Tony 260Z

You can buy adaptors on ebay to fit bigger front and back speakers.

BF2142: processor hungry and futuristic. Multiplayer fun but a bit of an unknown quantity so not enough teamwork developed. I'd wait for decent mods. Battlefield 2 - Very good but the Commander mode spoils it. Find a server with this disabled and you'll enjoy it more. Missile lock-on takes away a lot of the dogfight skills from DC Final. BF1942 - DC Final Mod: Still IMHO the best if you want planes/tanks etc but decreasing in popularity. Far Cry - Looks fab, good AI, few servers, no teamwork. Half Life 2 Deathmatch - great fun and looks lovely but no vehicles. TDM OK but game favours individual scrapping. Team Fortress Classic - Get back into it to practice before TF2 comes out! Still good for teamwork. Looks dated. Counterstrike - Fab, popular and a great test of reflex and tactics. Looks dated though. UT2007 - Not out yet but it's going to be another glorious looking blast-fest. Teamwork unknown. UT2004 - Reinstall it to practice in time for UT2007. Some mods favour teamwork, others don't. Call of Duty - Good, but never really appealed to me. Hope this helps!

You know what? 90% of the British public would agree with you, but the majority of them would still vote the current government back in and perpetuate the problem!

Hmmm... why do I feel like after taking four years to fettle my 260 this all sounds so horribly familiar! I'll check the bulbs. It has happened after putting in the crystal lenses and silver bulbs so that may be part of the problem. Water bypass.... and that is?

TALCUM POWDER??????? Well I never heard of that before!!!

Cheers - I'd better invest in "stop squeak" then!

Thanks W1NG, any idea where the loose connection could be? Having a 260Z as my weekend toy I opened the bonnet on the Z32, took one look and thought "Oh blimey".... It seems to be all or nothing with the indicators. It isn't just one that doesn't blink, it's the whole blinkin' lot of 'em!

I've got the same problem. Usually happens when the alternator's under load - rear demist, aircon, blower etc etc but at least it doesn't last long. Will a squirt of WD40 onto the belt cure it?

Hmmm..well, it worked for a day and then didn't work. It's strange, it seems that sometimes when I start the car they work, and keep on working, but other times they won't work (blink) no matter what I do. It's almost as if the car makes its mind up when I switch the ignition on... "Shall I have indicators today? Nah... let's not *&%$£*& bother!!" Relay? If so, where is it and how much will it cost to replace?

Well I'll be damned.. I'll try it in the morning - thanks!

Folks, I've just swapped my stock indicators for crystal clear jobbies and the wing repeaters for clear ones too. When I did this I put in silvertec bulbs as well 'cos I didn't want my lights to look like fried eggs. Problem is, about 80% of the time when I indicate the bulbs just light up but don't flash. If it's the indicator flasher unit, where do I find it? Help! Cheers, Tony

My 260Z photofinished against Jeremy Clarkson's 350Z in his "Hot Metal" DVD drag-race :-)

Thanks, I was guessing something like that. Not that I know what all the bits are yet :-) (There's a lot more under my 300 than there is under my 260Z!)

Folks, I have a knock sound when going over bumps - particularly speed ramps. It doesn't do it every time, and if I go over a speed ramp with my wheels at an angle (ie I turn at the last moment) then it usually won't do it. It sounds fairly solid and like it's coming from the front drivers side suspension. Any ideas? I haven't had the car long so don't really know what I'm looking for. TIA, Tony

Will do :-)

Thanks lads. I've tried that already and found a key (????!!!) but it still won't go back far enough. I'll have another look. Is there any kind of regulator or something?

Folks, My drivers seat won't go all the way back! :rant: There must be some sort of stopper because the motor winds the seat backwards and forwards just fine, but I reckon it could (should) go back another two or three inches at least. How can I adjust it? Thanks, T

Steve, I look forward to seeing you! And the car of course :-)

Got up early to take pics :-) Needs a polish, but not bad.

Thanks again to all for friendly welcome. First job will be to fit a stereo as there's an empty hole in the dash where it should be. I thought this would be a simple job until I read about the Bose system!!! Still, I've had a Z for a few years - I should have leart to expect surprises by now!

Thanks John, I think I can make that (better check with 'er indoors that nothing's booked anywhere else!). Unlikely I can get there before 8pm though unfortunately. There's a South East & Kent Z club meet on Sunday (12pm Halfway House on the A127 Essex - all welcome!) and I find myself torn between which car I want to take there!!!

Right... DSL working... bl**dy BT.... Pics of 260Z attached... * Obligatory quarter view * Goodwood trackday * Performance Japs Mag rolling road day Only had my Z32 for two days so no pics (in daylight) yet! Tony

Well, I would have posted pics if my f*&$£@# BT Broadband had been working... Try again tonight!

Folks, I'll dig some pics out when I get home. Thanks for the warm welcome! (no bro' called Mike though!)

I've just bought my Z32 and the steering wheel is pretty knocked about. It's worn and scratched and a bit scabby. Where's the best place to get a replacement, and how much should I look to spend including any necessary adaptor boss? I've seen some on Ebay - are they any good? Cheers, T.
