When I start my car in the morning sometimes, I see a puff of black/blue smoke. Its only when the car just starts to run and I stop the key. Its only 1 puff and then every thing is fine. No more smoke at all, even when I boot it. The car runs great. What could it be. Are my turbo seals going and I am getting some oil in the exhaust. Help please anyone Stuart (Slightly worried)

Geoff. Got a great price on Turbo`s today. 360`s thrust bearing. Smithy has ordered his. I could do with you getting in touch ASAP. Sorry lost your tel no. RegardZ Johnny ------------------

has anyone got/had a problem with the seals round the door leaking? Mine look pretty new but I noticed when its raining, I get drips of water from the rubber seal round the passenger seat door, is this due to the TTops? is it the same for everyone to get a few drips? or should my car be water tight. Seems to mainly happen after I open the door when its raining, maybe a few drips are falling done or getting trapped any suggestions?

My friend gave me this. It is a clip of Grand Turismo 3. Cool car The Mpeg is 1,343kb http://www.z32.org/unsorted/zglowing2.mpeg

Well just had a look at all this talk about insurance and thought how bloody lucky I am, heres my situation: When I purchased my Z heres what needed to be done: Transmission rebuild, rear seal done, Timing valve unit replaced, 2 new tyres, 2 yes 2! new cambelts, and new air con unit and my warranty company paid for the lot, thank god Now, insurance, I will put this into punds so it makes more sense. I purchased my Z for $13,000 NZ, 91, NA, 2+2 with 103K on the clock, this is about 4300pounds. My insurance which covers everything including an elephant sittin on it, is 15pounds per month my excess I have to pay on a claim is $50pounds seems a good deal af…

Went for my lunch at M&S and just inside the car park was a lovely black TT on an L plate. Anyone know who dat was? I might make up some 300zx fliers and keep them in the car, coz I keep seeing them everywhere now...which is not what you need when you've been seperated from your own for so long! SULK! Tim ;-)

Mine has just gone down 30% this year Still twice as much as I would like to pay though! Anders...have you got below £5k yet

Please read it, fool proof, comment..it's a beta version. Tell me what you think about it [ http://www.angelfire.com/geek/vg30dett/Cluster/Fix_Cluster.htm

Dead easy. Did the ECU end last night and the ABS tonight. I'd recommend any of you try it yourself if you have a soldering iron. Mine is a Jap import and the wiring is just as in the UK instructions supplied. I'll test it out tomorrow ;-)

Hi mate, tried emailing you but it bounced back. I was wondering if you are definately going ahead with your purchase of that gorgeous pearl import of not ? I saw you have you NA up forsale (great looking car By the way!). RegardZ Glen

I want to start my own ZX site. I know that there are many of them around. I want to put people rides in to it, and I want info for people who what to buy a Z. A few sound clips of Z's with different exhausts. What else can I put on it? Any suggestions, crazy ones, good ones. Also I would like people to help by sending me pictures of their car for the rides and sound clips of them. BUT NOT YET PLEASE. I want the rides to be special and I want specific pictures for it. Any help would me great. Stuart.

I've looked through previous posts about bodykits and on one it said that Simon H's bodykit is a Strosek. What I wanted to know is about the side skirts, they look like the ones that Luke does for the wide arch kit, but from the rides section it doesn't look as though Simon has the wide arch kit (maybe wrong) cos he still seems to have the normal petrol filler cap. Does anyone know??? Cheers Vijay

Hi, I saw an impressive lime green Z with serious body kit yesterday in Yatton Keynell at the body shop there. Is it someone from on this site? If so where did you get all that work done? Was it round here (Chippenham, Wilts)? I loved the flared rear wheel arches and enourmose wheels! Cheers, Andy

My local Nissan gave (and subsequently rechecked) these complete blade part nos; Front (both) KE28889928AE Length:50cms Rear KE28889927AE Length:48cms (These are boxed as 928 or 927.) My UK's existing three blades are all the same length and the same metalwork design. They are about 56cms long. They look right to me as the end of one front drops into that dent in the windscreen surround. Does anyone know the correct parts or a better source. Sorry if this is a bit too exciting! Pete M

OK, I know it's not a Z (In the Nissan sense) but I just thought someone here might be interested before it goes to a wider audience. Not been ridden for a while but does start. In fact not been ridden since last engine rebuild was completed - 11 years ago.

Hi people, anybody who has a Jap import, do you have a small black switch underneath and to the right of the steering wheel??(Craig you know what area I mean) I don't want to strip it all down if I can help it to find out what it is, if its stock Cheers

Right, I know It's not ICE as such but I have for sale (if anybody wants it!!) A stock radio and CD player from my UK Z I don't think anybody will want it but it's worth a post, isn't it? Matty.

Two guys are sitting in a quiet, rundown bar. In walks another man, dressed very sharply in a dark suit and carrying a briefcase. The two men are surprised to see such a man in their local bar. "Looks like a lawyer to me" says the first man. "No, I'd say an accountant" his friend replies. After some squabbling, the first man decides to go over to the sharply dressed stranger to settle the debate. "Excuse me" says he, "But my friend and I were having an argument over there and were wondering if you could help. Tell me: are you a lawyer or an accountant?" "Why, I'm neither a lawyer nor an accountant" he replies. "I'm actualy a reasonable scient…
