General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Looking out at this weather it seems like our summer jollies and JAE japes are such a long way away, my Z is in the garage not gonna even bother insuring and taxing it untill the worst of the winter is over. I think I must be getting that seasonal affected disorder when you get pi55ed off with the miserable dark rainy days. Roll on spring when the fridge returns in a blaze of glory, gonna get cracking with my Mk1 Escort cossie project too. :D Paul

As the title says. What do you recommend for a good starting point. I have just fitted a profec b spec 2 and now im shattin' myself about using it :cry: . I'm a boost virgin so please be gentle with me LOL

.... but boy am I dumb when it comes to Geography ! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4356840.stm 6/14 !!!

:rant: Why do most of the ads in autotrader look like the seller took a photo as they walked away. Most common pic is the big long nose . Car looks awful. even some private sellers seem to have no imagination when selling their car. I can never understand it. A beautiful looking car photographed like some astra or focus. To me the best photo is the rear 3/4 view. No-one bothers though, just take any old pic. it's just not on :rant: :D

I'm looking to get some Autometer blue bulb covers as mine only came with green and red. I can get these for just under $4.00 for a pack of 3 plus $27.95 shipping!!! Let me know if anyone else is interested before I place an order and we can share the shipping... CheerZ Steve :) *EDIT* If any of our traders offer these, please PM me or reply below and I'll get rid ;)

Lost (deceased) my ex-Mrs Turbo on January 30th although been split up since about July/August '04 but we'd been together for about 12 years so was gutted but the 300ZX crew were there for me. Thanks again everyone! But on the up, had met my new Mrs. Turbo a.k.a. Jen and then found out that she was preggers plays pop in April. :rofl: Jobwise things have been good, been lucky enough to stay in good IT contracts all year and looking forward to a happy Crimbo (for a change) and an even happier New Year with the birth of our daughter...due 31st December. Z still not been officially on the road this year but that will change next year. What else? Moved…

Read your pm Allan

I keep seeing these on e-bay, TD04-H turbos for $300. I'm wondering if:- a) It's a scam. b) If the statement "these turbos are capable of 25-30 psi" is bullshit c) If there are other bits I'd need. d) All three. :rofl: I've got a mate living in NC, USA so might be worth me buying a couple.

well i couldent stay away for long all of 2 months :rofl: just picked up my new 300 tt 2+2 jap import in red :headvswal got to get that sorted fast :rofl: these are crap pics but will get some taken on mon when i start to strip it down. its got a rare back spoiler ??? its in fiberglasss and looks like a standard spoiler but over sized, and got some bomex mirrors full ajustable shocks, it just needs the cams looking at or could be a cam belt gone???

This must be worth bidding for as it has a life time warranty. ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350z-2003-52-PLATE-EVO-TOYOTA-SUBARU-MAZDA_W0QQitemZ4595109768QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I do still love the smooth look....BUT, I came across this.... :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

Just a quick post to let you guys know that the 2005 christmas raffle will be launched TODAY!! All details, prize list etc etc will be posted later in the day. :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

A silly mare drove in to the back of my Omega last month. Damage was minimal but the bill for the repair is £1065 + VAT. The adjusters offered me £900 but said that if I decide to get an adjuster to come and inspect the car, it will more than likely be a total loss. Therefore, as I will be getting a company car next month and it needs a new alternator, I decided to go for the loss. What I want to know is, how long is it between the adjuster comes out and says it's a right off, and the car actually being taken away? Days, weeks, months? Just want to know so that I can gauge whether to get another car or not in the mean time. Cheers Cos

First of all, a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has donated prizes for the raffle. Well over £2000 worth of prizes up for grabs. The prizes are: 1: A years free subscription to 300zx.co.uk including welcome pack and £150 to be spent at any of the forum traders. 2: Zed mod pack 1: Apexi induction, Set of front Porterfield Carbon Kevlar brake pads, AC Autotechnic 52mm Indiglo gauge, Shrimpy grounding kit (chose your colour), and £100 to be spent at any of the forum traders courtesy of On Tap Plumbing and Heating 3: Zed mod pack 2: Smithy laser engraved Throttle Cover and Plenum Strips, Complete set of vacuum lines (red or blue), AC Auto…

i had my spoiler sprayed when my z went back in for the second time. it looked really good when i got it back but the last week with all this bad weather has taken its toll. the dam thing has bubbled up and looks water logged again.... :headvswal think im going to have to save up for a fibreglass replica or something different.. just won't be until next year now :cry:
