General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Thought i'd try and get rid of the caliper creak i have in the fronts today, it's really loud! Spent 4 hours, jacking car up, removing wheels, removing pads, rubbing down and cleaning all the shims etc, covering all the surfaces with copper grease and putting the pads back in, wheels back on etc... Went for a test drive and the brakes were silent! not a sound! 15 minutes later i pull up in my street to park and creeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaakkkkk!!!! :headvswal Fookin car! What a waste of time and effort! :rant:

anyone looking forward to seeing this then?? http://www.gtrproto.com/

Hi guys, Just sold my Z on ebay earlier this week, she had to go :( . It met it's reserve, I got a message from the buyer yesterday saying that he could no longer go ahead with the deal and he's sorry. Do you know where I stand on this? I'm assuming ebay is a legal contract and he has to buy?? What bothers me even more is the listing fees and the final value fees are more than £100! I need to get the Z sold ASAP because I'm off on my travels soon (through business not pleasure!) Cheers in advance Jon

Go to google and put in Paul C and hit i'm feeling lucky......please don't ban me :D

To what seems to be a good home... Nice to see you again Chunk, and pleasure meeting MickeyB and his pa! What a journey they had/have! I was really sad to see it go on the trailer up the road and out of sight as my family and I have had so much fun and good memories with it. These cars are more than a method of getting from A to B as you all know, they become a big part of your day to day life, and now that's gone I will feel more than a little empty for a while. Well, feeling pretty emotional now (yeah I know... big girls blouse lol) so going to have a beer or 20 to numb it and I will still hang around and maybe see you all at the meets in my old Red Manwell that m…

I know want to upgrade the main dash lighting to the same bright blue scheme. I've been searching for the thread posted some time ago, linking to the SXOC where someone there did theirs, but couldn't find it. So I looked on the SXOC forum directly, and found it, so I thought I'd re-post it up again, http://www.sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=133048&highlight=led Should be able to get this mod done over the winter and post some pics, unless anyone has already done this and cares to post their findings? And so as to help people looking in SEARCH mode, some keywords..... LED, Dash, Lights, mod, bulb :D I think that should cover it!

Since I have had my Z on the road its been fighting me all the way. Took the day off today as the weather was nice went and washed the Z and took it for a drive around the country lanes. So many people asking me what it was or just standing and pointing. was nice to actually enjoy the car instaed of being covered in shite stuck underneith the poxy thing. Took some pics whilst I was out too

as above well done mate :hyper: :hyper:

Well I am bored so thought I would post a picture of my car taken in a famous location and see if anyone can guess where it is. :D

Viscosity Index Improvers. An oils viscosity will decrease as the engine temperature rises. Viscosity Index Improvers are added to reduce this thinning. They are a key addative in the production of multigrade oils. VI Improvers are heat sensitive long chain, high molecular weight polymers that minimise the viscosity loss of the oil at high temperatures. They work like springs, coiled at low temperatures and uncoiling at high temperatures. This makes the molecules larger (at high temps) which increases internal resistance within the thinning oil. They in effect "fight back" against the viscosity loss in the oil. "Shearing" The long chain molecules in …
