300ZX vs 3000GTO which is best?
the thing i also notice about the gto is that there all the same, no individual styling, there pretty much kitted from factory and your stuck with the look, with the zed its style to your wallets content

Blowing Hot Air!!!!!
this can also happen if your ambient temp sensor is dodgy, sometimes mine reads -86 or wrong temps, so obviously aint gonna blow cold air if it thinks its less than 0 degrees. a swift kick to the bumper usually sorts it out.

not happy
old cars do go wrong, i knew when i bought my zed it would take up all my money and it does, i bought mine off a friend who took it in part ex, i got a thourough check over even tho it was a mate, lookily its running ok, but things will fail, it 13 years old, and incredibly complex. eletrics wise. my advice would be to consider what costs you put into it so far, how much its gonna cost to repair. and what u get for it selling it and buying another one, but if u do that u could end up in the same boat. if your thinking of keeping this car for a good few years then spend money on it. at least u have peice of mind then.

Defrag
best way to defrag is press f8 on start up before the win logo appears and choose safe mode, this way nothing can interfere with the drive etc. windows tends to keep writing to the drive in normal mode, especially if u have a single partition.

is this head gasket failure
i seem to have to top my water up on a weekly basis just lately it doesnt appear to be leaking to the road anywhere so where is it going. the oil seems pretty normal, no white sludge or anything, power seems normal also, it has always seemed to run a tad rich, and get crappy mpg, the heater works and it doesnt overheat or anything, i do get the normal white vapour on start up which can turn to darker colour which indicates the rich running i presume. ive done a seach and rad that pcv and fuel daigphram might help, but it doesnt explain where the waters going.
