General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Hi Guys, New to the board, which is excellent by the way. Athe the moment I am giving some very serious thought to buying a ZX. Its probably a dirty word to you guys, but I currently drive a Lexus Soarer 2.5TT and was wondering if any of you can give me some positive feedback on the ZX, compared to the Soarer. Taking a quick look around your board, it seems that the ZX is extremely expensive to maintain. Some help would also be appreciated it what to look out for in terms of problems before I purchase. As an alternative, I may even consider doing a straight swap with my Soarer. Look forward to hearing your considered opinions. Martin

Done to death I know, but lets have another round of spleen venting! :p I'll kick off........ You are sitting in traffic on a major road. As you crawl past the slip road there's always some dickhead who is so desperate to get on that he crosses the chevrons and wedges the bonnet of his car in front of you. Meanwhile 20 other cars have gone up his inside and are now not only in front of you, but also the arsehole who blocked you off!! :slap: :nono: :slap:

I have been pondering recently whether to become a full time trader or not. Obviously I would still be doing my 9-5 but do other Z related things for this and other Z forums. Obviously the general idea is to look after Z owners and offer a good service. As most of you know, I offer the headlight chroming service, which at the moment seems to be on the way up now that I have a consistant supplier. However, my original intention was to just do the headlight chroming for the few people that wanted on the forum and leave it at that. However, it looks like there will be a lot more demand for it and so I will probably be doing it for a good while. In addition, after c…

Im sorry its posted here, but what ya gonna do :D http://www.manzonderkop.be/Post/?P_ID=954 More than likely loads of you have seen it before, but i love it :hyper: :hyper:

as prices are continually going down, does this mean the Zed will soon be concined to car graveyards ? :nelson: does it look dated ? is it too heavy ? thirsty ? expensive to maintain ? :nelson:

Found a site with a fair amount of Z footage on it :D Clever me eh :D http://www.zfilm.org Have a look around - not downloaded any yet cos I'm on works crappy 512k connection shared with a zillion other users. Maybe its time to take the gateway down and be selfish :D

A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit in the early hours of Monday 24th May 2004. Epicentre: Basildon, Essex. Victims were seen wandering around aimless muttering "faaackinell" . The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costa's were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giro arrived. Essex FM (County Radio Station)reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happene…

Can you add those two rubber bonnet-cushioning adjustable twisty things (RBCATTs) to my package please :slap:;) Cheers Pete

Just had a 'remote start' alarm fitted to my Z, well impressed and chuffed with the setup....... Paid £30 extra for full closure window 'lifters' to be added (i.e. closes the windows when alarm is armed) I paid £250 for the full system, dropped it off this morning and picked it up at 4pm. :D The place is called Motorguard and it's located in Birmingham, if anyone wants the details let me know and I'll pass them on. They also do re-trims and ICE installs too.....got some plans for the rear of my Z now too!! LOL Matty.

If i wanted to see if someone still owned their house, is there a website that i can go into and enter the address details etc and search ?? cheers smithy

ChrisC is gonna be on TV, Mac was in max power (was him wasnt it?), somebody else was on location location, anybody else had thier fifteen minutes yet? to start the ball rolling I had the dubious pleasure of being on Bravo in a program called "mission paintball" a few years back which for some reason was endlessly bloody repeated on various sky/cable channels up until about a year ago...
