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

I went to the nissan home page to see if there was anything about the new 300. Couldn't read a bloody thing! I did however see the word skyline and clicked on it. Loads of squiggles and 504.8. It looked more like a price than a HP rating so I banged it into MSN money converter. Get this, 28 big ones. That is 27 grand cheaper than it is to buy one here. Group buy anyone?

I BADLY need new mufflers. Mine have holes in them the size of fists! I'm trying to buy a used set of stock mufflers. My car is a 90 NA. Will a stock exhaust fit between a NA and TT? Will a stock exhaust fit between 2seater and 2+2? Finally - do you wanna sell me a set that is in decent shape, cheap and will fit? Thanks and take care, Maciek
