I have a nasty feeling mine makes mine look smaller. But who cares. I love it (the car). Mine is purple and very clean. :dance: :dance: :dance:

OK, here's a silly teenage question I'm having an argument about here...what's the hardest town / city in the UK? We've got votes for Stoke on Trent, Wisbeach, Merthyr Tyddvill (?sp), Portsmouth and Glasgow here so far. I would point out hardness is not my 'specialist subject'. I'd be about as good in a scrap as a wet tea towel. :dance: :dance: :dance:

Crocs kill more people than any other animal on the planet. Well, compared to other big ones. Bacteria and little things like that kill far more I guess.

Poor visibility looking over your right shoulder.

I didn't change the brake fluid in my 200sx S13 for about 6 years. I got brake fade following a new shape BMW 750 on the motorway, braking down quick from high speeds. Very nasty! They literally stopped working when I hit 'em about the fifth time. Most decent garages have a thing which enables them to flush the whole system through from the reservior pretty cheaply.

I heckled Lindsey Dawn McKenzie on Central Weekend Live at Nottingham's Lenton studio. It was a show about 'two-timing' and she was defending herself in some daft argument by by saying "I've had it done to me loads of times, loads of times, I've had it done to me loads of times". I shouted "I bet you have, love", and everyone P***** themselves laughing. I was 'asked to leave' then and missed Brian Harvey.

Wasn't there a thread like this on before? Are you sure you did a search before posting? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'd stay clear of Dot 5. I think it's silicon based so the whole system needs to be flushed out. And it needs to be changed very often ( I have a mate who uses it in a race motorbike and he changes it ever race). Get a decent Dot 4, try Castrol Racing if you want a high boiling point. I could be wrong. I'm no expert.

Fixed it. The stereo fitted had dropped a screw into the track! Muppet. Many thanks for the help and kind offers.

6X4 are a direct replacement. A stereo shop was looking at mine the other day.

It sounds like you have loads of proof it's a UK car. I'd try the insurance ombudsman. They can give your insurance company a proper kicking as they're clearly mucking you about. And make them pay out the full amount. I have the phone number at work I think, if you want it.

Nice one gents; loads of useful stuff there. I'll give it a proper look over tomorrow (well, that's today now)

He's "proper bo" this lad. :rofl: :rofl:

My electric adjustable driver's seat used to be fine. Now it'll only go back and forwards a little bit. It sounds like there's something in the way, blocking it but i can't see anything. Any suggestions what might be wrong? Thanks again guys* :hyper: * I assume most of us are guys. A woman in a Zed? Preposterous! Although the only reason I need my seat to go all the way forward is cos my girlfriend drives it and she's shorter than me.

SORTED! I went back and asked them nicely to sort it and they did. It looks great now. The only problem now is it's too good for the speakers so I'll have to get them replaced too! But there's no rush for that. Thanks for the advice people.

I just had my standard import stereo replaced with a decent, new Sony system. I asked before hand if there would be any gaps around the unit and was told no. It's been fitted and there are quite big gaps as the car's an import so they can't use the plastic surround which goes at the front of the stereo. Is this true? Is there any way of getting a stereo to fit properly into a Jap 300?

Welcome Chris! The 'auto' turns the air con on and 'econ' runs the heater without the air con. Otherwise the number is temperature, the number of fan blades lit if fan speed and the arrows pointing show where the air is blowing. The radio won't pick up many UK stations without a band extender (about £20). I'm about to have my jap spec stereo replaced with a UK one as the Jap one's not removable and I think someone'll break in and knacker the car doing so.

mine's an import and doesn't have cruise control... I think

Hi Chas. I just got rid of my 200SX (S13) and got a N/A Jap 300ZX too. It rocks. And don't listen to the 'oooh, it hasn't got a turbo'-brigade. If 220bhp isn't enough, there's aways nitrous.

Where do they rust? I'm keen to prevent it on my import if I can.

B wins Better sprung mass : unsprung mass ratio. Therefore wheels easier to turn and grip the road better. Probably.

I just bought my import (1999 model). The shop that sold it converted the speedo to MPH. They adjusted the mileage to read 36,000 as they said that was what it was in km before. I looked through the paperwork and told them it should be 23,000. They checked and disagreed and wouldn't change it to 23,000. I believe them and 36,000 was correct. Worrying if they all have that mileage though!

I'm going to replace the std stereo in my Jap 300. I'm afraid someone will break in to nick it cos it's got no face off etc. Any recommendations? ps. The Japanese must be great if no-one nicks stereos!

Maybe if you do get it done, take date recorded 'before and after' pics so you can show the next buyer it wasn't damaged.

A guy at work said to me: "I like your new car; very 'white trash' ". What a cheeky tinker! Needless to say I glassed him, set my pit bull on him and got my mini-skirted young wife to spit at him while I kicked him repeatedly in the head in front of my kids. That said, I do live in a terraced house on an estate, listen to country music and shop at Kwik Save. Is anyone posh, or failing that, fall into the high bracket for income tax? I don't but I never thought me or my car was 'white trash'.
