General Discussions - Non 300ZX

I've paid my £20 and am a full member now :dance: I've stuck a couple of pics of my car in the 'rides' section if anyone's interested. (I've since changed the front numberplate to a import-style one). Also, what powers do I have on the forum now I'm fully paid up? I'm keen to 'boss' the place and muscle in on the snout racket. ;)

i went to open my lunch box morning and instead of my usual mixture of chocalate bars and crisps i found raw mushrooms, cucumber and tomatoes. I think my mum is trying to poison me :(

...on powder coated brake disks - anyone interested? :dance: :rofl:

Welcome back mate, did you get it? ;) You know...the thing! :)

I decided to wander over to GTROC the other day as I needed some info on Skyline lights. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/showthread.php?t=27002 Apart from a couple of decent guys they haven't exactly been falling over themselves to help with what is a fairly simple question! I get a distinct, "Yer not from round here ar ya boy?" atmosphere. You can almost hear the twang of a distant banjo...;) :rofl: Anyway, would anyone on here be able to find out the sizes for R33/R34 rear lights? Cheers, Leigh.

quick Question guys. does any of you know where to get stillen bodykits from? and also wingswest rear bumpers? thanx -T-

PistonHeads NW Dave is a thouroughly nice bloke, even when I was pestering him over the weekend :D Got my new Series II PTU this morning :dance: , and am well impressed, just gota get around to fitting it now. Thank you very much Dave.

After some impromptu modifying by a Fiat Punto on Sunday, the rear of my Zed needs some major work. :( Looking on the bright side, this is the perfect time to sort my tail lights out.:D Was wondering if people wouldn't mind posting pics of their fiat/"lambo"/LED conversions as I don't think I'm alone in thinking it would be interesting to see a side by side comparison, both from a "looks" point of view and for size (I mean, how much actually bigger are the lambo lights compared to the Fiat units?). Maybe a shot straight on of the whole back end, a close-up and a three-quarters view? Would be really appreciated guys :) Cheers, Leigh.

not many as errrrr there wasnt many there.

Be aware, be very aware!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/?http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/ae_news_story.php?id=49696 Nick :cool:

Well it's 01:40 - been at work for 2 hours. Have just powered up and flown out a multi million pound Apache Flight Simulator - what a great job. Does anyone else enjoy their job????? Also had a good blast in the Zed today with the Targa panels out.

Paul300zx took the mammouth journey down from Edinburgh last night and picked up the car. 4 hours from Sheffield to Edinburgh aint bad at all. Will be picking up my Cav Sri next weekend - can't wait. :( Good luck to everyone and their Zs and I should be sticking around to provide any help i can. Cos

Well - had a phone call from the guy who bought my Zed (I have urged him to join here). Well he told me he had a problem with one of the cylinders - apparently a spark plug broke off and damaged it -so its down on compression. God knows how that happened, new plugs were put in when I bought the car. Poor guy - he's been quoted £800 for the repair job. geoff.

well shes back on the road after a front end strip , new water pump and thermo and a couple of nice shinney hard pipes (thanks smithy ). unfortunatly i missed the trax day, hope all who went had a good day (must of been hot ) look forward to hearing your stories and pics from trax :cool: :cool: :cool:

Guys, I thought about this the other day. Last year I had a new torque convertor and Gearbox supplied and fitted by VMTP, excellent it was, but now, it seems as though the Torque Convertor is getting noisy?!? Well the noise is coming from that area anyway? Its going back to VMTP on the 1st of October.... Back to my point, The auto box needs an ECU, Oil Cooler, Oil pump etc etc etc etc whereas the Manwell box just needs a clutch, release bearing, plate or am I missing something? It just seems that the Auto box has so many things that can go wrong with it when the manwell is dead simple....It also seems that the manwell gives u better fuel economy and …

Has anyone got this bit of software? What do u think of it? Also if I have the software downloaded do I need to burn it on DVD to get it to work as it doesnt on CDR? :D

if the japs are so good with elecrical items, why are all the guages on a zx so crap.

greg, have u got ur tps set now. if not pop down and ill help sort it with my conzult if u want.

Evenin all.. Thought you might like an update on the repair after I blew the shite out of the head gasket! Had a huge kick in the misters yesterday, I took out a Warranty when I bought it and thought it would be covered.. turns out they will pay out - 250 quid max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so have to stump up the bill meself again ah well such is life Well it was found to be the bottom hose as the cause, the N/S h/g failed totally and the O/S one had just gone. Since the engine has been stripped we have found - a tappit gone, all the camshaft seals are as hard as rock!, the car had had a ebc fitted b4 I bough…

can somebody pm me with the name of the garage i bought my zx from. its the one next to the bp garage on the bristol rd. reason for this is ive just received a tax reminder for the car i traded to them and cant remember the name of the garage to send it to the dvla.

Just got back from Thor. Great day and excellent weather - just a bit low on Zeds :rolleyes: Of the original "oversubscribed" list, we only had 2 cars turn up! (Two others came along to take a look and were persuaded to have a go - Kanima and Scubie - great to meet you fellas! :) ) Ex zed owners Scoops and AdamR were also there to swell (lol, almost double) the numbers! Still a great day out and an excellent result for Shahid! I'll let people post up their own results here and/or in the Dyno Results section! CheerZ Steve :)
