Hi, Where can I get spare parts from a 300zx that is breaking for spares ? Specifically, I need the dashboard time clock and the T-Top roof blinds. Any contact details appreciated. Thanks.

Advice please On my 90tt I have developed a noisy cam follower that is intermitent maybe 30% of the time ! Anyone have (or had) similar if so is there an additive I can add to the oil to sort it ? if so which ? I do not want to put anything in unless its going to help as I really do not want to hide a problem if there is one there!! Thanks paulr

What is the point of an audible sound that your pads are low which only sounds at 100mph and cant be heard if ICE is booming. Can it be changed?

I'm looking to get the front of my car re-sprayed (everything forward of the windscreen, including side wings) due to numerous stone chips and some old lady running into one wing with a shopping trolley and leaving a load of nasty scrapes. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you could recommend any good body shops in or around London to do the work. I'm in North London but I don't mind travelling a bit. Cheers, Andy

The ABS warning light on my dashboard has come on today....has anyone any ideas where I need to look to find out what the problem is?

Luke from the Z centre, does a bonnet with a raised bulge with vents. Has anyone seen one and if so what are they like?

Two little kids toddled past as I was washing the car, barely old enough to wipe their own butts and one of them says "Oh look there's a Fairlady"...How did he know? Must be far too much time spent on Gran Turismo if you ask me. Paul

What's the score with short throw gearsticks? Is there any point??

Speaking on behalf of ALL Traders YES EVEN SE !! When you guys have finished bitching about who is shite and giving some companys a unjustified reputation, Who are you going to have to work on your cars ? Whispers in the trade tell us that several retail outlets are getting pissed off with some people especialy when the incidence that are refered have never been refered back the the person or company concerned. Never mind not telling the full story about what has actuallt happened. The forum is slowly getting a tarnished image in some areas which is a great pity because it is, when used in the correct manner, an excellent forum. One word to remind yourselves all off be…

Today I had a general health check on my newly aquired Jap Z. It passed with flying colours. ;) The dyno resulted in 230BHP at the wheels. Is this figure similar to what other people have had? The guy at the garage reckoned that you loose roughly 30% power in the transmission, what do you reckon? My Z is an auto (1990) and is decatted with an Apexi super megaphone exhaust.

Guys, please give me a call as I need to speak to you. Tits Up Johnny Boy.

Hey everyone, as many of you know I sell genuine, glove quality leather shifter and ebrake boots. I'm very close to reaching the 100th customer. Won't tell you how close, but VERY close. Countable with one palm's fingers! The 100th customer gets his/her boots 100% FREE!!! As soon as that is reached, I'll put a post up on this venue stating who the lucky person is. Here's how it works: you order a set of genuine leather boots from me (read on to find out how) and if you get to be the lucky customer #100, you will get a 100% reimbursement along with your boots! And, should you not win, you will still have a set of those awesome leather boots. Here's more…

For those posting in the new forums, can you PLEASE indicate when you had the experience so that readers can assess the likelihood that things could have changed. Personally I'm nervous about the whole thing in that I've had good experiences at places which I've later found to be terrible and bad experiences at places I know are in general great. Please just remember that you can get a great mechanic at an otherwise crap garage and vice-versa ... Dave

Where is the best place to order K&N Stillen Induction Cleaning/Re-oiling Kit and what is best price???

Guys you'll probably think I'm nuts!! Got my z'd import about 2 months ago (91 TT 2+2). Everything is standard bar suspension. It's been lowered, stiffened and has sports shocks, oh and not forgeting 17inch alloys. The problem is the ride, its too harsh for everyday use, great for the circuit and loads of fun. However, there is no body role at all, I feel every damn crack in the road and its begining to annoy me. I've managed to find a company whos got a Zed their breaking and I've already bought the stock suspension. Any recomendations as to who I should get to fit it??? Has to be in or near London. I have a local garage in mind, but their not Z…

just a reminder that this is likely to be the next meet date and venue i'm just trying to keep it current in everyone's head so they dont arrange to do something else.... ;) it's kind of central, i think it's a rwyb day, and should be a laugh some of you southerners/londoners might want to keep the night before free as well for a little birthday bash at my place, i'll keep you posted....

Anybody know why Nissan chose to use the handbrake circuit to switch the rear shocks into sport mode? I thought US Zs had a sport mode switch somewhere.

Okay peeps, there are two new forums for us to use. When you use them, please bear in mind what you are saying. They are currently unmoderated, but if things get out of hand, Nico and i might have to change that, and validate every post. Believe me, i DO NOT want to do this, as i have a more than full time job already.... Failing that, they might disappear ! If you can present the facts of your bad experiences, then others can make their minds up for themselves. I know we all like to rant about things, especially when something has only just happened, but just be sensible, please. I'm sure all good and bad will even themselves out even…
