Just looked at a nice Zed with a view to purchase. Front L/H shocker mount has some corrosion , not through, but enough worry me. Is this aexpensive to have welded, or more complicated than it seems?

When I get my Z back i a couple of weeks I want to post some Pics, How? do I do this? Does this involves HTML/ubb code, if it does I'm F****D. Cheers John

Mainly aimed at Nico, as I know that he is working on the inside? Come on, I can't wait any longer, when is this awesome game going to finally hit our boring shores???????????? Timmy--------- P.S. For you bikers out there, Is it a good idea for someone who has just passed their test to jump on a Blackbird???? Even if they are restrained and half sensible???????

Aghhhh! I heard a clunk and felt it by my feet when I turn right sharply over 3/4 lock. It has only just started doing it. It does not do it when turn right normaly even full lock or even when I turn left sharply. Help!! What can it be. Stuart.

Saw this, dunno whether it's any good because I'd never heard of OBX. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=592597418&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=993472382&indexURL=0&rd=1 Checked their web page but it doesn't give much away, price looks good so far though. Another with round tips was sold yesterday for about $130. Auction ends about day and a half from .... NOW !

Dear Diary, Today I went to put my Merc into main dealer to have his sunroof fixed. Then went to get insurance and tax for the womans Range Rover! She then decided to wash her vehicle at Tesco jet wash in Bangor. This was not so bad...LOL! As it must have been the first time in 6 months that she has wanted to wash her motor. Tip! When the buzzer goes for the initial shampoo wash, and then you have to use the brush, if you have someone else with you the lance still works while they are using the brush...ten dollar! Anyway, missing the point here, whilst sitting waiting for the jetwash, in rolls mr 300ZX TT with his mate in the car and T-bar roofs off...BASTA…

When I come on to the forum and leave a few messages they dont show up on the list. I can also there are more relpies have been left on a topic than I can see. If a topic says it has 2 replies, I load it up and there are 2 replies. I come back later it says there are 6 replies click on the topic and I can only see 2 maybe 3. Is any one else having the same problem as me or am I just embarrassing myself. If so I shall go crawl under a rock. Yours Shamefully, Stuart

Hi Changed the fuel filter on my Jap import today you get petrol all over however careful you are!!! Question: when removing the filter found long plastic tube insert in the petrol out side of the filter, reminded me of the same on my previous import 2 years ago, the Nissan filter does not come supplied with one so is it a jap thing or are you supposed to swop it over to the new filter? have left it out at moment runs ok ? ANY THOUGHTS? Jeff TT

Hi guys take a look at this link to a page on my web site first pic shows my zed today after I did the clear indicator conversion.

wanted drivers side seat belt for jap import 91, the one that is mounted inside door. Also passenger side door mirror must be folding type. cheers "T"............

Just bought a nice boost controller from Johnny, but instructions are in japanese,does anyone know where i can find some fitting instructions in english. Paul.

Completely shot now....It had a hole in each tube at the bend before the mufflers, now as I look just before the bolts that connect the last section to the underbody section, its snapped....How many sections does the exhaust have? I have a feeling that its the downpipes, then the cat convertor section, then the last section to the silencers...I hope not!

who do i need to get the piccies to so i can update my beast in the rides section

Need a little spraying on the bumper. [This message has been edited by SRRAE (edited 22-06-2001).]

Anyone tell me the location of the fuse for the passenger window. Is it one fuse for both windows. Cheers

Is anybody else still waiting for their traction control from the group buy? When I spoke to Johnny, I was on the last despatch list going out last Friday.
