I could be. I'm determined to finally meet up with some of the NW guys before the years out!. Just need to check with 'er in doors' and also that I'm not on call for work that weekend... Gareth

As I recall there is also a fuel pump fuse in the small box in front of the master cylinder. Have you checked that? Mine kept blowing when I had a faulty pump. The fuse is a funny cartridge type shape with a window in the top... HTH Gareth

I was looking for a toy which had to be Nissan and turbocharged as I love Nissans. Very nearly bought a R33 Skyline GTS-M but with it being a 2nd car I needed to start another insurance policy and the group 20 import insurance was huuuuugggeee. Did some investigations into alternatives and the 300zx ticked the boxes: 1)Nissan 2)Turbocharged 3)Good looking 4)Fast And as well as that mines a UK car so pay £280 a year insurance! So I'm not a true Z-car enthusiast but I'm happy :)

Having seen this at Dave's house a couple of times, I have to say I think this is a great looking zed. Shame to see whats happening to it...

Ref Lymons post... OS Giken gear sets are the same for the Z32/R32/R33 according to their website...maybe thats another option? Although they seem to be close ratio sets so maybe no good for top speed runs. RB Motorsports are the UK distributor. HTH

How about a Holinger 6 speed sequential? You can get the bell housing adapters for the Z32 apparently... Probably talking big wonga though....

Gareth - Chester Car is on the road sort of, but currently stuck in my garage as I'm having a new roof on the house and some idiot decided to put the skip in front of the garage door! No car until next week at earliest :( Congrats on the rep. position mate!

If I had the space I'd be taking orders, (with a commision obviously :D). Unfortunatley I doubt I'll have much time to get anything for myself! ....doesn't mean I won't try though ;)

Once or twice a week if I'm lucky. Don't seem to get much chance at the moment :(

I wish!, I got an ear bashing off the missus just because I said I'd like to go and watch some of the late night ring road 'racing' in Tokyo. :bow: I will definitely come back with some stuff though....she just doesn't know it yet ;)

ooooooohh!!! I'm going to Japan in March (Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka). Methinks I will have to pay a visit :D :p

What crummy luck! I hope that Leigh gets better soon, there is nothing worse than spending week after week in hospital - I know, it drove me absolutely nuts! All the best... Gareth

90% sure I can make this....need to try to go to at least one meeting!

I could be interested depending on date/place. ...(and as long as people don't take the pee out of my scruffy shed-x!)

The really sad thing is that I recognise that most of those graphics are ripped off from Need for Speed :Underground. I need to get out more........... :(

1) My Chemical Romance - 3 cheers for sweet revenge 2) Public Enemy - Best of 3) New Found Glory - Catalyst The choices of a 16 year old and yet I'm twice that age... :cry: :wack: :D

Just to give another opinion. I had an almost similar problem with the oil pressure gauge dropping really low, particularly when warm and sitting at traffic lights etc. I recently changed the oil to a good quality fully synthetic oil and now I haven't seen it much below 30 since. Maybe try a different oil???

For new try... http://www.brakeparts.co.uk

Just got back now........ IT PASSED!!!!! :shock: A few advisory notes though, mainly to do with years of being on UK roads. All related to the rear end underneath (including suspension bushes, corrosion on suspension components etc). I think I'll keep an eye out for a good rear subframe and replace the lot over the winter. Another 12 months of Zedding though :hyper:

To be honest I've decided to expect the worst, that way anything else is a bonus! I have asked to be able to 'observe' the guy doing the test so that I can see exactly what he's talking about if he finds anything.

Well the car is booked into the MOT station on Saturday morning :eek: , I was just wondering what are the most common things the zx fails on (not that I expect a fail - obviously :nelson: ).

Cheers for the birthday greetings all - missus wouldn't let me near the 'puter yesterday and I was off work so didn't spend all day on here pretending to work! Did have a few of these though... :duffer:

Q1 - All the GTS Skylines I have looked at had the battery in the back so I reckon its standard. Q2 - I was told they have a safety boost feature, can't confirm this 100% though If I remember any more I'll post later.........

It would have to have longer legs, how else would it reach the ground? :confused: :wack:

Mine arrived at the weekend, many thanks for this...
