General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Right then, I have decided that this weekend is it and I am going to get the car sorted. This includes: - 1. Removing old Engine Loom and fitting new one 2. Replacing viscose fan 3. Replacing solenoid behind the dash for the heater to work 4. Fixing the Accelerator Linakge (So the car doesn't kill me) 5. Replacing front caliper 6. Fitting new plenum 7. Changing spark plugs 8. Oil change 9. Coolant change God that list looks depressing!!! :cry: So anything I should know about the above, before I start ripping the car apart ?

Hey, am new to the forum and wanted to say hello. Have just sold a '94 RX7 (as the fuel economy was killing me at 13mpg) and am now on the hunt for a 300ZX. It seems the whole jap scene is in a bit of a depression at the moment, so I figure its not a bad time to buy. So, I'll be kicking about, and reading a lot (try and get myself up to speed). And of course, if you have a 92-94 lightly modded TT (pref SWB), with a decent interior and some UK service history - let me know :) Rowly

Hi all, Can anyone suggest a good Media player that will play MP4s? I'm using Windows Media Player version 10 but it doesn't play MP4s and I get a lot of codec errors. Thanks Vijay

Just opened my back door and there was a huge buzzard sitting on the garden table about three foot away. Awesome birds, going to have to get myself a pet shitehawk (def :- any large bird with big sharp beak and claws). Dave

I Kinda like this apart from the silly stripes. :rolleyes:

Had a good moment earlier, a huge rain cloud came over complete with thunder and lightning, and produced an awesome rainbow. The picture doesn't do it justice but still: Dave

im currantly in the middle of fitting 225mm skyline discs and mit evo 6 calipers, brackets need to be made for these to fit but works out alot cheaper than r33 gtr calipers if you can find them, the evo calipers are just as good if not better and alot more freely avalable.i will post pics in a day or 2. If anyone wants a set of these brackets made up i can arrange this though the engineering place that made mine.

I've always had a 'pay as you go' mobile I'm going to get a contract one tomorrow - probably some sort of simple tariff for about £30 a month. Any advice as to what network / phone to get? I know f-all about mobile phones! Cheers gents :dance:

Are they good? :hyper: Its got to be a place to get away from the front wheel drive dick heads that hang around halfords n Mc Ds car parks :xxx: something they cant do :tongue:

Was just wondering mate, how does tuning the Zed to such a high level compare to other cars such as the Skyline and the likes. I know the excepted wisdom is that the skyline can be tuned easier blah,blah and all that, but what is the reality in your experience. What could you get for the price you've paid out on yours? and how would it compare power/drivability/cost-to-maintain wise. Dave

as above has anybody got the z logo in dfx format wich can be transferred to a cnc mill cheers

anyone else watching basic instinct tonite omg that gratious beaver shot shplumph im watching it got some great acting (ahem cough cough lol)

Declared the Z SORN last night as of 1st of Sept, so I guess now I've really got no excuse to get started pulling it to bits. Looks quite daunting when you see the job list!

Hi everyone Sorry to join up only to ask for some advice but I was wondering if there was a way of being able to tell whether or not the front calipers are the lighter weight alloy ones the heavier cast ones? I am thinking about buying a pair but want the alloy ones: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?p=1802839#post1802839 Also what sort of price is reasonable for a pair of these? Thanks

Cheers mate , recieved same as these this morning !! top bit of kit !! :dance: :dance:

Whilst sorting my central locking this morning, I've finally found the fault with my drivers side 'lecky window! Heres the symptons...... Play with unit, put back in car door, test all is fine, put door back together. Drive with window down, park, wind window up, all OK. Come back to car, press button NOTHING!!!! :headvswal Start all over again. Well I couldn't find anything wrong, until today, I very closly examined one of the output connections on the PCB, and it just moved a very tiny bit!!! A dry joint!! Soldering iron out, re-solder joint (after cleaning it first) and 'Hey-Presto!' it works :D Well it's all back togather now, so fingers crossed ;)

:shock: what are you manx like....! PS i have made a very slight edit to the original bbc news story.... :p

Maybe it's a bit faster than a standard Zed, but it's sooo ugly and dating badly. Can't understand it! Like: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/94-TOYOTA-SUPRA-TWIN-TURBO-UK-MANUAL-NOT-RX7-300ZX_W0QQitemZ4568723466QQcategoryZ18290QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Wouldn't have one. :hurl:

When Jonce went in the army, he was a normal part of the community, but due to the stress of being in so many male only showers, this is now how he walks our streets.......... I urge you not to confront him, as he is armed and very sexually frustrated!
