Hi all, have been on PB web site many times just recently I get this: - Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.9 Server at www.paulbailey.com Port 80 Anyone know whats going on? Is PB still there. Ta Eddie ;-)

so i get the bill for my car in italy and it is almost double what they said it would be, and here is why. they rebuilt my gearbox, steering column, put new seals and bushes where required and changed all sorts of other things on my car that needed replacing. i find this quite amusing as i never asked to have it done. now at least it is all like new, but at a price twice what i was qwuoted. must be the first nissan store on record that fixes things that were not to be fixed (basically under there own initiative) sorry for rambeling on.

I did something a bit stupid last week! I decided to peel off the 'Fairlady' sticker on the back of my Z. Unfortunately I managed to peel up some of the black rubbery material under it with my thumbnail (I didn't think it was spongy)! I've stuck the flap of black material back down (it's only about 1cm square) but it looks a bit crappy now. I would like to take the Nissan sticker off and get a new one to stick over the scuff mark I've made. Does anyone know where I get a new sticker from? I wish I'd just let the Fairlady stick on now! Cheers, Andy

i am looking at selling my dbs as i wish to swop it for the new one blitz has, it is as new and the only thing used is the actuall face unit, the rest will be new. asking 250 squid, they sell new for 380.00

for all those with decent bandwith, download the clip of the 1000bhp skyline, and see how fast that is.

come on guys, don't make it difficult for me... Sun 2nd Sept - TRAX2001 - Silverstone ;)

Hi Johnny. Thanks for sending me your new GPS catalogue. It looks great, I'll certainly be back in touch with you on any future purchases for my ZED. Cheers M8 Simon H

Here goes - we've all heard this one before... Tonight I have cleaned all the connectors throttle bodies etc to try and solve the old Z problem of hesitation. The car now idles nice and smooth but sometimes it accelerates slower than a Metro!!! I am worried it could be the Airflow meter - does this need adjusting after fitting an aftermarket air filter??? Any help much appreciated before I start throwing money I haven't got at it!!! PS If your car does have a rough idle - clean the throttle bodies out - it works a treat!!!

Somehow they opened the driver door (must have used this bar thingy because the keylock is non operational - I disconnected it a year ago and only used the alarm remote). They tried to start it and screwed up the ignition. Stuck a key breaker in obviously. The key will not go in anymore (not all the way, almost - sometimes it even will) and it won't turn whatsoever. I had the car towed to safety and now I'm thinking I'll remove the ignition, take it to a shop to fix it and put it back in. Is it possible to remove the ignition as a DYI, how hard is it, any special tools? What other options do I have? I was told I can have a special key made which is ver…

I live in Horsham, West Sussex, where do the rest of you guys live, not trying to get your addresses and all but just curious especially with these meets and stuff.

This could be a good one for a northern lads meet. Paul

Hello again Now I am a twat for asking this but I guess we have all been there. I have a Jap manual and have no idea on exact tyre pressures, I have the original Z 16" wheels 225/50/r16's, any ideas ?

Has anyone had experience of fitting a turbo timer (e.g.HKS) with a Cat 1 alarm/ Cat 2 immobiliser. From what I understand part of the Thatcham certification states that the immobiliser must kick in within so many seconds. If you have a timer leaving the engine running for xyz seconds will it prevent the immobiliser working or invalidate the certification?

One for the techies. While I was sorting some minor surface rust on the edge of the rear offside wing I removed the wheel to make spraying easier. Having a nose around and being impressed by the oil cooler on the diff ( and congrartulating myself again on choice of car etc etc) To my horror found the hose to one side of the cooler completely loose! Having had the car since Nov last year I think its been loose for some time as it's bone dry on the hose end and on the nipple on the oil cooler. Currently there is no noise from the diff so I assume there is still oil in it (I hope) I know from earlier post that the motor is conditioned by temp of oil I thin…

Import Solutions now have a web site www.importsolutions.co.uk although very young and hasnt been fully updated (quite obviously) it could be one to watch considering I got my imported Jap bulb that I couldnt find anywhere else for £22.66 including VAT and wait for it, next day delivery, I was quite impressed, they knew their stuff when I spoke to them too.

anybody know how much oil my 1990TT jap import needs ? changing oil and filter this afternoon and thought I would ask rather than adding a bit than checking ..etc thanks..

I have made the (momentous) decision to convert from auto to manual. After having an auto for 3 years and gradually upgrading engine & suspension i now reckon the time has come to convert because the manual surely offers that much more control, involvement and power. What's the opinion on the forum? Am I the first in the UK? If you have dunnit, are you pleased you did? P.S. See my auto box in the sale/wanted forum.

Should be available off my car (90 Jap TT) soon once I convert to a manual. The auto is in full working condition. Reconditioned by SE last summer, and still under warranty. Also had small performamnce upgrade. Only about 4k miles since. You can recon your own box for £1200 plus removal/installation. Total bill somewhere round £1500. Or you can have mine ready to fit for £850. Anders test drove this box a few months back, so he can verify it's a good'un.

At slow speed (less than 5mph) I get very loud brake squeal when I apply brakes which is a PIA in traffic queues etc. I have brembos off a skyline with Ferodo 2000 pads. Is there any solution. i remember someone suggesting copper grease behind the pads?

Need replacement factory style spoiler for my UK spec TT (the original has rotted along the lower lip). Thx, -Andrew

Hi Is it customary to put up a picture of my ZX on the rides board, if so and if OK, how do I do this ? Dan

Hi All I have a number that managed to get me a new bulb and were very quick, they seemed to have lots of other parts too, they sent it through Business Post for next day delivery, quite impressed, mind you, paying £23 for a bulb seems a tad excessive but there you go !! It is Import Solutions on 01934 417222 Dan

Do any of you guys know where there might be some specialists that can deal with Z's near me in West Sussex ? After taking it to local tyre merchants etc and getting the general (If you leave it with us then come back we will have it done by then remark) and putting the wind up me, I would like to find a more enthusiastic type centre or garage that will know what they are doing ?? Any ideas ? Dan p.s. When and where do you guys next meet ?

: this guy ran a 13 second 1/4 mile and forgot to stop at the end of the circuit, lol only a person who likes the colour white on a z would do this
