Hallo All, my clutch fluid reservoir has emptied itself again (only 2 months since last time grrr). The cap on the reservoir says DOT3 but the Owners Manual says DOT3 or DOT4 Europe only. It's a Japanese import with OEM clutch - so do I buy DOT3 or DOT4? Thanks - Gio

yes there are specialists for the Z32 - and luckily they have a forum section here ! http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42

From today's BBC budget analysis also good news for BigRoy and ChrisC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4354855.stm :rofl:

Oh no it wasn't :D You could say the 350z was a replacement for the 280z but it was deffo not designed or intended as a replacement zx.

The Aus forum changed their site around. Here's where the old links went http://aus300zx.neuralmotion.com.au/tech/index.html http://aus300zx.neuralmotion.com.au/tech/lights.htm

I found some more stuff in the Enthusiast's Companion - it was shown at Tokyo Motor Show 1987. Twin Turbo, V6 and 4wd.

It's a pre-cursor of the Z32 in, I think, 1984, when they were looking at mid engined layout. At least it really is mid-engined rather than a bling-fake tailgate.

this from a poopra jelly mould owner? :D

7pm Saturday 26th March BBC 1 eeeeeoooww-waddle-adang, waddle-adang, dumdiddly waddle-adang :hyper: :hyper: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/ Sad, isn't it? :D thanks to http://www.who3d.com/home.htm for the logo

14 days to NIP and they allow a couple of days for post so 17 days. Start counting! More good advice here http://www.speed-trap.co.uk/Home/Menu1.htm

:shock: ok that beats me :eek: ;)

Probably at 4am all over your clean tshirts in the ironing cupboard (I speak from personal experience hahaha yeeuk)

OK so we're both missing each other's point. My point is that if you get caught by a speed camera, you weren't paying attention to your driving (mostly - not exclusively). And if you're not paying attention, you're not safe: to yourself, to other drivers and little old ladies at bus-stops. Pay attention and you'll cut your chances of getting caught.

OK so what is the point? The speed limit in this country has been 70mph since I was born (indeed sometime it was down at 50mph just to show how old I am). It's not something new. The use of cameras is new - well, sort of, maybe 5 or 10 years new. Being pulled by jam sandwiches, plod with hairdryer, unmarked, unfair plod hiding etc etc is not new. Sticking to the speed limit (or at least driving at such a speed as to probably not trigger a camera) is easy. Keeping an eye out for bright yellow things is easy and should be part of your road skills anyway. Keeping an eye on your speed is easy and should be part of your road skills anyway. If people are such bad drivers they are not aware of their speed or their road environment, they deserve all they get IMHO.

PaulC, small claims court is no problem if a bit nerve-wracking the first time. Very simple, bit of form filling, £80 fee (which you get back if you win). You can read up on it and download all the forms and leaflets here http://www.courtservice.gov.uk/ You can even submit a claim online!

The massive majority of speeding fines are being paid by those who are too stupid to notice a) the big numbers painted on the signs b) ditto on the road c) the brightly coloured square thing on a post d) the van with garish stripes all over it e) the plod in a hi-vis jacket pointing a hairdryer at you or f) the big white car with fluorescent yellow squares and blue flashy things on top. Or those who are too tight to invest in devices to warn them of accident black spots. Think of it as evolution in action! Get trained, keep your eyes on the road and not on the DVD player, PS2, seatcover etc, concentrate on your driving and you will a) have more fun driving b) be safer and c) get pulled less often for speeding, driving without due care etc and d) kill less people. Simple, innit?

THERE IS NO JUSTICE... THERE'S JUST US hahaha (now watch me get my first ever speeding points... :rofl: )

As Ben Franklin said in 1789, there are two things certain in this world: death and taxes. Get used to it! Don't speed on the public highway and you won't get caught. What's the problem with that? Learn how to drive fast and well and you will lessen your chances of being caught - and improve your chances of good treatment should you be unlucky enough to get pulled. Invest in a speed camera indicator and you too will know where the police / local authority think there is an accident black spot which needs extra care. And when that device warns you to take extra care, heed the warning. If you want to speed deliberately and consistently, either do it in Germany, the Isle of Man or on a trackday - but ffs stop whinging if you do it on the public highway. You know the rules, the only question is are you intelligent to use them to your advantage. :D

Hi Rob, for advice on the Z31, you're better off going to http://www.zclub.net as the ZClub is "One club for all the Cars" and here is Z32 specific. Good Luck - Gio

I wouldn't exactly say that, Roy - after my laps round Estoril, Team Green came over and said "would you like to know your time" "ooh yes please" I said, "one inch on the sundial" they announced :rofl: :rofl:

Yep that's right. Deffo Estoril but can't place the exact date. The first ZXR750. If you look at the leftmost ZXR in the pic, you'll see a green / white / red colour scheme. That was for the French endurance team. I can't for the life of me remember for sure who we took from the UK. Chris Dabbs was there and this might have been the one where Tim Thompson nearly missed the plane.

No no really here's where I (used to) work and yes, mate, it was Kawasaki I used to work for. Are you with a particular mag or general emap-ness?
