General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Just wanted to say a couple of thank you's, firstly to Darren and Daniel at D2 Vehicle Services in Rochester for supplying and fitting the manual conversion in two and a half days, also for fitting my decats. Also wanted to say thanks to Smithy, who didnt have stock of the clutch and flywheel, but got them on order and then sent direct to the garage and they arrived 24 hours before I arrived for the work done. Well impressed with the manual box, looking forward to summer now and a little enthusiastic driving :) Barry

Had a quick search but couldn't find the answer. If I de-cat my TT do I need it remapped?

Well, drew all the pipes and tubes etc needed to make up the rad hoses, sat at the 'puter and began to order the silicone hoses and join tubes etc. Time I'd done the total was £168!! :eek: -Fook that for a bag of spanners, going to get some stainless bent-much cheaper! ;) Oh!, and whilst on the subject, how can anyone justify £26 for a 90 degree bent piece of 21/2 inch steel pipe!-robbin' feckers!

oh christ not to start an auto v manual :headvswal :x: but what is the auto like around a track day, would love to go on the track but not sure with all those high speed turns and downshifts, anyone here fitted one of those shift at will thingies to there autobox, so you can change gear at will :rofl: :rofl: p.s no sly comments from u manual boy's :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Had a right day yesterday. I've been ill since the day before anyhow so wasn't feeling all that good. I drove into town about 40mph on a 60mph because it was damp and had a bloke come out of a T-junction with out even looking. I threw the anchor out the window but it wasn't going to stop me in time so I pulled the hand brake too. The rear spun round and the car slid uncontrollably on the narrow country road, narrowly missing a van going the other way. I ended up against the hedge and the f*cking bloke carried on driving. So I got the car car back the right way and went after him, not knowing if there was any damage yet. My Dad had a bad accident where the firebrigade had …

Now I know exactly how Mick felt, although my woes are somewhat less serious, and TBH I'm glad to still be here. Was driving up to Nottingham on Friday, heading along the A14 towards the M1. Anyway, some miles after the Spittles interchange at Huntingdon there's this gutter that runs right across the westbound carriageway (probably the eastbound as well but I didn't see). It's covered over with sections of concrete or metal, not sure which as I've never paid it much attention. I'm doing 70mph in the outside lane and am pulling back into the inside lane (I really was doing 70 -- there are too many speed cameras round there to be bothered looking out for them all …

I just read this on another forum, terrible news. From what Ive gathered he died of a brain tumour, I never even knew he was ill! Always happens to the best of 'em eh :( origonal link: http://www.britishrally.com/forum2/forum_posts.asp?TID=21733&PN=1&FID=31&PR=3 RIP Burnsy!

..........I have learned a whole lot of facts about the 300ZX since I joined the forum and thanks to all for that but my curiosity is boiling over now and I need educating further please: Can someone give me a simple way to let me know exactly what boost to PSi is and how this is calculated maybe a comparison chart and what effects all this has on the performance of the car. Thanks. I know that boost is generated by the turbo's and that PSi i a measurement of pressure and the more you get the more power you generate. But thats just the basic effect not the facts of how it works. BTW. I posted it here by mistake...... :eek: :(

Just out of interest, at what point does a post become drivel and pointless? Surely that is a decition only INDERVIDUAL members can decide after reading a post. One mans drivel is anothers joy. Maybe there should be a poll on every post and if the drivel result gets more than 10 votes its closed? I read some posts and just have no interest at all with them, others I think are great. Just cos I don’t want to read someone’s post on "my new house I've bought" does not make it drivel! Its got feck all to do with the forum/300's and I have no interest in it, the same way as someone else might not have any interest in a post "What’s the biggest spot you’ve ever had…

Red sauce or brown sauce???
