Oi Tooley you sad git!!! Were you at Tesco's in Chorley today??? I'll let you know how I know if it was you CheerZ, Andy

After a spankin' new set of boots 900 miles ago, I'm ready for more. (rear that is). And after a long conversation with Andy Duff, (cheers mate). :-) It seems even Bye eye the toe in is miles out! I can knock up a jig with a 48" vernier guage to measure the differance! & correct by perhaps dividing the inclusion x 4 ! Is this correct are the wheels absolute parralel on draft (sides) Can 'Kwick Zit' & such do a satisfactory job or do I 'ave a go. Experiences welcome. harve.

Hi I am in sweden in Vasteras til the 19/6/01 and I havewn't seen any ZZZ yet. Do we have any members in Sweden?

On a course today & tomorrow and don't have email addresses for you all at home (due to windows reinstall). As per my emails yesterday, I'm assuming we'll meet at Craig's at 6:20 with the aim of leaving immediately. This will give us time to get to Dover and sort of Warren's ticket problem. Andy, if you get to me at 6:00 then I'll have the kettle on ! And, having looked at Andy's "guide to Le Mans", it looks as though I chose about the loudest, lariest campsite going. Still, the Sunday night drag racing looks like a bit of fun ... Dave

Hello Steve, Did you get my mail? Cheers Vijay

Hi Guyz, I would like to read some thoughts about where to put these blow off valves. I am getting the four rubber hoses changed to s/steel ones, and because the blow off valves look good I want them under the bonnet. They are a bit crap under the bumper any way. Which set of pipes do you all think would be better the inside or the outside set? Which would be louder and which ones lost a member about 40 bhp???.

Ok, I've been searching the net for Bodykits for days now... and though I've found quite a few, (mainly Veilside) I don't like them as much as the one I have already. So.... much broader research is needed, which is where you all come in. I need as many kit options as I can lay my hands on. So ask yourselves...what is the nicest looking kit you've seen on a Z (and can you supply a link to its picture...name it's manufacturer... or perhaps even the supplier?) ANY help you can all offer will be much appreciated Thank you [This message has been edited by Jayen (edited 12-06-2001).]

If a guy got out of that I'd have to suspect that he was batting for the shirt-lifter brigade...know wot I mean? ------------------------------- Tim :-

Sorry, couldn't resist it! Tim ;-)

Hi, Having just bought a 300zx could I ask for advice: My car is a TT manual UK model registered in 1990. 1. It drives very well but has high miles - 126K. Is there anything to watch out for? I have files of bills for: new turbos(99K), rear stearing arms, Brake master cylinder, Timing Belt(110K), Clutch(96K). It has full history but is there anything to keep an eye on? 2. It has a Scorpion exhaust and the boost gauge reads 14psi under acceleration. Is this normal? I have checked the ECU and it has a Nissan badge on it. 3. Occasionally when hot the clutch judders slightly on engaging. Is this a sign the clutch is worn? How long on average do they last? 4. Do…

As a new Z driver, I thought I'd share a trivial but very annoying feature of my car. The ignition key gets locked in the ignition every time and I have to release a little spring just above the black release button to remove it. Not cool at all. Anyone else had this problem, and know if the locking mechanism on the ignition key can be removed safely. I was hoping to put a picture of my car here but don't know how - its a red SWB TT with a full Veilside R bodykit - gorgeous.

Hi guys. This book is now out of print. I have found a place who has the last batch of them and is willing to do a group buy for us (it's not that expensive anyway). They are all mint copies and the book is meant to be a really good read. Is anyone interested? I'm certainly getting one. The basic price is about 14.50 per book but I can get it much lower for greater quantities. See ya, Andy p.s. I'll be away for Le Mans from Thursday morning so I won't be able to answer any posts until Monday night at the earliest. Book details: "NISSAN 300ZX", by Ray Hutton. 'The Enthusiast's Companion'. Published in England in 1990. 112 pages, size 9.8in by 7…

Does anything on the car need changing if I put a Cone style air filter instead of the stock ones? Some told me that you should change the timing slightly! Is this true. Changed my filters a few days ago and the old ones where covered in crap, the person I bought it of a few months ago hadn't changed them for a very long time. The car ran so much better when clean ones where put. Does a cone filter make it even better? Cheers Stuart.

Just curious What would be the top speed of a totally stock TT Manual? I understand they are restricted at 155mph, but if that restriction is removed what will it hit?? Thanks. Glen

A question. My Zed just back from Nelson Mandela after amongst other things had a whiney idler pulley replaced, so I assume they removed the rad. Even from cold this evening the fan seemed to be running at max speed. I'll phone them in the morning but any ideas on cause? Seem to remeber past posts about naked sender units. Glenn

: oh and yes its z related, this is what your gear splines do when you have 600bhp lol

Hi any ideas why my jap import looses power at 120MPH lower if in lower gear is it possible a bad quality speed limiter fitted? help? the boost is ok (last line from max)and the car runs ok all other times. Jeff TT

Forgive me Z forum for I have sinned, this is my first confession. I was beaten by a Daewoo in my 91 TT. Yes, going to Salford on a rather wet day, along the East Lancs, where, for people who dont know the Mancherster/Liverpool area, there are several traffic lights along a national speed limit dual carrage way. Pulling up to traffic lights where a Daewoo confronted me by pulling up in the lane next to me. Revving his engine, I was not strong enough to resist this temptation. The light changed from the firy hell red to green. And I was off. After 30 seconds of wheel spin I began to move just in time before the lights turned to red I was slo…
