Hi everyone, in as much as I haven't been a frequent contributor to this forum (I've limited myself to reading it every other day for a few months now), I'm not new to the Z world since I've been on TT.NET for over a year now. I own a 90 pearl white on tan NA for a little over a year also and I live in Poland. My name is Maciek (fonetically Machek). I'd like to present to you my offer of a new, interesting (hopefully) product for your Z. I'm selling sets of black, genuine, glove quality leather shifter and emergency brake boots for the 90+ Nissan 300ZX (Z32). These will fit both left and right hand drive versions. Great for your own Z and a great present fo…

Hi guys, especialy Bob! I need a manual asap, I've had Z for 4 months now, ok, HPI 100% mechanics report 100% but many niggles are there still any CD manuals left @ a few £(7.50) or do I smile & sign a cheque for £117.50 inc vat to my local Nissan dealer in Wolverton MK.Cars a 90 uk full spec TT, bod 100,000M lump gear box, Tubs & bits only 18,000M but the Steve'e Wonder who rebuilt it in september 88 (I have since been to the garage)!!!, missed so many bits its hopeless to name them. But mechanics previous report would not have seen them. As in previous boardings you can see what I do for a living, so if any of you geezers bust, or need a mod doing on any me…

a few weeks ago, Hairsy posted some details and prices about the Le Mans trip that he was planning. Le Mans details at last ... 16/12/00 This was in response to the large amount of interest generated when it was first mentioned a while before that. Le Mans 2001 17/09/00 I don't remember seeing anywhere near as many replies to the confirmation and booking post as the initial interest post... Is this because everyone that is going has emailed him directly ? Or what ? I appreciate that it is 6 months away, but this type of thing needs planning and booking, and Hairsy is trying to do us all a favour. Is anyone other than Hairsy and myself prepared to…

hi guys, short notice again, but it's all that's available and affordable at the moment... 8pm on either tues 9th, wed 10th or thur 11th (NEXT WEEK !!!) The rest of Jan is booked up. 2 hour session, same format as last time, at same place, Playscape in Streatham. I have to book and pay deposit ASAP, so let's get moving hey ? If i book now, i can get a special deal on the price. (VAT inc instead of exc) cost is £700 for 20 drivers. so £35 each, or £35+vat at worst (£41.13) There is not really enough time to collect money off you guys toward the deposit like last time, so i am hoping that if you confirm a place, you will honour the cost whe…

Does anyone know how to put the Hicas into diagnostic mode? I have tried the test on ttnet but can't get it to do anything. Should you be visibly able to see the wheels turn when stationary?

IT was bound to happen - some sod swiped my car the other night and drove off without saying anything....I was at a friends so had no idea until I came out....I reported it but theres not much chance of getting them. Luckily its in the same place of some other damage my employer has to cough up for so I'm hoping Middlehurst can come good (again!). If you see a red car with a dent in its front left then let me know!!!!

i never thought i would ever post a message about headlamp bulbs.... ;) one of my headlamp bulbs blew tonight, at exactly the same time as the fuse in my amp power lead blew, a 30A one at that !! WTF is going on there then ? luckily i have a spare bulb, as they are easy to get for UK spec... LOL (sorry you import guys)

Best deal I managed on tyres was from a place called Headley Tyres who are between Basingstoke & Reading. Price for 245/40Z18 front and 265/35Z18 rear Pirelli PZeros was £641. This was much cheaper than any other quote I had and they had the tyres in stock. It was a bit of a trek for me but well worth it. They also stock SO2s although they didn't have the rears in - and with snow promised the next day and a drive to the New Forest planned, I couldn't afford to wait and stay on slicks any longer. Their phone number is 01635 268384. Dave

Theres a 300 with an Impul bodykit in the latest Japanese performance mag. I like the rear spoiler but I cant seem to find details of Impul anywhere. Has anyone got any info Paul.

Seasons Greetings. does anybody know about the colour coding for the speakers front/rear left/right later Pete

in eighteen years of driving i've never had a day of driving like today in the snow it was the most scariest and best drive in to work ever. three times doing a full 360 on the lancs and a man in a saab behind me thought his and my end had come lol. the beast is now the snow beast i'm still gettin over it but i hope it snows today as well

Morning all ... Have posted a copy of the 300zx workshop manual on a website for your perusal: http://300zx.proweb.net Unfortunatly, it's still in pdf format and some of the files are rather large (> 22meg) so will look into exporting it to html if there's enough interest. Thanks to Bob for the original copy. Xmas cheers Rich (Nottingham) P.S. Yippie It's snowing ... I need an empty carpark now !!

...Where's the best place to get a replacement,and how much should I pay? The Z32 engine seems to need a lot of juice to get going on these cold/damp mornings...and not using the car over Xmas seems to finally have taken it's toll. JEZ300Z

What's the best/cheapest/quickest place to get replacement headlamp bulbs for a Jap. spec. TT? I think the part number is 9006? Also, anyone know the correct spark plug gap? Ta!

For the third bloody time ... I've just finished stripping down and rebuilding the drivers side seat belt, they are crap... the first time coincided with up rating and amp'ing the front speakers, I suspect causing a small nylon cog to spontaneously explode in the mechanism of both the drivers and passengers belts, luckily I had a couple of spare units from the scrappy... and to think I used to rate Seiko (the manufacturer of said units). Festive cheers & cold feet Rich - Nottingham

I might have just been the cold but my Hicas light came on this morning for a minute, is there any where to lubricate or is it sealed. (I had to use my Z for work as the 18 month old Fiat didn't want to start). Thanks John

Oh my god, I'm sober and without hangover .. christmas must be over ... personally I can't wait to get back to work .... bar humbug.... On to more interesting things: I read an article somewhere about the car smelling of fuel just after startup from cold and can't find the article again which is unfortunate as mine 91TT has started to do just that. I've also noticed increased fuel consumption (250 mp/tank down to 200 mp/tank) and whilst my local fuelier now greats me with excessive glee, my bank manager's threatening to remove my left testicle.... so any assistance greatly appreciated. Having been away (from the forum) for a while, Nico, hows your turbo's ? …
