I am proper gutted - but it had to be done - Paul300ZX is buying the Z. It has been an amazing 3 years. The Z has to be by far, the best car I have ever driven and owned. For the money, I don't think that you can buy a car with as much performance or presence. It has been a pleasure to own her. She has only let me down 4 times in 3 years and they have been minor things. Ceized caliper - which could happen to any car. split fan belt - dito perished oil cooler pipe - 12" piece of hose replace - job done. Clutch friction plate - New part replaced thanks to Smithy/Zedworld just remembered another one....he battery died on me last year on the way hom…

As title really - were you thinking of doing this, in all that spare time you have? ;):eek: Pete

Hi Anyone who has tried 1.0mm and 0.8mm jets and wants something inbetween Managed to find some 0.035" (0.89mm) boost jets last week after numerous failed attempts with muppet companies advertising 0.9mm and then supplying 1.0mm :rolleyes: Anyway - this guy in the US deals in chips on ebay and does 0.035" jets. Email address gofastnissanchips@hotmail.com 1.0mm gives me 12.5psi, 0.8mm gave silly psi, too much anyway :p I'll see what these give. Pete

I knew I recognised you from somewhere m8 :D

Downloaded this off Kazaa, They're obviously english! Hola crapola if it's accurate! http://www.x-box.nildram.co.uk/300zx210mph.mpeg :D

Anybody know of a place in the UK that does a cover for the zed? Seen a few in the states but none in the UK yet.... Cheers Dave

Hey guys! Im a newbie here so go easy! I know absolutely NOTHING about 300's other than they looks fantastic. I am quite a respected member of the toyota owners club, so am not likely to waste anyone's time. I Currently have a 1990 MR2 with a significant amount of mod's, but its naturally aspirated... I was considering going to the MR2 turbo, BUT, I have always loved the 300's and thought I would check some info out on an owners club. So...my first post ever here! HI! :hyper: Dave!

Andy is your car EVER gonna be back on the road or what??? SE = Slow Engines Duff Muff Engineering = We'll have it ready some time around 2010...if you're lucky! :D :D

I have their Trax tickets and need to send them by tomorrow so they get there in time but do not have either addresses?? Can anyone help??? Many thanks Mike

Right this is a tricky one. I'm back in a good contract at the moment so money is not a big issue at the. However, I'm getting the bike bug back in a big way so as soon as I get my license back from DVLA (not banned, just sent it off for a change of address...two years ago and refused to pay the feckers for the photocard jobby but now that's free! All things come cheaply to those who wait LMFAO) I will be doing my CBT (again! FFS) and theory (again) asap. Probably then try and get the Direct Access out the way sharpish aswell. I want to buy an R-6 before all that so that I will have the incentive to get on with it this time which I stupidly didn't have last time…

I've even put it into pictures since we seem to have a few people here who find it difficult understanding english

:tongue:

No rude stuff please but after popular demand of this piccie (as its my av on MSN lol) thought id share it with the rest of you ;) lol. Welcome to show us your best!!! (perhaps the woman can start they're own thread :D)

So we won a total of 30 medals in Athens 2004,does anyone know what the most we ever won at the Olympics? http://www.athens2004.com/en/OlympicMedals/medals

How many people have got mates that regularly find pics/stats of cars on the net or in magasines that are "faster than your zed" :rolleyes: I wouldnt mind if they actually owned the cars but hypothetical stats do not win races :xxx: The one in mind atm has a Diesel Lupo...

You are a shedist! Dont you know how long sheds have had to suffer? I bet you have a problem with ornimental gates too! SHEDWHORE!

Well the good news first, spent the day over at JD's in Kidderminster and besides watching the Grand Prix (how good was that! :D) we fitted my Brembo's :cool: Well chuffed with them (cheers John! ;) :)) [/img] And now, the bad news. [/img] Was stationary, waiting for a gap in traffic to turn onto my drive after getting home from John's, LITERALLY right outside my house, when the idiot behind me decided this would be the perfect time to turn kamikaze and crash into the back of me. I'm hoping the damage to mine is only superficial, won't know till we get the bumper off but still, three body panels, the headlights and the illuminated centre panel all f*cke…

Have any of you been utterly humiliated by a 3yr old? I was working on the Z all evening and loads of people going by looking at me funny, neighbours etc, general ppl, skateboardies etc etc, all staring at me then quickly walking by... My three yr old is totally set in her ways, when she pulls out her sticker book she must stick a 1inch gold star smack bang in the middle of my forehead, I started it as a wee joke, now she has to do it every time she finds the book of stickers... Yes you guessed it, there I was working on my Z tryin to look all mechanic-y with this bleedin great gold sticker on my forehead. the missus was laughin tears when I came in... I ha…

When someone is real sarcastic and rude with you, do you forgive and forget? Or do you just think to yourself.................What a cock I have washed my hands with that tosser? So what is the verdict guys? Does this board create real enemies among us or do you forgive and forget a week later?

sighhhhh! i think my car is jinxed! since th accident i had in may iv been messed about by th other parties insurers and we were finally getting sumwher when thy admitted liability a coupla wks ago. th car was so close to getting sorted and i was making all th arrangements for parts and couldnt wait to get her lookin dent free again. left my aunts house last night and thot id go for a bit of a drive on th way home, all was fine till i ended up going straight on at a right hander and colliding with some metal railings. i cnt sat it wasnt my fault, th roads were wet and i shud no betta than to try go round corners at regular speeds. lost traction at all four whee…
