Cheers mateys, guess i know what to do now... just bite the bullet and fone the bank manager again!

Help! I just been quoted >£500 for replacement brake lines and the price is high because the rear axle has to be dropped! Does anyone know a way around this without compromising safety or any body who can do the job in or near Leeds? The car also failed on rusted rear sills, am thinking of buying a wire arc welder from ebay for this but is there anywhere I can get replacement pre shaped panels from - I know ZCenter used to sell them but hes stopped now due to a greedy manufacturer?? Any help really appreiciated. PeteH

Yeah thats me, white K300 Uk Auto TT - Alright Rubble how you doing, hows the motor? RJG must of spotted me on one of my many routes to work and Lock Lane is my local shopping run for cigs! I must be wearing blinkers or something cos I cant remember the last time I seen a 300zx except Rubbles at Peckfield farm!

Hi yeah that was me! White 93 on a K - UK TT ;) Was on my last mile home from Liverpool.. Sorry I didnt see you tho - was a long hard drive back!

I thank everyone who has replied here and would add that I know about the dynamics placed on the suspension components to the point of being able to give a science lecture and that its been proven without doubt there is no real benifit to anybody or the planet in using speed bumps on the highways, I have a clean driving licence and my car was upgraded by Zedcenter in Tamworth a year ago and he said my car was one of the best hed worked on in a long time! I also understand that with the car being made in 93 that it is seen as an old car but what if it had spent most of its life luxuriating in money and warmth as it has been and still continues to this day in my garage, its an original UK car that i spent 12 months looking for, its never been ragged (by me) and is still in concourse condition, right down to the very last detail! I am now looking at paying out about £1000 for damage that I have no choice in paying and my gripe is that if I had a choice of decent roads to drive on I reckon this day would never have come about in the first place, I treat my car like my house, I am allways cleaning it, checking for paint damage, I make sure that I park it in safe places and I even (sad to say) know every pothole and speed bump on all my routes into and out of the places I regulary drive to. my only option now is to buy a banger with my paltry wage and take the 300 off the road for now till I can afford to repair her damaged parts, well gutted and pi$$ed off! I know the government will allways win but ive had enough of this country targeting the motorist and I just feel the need to do something now.. Sorry about the rant - am having a bad night! thanks for listening..

Has any peeps here know anybody sucsessfull in claiming compensation from their local council for damaged suspension to their cars? In the space of 6 months - or less, both my rear shocks are gone, my front NS link arm is creaking like mad and just today my front OS wheel has developed a noise equal to the revolution of the wheel, noticed straight after rolling off a monster one near my home - it now feel like i have square wheels! I am totally seething with red mist now and I am 100% going to persue this even if it costs me more money to do so, any advice from anyone having been down this (bumpy) road please let me know... Thanks in advance all PeteH - White 93 UK 300TT Auto

Hi guys, any chance you can amend the database to allow me to use the forum again please, am stuck with multiple problems on my car now after half the winter has passed, i could really do with some answers.. Cheers

Yeah it is an auto, now your scareing me!

Thankx Nick, I had the car fitted out with SS Mongoose, K&N and ecu remapped by Jeff at Zedworld about a year ago and he said it was one of the best 300's hed seen in a long time, I think the power is between 350 and 380bhp - 6months back I fitted a Koyo rad and an extra oil cooler up front and in the last 12months I have had the oil changed every 3k and gone over it every weekend looking for loose connectors ect - its been an amazing car up till now :hurl: I know when shes running well she should pull a quarter mile in about 12secs or less, 0 - 60 in under 5. The last porsche that tried it on gave up around 160 lol although i dont do that very often!

Yesterday I started to notice a change with the engines response time relating to the change from normal driving to full throttle - it felt like the engine was holding back and then i noticed what felt like a mild missfire or rumble with the pedal on the floor, I was going about 40mph at the time and during this the car only managed to get to about 60mph - deffo not normal. 5 miles down the road and I tried it again - this time all was ok and the car pulled nicely with tonnes of power and turbo spooling. could this be a coil pack related problem or something more nasty?? I havnt a clue where to start looking and best of I have a new job to start on Monday! (Usually the way!) Cheers PeteH

Alex300 - am in leeds too, give me a shout and lets see if we can get together sometime to sort our cars out! Leave me your contact details if interested..

Ive got the same problem - Idle fluctuates between 800 and almost 2000 no matter how hot the engine is or how hard i push it, seems to be random and its drinking all my fuel! Please help Alex300 (and me)!

Right then case closed on this one i think, thanks fellas, appreciate that well fast response! PeteH

Just fitted a koyo rad and mocal oil cooler but have no idea what gearbox oil to buy, the oil in the system is currently a dark brown and the ATF fluid i have in the cupboard is red! Anyone have an idea out there? Cheers PeteH

Looking for a rad for my 2+2 UK TT auto, mines just started leaking from a pin hole somewhere on bottom left passenger side, aint got the time to start soldering with thick solder lead so need either a known working replacement or an upgrade one with the external oil cooler.. Can anybody help - West Yorkshire :hurl:
