Z's dead baby - possible ignition problem?
Hi, The HKS filter is of a sponge mushroom type and so once wet, may take a while to dry out?...Worth checking anyway. Cheerz, Jez

Z's dead baby - possible ignition problem?
Hi, Have you got an aftermarket cone type air filter fitted?...As some of them don't have any protection from the rain and you can get the airflow meter wet in those conditions? Cheerz, Jez.

Must be looking for V power/Optimax? The super unleaded is usually 98 octane over there anyway. Jez.

2, going abroad in the zed questions
Hi, Petrol stations tend to be few and far between in France.The local brand tends to be Elf!You can drive for miles without seeing a petrol station! Most people seem to buy their fuel at the Intermarche type Supermarket, where you can get unleaded 95 or super unleaded 98 octane. A lot of petrol stations close at the weekends, so don't get caught short of fuel! Jez.

AVON ZZ1 Tyres WOOOAAHHH!!!
I fitted some Bridgestone SO2s to the rear of my old Z32 and I did a broadside across the road out of the tyre depot as they were very slippery!....It took a day or so for the treads to scrub up a bit and then the grip was excellent! Jez.

zed silver
Hi, As an update... I went to Halfords yesterday and gave them the Nissan silver code 673.The assistant brought it up on the computer and it said that only one colour was required to be mixed! Normally they have to mix silver with a small amount of black etc to get the right tone, but code 673 is just medium metallic silver from their stock! Cheerz, Jez.

turns to start
Hi, Mine starts intantly as soon as I turn the key....Almost annoyingly quickly, as it doesn't give the oil time to pump round from cold! Jez.

Starting to like the Infinity G35 (Skyline) quite a bit now.
Hi, Most G35/Skylines are 4 door saloons in the Lexus mould, but the coupe version is more like a stretched 2+2 350Z. The Coupe version had an uprated, more powerful 350Z engine before the 350Z did! I like them.

seat belts
Hi, They were designed as passive belts for the US market,where many drivers didn't bother to use their seatbelts. Nissan mounted the seatbelts on the door, claiming that you could leave them belted and shuffle in and out of the car with the belts in place.Therefore they needed to remain slack to enable the doors to be opened.

How well are they selling
Hi, I think that a good condition NA 2+2 manual will always find a buyer, as most NAs seem to be autos and NAs tend to be less modified too. Jez.

Considering a lip spoiler for my Z.
Hi, Looks really good, with the contrasting black strip.Would need a small number plate though, so as not to spoil the look.

Hi, You could just change your Auto to Manual and the difference would be worth it? Cheerz, Jez.- Happy Birthday Z32Dave
Hi, Happy Birthday!...from your old 300ZX! Jez.- 6 Die in Horrific M25 Crash
Hi, That company, Dunchurch Motors ,from near Rugby, recovered my 300ZX a few years back when I broke down on the way to Billing Aquadrome. The driver had already been up to Yorkshire and back, before he picked me up at nearly midnight near Northampton! Jez- Z Back on the road!!
Hi, I taxed my Z yesterday and took it down to work, a nice 25 mile drive down A and B roads. For the last few miles I followed a new Porsche Carrera at a fairly decent pace. On entering the town, one or two people had a long look at my lowly old Z32NA and ignored the Porsche in front completely!:) Jez.- has ya5een still got the my old swb?
Bet you're popular with the neighbours having a half built Z sat on your patio! :D- fifth gear
