Anyone know the spec/condition of this crashed Z? Sorry tried to add better pics, I will try and move them to the end.

Got home from work today, and UPS had tried to deliver this, I'd only just missed them by 20 mins as well :( , but he'd left his mobile number, so rang him and he said he'd be back in about 10 mins :D It looks very nice, especially as it's in Japanese Cherry Wood :hyper: Cant wait to get it in the Zed :cool: Here's another pic showing the patten, It's the proper right-hand-drive version, but delivered from the US. If anyone is interested i got it from This Guy ( I'll let you know how it goes on.

Was reading through the missus's police force newspaper last night, read an interesting atricle that did get my back up a little... Was about the case to prosecute some chaps over an artic car transporter that had crap brakes and left the road killing a 78 year old woman in southampton. The whole case took 10,400 man hours of police work, cost 10's of thousands of pounds, invloved several searches of the transport companies premisis and rock solid evidence was found that the two owners of the company had falsified service records for the vehicle in question. (they even admitted to it and pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice) the end result was…

Just placed an order with these guys for heatshrink and (proper) harness tape. They also do other stuff that could be of interest to people who are doing wiring mods etc. They do connectors, crimps, the proper tools, fuses, lamps and a lot more! Find them at http://www.autosparks.co.uk/ PS - Don't be put off by the fact that they cater for the Classic Car market, some of the stuff could still be of use to us with our cars.

Does anyone know when the next big show is and where. I dont get the chance to go to them all but i have alot of work to do the zed before i take it to the next show. Cheers Eddie

Is it just me or does this search seem to be taking alot longer than before?

fed up of this, going to the pub! :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

There are 41 members with a user name starting with either David or Dave!!! Not to mention the others with either somewhere else in their name, and the David's or Dave's that that have a different user name! :D Is this a record, is there another well used name on the forum? I must have been bored to look that up :rolleyes: :tongue:

Is there a Club discount with Tesco as quite a few of the Zeds spotted over the country are either close to, have just left, have been to TESCO'S ffs...... Am I right or wrong here :tongue: Cheers John Crisp

Anyone go to MPH 04??? The misses bought me a ticket (Full point to her :bow: ) We both went and it was super! Not like the usual car show where you need bino's to see the car. You could clamber over nearly all the cars except the new Ferraris and the old Bentleys. Even the Enzo and Lambo's allowed peeps to sit in them. Annoyed when the Chavs pitched up with their Burberry caps only to say, its got 20 inch wheels, innit! :xxx: New 350Z convertable was there, fantastic! Ordered a broche even though I'll never afford one. LOL Clarkson, Needel and Richard Hammond's show was spectacular!!! A full hour and half of petrol head madness! Even destroyed a caravan :hyper: …

Ive been trying to add a couple of pics to my rides section, but once downloaded the pics show as 0 in size. Anyone else having problems, or is it just me. Barry.

Any chance Mr gorves can post some site stats in comparison with this time last year? During the week i log in at roughly the same time in the evening and do a search for new posts, it used to bring back between 100 and 110 on average per day, now it seems to only bring back 80 to 85. Are we losing members? or is there just a decline in posts?

was rummaging through the kaze site mentioned in another thread, found this monstrosity!!! :shock:

Reading the paper this morning, innocent you might think then i spot an argos ad oohhhhh my brain says look at that tosh 20" LCD TV for only £399 thats mega mega cheap mmmmmmm LCD You see then my brain starts to convince me i need one and comes up with the argument that i only mensioned it to the wife a few days ago about getting one and she didnt really say no so that must mean yes!! :rolleyes: :p Oh and when i got there they had them signal senders thingies with money off so i think to myself well ive already spent £400 another £60 wont hurt...lol I'm sure when she gets back in a few hours she will be as happy with…

My mundano is lervly, however i want a cheap Z as a TOY, any offers>? Cheers

:dance: Fitted 4 new dust caps, my new key ring & tax holder. Bet my insurance goes through the roof now it's not standard :rofl:

Im planning on popping down to micheldever tyres to get a proper 4wheel tracking job done, has anybody been there before with thier zed? couple of local places couldnt do the job cos the zed was too low and they couldnt get it on thier ramps (not lowered, just a 99 spec front end?!?!?!) didnt want to drive all the way there to find they have the same problem!

A mate of mine has just bought one of these things that plugs into the cigarette lighter, and he wants to tidy up the wiring and was asking about connecting it directly to the batttery: Can you do this or is there voltage/current issues, anyone ever done this??? Cheers, Rob

Whats the difference on here between trader an affiliates? As far as I can see traders pay and affiliates dont, do affiliates have to hand over a percentage or something?

Nissan won the GT500 title, the Nismo 350Z beating the SARD Toyota Supra into 2nd place! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: Watched the (almost) live coverage of the final (official) round on Motors TV last night - cracking race! The M-TEC NSX took the GT300 title, for those that are interested. http://www.jgtc.net/race/2004/04srank/04sranking2_en.htm
