If you're at a track day and Mr. Rowan "unlucky rubber face" Atkinson asks you for a once round the oval in your Z...tell him to get lost sharpish!!! LMAO! Mr. Bean Crashes Aston Martin Tim ;-)

Nissan part number for the 180 mph gauge??? I think it's an UK spec part....do you have the part number by any chance ? Zee you Henri

Once again those wonderful people at Thames Valley have decided to spend more of our Tax Payers money on stopping a crime (if you could call it that) of little importance instead of concentrating efforts on catching rapists, murderers and theives. See below: Thames Valley Police are mounting a 6 month speeding campaign from the 1st July, on the M40, M4 and A34. They have been equipped with the following unmarked vehicles- BMW 535I, 1 Silver & 1 Dark Green Seat Cordoba 2.0 VTI in Silver Vectra 2.5 SRI- 1 Black & 1 Red Omega 3.0 SRI- 1 Burgundy Volvo S40 T4- 1 Red Volvo S70 - 1 White VW Bora 2.3 VTI - Red VW Passa…

Guy`s. Please take a look at the site. I know there is loads still to do but I would appreciate any input towards developing the site. I have a forum on there which may be of help also any bits and bobs you would like to get info about, you may find other club users have the answer. I have asked Tooley to behave until I get it going but I forgot Chris Lloyd. I will let Tooley and Mark sort him out (Max Power Drinking sessions!) If I have helped any of you guys with parts and you would like your car featured please let me know. It would be great to have the Z guys on 1st for a little bit of support. Look out for the pics from Max Power whi…

Got my car back from Nissan, still havent fixed the fuel/hesitation problems, now they think they might rip out the Air Flow Unit and replace it, anyone know what this is, does and costs? sound like a realistic thing to have to do?

How much fuel can my 91 NA 2+2 hold in Litres? and after the petrol pump does its clicky thing how much more could I squeeze in?

Nooo not the fish but the loowwww soundz.. What would any of you big ICE install boyz and galz recommend for the boot? I have great head unit with nice door speakers - tweeters and 5's in the doors. I cannot find anything to fit in the rear speaker holes (91 import)... would you recommend fabricating a complete box for the boot out of MDF.. my current box wont fit (12" fosgate) and was wondering what you chaps are running in the boot? Thanks Glen

I saw a red zed going down Beaper Shute near Tesco, was that you matey?? If it was, I was the hooligan coming in the opposite direction in a black veilside Z and flashing my lights like a coked up pinball machine Glen.

Got up Sunday AM, hungover, spent all day detailing me new Z, putting in some MP3 ICE and sorting out the leather with KIWI. Drove her to show me dear old mum (she said it was too low and not practical for a family man LOL ) Came back and went to the pub and spent most of the night telling people about my new baby!! Staggered home and, get this, fell ASLEEP reading Ray Hutton's Enthusiasts Companion book... Woke up and went to earn some squidz, hehe couldn't take the Z coz the ramp upto the rooftop car park has a steep ramp and the Z is only 2inches off the floor.. thing is everywhere I go people stop and look, they come over and start talking to me about the Ze…

Im sure a while back someone mentioned something that was brilliant for cleaning up leather seats. I didnt take much notice then because I didnt have leather but now I do so what was it called. Paul

Is that any one here?

Im not really a guru on the 300's so I need a little advice so that I don't get a lemon. Firstly I went to view my first Z today, a 1990 NA 2 seater import, fabric interior huge wheels (265 on the rear) 65K/Km for 5G's. Just a few questions. Why does it only have 110mph on the clock? It doesn't have a fog light, yet it has an MOT + Drivers seat wobbles like a blamonge*? Are all two seaters imports? I want a 2 seater, targa, TT, prferably silver, How much? Sorry if non of this makes sense, Im just so excited cos Im test driving it 2morrow. thanks marc * Im not responsable for spelling errors!

Know this sounds odd but why do Nissan put twin cam on the top of the engine cover when its a quad cam? Jeff TT

Following my front wheel damage due to a pothole and the subsequent repair job I'm experiencing some steering wheel shake at motorway speed. I'm probably going to buy a new pair of wheels and the supplier have recommended ET25mm Is anyone else using this offset? Thanks Steve

79,000 miles ,Jap service hist and a bit of uk. Leather, red, £5995, awseome twinspoke 5 spoke alloys( only 16`s but they look right),not sure the central locking works .think i remember him opening noth sides with the key.Huge spoiler,rmember the drivers seat looking ever so slightly-y`know when the leather creases and lines slightly- but that`s about right for a G1990 isn`t it? Automatic Twin Turbo.No marks on the paintwork,underside of front bumper was a bit scuffer and centre covers on the inside of alloys was a bit flaked off but that`s about right for 1990 isn`t it.Any telltale signs i should look out for when driving it at 2pm?

just got my ZX bacl from Nissan, think the hesitation is fixed, but they are a bit iffy about my fuel consumption problem, is there anyway to test find out if the car is using too much gas, Nissan say the o2s are fine, new fuel filter, no leaks still only getting 300-350ks from a NA 2+2 auto

Did someone post a while back to say there was a device you could get to simulate a BO Valve in a Non Turbo? if so, whats the link? Sean 'will my car ever run right?'

If you want to call me on 07968586039 we can have a chat... I have recently been going through exactly what you are going through... It is so stressfull just *looking* around for the right Zed But I was very lucky, thanks to Chris F, I got an absolute Gem. (but I lokked at a hell of a lot of *CRAP*)(http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/chrisfoster/) Previously I bought an f**king pile of shite... paid 4.3k and it was clocked back from 140k to 80k.. got a refund but the whole affair cost me about a thousand pounds. Try getting finance from your bank as personal loan, then wait for the right car to find you Gimme a call if you want a chat, trust me I know about trying to …

Hi, Would it be possible for one of you guyz to change the hyperlink on the rides section from ChrisF to 'Glen'? I am going to a take another couple of pix when I get back home to the gorgeous Isle of Wight and would love it if you would put them up for me Great Glen.

...will fit any 5 speed manual Non-Turbo 2+2 Z32, to cure the dreaded 'driveline vibration' at speed. Brand new and still in original boxes...cost over £200 from MJP last month...will accept £100! (The problem cured itself, and then I sold the car anyway!) JEZ

I'm looking for a rear wiper motor. as my motor has a 'dead short' and likes to blow fuses...!! Thanks Rob
