I have had an aweful journey between Purley and Epsom tonight. I am not sure if I was publicised on the traffic news, as I ended up causing mayhem at a junction in Woodcote and subsequently a junction in Carshalton when I tried a "safer" way. My 300ZX TT import may be quite famous now (or infamous)? Anyhow, does anybody have an insight into what could be my problem? The car had a full-service and cam-belt change 3 weeks ago, and has been running fine daily. Then tonight, after a couple of miles and getting hot (although no adverse signs on the gauges) I cannot pull above 2000 revs, then 1500, then nothing. Allow the engine to cool for 1/2 hour, and then you can …

Is it alright to use 4* in a 300 which has got the cats removed or is super unleaded better.

Does anyone know if the 300 has a switch to cut the engine out if it gets too hot? I was driving along and had run out of coolant, the temperature guage went right up and the engine died and would not start for 20 mins. I am trying to find out if the temperature and the cut out are connected? It's good fun this "Z" ownership!!

Dont forget, Bookspeed sell the 1990 book Nissan 300zx - The Enthusiast's Companion (hardback with 112 pages - 115 illustrations) for £5.99 plus p+p. Their number is 0208 994 7054. It makes a good pressy and interesting reading - especially if you are undecided between TT and na. And NO, I dont have shares in Bookspeed. Merry Christmas Jack

Well last night some dick head decided he didn't like my car and hurled a pint glass at it which went straight through the drivers side T top. Fortunately the police picked the guy up and charged him. Does anyone know where I could get a second hand T top from?

Hi, Need a little help here. Did you notice how far the passenger butterfly closes with respect to the small hole on the bottom of the TB? Does it close past that hole or not? (This hole leads to a nipple under the TB.) I've messed with the screw adjusting the resting position of the butterfly and now I don't know how it was adjusted from the beginning. This is not described in the manual. I'd be grateful for any tips. Maciej
