What's the longest that you've been without yer Z then? Reason for me asking is that I'm taking alot of flack at the moment for mine being MIA for so long. But some of us have had considerably long spells without their monster! I know Warrens car was off the road in Spaghetti land after crapping out on him big time outside a PizzaHutta...mamma mia! Nico, yourZ must have been off the road for a while now aswell? Tim ;-)

OK.. Started ringing round for insurance today.. Goddamn they take the p1ss on imports don't they? So.. I might have to go for a UK car (unless some miracle happens, or I decide f*ck it and pay £1750 for TPF&T).. What's the best way to tell the difference between an import & a UK car? Sorry for the dumb question ------------------ Az

White Zed G*** UAL with a round blue sticker nearly covering the L (! ) parked on a driveway in Slough yesterday afternoon... Anybody....?

How many of you lot are coming to this event. It would be good to see a few more ZX's than last time. Went to JAE for the first time this year and saw some awsome 300's. Whoose was the the Green Z with the nice rear spoiler (I want one).

To whom it may concern.... I bought on my way home from Western-Super-Mare a PS2 GT3 Box set... ....Wooohooooo.... And now I fear I am addicted..... Me and my Yaris 1.5J (now at 197 bhp) are tearing up the tracks big time..... And hints and tips for a new guy to GT3? (waits for Timmy Twin Tubs comments) Cheers.... Addicted....

Got my car back from Nissan, 2 questions: 1) They machined the discs and put new pads on all 4 wheels, when the car has stopped and I let the brake off lightly the brakes tend to make a rubbing noise, is this cause I havent worn the pads in long enough? 2) they replaced the airflow meter to fix my hesitation problem, now I mainly seem to have hesitation and erratic revving when the engine is cold, any ideas?

as ive only just managed to get back to some form of normality i thought i'd say cheers to all the peeps from saturday......it was a good laugh and i honestly wasnt tryin to shark in on anyones ladies i was just lookin after them lol........you guys should have stayed over on saturday i had the best laugh ive had all year....i need to get me a south african accent it sounds top notch the only downside of the weekend was the lack of doughnut action so its a good job i got some in at the services........roll on the next 300 weekend. how can i get to see those piccies the 200 lot put up as ive tried but i'm getting no joy at all

Only joking, can anyone suggest a garage to fit(and maybe supply) the heater core. SE cant fit me in till after the 20th of Aug , so any recommendations in the London or surrounding areas would help me alot, as I dont fancy going round silverstone without it. Ta, Trev.

to lazy to go back in the posts so who can give me some hints please

JUST MAIL ME SO I GET A LIST OF PEOPLE PLEASE NOW NOW NOW IF YOU ARE STILL READING THIS YOU ARNT MAILING ME !!!!

As we've all seen the previous posts on front end braking shake, mine aswell. I still can't solve my cars. I've had 4 wheel laser alignment, discs skimmed (both sides at once)! wheels checked, And today had the hubs & discs clocked on the car, pads 8-9mm on and re-champerd. All is ok, but the cars still very eratic under long bracking 70 down to 30 or so. When I have to stop quicker its fine! Could it be the 2" ish rubber bush on the brace arm worn, making the wheels tuck in or out under braking. Or any of the steering bushes wearing that would cause this. Its getting expensive having work done with no result, and I'm running out of ideas. Need hel…

and are they any good? Vijay

I was the guy with the white scratched up Z. I think I worked out who Johnny and Tooley were but that was it. Vijay

I have a 90 TT 2+2 import with the original Km speedo ect. Anyone have a UK spec dash that I can buy - or know where I can get one, or get mine converted?

I posted recently regarding the rattle coming from the centre underneath of my TT recently - I just wanted all you great guys who replied/helped to know - that it turned out to be the middle exhaust section/balance box! I have sourced a Stainless Steel unit from SE Engineering - Malvern @ £260.00. Anyone know of similar for less money? 90 JAP TT 2+2?? Cheers again!

I'm wanting to change the radiator in my 300, (1991 twin turbo auto), but have found it to be different to the diagram in the Z32 manual (LC-13). Where the diagram has the two 'A/T oil cooler hose' (in and out) joining the radiator down one side. My rad has these two pipes on BOTH ends of my current radiator, with the two top pipes joining into one in a fork, and then the pipe going off towards the engine, similarly with the bottom pipes. On checking the current radiator the flow form the top of one side, comes out the bootom of that side, and the same for the other side, (ie seems to be two separate cooling sides for the A/T oil) Has anyone seen/heard of this…

OK here goes opening a huuuge can of worms I'm after a Zed, and have the chance at an Auto that's a steal at the price.. I've driven Auto's before - but they were Rover 620, 623 and a Nissan Bluebird 1.8GS (which was a bit dodgy ).. Other than that, it's always been manuals for me.. What's peoples opinion in the Auto box in the Zed? (a 1990 Z).. Am I gonna get bored when I go down the twisties? Does it suffer from lag particularily? And one other thing - I have a tendency to mod my cars What kind of HP will the Auto box take before it explodes into a million little pieces? Thanks guys ------------------ Az

Immaculate, seriusly upgraded 300zx, see earlier add by myself for details on spec. Had Gasket gone, hence £4000!

When i turn my aircon on it blows hot air in my face, someone said I need to get it regassed or something, can they do this anywhere......? is it going to cost me lots on wonger...?

Hey ya'll Talking to a few guys at billing yesterday there was a few people that wanted parts from courtesy but didn't wanna pay the delivery. I too might wanna put a little order in soon so here is what i suggest. If there are people out there that want smallish items from CN post your interest and what you want here - we can then work out numbers and if it is worth doing. Note Small parts only as we wanna keep it to a 60 dollar carton. So No Exhausts , Drive Shafts , Trannys , Engines or Body parts im afraid. Remmeber also if you are thinking abuot it you will need to Add VAT and Duty onto the price of the Item as CN Shippments ALWAYS get…

if i wanted to replace the wiring that runs to the coils, (ie, all the connections) is this a big job and expensive or what. 1 how do i check fuel pressure 2 how do i knwo if ptu sensor is faulty

Posted this earlier on tt.net but I thought you guys might like to see what we've been upto down under. Check out 600plus.com .. theres a link of the front page about a Z engine with TD06-20G turbos... Rowan

.. that I am clueless to what it does. It is a ‘Field’ Air/Fuel mixer in dash, I dont know if it is even working. Shall I press the button marked "super-pursuit mode" or just leave it well alone?? Thanks Glen

Alwight chapz Does anyone here on this fine forum know whence I can get some stickers? I was after HKS, GReddy and Veilside. Ta Glen.

Excellent news fellow Z-sters - I finally got my car back from Polesworth! Got the radiator rebuilt and some of the clips on the fuel lines replace and all seems well with the beauty. The only critisism I had was that one of the mechanics must have hit the front spoiler on something as it is now cracked and paint chipping off. I have brought it to the manager's attention and they will work something out for me over the next week. Bastards! Took the car over to Holland this morning (see what you mean about the forward facing purple cameras on the A14 toward Harwich). Not sure if I was done because I can never figure out what the legal speed limit is on dual carriage ways…
