She's home
got back from sunny bournemouth today, lots of pennies lighter. Ride is lovely, cant fault it. Not sure if its as quick as my UK TT but that could just be a noise thing - my UK TT is straight through where my black beauty is silenced. Needs a bit of TLC and tidying up so it has began, Im down in the garage unbolting and transferring bits over as we now speak :) Cheers Martin - your a top man!

Headlamp problem after fitting HID's
I have a problem with mine. swapped both over so proved its not ballast or bulb. new battery so its not that. If I start the car and turn em on they both come on. however, if I kill the lights then put em back on again the drivers side doesnt come on. Cant remember if it happens if I put lights on before I start engine, but it would suggest a relay somewhere.

Nexen Tyres
nah, hes a mate :) He told me the local lads round here fit em to their M3's etc. They work out nearly £50 a tyre cheaper than the F1s. Appreciate what your saying tho. I Think theyre a winter tyre so could prob fit em now then fit F1's in the summer as the F1s I have are summer tyres. just wanted to know if anyone had heard owt bad bout em.

Possibly breaking Zed
Thinking about breaking my manual UK TT. :( Many parts like viper spoiler, HKS SSQV DV's (Possibly), 17" Modena wheels, rear white light conversion, engine parts etc etc etc. just gauging interest. Please pm me if your after a part with a price your prepared to pay - If I get enough requests I may break it up. Cheers

thinking of getting rid. . . .
Dammit - looks like another Zed then :) I may have a look at an R32 GTR Skyline - just not right keen on the styling of em ;) Inside looks like a basic taxi cab sorta car. thought about going down the 200sx route - but prefer its big brother. One good thing I spose is I pretty much knows what can/cant go wrong with zeds now. Cheers for the advice peeps - Gonna see how much longer mine runs for then look at getting another Zed I think - then transplant some bits over and break mine :) Whats the chance of me getting a modified SWB TT Manual for under 5K. Im really interested in MARTINFA's Black SWB - mint looking motor but personally I wanted a slightly newer car than mine - like a series 2.

thinking of getting rid. . . .
. . .hard decision but you can only spend so much on a car :( think the turbo seals are on their way out now. Had enough. Not sure whether to sell the car or break it - think I may get about 2K upwards by breaking it. Either that or take off the best bits and keep em for a new zed? Thing is what do I buy? I got about £5K tops. Got my heart on another Zed - preferably a shortie TT Manual Tbar jobbie. Just love having the tops off in the summer. Other cars Im thinking of are. . . Skyline - Prob only be a GTS though :( - Im presuming they are not as fast as ours and dont have Roof off :) 3000GT/GTO TT - I think same speed as ours (poss dare I say it faster??) 4WD - good but again no roof off :( Supra TT - Ugly - dont care if theyre fast - the only one I like is the aerotop and they are too much for the Aerotop TT version. RX7 - Think these are fastest of em all. Unsure about styling. just speaking aloud here - dont know what to do. . . . .

smoking.
Sort of a blue/white smoke. Seems to smoke real bad when cold when warmed up you notice the smell more.
-
smoking.
Morning all, noticed my zeds starting to smoke pretty badly, if window is open and your sat in traffic you sorta start choking on the smell. Notice a puff if your boot it - throttle off then touch the accelerator again. Im thinking its turbo seals but would that cause smoking under fairly normal driving??? If it is turbo seals - any idea on how much to get them replaced? Cheers

Aftermarket Steering Wheel
Got a Momo Race, and if you just fit the wheel it has 6 countersunk holes for 6 presumably countersunk hex screws. But. . . This momo comes with a ring thats not countersunk?? So do I just fit the ring over and not worry about the countersunk holes on the steering wheel? Little worried coz I thought that if I fit the ring and not use the countersunk holes there could be some play and under bad conditions could even be play and crack screws??? If that makes any sense.

Resubscribed
Didnt realise I had lapsed over. I have since joined the Zclub aswell (friendly bunch and lots of familiar faces ;) ) I have resubscribed to this forum for the reason of. .. it was a brilliant forum, but recently due to number of factors has brought it down a bit. Now I know this has been said on numerous threads about troublemakers, etc and I *dont* want to cause arguments or bitch and gripe, but Im sincerely hoping this forum becomes great again. I used to log onto 300zx 10 times a day or more and read every thread going. Its been said a thousand times before, lets all try and get on, stop posting drivel and make this a great place again. Oh - Happy Xmas everyone. :duffer:

P2p Advice
A lot of people using torrents experiencing really slow speeds could be down to their router (If they have one). You need to set up port forwarding - this can raise your d/l speeds from under 10K to over 200K (on a 2MB connection). I originally had very slow speeds but after setting up my router Im nearly always above 180K.
