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! Danny ----------- Currently in Holland enjoying being a poser ! (It's like they've never seen a Zed over here ...)

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
