General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Just installed new black ink cartridge into my mothers Lexmark X1180, but there is no black ink coming out on test print. Tried old nearly empty one back in to test, and black ink was there then. Reinstalled new one, and nothing. WTF is all that about?? anyone? cheers

just discussed the heat that builds up in the engine bay with a pal who is involved with mechanical design...he said when cooling a hot space you enclose it (except for an entrance / exit) use an intake hole to match the biggest/fastest fan you can fit in and thereby create the largest draft possible into the space which needs cooling....any enlargment of the fan intake holes ie by fitting modified bumpers adding grills etc only reduces draft and the effect of cooling goes down with it...or to put it this way the worst way to cool your PC is to take the side panels off as the fan cant circulate a draft with no sides...or your bonnet if it was a car...however the calculati…

Just booked a rail ticket to Slough to collect my car on Friday. Not meaning to sound in the least bit racist or politically incorrect. But I just spent nearly 30 mins trying to book a simple journey. Could I understand the bloke on the other end of the line? Could I hell. I lost my patience with him totally in the end. Didn't mean to, but he had such a strong Indian accent, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. Poor chap... Something like that needs people that can speak clearly. My brain is now pickled! Not only that, but the NRE gave me totally the wrong information than the Great Western call centre and trying to pick up their pieces f…

... actually not its not. Sorry was bored and wanted to waste some of your time :tongue: :slap:

just noticed, clocked up 6000 posts tonight :dance: at least none of them are by whoring :tongue:

made you look :tongue:

I've been to see Steve today and discussed colours etc... All I need to do now is finalise my colour choice and arrange a date with him and the car will go in for the respray. He showed me some of the work he has done and it looks fantastic. In all fairness I have got a colour in mind and he's going to do some test sprays on a larger scale that the colour charts and we will see if it will look okay on the car. Fingers crossed, I'm very excited. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Found these on my phone from jae, forgot I`d taken then.

Did the Castle Combe trackday yesterday. Bloody brilliant!. It was my first time on track so a real eye opener. The car went great, the engine didn't even seem that hot and I was ragging the hell out of it. The stock breaks on the other hand were a pile of sh*t!! I've got my new brembos but didn't have time to fit them. I didnt want to encounter problems and not have the car ready for the trackday (one way op as I've got to drill the mounting holes out). They were fine for the first round of laps (10-15 mins). I had a good spin out coming out of quarry corner (very tricky corner, saw a picture of a porshe from last month literally 10ft in the air and spinning!! driver wal…

Think I'm going to have to admit defeat and go into hospital. For those that don't know, I've got Crohns pretty badly and am sat here able to type, pain free for the first time today (Morphine patch and Pethidine'd up to the hilt...thank you Mr Controlled drugs manufacturer) but knowing it's only going to last 2-3 hours before it all comes back. I HATE going into fVcking hospital (I miss being on here for a start, Lol!). Would've gone in on Friday but with the weekend looming it's the last place I wanted to be...I call it the Deadzone...skeleton staff, a cast iron guarantee that nothing will be done till Monday and junior doctors that our more likely to fVck things up tha…

I know a few threads have popped up about this recently, but today I have just started a new job within the same company servicing and repairing various things at well known superstores throughout the UK. Now I'm useless reading a map, and they only get you to the town you need to be in, nevermind getting you to the store. Today I went to Saffron Walden, Newmarket and Cambridge, and fook me if the bloke I was following learning the job from didn't have a GPS we'd have no chance. So, what I need is something cheap and cheerful that tells me via audio and 3d screen where I need to go. His one was a phone and GPS so no good to me. Does anyone have any advice…

:smash: :smash: :smash:

anyone heard anything about the above brand name subs? (FLI) halfrauds are selling a 12inch boxed sub and amp for £99.00. (plus extra 35 for the fitting kit, wires etc). these are supposedly made by vibe, so the 17 yr old spotty halfrauds boy racer wannabe claims. ;)

bloke at work just told me his dad wears a new pair of socks everyday and chucks em in the bin at night !! Yes everyday !!!! So thats 365 pairs of socks he chucks away every year !! i think a bit eccentric if u ask me !!

Newby question here ... Would the 3.5 litre fit the 300ZX ?? Is it worth it or is it just a larger bore, does anyone know of an overbored 300zx thats up to 3.5 litres ?? Or should I just get me coat ???? :nana2:

i went away for the weekend and have about 1hr and half of footage which i have just transferred to my computer and its HUGE !! cant even get 5 mins onto a disk. The disks i have are 700mb and the footage in total is around 100kb !! How can i reduce it to get it onto a cd ??

Hi ya bud, just wondered who did the louvers on your bonnet, or does anyone know who else can do these?

Sat at work....in which I have a whole 2 weeks. Nil motivation other than the thought that I'm getting my Zed on Friday. Boss hasn't paid me for last week. So sent him a snotty email earlier...no response. Still not sure if this cheque will clear on Friday for me to be able to collect the Zed.....if not, then I have to wait till Monday!! I want to go to the meet on Sunday as well....let's just hope it does clear. 5 working days, paid in on Monday...in theory, should be cleared by Friday. Knowing my luck...something will go wrong. /end of rant. :mad:
