General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Well me!!!! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: My new son was born yesterday at 19.47, weighing....get this.... 9lbs 10 oz!! Came out c-section 'cos my missus ain't no bucket!! He's already been taught about Air Induction Valves and 3000 mile oil changes. I have a feeling he'll be learning to drive in a 30 year old Z car! Am sooooooo happy!!! As well as pissed on Sloe gin ATM, but there you go. And he's a real Mini-me. Big nose, blue eyes, big legs and a huge c**k!!!!! That's me boy!

Just go to your local swiming pool and watch any regular couple having an arguement then making up - for about an hour. :nono: I was tempted to ask the cinema manager for my £6.40 back.

Got an Mp3 player for the car. When making a disk of MP3's, is it possible to use tunes that have been copied from a CD? ie, can they be changed from WMA to MP3? Not too hot at this stuff. Cheers Scott

Got a question I thought I'd throw open to the forum. Was chatting with parental unit#1 today and found out she would really like to change her car. By her own admission she doesn't spend money on going out/shopping/holidays etc but the one thing she does like having is a "nice" motor, and likes it to be noticed. At the moment she's driving a BMW 5 series which appeals because it's "quick" when she needs it to be (yes, she is a bit of a speed merchant at times!:D), she feels safe in it and it's got a "stylish", comfy interior. She's always bought from new and is decidedly untrusting of second hand cars but I'm starting to bring her round on this point! None of us are what…

I've had my 200SX now for coming up 10years. It's still a joy to drive and has had basically nothing go wrong with it in all those years. I'm toying with the idea of a change (at long last). I thought of getting a Honda S2000, but was rather disappointed in them. So the next idea is maybe save £10000 and instead get a 300ZX. Has anyone driven/owned both of these vehicles (an S13 and 300ZX) who can give me some idea of how they compare. Is the 300ZX noticably faster for example? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated... I believe the last 300ZXs were sold here about 96/97? So that would mean having to buy a 7-8yr old car I guess :(

An old aston? (oops wrong link! DOH, working noW!)

Where I can get a 99spec front for a good price. Im not into paying a few hundred quid for a fake-un. Cheers Steve

Hi guys, thought I ought to introduce my self. Have had a J Spec 300 TT Auto for about 4 years now. It has seen better days and has been off the road for 18months. In october it is having a make-over. Respray, bodykit, wheels, ecu, big breaks etc, so it can then come out to play. Good to see a site full of like minded people. Anyone based in Lincolnshire by the way Fitzy :hyper:

:rofl: my dash looks like an arcade machine once i had the RSM, AFC2, boost gauge and turbo timer fitted!

Well Chris??

Was going to wish him best of luck in his new employment tommorow, but I expect he's tucked up in bed ready for he's first day.

Hey guys, I was on my way to Southport in my Fiat Bravo on saturday to see some mates and was going accross the Hightown bends (Anyone round this area will know that they are really slippy when wet) and they got the better of me. The rain was pissing it down and i was proceding with caution, only doing 25 around a right hand corner when my front wheels hit a pile of mud in the road which i didnt see, anyway they started spinning but unfortunatly the car carried on going forward. I managed to force the steering to full right lock and put my foot down to try and pull the front of the car to the right to avoid the big fooking ditch infront of me! Luckery the car just…

just spent the weekend in manchester looking for houses for my g/f to move into for her uni course. ended up in a premiere lodge fri night cos couldnt find a decent one. everything went well, receptionist gave us room 321 (£64 for double room and breakfast!!! cant complain) so up we went in the lift, found the room, popped the card in, opened the door, staggered in (cos we were worn out from house-hunting), looked round and realised the room was full of clothes and stuff!!! left the room pretty quick, went down to reception and was told there had been a mistake and the room was being used! Christ how lucky were we? it was 7.30pm. what if there had been someone in th…

Well I Was keeping it quiet as you know what happens when you tell people stuff that hasnt hapened yet, it goes wrong! Anyway through word of mouth a chap come to see my car last week and loved it. He said he would have the cash this weekend and come to buy it. Anyways, phones me up, he was supposed to collect it today, tells me he cant get all the money and wants me to give it to him for 2k less and he will give me the money at a later date!!!!! I told him basically to fook off. He didnt like it and I said all the money at once or no car!!!! ****ing idiot, a mate maybe a total ****ing stranger no way. Didnt like his attitude either, he seeme…

Humph.......nuff sed

Got my tax finally this morning. Its amazing what a week without the zed does to you. Yesterday I had thoughts of getting shot of it, but having drove the Mazda 323 all week, then jumping in the zed this morning, it felt like I was driving a battering ram with a few rocket boosters on it. Scary sh$t! So my message to you all is when you think your getting fed up with the zed, take it off the road for a week. Then get stuck back in, and feels like the first day you got it all over again. Dont know how some of you go months with em off the road. :) AL (happy once more)

Sitting on the internet in Ibiza, looking over the hotel pool, loads of very VERY fit ladys everywhere I look in tiny swimwear. Hows the UK??? :tongue: :tongue:

Anyone got this? I got the wired kit for my Pocket PC, and I've just tried it out. Well, I sat on the drive and plugged it in because I've had a couple of beers. It did seem to find my location OK, but came up with a Petrol station in Scotland when I messed with the 'find' feature. Does it work? Is it any good? Seems to be a good cheapo way of getting SatNav and I'll still be able to use the pocket PC out the car. The main thing is- does it actually stop you getting lost? Does anyone ever need to use SatNav, or are you going to fast to look at the screen!

(even tho i tried to tell him that dump valves and turbo t…
