General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Took my Z to the nice guys at Zedworld for the cam and aux belts. Also asked them to look at my non functioning HICAS. 3.5hrs traveling in dawn fog and M6 traffic to get there. Had to spend 6.5hrs wandering around Tamowrth - bored shitless, drank gallons of coffee and smoked loads of fags. Got the car back - Belts we're definately overdue for changin and apparently i have an aftermarket chip :hyper: cool! HICAS light was on cause the PS fluid was low :headvswal embarrasing!!! Weather was even worse on the way home and ended up needing a change of undies after trying to out excellerate a scooby and finding that half throttle in 3rd gives far too much…

Took the beast back to get the mapping finished today so i should be writing to say how much power she produced and how happy i am but For some reason couldnt map it!? was cutting out at 5000 revs and had us all scratching our heads for 3 hours changing settings?? So just before 7pm and about to give up the mapper tried changing the MAP sensor setting we had been given for the car and sorted :) unfortunatly means we have to remap the whole map from the start but at least we will be able to do the whole map and actually run some boost now :D But at 7000 revs running no boost i did get 224 rwhp :rofl: Be nice to run some decent boost :hyper: …

Just a thought, how many on here are happy in marriage? And how many are Unhappy etc???????

I was driving the wifes Vectra yesterday when the wierdest thing started to happen. When the revs hit about 3000 ( on acceleration ONLY ) the car starts whistling LOUDLY and then stops as you go over 3000. It doesn't whistle when just reving the car, but theres a loud induction/suction sound coming from underneath. any ideas, i can't find where the whistling is comin from due to it only doin it whilst accelerating. HEELLLPPPP!!!!!!

At risk of being banned again for posting what could potentially be trash but... I have been convicted of driving without insurance :slap: and I have had some insurance quotes for when I get my driving licence back, and quite frankly they are horrendous. I will be starting again from scratch, have to take a driving theory and practical test, although I will have 12 points on my licence for 2 years and then 6 for the following 2. All of the quotes I have had are in this ball park : Ford fiesta, R reg, £2500 TPFT. Does anyone know of an insurance company who will be able to improve upon this, as I am at my witts end, and when i do eventually get a nissan…

My Omega will be going shortly and I will be going down the contract hire route. Anyone used any decent companies in the past?

Any one have any ideas without getting ripped off? :confused:

did i miss much??? LOL :rofl:

I was taking my wheels off to spay all the bits behind (excpet brake surfaces) with ACF50 anti corrosion fluid. When putting one (OZ) wheel back I busted the centre cap. I think it can be mended but is there anywhere that sells replacements? Cheers folks!

I had my Car Cover delivered today. I only ordered it yesterday. Thats a remarkable service given by Chris. I will take a few pictures tomorrow as I havent had time today and its now dark outside. But By the looks of "whats in the box" It is of a very good quality and I think an asset to the ownership of A car that I obviously want to keep spick and span. I havent got a garage only the drive and this item will do just fine thank you. If you havent got a garage and want to look after your car. Get one. it'll be the best item you have bought for your car to date. Thanks Chris. most excellently pleased. :bow: :bow:

Been knocking up the temp exhaust tonight,as you can see the only silencers in it are the rear boxes-and they've been gutted! :eek: could be a little loud but if it gets me to the exhaust shop-fook it! :D
