Silvia engineering do a set of 4 pulleys (crank,power steering, alternator, water pump). Is this a better option than a single underdrive pulley from SGP? If they are all smaller/lighter is that better, or is the ratio between the pulleys the key to more power?

When I pull up to a junction the revs drop right down to almost stalling, the engine then idles normally. When I go to pull away the car hesitates for what seems like ages and then pulls away. When driving gently at approx 2000 revs the engine occasionally misfires? Has anyone got any ideas please?

my spies tell me some of you guys in here work for a software house now here's the plea. beg beg grovel grovel ive had delta force land warrior on order from the us for over a week now and no joy. if its poss i know you guys get the stuff long before us plebs do and if you can i'll gladly stump up the cash as if i dont get it soon the guys in the u.s are gonna be laughin at us when we finally get it

I know I asked this a little while back but my 300 is due for a service. I live in N.W London and NEED somewhere descent to get my car serviced...........anyone......please!!

I took everyones advice about not bothering with an n/a and I'm pretty close to making an offer on a a black '90 TT auto (Hallmarks, Thatcham, Berks.) Subject to RAC check. The car in question is as near perfect to my inexperienced eye as any ten year old car I've ever seen - it's showing 77000km. However, I've just been told the 1990 auto box is well dodgy. Should I leave well alone?

Is there a very loving 300zx buyer who would like to buy my baby. I have to sell her as I am expanding my business and frankly need the money to do it. She is a very clean 90' on a H plate, TT SWB Man. A fantastic drivers model. I realy don't want to sell it but I must look for the future. What is keeping me sain is my wifes comment "you could get 5 if it all works out!", and I hope she is right because I can't live wthout a Z for long. Conact me here or on 07092 388433 / 07740 933374 or e-mail paul.arundale@dial.pipex.com Cheers Paul

hehe the road warrior is back so beware cos the toole is out there. by the way is the le mans trip still on and if so can i have the dates so i can book the holidays

Has anyone got lightweight pulleys from unorthodox racing, or anywhere else come to mention it. If so are they any good and are they worth getting.

hi all, well i managed to find a car to have a affair with (don't tell the wife) and as of yet havn't found any problems.The car is a uk car manual TT on a 91 with fnsh and 87k. the zx really is the mutts nutts up untill now the only sports cars i'v had were porkys and lotus and the zx blows them both away!! Graig are you in the south of the uk?? if so do you ever organize any meets? also where can i get my hands on a owners manual. Pete

these are pictures of the t-shirts that Warren had made up. He only had a couple done, to get some reaction, and i'm sure he'll post prices and sizes once he reads this :) This one is being modelled by Warren himself. There is one of Hairsy modelling the same, but the t-shirt was a bit large and drowned him :) The front is the logo that Mark had done, in the colours as well. The back is a montage done by Warren, featuring shots of the '99 Z, and the key/keyring.

saw your post from yesterday..thats my dealer for all things 300 related - when I cant do it! if yours is there - then they have 2 coz mine is too! It got damaged 2 years ago in some roadworks and its just getting sorted after much arguing!!! Small world!

When I drive over a slight bump or a manhole cover at cruising speeds it feels like my car steps out to the side slightly, its obviousley worse if i am cornering at the time when it feels like the car might just spin out on me one day. Ive spoke to Johnny who suggests checking the rear track rod ends so I just want to check with the rest of you incase anyone else has any ideas. cheers Paul P.S. the suspension is stock..

I've spend quite a bit of money on my NA to make it feel just a little bit faster, but sofar I'm not impressed.. I've got a JWT-intake, JWT chip, Greddy PE exhaust and ASP underdrive-pulley. According to the guys in the US, NOS is the only way to make the NA feel a lot faster. But it only lasts for 10secs. and requires a lot (from your bankaccount and engine) So just save the cash for a TT ! Zya, Eric

no more listening to the engine, and hearing things that my mind tells me is big money bad news problems.... give me volume over paranoia any day... lol

Just curious here. IS there any way to get more HP out of my Non Turbo Z. Any adjustments I could make etc... John

...Wow! doesn't the cooler air make a difference? The engine was pulling with gusto up to the red line.No hesitation..much better acceleration! Even my NA felt like a Twin Turbo..maybe I'm biased..my wife has just given birth to our first baby!(a lovely baby Girl) At times like this a Z32 feels like the ideal mode of transport!(probably won't in a few weeks though) JEZ300Z

My car fires immediately I turn the ignition key but then "floods". untill a few weeks ago it would eventually start after about 10 minutes of cranking but now it won't start at all. Anyone gots any idea's what is wrong?

Well I've finally got round to changing my brakes, but I cant remove my old disc's. They seem well and truly stuck, I've tried a rubber hammer, a metal hammer, swear words but to no avail. Any tips and hints would be great as I will try again tomorrow. Later, Trev

just been given a quote for a set of brand new 911 turbo (pre 1995) discs and calipers for a grand sum of 500 quid, 330 mm all round wiht six pot calipers on the front not a bad price what do you guys think

Any body know where I can get chrome console inlays for my Z, in the UK? LIke this one below: John R

Any of you techie types know whether this "green" low sulphur petrol that is gonna be 2p cheaper than normal unleaded will be ok in our beloved Z's?? Of course, if I wanted to save 2p per litre, I could just stop using super unleaded ;-) Just curious. Andy

Has anyone got one of those short throw gearstick conversions that SE advertise. I remember having them on escorts/capris years ago and they were very good. Just wondering what there like on a Z. Paul

first smoke then a little water and now a swimming pool of anti freeze in both floor wells tonight on the way home. super johnny is gonna be my saviour tomorrow hopefully long live gps lol
