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

his new vid, Burning Rubber is not bad. Should be called 'Teach yourself Joyriding in a day' though... ;)

don't all answer at once :) rofl

this morning on the way in to work my beast decided to pour smoke into the car at which point i shat myself. i pulled over and whipped the bonnet open to have a look and couldnt see any smoke anywhere so off i went again sure enough more smoke although no burning smell it stopped but i am no way gonna leave it at that any thoughts peeps air con perhaps

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!!
