Guys I am gonna rip out my drivers seat tomorrow to grease up the springs cause it creaks everytime I sit in it, anything I should know about removing the electric seat, things to avoid, tips etc?

In keeping with the whole dock-hanger-abouterer theme of my recent posts, I would like to say i have cured my knob problem but now have a question about my ring!! Yup the scratched Razo gearknob is going to be replaced, but here is my question: My blow off (oooerr) valves are very quiet, is it possible to replace something inside them to get a bigger swiiissshhh noise as I like scaring old ladies on the way to the post office??

Hi chaps have a tech thought for ya. When I ran a Sierra Cosworth I looked at the dump valves available at the time and the cost, and surmised that the ford fitted unit did exactly the same but vented back into the inlet. So I disconnected the return and blanked off the inlet and hey presto full sushh sound as Max Ford had intended. Later I uprated so much I fitted a dump valve with a kevlar diaphragm and so and so ...... but that another story. Still with me? well decided to have a look at the same theory with my zed, after loads of puffing and grunting trying to remove the air box gave up and tackled it from below. Bloody under trays !!!! removed thr return a…

Hi My passenger seat is wound right back and will not move at at. I think there is a problem with the elecrics as one of the block connectors is missing (the one closest to the control buttons on the electric connector under the seat). Does anyone have any expertise in these things, ie is it just a positive and negative power source? If it is I guess i could wire it straight to the battery and test it that way, also does anyone know if there is a manual override to move the seat forward? Ta chaps. ------------------ -- Glen

Zeadly Intentions... There's nothing quite like the 300ZX, It scares old people, the kids and the pets, It sees a Porch Boxster it just flexes its Pecs, Nothing quite like a 300ZX! Yeah shes got an addiction for fuel, But always up for a scrap or a duel, Kicks arse like a Japanese mule, She can be a handful, and a dangerous tool! Some will spend their entire life arguing "Auto or Manual?", Personally I would much rather own a Cocker Spaniel, Or listen to a song by a romping homo 'bout a guy called Daniel, Or end up christening my kid Nathaniel! Its lights are crap, might as well be blind, Brake discs warp and pads just grind, HICA…

I would like to 'clock back' my jap 300. Not for any illegal reason rather that I have converted the car to MPH and the miles are now clocking up as opposed to the KMs on top of the 81,000 KMS on it to start with. Anyone else tried this? Tim

Sold my Z cos it was to expensive to keep on the road. With the money I got from it I managed to buy this Hehehehehe

i sit a big job to change the speedo and all that, i want to fit new faces and was wondering

Just spoke to Pete, he's got a new engine guy in to work with him until he comes upto speed. F1 experienced guy no less!

So, save a place for me at Blackpool guyZ and GirlZ, if all goes well I will be there! Timmy soon to be Twin Tub again

Hey guys fitted my new Nishiobo front discs and pads today and guess what ............ they have cured the brake judder and shake at 70 mph completely in fact the whole experience of braking at any speed is so much smoother no pulsing when slowing at a junction etc.seems the old discs must of got real bad without me realising. Now got to go slow, brake gentle etc to bed them in, At present they seem ok will update as some mileage is added to them. Jeff TT

Was travelling back from the Isle of Cheese and in Northampton coming up thru the mad roundabout section there was a convertible XKR behind me. Now then, I didnt want to race because I had Barry White playing on the in car mp3 widget,but He comes flying up behind me on the dual carraigeway so we cruise up towards the next roundabout and i drop into second and navigate the roundabout at 40ish with this [Fabrizio Ravanelli lookalike) right up me greddy-pipes, so I floor it out of the roundabout and hit the rev limiter (feck me i didnt know i even had one) and wack it quicklike into third, spooling upto treble miles an hour and this ploink is not keeping up with me?? I…

Right, have just been on me old mate Phuongs' website over the pond and he's running a nifty little sale on Brembo discs, drilled at Stillen with all the gubbins to boot! I've already enquired about shipping costs coz this lot will be heavy...as soon as he's mailed me back I'll let you know. But I had a Techtom and an ASP underdrive pulley from him recently and the box was large and quite heavy. But didn't get stung, paid £32 for the lot...result! Price is $580 which at todays exchange rate equalled £407.069 GBP...not bad eh? Check it! Got Brakes? Tim ;-) [This message has been edited by Timmy_Turbo (edited 31-07-2001).]

I just wondered if anyone has ever heard of anything like a warning lamp for the detonation circuit. After my recent scare, it occured to me that since I have an avc-r, that if my ecu recognized detionation, that it would not go into safety boost, but the timing would be retarded (which I did not notice. Would it be easy to wire up some sort of warning l.e.d to tell me that something is up. I suppose the only other way is to do a regular ecu diagnostic run. Does a Tectom or any other device give warnings? Cheers Vijay

.. are now all copied (sorry for the delay), and are going in the post tomorrow to all who emailed me. Anyone else who didn't email me can on glenlewis@newyorkcity.com and I'll send you the disk also. ------------------ -- Glen

Whats the difference between a policeman with a gatso and going down on a woman? When you go down on a woman you can see the cunt behind the bush!

i did the corvette licence test first time out, it was easy......

Vijay, Sorry to hear about your misfortunes with regards to your underpanelling. My left front panel has also been damaged and was dragging along the road (have it secure now with some wire). I want to replace all three panels as soon as possible. If you still need some, perhaps we can do some sort of group buy. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers m8!
