Switched everything off (I'm in IT)and tried again all ok. Worked ok and then happened again is there a relay in the circuit? Any ideas please!

I remember reading posts where people said it was bad to let a car warm up and idle while stationary. The problem I have is my Z is not on the road yet and won't be before this winter. I had bad condensation last year and want to be able to get the heaters going inside the car but obviously have to let the engine run. What damage does it do if left to idle? Thanks Vijay

After the dramas I've had recently with the rocker gaskets leaking and rear brake lines corroding I thought I had had my fair share of bad luck......... But no!:headvswal:headvswal My camp flooded at the weekend due to some nugget not opening the flood gates like he's supposed to my Zed is now rather soggy, no hang on its piss wet through.

I am really interested to know how many of us use our cars extensively. As I run my own business, I use mine nearly every day and mostly longer trips. It's a great talking point and people rarely know what it is. In the last 13 months I have clocked up over 14,000 miles and that includes 6 weeks off the road waiting for the heater matrix to be replaced... What sort of mileage are you all doing?

what is the best fuel type in your view for the 300zx tt ?

A couple of pics below taken whilst doing a cambelt change, the water pump is removed and you can see into the water ways, the left hand one has a line of casting flash from when the engine was produced which could potential effect water flow rate. Not a major issue in the real world but this was a very late model and something you see less of on the earlier models, maybe cost cutting as the model came to the end of production? Jeff TT

Two questions really lol,can anyone shed some light on whether the nissan 300c(cedric) gearbox is the same as the z31 300zx gearbox,or simply will the 'box from that old v6 fit the z32 v6 motor?Just Ive been offered a cheap deal on one of these old boxes for my z32

I've got the silicon tube pack from the Zcentre, I know it can't be used for petrol or oil but can I use it for the plenum water bypass? Or do I need some coolant hose? Cheers Dave

obviously zeds are fairly quick not the quickest but pretty dang quick and alot of people seem a little surprised by how quickly you loom on them and the shiny new 2 seater "sports car" so out of interest who has out run what. and what is your zed running bhp...auto/manual etc

Having replaced my IC's for larger ones I'm having trouble tracking down a smaller water bottle that has 2 outlets, front & rear. Scoured google et al and can only find either custom bottles with 1 outlet or pumps with 2 outlets. Anyone know of a supplier?

I have some UK door cards and getting some UK seat belts, i have a jap with the belts on the door. This subject has come about a few times, but i know a few have done it. I realise the holes are there but with no thread, so the top hole, which is the trickiest as there is no room behind the pillar, is the bone of contention. Is it best to weld a plate with the captive nut or is there not enough metal for strength? Anyone got any pics of their UK B pillar to have a look. Cheers Graham
