Trev.

I have a 91 UK 300zx which by the looks of it has the original wheels it was born with. I have looked up some companies who recondition wheels and they work out about 120 quid for a full set. Anyone had this done? What are the results like? Do they last? Thanks.

Thanks for the reality check people. I've printed your comments and they are now lining my cell walls! My real brain is being sent back to me soon hopefully so you won't have to put up with stupid posts like the last one :)

GuyZ, Look at this, it's now 01:25ish, and you lot are all tucked up in Tigger and Roo land...aggghhhh, so I challenge you to an all nighter... Or is mumma making you Horlix at 21:00 hours? LOL Tim ;-)

As I have fitted the '99 Jap spec clear tail lights, I have the original ones for sale. £40each or £75/pair. Steve

Hi, Is there some FREE way on the net I can check out a cars history? It seems in the US there are a few free sites but they don't work for me obviously, cos I live in RIP OFF BRITAIN. The UK sites I have found come with a price, which I am too stingy to pay. Any help would be appreciated. Ta Eddie ;-) Still without my AVCR :-(

Hi, To save me getting my knees, elbows, etc dirty can anyone tell me the size of the engine oil cooler pipe fittings.

Thanks for the tip Vijay :o) Ok well, to all who take a look at this thread... I live in Newquay (Cornwall) and haven't been able to find a garage willing to look at my Z without ripping me off. I know diddly about mechanics so need to take it somewhere that won't make a hash of things. Anyone know of anywhere reputable? cheers

i know who you are, please stop or risk exposure. sorry, but that is the only way to deal with the issue. i wouldn't have expected it of you, to be honest. maybe you had a bad day, or were just annoyed at what was possibly a bad answer, but hey.. noone needs to get personal or insulting on here... it sparks off a whole load of bad feeling and retaliatory posts, which you can see, and which is the reason why other forums have gone offline for a while... and i thought this was a happy place ;) i work on the 'net, it's my job, it's not difficult to find this stuff out.... sorry. this sort of stuff doesn't happen too often, remember Trader's Voice ? a…

Hello everybody, My car has got to go in for a complete re-spray and basically I've had a few qoutes to do the work and I've got a question about the rear screen. Two garages have said that they will have to take the rear sceen seals off, so they get no masking tape lines. The third garage (Luke's Z centre) has said that the screen is bonded on and would be masked round. I am pretty sure that the Z centre know the score, but a previous garage who put my rear spoiler on masked around the rear screen and the lines were really noticable. Has anyone had the rear sprayed and what was the result. Cheers guys Vijay

I'm sure if you say what town you live in, someone will know a good garage, it's how I finally found someone decent. (cheers Steve) Vijay

hi what do all think about Contiental tyres for the Z. Thats the only ones I can get locally and I'm just a little bit on the wrong side of BALD! Cheers JW

Hi Bob, I recently enquired about having a Clifford Concept 600 fitted to me Z. Price was fixed for fitting until I mentioned that it already had an alarm on but I wasn't happy with it and I wanted to upgrade. They then started telling me that I could be looking at a shed load extra on top to strip out the old alarm, saying that it's a nightmare to trace the circuits for the old system. And that they'd had customers come back complaining of false alarms due to bit of the old alarm which had not been removed, reacting with the new one. Is this the case or are they just trying to sting you for extra cash? Tim ;-)

Having not read the posts from last night 'till this morning I have noticed something that strikes me as well...interesting to say the least! Check out the date that the profile was registered, me thinks that you guys are all being well and truly wound up to the limit. Don't rise to it, you're just feeding someones twisted mind and sense of humour which is what he/she wants us all to do. Later GeeZerZ Chill out Winston... Tim ;-)

..... or an extension to the 'contacts & Links' one. I've not been part of this forum long, but have already noticed many posts with good recommendations on where to take your Z. Is there any chance we can have a section that lists them all (with customer satisfaction rating)and their locations displayed on the map? I'm in the South West and can't find anyone down here willing to even get their hands dirty before they see a wad of cash. They take one look in the engine compartment and laugh wildly as the pound signs dance in front of their eyes. (places offering forum discount like in the 'wheel alignment' thread should definately be listed somewhere) Th…

are u still interested in thundersprint(southport)?

Is ther ANYBODY likes this guy??? Everytime he puts a post up he speaks from his chocolate starfish! I wish he worked at my local garage - I'de get my car fixed in five seconds every time I went - 'cos he OBVIOUSLY KNOWS EVERYTHING!!!!! He seems to forget that some people who own these cars don't know everything about everything and might need a bit of help every so often - it doesn't mean they're thick, they just don't have much knowledge about the 300zx - so what!!! Does anybody else feel the same about this guy or am I by myself??? Andy PS What car do you drive 3304 or are you too embarassed to say??? ;)

Mmmmmmm. You're obviously of very high intelligence, I mean I for one didn't know that oil was thicker at cold temps. Do you have any other pearls of wisdom to share with us or are you spending some time off recouperating from this brainstorming session. Also..whats a 200 driver putting posts on this site for? Haven't you got your own site? What next...Micra or Cherry drivers telling us that the earth is round?

Anyone else noticed erratic readings on their oil pressure gauge im told its a common fault on imports especially.

I had to strip and rebuild the engine last year and I also beleave quite a lot of you guys have too from the posts in the past. Is the engine quite a common fault to go wrong or are we all unlucky.
