General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Well, a few of you on here know how long it took for me to find the wheels I have now but...................these came up and I couldn't resist. They are 19" Racing Hart CX's...........John-boy has good taste! 9" fronts and 10" rears. Just a quick Q for anyone, I have got a pair of Eagle F1 225/35's, will they be ok for fronts? I know 235's are ideal but these 225's have come up and I can't really afford new one's now!!! Be ok won't they?

just washed and waxed her - good excuse to post up some pictures :nana2:

Just want to say thanks to Matt and his Dad for helping me out in such a big way to fit my clutch and flywheel and various other goodies to my car yesterday. :bow: We encountered all kinds of problems and after over 12 hours work I finally drove it away at 1 am this morning. Hope your hand is ok mate and your Dads for that matter, can't believe you both cut your hands undoing the same bolt! The car runs so much better for the lightweight flywheel too, what an awesome mod! :hyper: :dance: I owe ya big time mate, looks like the drinks will be on me for enternity! :duffer: Thanks again fella:) Justin

What was the 1st car you ever owned? Mine was an austin allegro, Heap of SH*T but i thought it was the BO**OCKS at the time! AHHHH Fond memories!

Sorry but I don't think so. OK its all a matter of opinion. BUT! I am really getting to dislike Top Gear now-a-days. I used to admire the opinions of those involved but they can pi55 off now. Not just because of this but so many other things that arrise from the show. IMO............. :tongue: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/coolwall/uncool.shtml

.....went into the only Nissan garage I saw and asked about the 300ZX......he looked at me as if I had just asked him to fix a plasma core leak on the Enterprise !!!! Mark

Have a good one Tony,I spoke to you today and you never let on Bud.Hope you get a Zed for a prezzy......Vinz

Please don't make me cry :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Have a good one matey, will buy you a cuppa at the pod on Sunday!! Take care Rich :cool:

I think that the led lights on modern cars look smart but was wondering if you could get them for the Z but not the round style, strip lights to replace the standard fitting rear lights??? I think that would look the *****cks. Anybody know where or if you can get them.

Decided I would do my windows, the tints on the ST200 were very practical. It kept my daughter from being blinded by the sun in the back and without the need to have some nasty sun shades suckered to the windows! I also liked the fact it was loads more private. I was tempted to have a go myself, but I have seen a lot of people who have tried this nd ****ed it up good and propper. Not saying I will but I know it's a hard job. So, is there anyone on here who could give me some advice on it? or anyone who could do it for me for a good price ;) Cheers Steve

Some pics from the past months progress...she's ready for fluids now and then off to the paint shop :d : :hyper:

Was damn good fun! :dance: Met KrsMayo, Black Magic and Hexaking up there, they all brought their Zeds along, went on a Bling tour of their Zeds lol ;) Saw Takemetothepub briefly as well. So we were waiting to get in the show and they were vetting all the cars this time, and to cut a long story short this huge bloke comes along and says to the stewards "Yep those two are definately in" So Me and Darren go round and are let in to the stunned looks of all the other cars waiting to move on after being turned away and others waiting to be vetted :tongue: Although quite how some of these cars were supposed to be in a show I don't know, some of them were standard …

Just been down the shop for a loaf of bread the car felt like it was made of jelly ,got home looked under the rear and n/s steering arm just hanging there. Forking hell I had the wife and kids in it yesterday going down a empty east lancs road :shock: if you know what I mean.Another job for this week :hyper: the wife love this car NOT

ok on the sheet that came with the tickets it says helmets can be hired at castle coombe - anyone got any idea how much???

Must be a joke!!!

on my bro's mr2 coming home 2day, the radio just cut out while driving, then when i used the wipers they were very slow, then the rev counter cut out and the car just bout limped home, tried to start car again but the battrey was dead!! charged the battrey then started the car and put a voltmeter across the terminals i had 11.55 volts but they were slowly decreasing went down to 11.50 volts in bout 10 secs!! disconected the battrey as the car was running and it just cut out!! shouldent the car stil run when you disconect the battrey?? i know its not good for the alternator but it proves it is working, i think that the car is running off the battre…

What do you all think? Amazing what a bit of TLC and some new rims does for the Zed! I'm well happy, and she's all ready for the Southend Show tonight :hyper: I'll post some pics up of how it went next week :)

... during the credits at the end of Kill Bill Volume 2 immediately after the credit for Lucy Liu (O-Ren Ishii aka Cottonmouth) and Sonny Chiba (Hattori Hanzo) the next clip shows a dark blue Z32 moving into shot from the left-hand side of the screen being driven by Julie Dreyfus (Sofie Fatale) so this car must also appear in Volume 1 although I honestly can't remember since it's so long since I've seen the first part.

Hope they are as good looking as they are in pici. take a look.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23012&item=7974331668&rd=1 I must stop spending my only relief is that i am declaring the Z off the road end of this month to save on tax and insurance while i make it my own ;)

Item in post, sorry for the delay completly forgot about it mate.

Well, I've just been out to the local petrol station to refil the ZX's tank.... .....Cost me £61.46 :shock: I think the most it's cost me until now was around £55 :( I got a shock when it first broke the £50 barrier but this is rediculous :mad: Richard

Cheques are now in postbox on their way to you. Vijay: Boost Leak Detector Smithy: Hard Pipe Kit Just to let you know they are in my Business Envelopes "Zee Interiors" just incase you think they are junk mail when they turn up lol. Smithy sent you a credit card cheque as could not find my new cheque book, got one on order as last one seems to have gone missing. Should be fine but never used cc cheques before.
