyone know of any issues caused by changing these wheels over from the standard Jap to UK wheels...like fitment problems etc. I would be very grateful to anyone who can let me know if they know of any problems or (hopefully) it's just a straight swap. Cheers all Kindest Regards Nu

rather small and bad quality but better than nothing http://www.z32.org/unsorted/boxhill.wmv

Right stay with me on this one... Unmarked Mondeo has been around for a while round our partZ! TWAT! Anyway, me and the Mrs. were driving along this after...and I said to her..."what if that guy in the BURGUNDY MONDEO just sat there all day and was a bad COP and just starting writing peoples Regs' down???" Sorry, scenario is this...guy in unmarked Burgundy Mondeo has been around for months round our way with Laser gun! But what if he clocked you or didn't clock you! What if he just saw you coming and thought "yeah, I'll have them!" Take it to court, you've not got any solid evidence that you were NOT breaking the speed limit! He certainly has NOT got a…

Help needed by complete Terry where soundZ are concerned. Don't wanna pay the masses to fit my new ICE! Tooley mate, help! Just bought a nastey BlauPUNKED! for the Capt. Kirk...not arsed about how good it sounds but wanna get the "hey, I installed my own ICE!" out the way before I embark on the "kick Tooley arse show!" at Billing next year...sorry mate, but you have got the Bollox lead so far in terms of ICE! Me and Matty are the loyal followerZ of the man...El Tooley Generale....lock up yer daughterZ!!! LMAO! Get in touch mate, struggling! Tim ;-)

Right, firstly I think that Warren is top of the list...LOL! Being that he needs another back box to match his rediculously LARGE one sided event! ...we've(Matty, me, Ajay and Glen----co-conspirators!!!) decided that the best method behind the madness that is CannonBall....is to list about ten charities or so! Then all money raised by individuals/clubs/forums/registers will be split equally amongst the named charities. I personally would like to obviously see the main ones up on the list like MS, Cancer, AIDS etc. but do spare a thought for the HHHaaaannnnimmmals aswell. Battersea, Redwings or whatever, just a couple would be nice! Face it, this is gonna happen …

How do I change a tif, into a jpg. Bearing in mind I have a 1 gig laptop with a 56k pcm. God damn thing! harve.

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.

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

Hmmmm...nice ! I already wondered...it's hanging to one side...I wonder why drool ! t ------------------ http://300zx-twinturbo.com [This message has been edited by lymon (edited 03-08-2001).]
