General Discussions - Non 300ZX

So I called BT today, and was trying to find out how to cancel my subscription to the Broadband I've had with them for years. I found this other company who were offering a 1 meg line for a good price. So I call them up, and eventually get through to this very helpful young lady who proceeds to tell me that they value my business and they'd like to offer a FREE upgrade to a 1 meg line for me. This will be done within the week and there is no minimum contract! What a nice change to be treated like you are actually important to a company. Only reason I posted this is because a.) I was chuffed with the result and b.) If you have a BT Broadband 512k line…

Went to renew my insurance today (£375.00) with Direct Line (Axa Insurance). Thought I had better inform them that they had sent the renewal for a 300ZX Turbo when mine was a NA. This obviously set alarm bells ringing and the company came back with a "no insurance quote" - because it was an import. I obviously became a little pissed off with this as I clearly stated this when I took the policy out in the first place and it was one of the main things I checked before I bought an import. Anyway, to cut a long story short, insurance was not renewable with AXA and Direct Line could not offer me an alternative. I am 44, in the Royal Navy, have no convictions or accide…

Hi I've just received payment from an ebay buy-it-now customer who has paid instantly by paypal. Now what I normally do is reply to the paypal receipt confirmation email with a thankyou and letting them know their payment was received etc. With this one customer hotmail said their email address doesn't exist :confused: How can you have a working paypal account without the email address being an actual email address? Has anyone experienced this? Is this just unusual or is there something funny going on? I found a different address to reply to in the ebay confirmation email so replied that way, and the paypal payment has appeared in my account. Che…

With Christmas and the bank holidays i've completely forgot what day it is today!

Happy Birthday Mark didnt know you were 43 :tongue: all the best, have a good day :nana2:

Done about 1000 miles on my new engine now and I have been pushing it some :D Took her for a fast drive tonight down the East Lancs where I couldnt floor it all the way becuase it is quite slippy out there. BUT OMG!!!!!!!!! I would say she is faster than she was when I was running 15psi and Im running standard 9psi at the moment. Cant wait to get the Boost Controller on and get a proper map done :D

Just been up to my local Nissan dealers, and not only have they had Christmas off (which I dont begrudge them) but the parts department are now shut for ****ing stock taking!!!! :headvswal So I cant put the engine back together, well I could, but I want some new bolts to replace the rusted ones. I even went to all the trouble of finding all the correct part numbers aswell.

im the only guy on here steve

Hi guys I'm looking for infomation on my old Red '89 300zx TT SWB, i sold it in May 2003 to Semco32, it's reg is G** FBL. It has some unusual features such as gunmetal grey UK spec alloys, plus various bits of red trim and mats in the interior. The main reason for this post is that i never got a chance to take any photo's of the car in its "sold" state after i had done all the mods. I would like to know what my baby has been up to and if the current owner could supply me with any pictures (if it's still on the road). Many thanks in advance Ian (The artist formely known as Atomic)

... on removing stick on graphics cleanly, without taking paint off or leaving any residue?

Hi guys, just having my rad done on the zed so i needed to get to work etc for a couple of days. One of my mates says you can borrow mine if you want. Its a BMW 850 5 litre V12. Not bad but not as fast as my SWB TT. bubbles

[Rant] I arrived at my lockup today where my zed is stored to find the lock all busted. Looks like someone has had a go with a screwdriver :xxx::mad: My key now won't work. The garage is rented from the council who wanted a crime ref number to be able to fix it :rolleyes: What a waste of time - like the police will actually do anything. Looks like they are going to fix it tomorrow which is good, hopefully whichever ****er did it hasn't actually got in and fooked around in there :nono: Although I'd like to have seen the *******s try and drive it off. I checked the other garages in the row and none were damaged, I wonder if someone knew what was in there? :m…

I think mine's the only one I've seen that has the 300ZX "logo" written in huge letters across the side. Is this a Jap only thing and people remove it, or is it something my former Jap friend has put on overseas? I actually quite like it, but was wondering if anyone else has it. Most if not all the pictures I see in your sigs/rides section etc. show no sign of it... AM I THE ONLY ONE?!?!?! lol

just tried glueing down the window vent common problem so tried to fix it used a wooden wedge and its cracked my windscreen im pissed off with the car! more expense i spose its a case of phoneing insurance company any options wish i dident bother to fix it now :slap:

UNLUCKY im not steve
