General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Chuffed, I got flashed by a camera in Plymouth a month or so ago and have been worried that I'd end up with 9 points and the potential of losing my licence if I got flashed again. Instead they have put me on a speed awareness course. It'll still cost £60 but I wont get the points. It was ridiculous as I thought it was a 40mph limit so I was going along at 39mph completely aware of my speed. I then got flashed because it was a 30mph zone (doh!). Oh and it was at midnight with not another car (or person) in sight. I got the picture off of them as I wasn't sure if it was me driving at the time. It would have been too much hassle to contest it and the cost of driving ba…

Some of you may remember that I was looking at being out of work in the new year............... Well i won't be now, as I've just handed in my notice today :D I received a phone call last Friday, from my old boss, saying that if I was interested, I've got a job with them. Well I went to see him yesterday afternoon, and we disscussed the details, I've seen my boss this morning and also disscussed the details, and I leave here on January 27th :D I am somwhat chuffed at the moment :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: So i go from this nice warm office based job, to working out in all weathers ;) AND I'll have to start working for a living again :shock:

I pulled the bumper off the car today revercing it off the drive. Anyone got a fook off drill so I can take the kerb out or a 5Cal so I can take the whole lot of the council out responcible for putting the poxy kerb there.

Its not very often I get irate about stuff, normally quite laidback, but they were discussing an article on the radio today, about a schoolkid who was suspended from school for refusing to remove a crucifix and chain around their neck. Apparently the reason was it could offend people of another faith ! :confused: Other children in the class from a different country and background were allowed to keep wearing some sort of bangle, as it is part of their religion and culture. When the kid pointed this out, and said that if they had to remove their religous jewellery, it was only fair for everybody to abide by the same rules, she was suspended !!! :eek: What…

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 ;)

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.

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…
