General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Well chasing power can get you in the shit and that is a fact LOL! What a fookin day, Had 9 power runs on the rollers today for some real time maps and gained another 98bhp in doing so :dance: So Chunk Paul and Peter if you think it was fast before then think again :dance: However not all good news. As we were on the rollers, Pete noticed how the manifolds were glowing bright orange with the heat, the next power run and we hit 186mph in 5th gear and the fookin oil feed pipe to the mechanical gauge explodes causing nice hot RS 10/60 to squirt all over the turbo and manifolds and within 3 seconds we have 12 inch flames that half fill my engine bay :smash: Thank …

OK... here's a tough question. I need to make a Ferrerro Rocher pyramid (like in the advert "Why ambassador, you really spoiling us" etc). Any idea how to make one? It must be functional (ie can be passed round, people take one and eat it). Should I use glue - if so what sort? Should there be some sort of cone of polystyrene inside to bulk it out? Has anyone done this before? Any ideas? Cheers gents! :dance: :dance:

Well today I have been mostly degreasing the engine bay-fookin oil everywhere!! Anyhow, finished the mounts off and removed any stuff out of the bay to paint it-glad that's out the way! Also got a power steering pump from a american breakers up the road-handy eh'? It's off a Corvette and for the life of me I can't figure out where it mounts! :rolleyes: Any way todays progress................ Can ya' guess what the colours gonna be? LOL!

Just downloaded the 300zx manual and was wondering if anyone wants it. the whole 36.9mb of it. (am guessin it the whole thing as it got 194 pages just for the Auto gearbox.) Its a WINRAR archive. I know u can see it on the internet but handy to have it. If anybody wants it i can send it via msn. feel free to add me as a contact: andre2811460@hotmail.com N300TT

OK, went to try what Mac told me over the phone about bleeding the rad, seemed to take ages to fill with water, then noticed puddle on the floor, underneath theres a nice steady trickle of water :( now I'm hoping that means one of my pipes has burst. After fillin it i squeezed one of the rad pipes and it crunched, i assume thats just coz its brittle and old and possibly whats causing the whole problem. Engine oil not milky, so hopefully headgasket ok All advice and wizdom welcome cheers Mike

Well sorted the engine mounts, fairly easily-see below :cool: Just got to fully weld and strengthen em' a bit! Done the tranny mount as well, bit of a pain, would of been quicker fabricating one from scratch, but it's done now-Nissan/Toyota hybrid :smash: And it fits!! :dance:

Hi guys, I'm just about to order a new broadband connection through Nildram and will need to buy new equipment. The current setup is 2 desktops and one laptop, each with their own dial-up modem. It is my intention to set up a wireless network and have the three share one broadband connection. I've been looking at some Linksys gear which has been recommended to me by a friend. However, having never set up or worked with a wireless network I'm a little confused as to what gear I actually require and how it is all connected. I'm looking at buying a 108Mbit "gateway", 108Mbit PCI card for each desktop and a 108Mbit PCMCIA card (these are all so called "speed bo…

no offence intended but am sure the ladies will appreciate this :rofl: My boyfriend, not happy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods. When I'm n a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a big ******* red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond. My husband came home with a tube of KY jelly and said, "This will make you happy tonight." He was right. When he went out of the bedroom, I squirted it all over the doorknobs. He couldn't get back in. A couple are lying in bed. The man says, "I am going to make you the happiest woman in the…

Help! :cry: My Girlfriend has just gone for her final year at uni and I'm missing her loads already so have decided to get a webcam to use with MSN to help ease the pain! I don't want to spend more than £30 odd but want the best spec possible. I have noticed some come with a built in microphone, are they any good or a waste of money? If they were nice and clear then it would save me using all my free mins on my mobile contract! Can any of you computer tech guys point me in the right direction to a decent webcam? Thanks, Justin:)

I was sitting bored in front of the tele tonight. So I thought I would watch Kill Bill 1 & 2. Enjoyed it very much BUT! to my suprise i had never noticed when I had watched it the last time the appearance of one of my favourite characters? The Nissan 300ZX. Not just a glimpse niether. It was a nice dark blue one. featured in the 1st movie and in the credits at the end of the 2nd. Sorry if this has been mentioned before but it was nice to see. :cool:
