Anyone got one from a breaking Zed? I have a 93TT Manual, UK Spec. Thanks Ajay aj_lkt@hotmail.com.

Which octane boosters have you chappies tried and do they make a noticeable difference? I've seen a few different brands but a lot of them have other fuel system cleaners and lubricants which I don't know if I should be feeding to my toy. I don't intend using all the time but next time I'm out for a days thrash I fancy a try.

I've swopped my standard stereo for my pioneer head unit today. My only problem is the ariel plug. Does anyone know if there is a connector to change it to a normal plug or do i have to chop the wires and fit a new one? Cheers. Rob. ------------------ Black 1991 300zx TT

Well just got back from the openday at Se-nissan and i have to say i was mighty impressed by what Pete has done there, MAXIMUM RESPECT #!!!!!! it was informative and i really learned quiteabit today. Well done, and it was a nice turnout...

Hmmm. Only had the car a couple of days and I guessed I would have a few little probs. Now excuse my lack of knowledge, but I think my TTmanual is running safety boost. It seems to *really* fly, but that is relative (relative to the fact I have never driven a zTT).. The boost gauge wont go above 6/7.. What should it read in a full-on, flat out kill the porsche at the lights situation?? Apologies for not searching thru the forum but it's late and i'm tired I read somewhere that the gauge should hit 10/11 and if it doesn't it's stuck in safety. Any pointers would help Also, I find that the HICAS light comes on after about 20 minutes of driving at 80mph and…

HI all with UD pullies. Just had one fitted and I just wanted to get an Idea of what I can expect. All the devices off the pully are running ok but when I get over 5000 rpm I get a bit of vibration and noise from the engine which gets dramatically worse by the time I hit 6000 rpm. Car used to be happy revving to 7000 so it's sounds like the pully needs further balancing or is this a trait with all pullies.

I was travelling round the M25 yesterday (junction 29 - 6) when I noticed there was about 10 small pylon like things with cameras on top of them (about 10metres high, and about 200yrds distance between each one). Are these things those bastard speed cameras which work out your average speed and don't flash. I bloody hope they weren't otherwise me and the the TT quattro I was toying with are gonna be banned!! I know the police were installing them but I didn't know they were there. Doh!!!! Anyone know?? CheerZ Chris

The full explaination and pictures of how to convert low speed cruise control to work at higher speeds is available on the Australian forum (link left of this notice) however if any body is interested i will post the abreviated text + add my observations of how to do the job easyier + links to the pics. on the site it is a six page down load! any one interested? Jeff TT Ps I will do it now if u r

Has any one a reccomendation for a suitable chip upgrade and a mild turbo boost tweek poss with boost jets in the actuator pipe line, my recent jap import is derestricted but stock bust and rev limit need some more go go Jeff TT

Hi all just thought i`d let you know that I converted my jap spec cruise control to work at higher speeds today and it works a treat! my last import I actually fitted aUK spec control unit but following a posting on the ozzy site a couple of resistor removed and another moved hey presto!at the very least it saves looking for a unit,only took abot 30 mins too.

Ive just came in from work to a lovely renewal from my insurance last year i was paying £540 which i think is good for a TT 1994 with a couple of mods but 6 months ago my wife skidded on some ice and hit a car resulting in a fault claim so anyway back to this renewal they want £1532 this year how the frecking hell can they justify that. When i rung them they told me its because it was because of the claim being my fault and they have to get so much back as theys more and more claims. Rip off or wat ? Can anyone recommend another as ive always thought i was lucky with insurance and didnt worry about it. Terry.

Well folks I am now a member of your wonderfull club..I got myself a bona-fide supercar tonight!! Proud owner of a white ZTT *Manual*. She is a minx; White, Nice condition 85k with lots of receipts and history - all the fancy bits seem to work ok, Aircon prolly needs charging and perhaps a wheel bearing, but I got 2.5k to spend on her to get her perfect: And *feck* me these things shift... perhaps the only thing I have driven that comes close is my Carlton GSI3000... but plant this TT in second gear and floor it and it sounds and feels like I'm going past mach2 hehe. I want to thank everyone on here for all your help and camaraderie. I love you all. /co…

Hi ChapZ, Some people have been getting the arse with regard to the SIZE of signatures, some have been complaining about the size etc. Boredeom etc. So, I decided that from now on I would make life more interesting for those who get BORED so easily... Enjoy, now I will try and change mine as much as possible to keep everyone happy! BIG SMILES ALL! Tim ;-) 1991 UK 300ZX TT Auto.

Every so often when i go to start the car (usally when theys people admiring the car)it does this auful screaching noise i think it could be the starter motor but not 100% its been doing this on and off for nearly a year now but laterly its more frequent.If it is the starter motor any ideas how much and could a novice change it ? Thanx Terry

Maybe I'm speaking to the converted.. but worth a look..shit loads of parts/cars/accessories. How about a 1990 for 2000 quid ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=587643737&r=0&t=0 Spotted yesterday, christ it'd been worth buying just for spares over here ! fecking americas.. there is no justice. stu

Thought 3gBrakes deserved a bit of praise. I ordered a set of grooved discs and greenstuff pads at the beginning of the week to be fitted friday morning, but their supplier kept f**cking them about, and they ended up not getting them till friday. But they machined them and dropped them off personally to me in Ipswich. Unfortunately it was too late for my mechanic to fit them today so I'm gonna do it myself tomorrow, but top marks to them for putting themselves out. They have also applied temperature sensitive paint to the rim, so that I can get some info on the sort of temps I'm reaching on the pads. They asked if they could do this because they've been reading the f…

Jack, got your email, but it's your work email.. I'm gonna fit the new discs/pads tomorrow morning. It'd be great to have someone that had went through this before to help... if yer bored ? Anyway, if you read this before noon on saturday give me a bell. stu 01473-272016

Teckee question. My aircon is not blowing cold, just pushing in ambient temp air. turn on aircon, revs pick up ok but no cold. done the test in an earlier post: windows down aircon on full wait 5 mins and check for bubbles in window, no bubbles. Its been in for a service recently and the mech said he could hear a 'whine' from the bearinbg or 'clutch' (!?) on the aircon pump. I've also checked the obvious fuses, seem ok. I tried to listen to the rlay to make sure it was switching but cant hear it, altough I cant hear the headlamp relay either. Any thoughts before I get a proper mech to diagnose. Bugeer its hot at the moment! Excuse to tka…

Hi People, I find that the t-bars do have a tendency to move around in the boot a bit. What is the best way to look after them whilst the car is in rapid motion???? Cheers Pali

She reversed into another car yesterday causing little damage to the Z but lots to the other car.Z's are well built. Problem I have is my classic car policy with 6k miles limit will show I had done 8K when the other person claims. any advise guys...

Anybody? Please email me. mszleminski@vendi.pl
