Hi all, As some of you may be aware I was very excited about a purchase of an Apexi AVCR from Xpress Motorsports in the US. The thing was supposedly despatched on April the 3rd. The weeks have gone by and no still no AVCR. Have mailed Chris & Jason Prenovost who handle the order, guess what ?? no response. Today I finally got though on the Phone and spoke to a very nervous person who answered as Xpress Graphics. He said the Xpress Motorsports has been closed and Chris & Jason no longer work here. This guy gave me some other numbers but I have had no luck tracking down these guys down. I have lost just over £300 and I paid with my De…

I'm looking for contacts in Japan that could help me find (and ship) parts like engines/gearboxes or complete wrecks/front-clips for that matter. I have an address of a Japanese breaker that has the ability to ship parts, but they only want to do bussiness if I want to buy at least 6+ engines or 3+ frontclips. I know it's pretty common in the UK to import cars straight from Japan, but what about wrecked cars or parts ? Any suggestions ? Thanks, Eric ------------------ http://300zx-twinturbo.com

I remember reading that there was someone who was trained in Nissan TT's (i think it was Aldershot Nissan), Does anyone know who this bloke is an if it is in Aldershot, I am having real problems with my car and don't really want to take it to any old Nissan garage.

okay people, looks like i can get some url stickers made up, who wants some ? i am planning on putting them into my quarter lights, not too interested in a front/back windscreen one just yet... they are cheap as well, 50p each or something, and 1 quid or something for the larger anyone got the dimensions of the usable width at the bottom of the quarter light ?

WOW This kicks arse. Now not only is this the best forum for content but it looks the best too Nice work Craig and Nico!

For months I've been trying to find the source of a rattle / knock from somewhere in the back. I checked the rear suspension etc but no joy. Then finally tried popping the hatchback release while driving over a rough road. Instant silence. Cure was to loosen and reset the fixed lock plate so it held the door closed tighter. Rattle was coming from the lock mech.

the toyota supra was delayed for launch in 1990 as the 300zx tt was thaught so far ahead in design and technology, they had to go back and redesign the concept of the toyota supra,,, so ha ha ha

Recently bought a new CTS For ECU from nissan and went to fit it at the weekend. On removing the old one it looks different from the new one nissan has supplied!. The shape and depth of the sensor is quite different. Is this the wrong one thay have supplied or has the manufacturer changed the design?. I would be grateful for any views please guys before I install!. Cheerz Simon H

I know I am probably teahing most people who post here to suck eggs, but just in case you are interested.... I followed the instructions to clean out the throttle bodies today, and it seems to have done the trick to my idling problem. Whilst I was doing it I noticed that my throttle cable was quite loose, so I tightened it using the two nuts. What a difference, I guess it's my fault for forgetting it when I have been servicing the car (it's easy to overlook). Makes a hell of a lot of difference, like I said it's easy to miss and cables do stretch over time. Check yours it only takes a few minutes to do. You don't even have to open the bonnet - just puch th…

i am just testing out some new bits of code and things, and you might notice some wierdness (more than usual.... ;) we may lose 1 or 2 posts over the next 30 mins or so, but nothing major....

Did the group buy go ahead?

I own 92TT Jap 56000 miles ish...It runs like a dream However, as is evident from the forum the auto is a bit suspect. Is it worth the additional cooler/flush/oil upgrade etc at this "late" stage or should I just save up for the inevitable???? Please help.... Regardz

Assuming you didnt need any work done like a new engine or anything major :) What would you spend £2000 on for your Zed? Engine mods? Bodykit? Interior? ICE? Suspension? Big Brakes? etc or would you replace the parts that may be tired or worn i.e. all the bushes, Ball joints, bits people dont think of till they fall off! I know I would have a nice Mines ECU over new ball joints any day :-) Just curious to see what you guys would get. See ya, Trev UK 300ZX Club

Well, after nearly a week of driving my Z, I can say I am very impressed. The first day in the wet was great fun! Driving around in the sun with the roof off turns quite a few heads as well. But you know all this allready. I tried to that HICAS test thingy with no luck, any pointers?? Also, is there a way of removing the speed limiter (155) without altering the boost? Not that I've been going over 170 without a problem at 9psi. Could there be something wrong with my speedo? because I thought the car was standard. Thanks Rob.

Hi, Is there a particular visual feature on the car from which you can tell if the ZX your looking at is a Twin Turbo or Not? Pali
