is there any point in me subscribing ?
wow handbags at dawn.... I really dont see what the problem is on this site. Why are a few of you so up the wall about the site? Im fairly new to the site and find it very helpful and useful to me. I have saved hundards due to the FREE ADVISE i got from you guys so the £20 i paid to be a member is nothing (i spent more in the indian tonight lol). It seems to me that there are things that have happened in the past and some members and mods seem to find it hard to let it be IMHO. Maybe people that have been here for a while and have had zeds for a long time dont need the advise as you now know how to diagnose and fix your zed. Im guessing here but i would say that when you first bought your zed and logged on to this site you had no clue about PCV valves and saftey boost and all the other silly faults you get with your zed and only through advise from fellow members have you learnt how to fix your zed. this is a great site for 300zx owners, fact. The advise you get here is well worth the £20/£15 a year you pay. Saying that i would like to see the club at more than 1 show a year. it would be nice for the club to attend more shows as it would be good for the club communty and nice to put some face's to the cars. just my 2 pence worth.

how many people have had speeding tickets?
lots!!!! i have been caught about 6 times but have only had 6 points as i managed to get out of the others. If you argue them they tend to drop the ticket. i do 80,000 miles a year mind so im on the road lots.

Rebuilding A Smashed TVR
well i think you need deep pockets to fix that up. If it was an easy fix then the garage that is selling it would be doing it. Also the front right chassis arm is bent/dented also its going to need vic test and is recorded so will never be worth as much as a non crashed tvr and with fuel prices etc these tvr's are only going to come down in value and there are some about for around £7500 up wards now. I would really look into repair cost very carfully as i think lower arms, wishbones etc will not be cheap plus all the body work needed. also bear in mind you cant test drive it and check overheating problems etc. If your brave enough it is a good project and is probably worth decent money in parts so you may have a fail safe if it goes tits up with the budget

I do normally go throught the FAQ's to get my answers but im in a lazy mood today! :sleep1::sleep1::sleep1: Anyway what i wanted to know is what i need to buy in order to fit coil overs the correct way? ie camber adjusting arms etc...... Also are there kits that do it all for me?

540i Anyone had one?
i was looking at a 530d before i bought the zed and read a bit about the auto gearbox's losing reverse and cost £800+ to sort out. Also the auto box's are meant to be sealed for life and changing the gearbox oil is a pain in the arse and expensive i belive.

How much does your zed owe you??
not if you look at the photos of your zed when you bought it to how it is now. Yours is a really nice zed

misfire again.
oh right something else i need sort out! is there meant to be more than 1 earth point for the coils? i have 1 large black wire which i have earthed to the battery and then there are 4 small earth wires that go to 2 ring terminals which are on the balance bar
-
misfire again.
i spent the rest of the afternoon stripping back my wiring loom to cheack for any breaks or shorts. I didnt find any but i did find that the eaths for the coils are split. I have a large earth that was going to the plenum which i have now moved to the battery and then i had 2 lots of 2 wires going to the earth on the balance bar. This seems a bit odd to me? does anyone else have earth wires going to the 3 bolts on the balance bar? im thinking my wiring loom has been chopped about loads!!!!
-
misfire again.
well i have fixed misfire on the left bank which was me being an idiot and pluging the o2 sensor onto the coil but now i have a mis on no5 cylinder? Changed coil from 5 to 3 but mis stays on 5. Its getting fuel as when i removed the plug it was wet any ideas?
