The sun is out !
Whats average speed? Any where between 200-275 miles. Yes that varied. Does any one else think that your car smells new when you drive with the roof off. My car smalls different when I take my T-Tops off. Stuart

cheap insurance
I and check its classed as a Z32 not a Z31. TSB online quote says £400 fully comp for a 22 year old with 3 years NCB, which is not right. Stuart

For it or against?
On the news there where talking to Iraqy people when first the war broke out where hoping, that Sadam would be over thrown. But, when Sadam retreated from Kuwait, every one left. No why are people protesing when people of that country want that person out of power. If they just kill him, his son will take over who is said to be worse. Sometimes when things get so bad its better so scrap it and start again. Its time to scrap Iraq's rule and start again with an whole new system. One where people vote for who they want in power.

Always do a search first!
Thats the most I have helped someone with out doing anything. :D :D :D Virtually every problematic question about the Z has been asked. If you search you may find the answer, for things like that. But if your car wont start and you seach for car wont start. You wont find the answer, because that never happens to these cars ;) Stuart

Too Much Oil
Least I know that the valve works. The pressure goes to 90PSI and doesnt go any higher. I ask this because I drove my car to work and on exhaust pipe has that grey goo when water mixes with water in it. But I did clean my tial pipes yesterday with water and spray oil, to get the soot off, so I think its that. But I will keep an eye on it. Stuart

Too Much Oil
Where does the oil come out if you over fill it. I ask because I over filled it slightly when I did a change yesterday, not by much, and I have been keeping an eye on the oil pressure and it hasnt gone too high but is higer than what it should be for the RPM im doing. I know there is a valve that opens when its over full and the oil is released, but where does it come out? The exhaust, on the floor? I am planning to take some oil out when I have time, maybe Monday or Tuesday. Stuart

Water temp gauge install
I connected mine to the 2. They seem to be working well and my aftermarket on is showing the optimum temp and the fan came on when the gauge showed the temp it should come one if you get what I mean Stuart

Boost Leak
I would take the jets out till you sort it, as we dont really know what boost you should be pushing with the jets as they are very hit and miss. Least then we know when we sort the leak beacuse you will have 9PSI. You can try pressurising the engine with a home made blocker and air line you put over there the air box goes, blow in the air and listen for any leaks. You will be able to hear then because the engine will be off. Stuart

Kwik fit advise warning ....... nzr
I know some one who worked for Kwik Fit and they said that they are told my management to push for things that are not really needed. Frighten people into having new shock by saying its making the car unsafe. When I had an Astra I went to get 2 new tyres and dispite there advert saying 10 mins per wheel I was there for 40 mins they told me that my discs where below the min level, and fair doos they where, but I was quoted £190 for to job of 2 front discs and change front pads. I went over to halfords and bought the every thing for £60 and a hour later they it was done. We also had family Sierra there an exhaust change as no one had the time to do it. 3 years later it needed another one and took it some where else where we were told that the exhaust on it was the wrong one, it was for an Escort 1.6 or something. FFS! Wouldnt trust them as far as I could throw them. Stuart

19" wheels
When I spoke to Johnny he said he wish he didnt get 19s. It caused his car to tram line and the ride in the car was so hard it was uncomfortable. He wished he got 18's instead. Stuart

Bulkhead hole!
Use the hole where the bonet cable release goes through the bulk head. Stuart

Should I buy a 300ZX
As said. New engine is the worse. Turbos can go too which will cost about £1000 to do. But there are so many people who can help you keep the cost right down, with quality 2nd hand bits, or alternatives to Nissan parts which tend to be cheaper or better. Stuart

Why do people protest ?
I take offence to this post and I shall be stopping trains, roads and recruiting teenage school children who just jump on any band waggon that is popular to help me in my fight to rid this world of this post ;) ;) ;) Stuart

I'm Rich!
I know I thought it was that for a while but my expertees is not as good as others and asked for help. These Diags really just shows how bad it was. I also got a small vid clip of the stock water temp showing normal, yet my after market one showing over 90C and the fan came on for the first time ever. Stuart

I'm Rich!
According to my ECU I am. I did an ECU test and got the all clear, 55. I than ran the O2 test, when you rev the car for 2 mins at 2000rpm and the light is supposed to flash about 5 times every 10 seconds. Mine flashes on for 15-20 seconds on then goes off for 1-2 seconds then back on for 15-20 secs. Are my O2 Sensors wrong? Will they need replacing? I think they do. Plus my tail pipes are covered in soot. Stuart

Supercharger for 300zx
There are kits to convert the Z to a single turbo or supercharger, but its a lot of time and effort. Stuart

Going karting @ silverstone!
There is one at Three Sisters in September, same format as what I did a few weeks ago. As many drivers as you want I think. An hour practise, 10 mins Qualifying, 4 hours of racing. If any one wants to join this it will be good fun. The Three Sisters is a propper Kartking track and I think they use it on the UK Karting Championship too. I know a few years ago, Fisichella took Ryan Giggs round the track in a Honda 2000 for an ITV spot. Stuart

Let War Begin!!!
Think about it, MAC comes accross this most weekends being a doorman. He can talk to calm people down, he can reason to calm them down, but some times when they are being a danger to himself and other people going out, they need a smack before they start to behave. Stuart

Can we all have a though for the 12 that died
Last night 12 people, 8 British soilders and 4 US pilots, died after their Sea Knight helicopter crashed in desert. It was not shot down but crashed because of cracked rotor. Please give a thought to the families of these brave people who lost their lives. Stuart

Going karting @ silverstone!
I did one at 3 Sisters a few weeks ago. How long is the race? Try to keep each person out for as long as possible. It takes time to come in the pit and change over so do the least number of changes possible. Stuart
