Hayup, Saw a UK spec 300 in Daybrook, Nottingham, just wondered if it was you Nico ? Rich

Hi Guys, my gear box seems to becoming increasingly more difficult to select a gear. Theres no crunching of gears,just the stick is real hard to push in to the gate. 1st and 2nd are the worst more so at start up and as the car gets warmer the prob seems to ease up. The clutch is defo on its way out. Are the two related ? cheers Pete

I seem to have lost the 300zx home page. Im getting the forum's ok but no front page only a error message. Any idears? i can't get the online 300zx manual anymore either.

....Has anyone managed to fit a baby/child seat into the rear of a Jap spec. car? The rear belts are only lap belts!..Could I perhaps convert them to UK spec? JEZ300Z

Can anyone get me Blinds for the T-Tops a lot less than Nissan charges? Ta Eddie ;-)

I cannot inflate the rear tyres, I have (I think) Lamborghini wheels fitted (or similar) fronts inflate ok..rear valves will not open...tried valve extenders, taken to "tyre specialist" they said contact Lamborghini direct, they could not remove the valve inner (they did try).... Any suggestions most welcome...

Can anyone possibly lay there hands on a copy of City Slikers 2 Search for Curleys Gold. I just want to watch it again. CheerZ Johnny

Is there a facility where you can show a counter for the number of times the forum is accessed as opposed to the number of postings? Maybe put a counter somewhere to show how popular the forum is getting? Steve

Has anybody, or does anybody know how to modify the windscreen wiper control system such that it will perform a single sweep ? Intermittent is OK, but sometimes a single sweep is all that is required. Using the washers creates several sweeps, the last of which is always unnecessary. I guess it's closely linked but it always annoys me that it does a final sweep when you turn them off too - if I turn something off I expect it to go off, not prove to me that it still works ! Fixing this would likely solve the problem.

Anyone have any contacts for decent replacement hardware, namely Bolts, Most of my usuall suppliers seem to be on the ball with washers, nuts and Hose clamps but the lack of bolts is concern, im looking for mid to large sizes,mainly for this such as Drive Line and Exhaust Bolts as well as some from the Down pipes and manifolds. Recommendations ? Cheers Z ya Nico91TT

Warren When did you say your car was coming back? Is there a number I can call you on? Email over to me :-) Steve

..the gear knob on my car was butchered by a previous owner, so I am looking for either a new one, or a good condition second hand one. Has anyone out there any ideas? JEZ300Z

Scanned pubs map, too confusing - and I live in MK (well one of us has to!) So its much more eye friendly if you go to www.streetmap.co.uk and put in post code mk7 8hp this will give anyone in the uk the exact location. Pan out and follow the arrow, it even shows a windmill!, print off all that you need. WARNING: Those of you that don't carry a radar scan etc, Area leading to MK is fearse! Aylesbury, 8 Gatsos. A41 2, Buckingham 2, Leighton Buzzard 4, M1 to MK 1, A5 2 hidden behind sighns. A pointless !!! journey is a wallet and insurance friendly journey. MK has none that I know off ! ! ! Be carefull the most flashes buys the beer! Any more info needed! Jus…

...which are the best pads for the stock brake setup?(my car's an NA, so I don't need to upgrade the discs)

I would just like to say thanks to Pete R for putting himself into the firing line like he has. I'm not trying to take sides or anything like that in any of the ongoing debates that may be going on, i just want to show my respect for what he has done. To come on here and openly ask for criticism, as well as feedback, on his company, service and staff was a brave thing to do. Personally, i hope he becomes a more regular poster, and would welcome the occasional Tech Tip ;) Craig

Anyone who want to upgrade to a bigger ball bearing type turbo made by HKS and capable of producing over 600hp but still being perfectly usable for normal driving.... There could be a place in the GB available if you want to jump in now. Email me for specs and further details. Serious enquiries only please. Steve

Nico. Please contact me ASAP. Ref: Steve.E upgrades. Steve will try to get hold of Jez, but if you can please ask him to speak to either Steve or myself. CheerZ Johnny @ Grasshopper 01942-671239

As the general forum is getting a higher and higher turnover, some of the upcoming events and sale/purchase requests are getting lost down the list. So, we are creating a couple more forums for us to use. For Sale and Wanted - does this really need explaining how it works ? ;0 Events - This is to advertise upcoming events, give information about them, and for people to show interest in attending. I will fill in as much info as possible when i start them off later. Craig

I have been searching insurance from various places and my best quote was £820.00, Not bad for the 300TT I want (which i'm off to view in a bit). Just for information, I'm 27, 4 years NCB and live in a 'good' area (according to the insurance people) Is this a good quote? What do you guy's pay? (and who with) Thanks Matty.

At last, just got word that the GT2530 turbo's in the tt.net GB are on route. Might have them fitted just in time for the dyno tun.... whenever that is! Steve

Whilst changing the waterpump cause of a leak, more disapointment, I have discovered that the bearings have gone in the alternator and also the power steering pump. Also I can pull the front of the power steering pump out so fluid leaks every where is this normal? Has anyone got either parts in working order for sale. It is a jap car so I think the alternator is different size to UK, is this correct?
