General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Well after spending hooooooooooooooooge amounts of zedtonions on a decent skyline gtr brake upgrade i figured I needed a brake brace to match. Ive seen the strut braces with one built in and liked the extra strength this had over the normal brake braces around but was looking for saving weight in the future and already had a strut brace so I needed a seperate unit. Well my engine buildng buddy was good enough to spare some of his time on saturday to design and make one up for me in the name of bLiNg :dance: He chose an all alloy machined body with a pivoted Stainless Steel pressure plate to ensure maximum and even spread of pressure onto the brake cylinde…

If you use MSN Instant Messenger, be aware that a new worm called Kelvir is targeting IM users. It can detect the language being used by your computer and send messages in English, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish, and several other languages. The worm sends a message from infected systems to everyone in your contacts list, which contains a link to a Web site that will download "backdoor" software on the system of whomever clicks on it. All versions of Windows are affected. Read more about it here: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/i/z/iti/pri/728/hdr-toolkit-virusesspam.jpg

Are people ready for Blueyonder broadband next speed increase. Has any one heard anything about it? I have and cant wait. :D Fortunatly the Wigan area has always been a testing area. I heard I should get the increase in september and then every one just after new year.

Mmm... Cobra Daytona Coupe... :bow: http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=52&i=11694 Keep bouncing betwen this and the GT40 as my favourite car, but this usually just wins out of being a little less well-known...

Okay, this is no speed/acceleration question :p I'm wondering, which is more sustainable? I know you can break the manual in two seconds if you like, but in every day use, what do you think?

Well, what should i do????????? ;) :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Was reversing into the driveway about an hour ago like I do every day - pitch black (the driveway is surrounded on 3 sides) when: bump, bump, CRACK, BANG BANG. Stop the car sharpish, ease forward slightly to get CRACK, BANG, GROAN (not from me) Look up at the skies with that "oh God what have I done now" sort of look. Heart stopped for about 3 seconds. Went round the back and the nearside section of the rear bumper had bent almost 180 degrees back over itself - it had got caught on a fence post! :cry: :cry: :cry: It was still trapped against the fence enough for me to be unable to fix it, so had to pull forward (tried turning left to bring the rear out a little). THUM…

Just seen a Zed spayed suburu metallic blue.... Dont like it: Its an insult: NOooooooooooo http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-300zx-3ltr-v6-none-turbo-2-2-may-swap-or-px_W0QQitemZ4572149799QQcategoryZ18238QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Finally came home from hospital last night...and it feels good to be back! :D Was almost touch and go as to whether I got released as the Junior Doc who wrote up my TTO's (i.e. the drugs I get sent home with, Lit: "To Take Out"! Makes it sound like a fast food order!) who could barely speak a word of English and who had major difficulty following what the team was saying, neglected to include the most important part of my prescription...the painkillers! Bit of a bugger when they're controlled drugs, it's gone 7pm and the pharmacy is closed! Luckily the nurses were on the ball and sorted it, Gawd Bless 'em! :) Got to go back on Tuesday for an MRI which they had …

Nightmare! After three weeks off I'm back at work, living on camp again. Oh well can't complain too much, at least I had 3 weeks off (lucky, lucky bast**d, I havn't had....etc). And now I'm back on broadband! Yipee Let the post whoring commence!! Dave

Its been posted on here somewhere and announced on Top Gear that the police have said they are not installing any more speed traps/cameras. But i have seen new ones on the M1 near leicester and new ones on the M6 at stoke and M6 Coventry side of Brum? and thats all in the last 2 or 3 weeks? I know nothing can be done about it but WTF is going on in this 5hite country full of lieing cooonts? The cameras are those p0xy ones that count you in and then count you out and average the speed you were doing.

Just been looking at cars in this weeks Japanese Auctions. Saw a 350Z with a different front bumper, in my opinion it looks 10X better than the standard car. See here http://www.streetneeds.com/uploads/auser/350Zmodified.jpg http://www.streetneeds.com/uploads/auser/350Zmodified2.jpg

I would have loved to go out for a spin in the Zed but my Mrs had other plans; so when the Zed got put on the back drive we put up a marquee and got married......Again ! 15 years on. So as i said to Scubie who was there i would put some pics up of his very drunk girl friend ! She was ratted :duffer: :duffer: The first one is of my darling long suffering wife ! :bow: The second is Graeme and his rarther pissed up girl friend; she is a nutter. As you can see from his face he was sober(was driving) The third is me wearing a jacket of PA's and peoples girl friends ! :tongue: So i did not get to go out in my Zed at weekend; but hell th…

I was quite impressed with these wheels, so I made up this to see what they'd look like... What do you think?... They are 18" x 7.5", with the correct offset (43 mm) and PCD (5 x 114.3)
