General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Picked up a plenum a little over a month ago with the idea that I'd have a crack at polishing it up before putting it on the car when my 555 injectors arrive and....it's finally finished! Had it bead blasted internally by a mate for the price of a :duffer: first. He did the exterior as well so I could see what it looked like but although it brought it up nicely it still retained some of the "rough cast" finish so decided to break out the angle grinder, soon followed by the ever handy dremel, some wet and dry and finally a buffer! I left off doing the bottom as it's not going to be seen, the inside edges and the very centre were a complete PITA to get at but they're not…

Hi Jaffa & James300, Was doing your brake brace bracket invoices last night and got a little confused about the name on your paypal payments ... they both appear to be the same - James Morgan. I know that everything I do at 2am seems confusing but this puzzled me for a good 5 minutes. Is this indeed the case or did one of you make payment for the other ... Please let me know because my one remaining brain cell is going into shock. And just incase you're wondering, your brackets will be on their way tomorrow morning (regardless of your names ... ;)) so you'll hopefully have them by Friday noon time (remember it's going via recorded delivery so you'll need to …

My Zed is off the road at a garage until at least 21st April, which means no Easter drives, got a wedding, so have to go in the Rover :rolleyes: and there's a big Zed shaped hole on the drive.

Put my new rear leathers in, only the fronts to go now!! Passenger side tomorrow, then the drivers on Wednesday. ;) The new Fronts have a nice Z stitched in........;) (Pic of that attached but still in Katzkin box!) :cool: Just can't wait to get it finished, the leather smells great!! LOL Matty.

Autobox just gave up again She has done 5k since last rebuid last October. Still under guarantee so Autobox specialist will hopefully sort it under guarantee, although I have to get the box out and transport it 150 miles. This is my second auto Z , I have so far gone through 4 auto rebuilds in 4 years. I eventually converted my other Z to manual but kept my SWB Auto as when its working it is a nice Auto. These auto's seem too tempremental for my liking and mechanics try to avoid them like the plague, there is only 4 places in Ireland that do Autos and they all happen to be in Dublin. Bummer when you live at the other side of the country. Seem…

It must have been a design flaw eh ? , the number of cracked front bumpers ive seen is uncanny ! ( mines included :( )

As i will not be putting anymore optimax in the car before the deadline :( . Does anyone need any to complete the set? If i have the one or two you need to complete the set let me know. We can come to some arrangement.

TA! cathillok@hotmail.com

a bit late I know but would just like to say I met the tat man at Donny and found him to be a top bloke with a nice motor, cheers m8.

Decided to go with Nelsons theory when deciding on which front end to go for. What do you guys recon to this? Reason for this is: I like being able to see my engine though :D

Had a missed call on my phone today, from a woman asking if the nissan was still for sale, sounded like a call center in the background but it could have been just someone in a busy office asking about my car on her lunch break. Anyway, just phoned the number back and this company, car data check or something, reckon they have a couple of interested parties looking for a car of this type. A big smell of rat came over me at this point. Anyway they reckon for 80 quid, of which 60 is refundable when the car sells that they will be able to shift it within 7 days. I get the cheque from them for the car not the buyer, ( if there are any) some poor soul must be gett…

Anyone know where i can get Rockfort fosgate battery clamps on line???

Just out of interest really just seeing a show of hands of how many people own a z from around Norwich area and who they are.

I just came on the forum and its popping up LOADS of popups, whats the deal with that?

Hello Mate. Can you ask on your forum if anyone had a meeting with a White 300 last night down in Kent. He was driving a Red Supra on a 'P' (Fecking nice alloy's). Cheers

Were you looking for S15 headlights mate? :) Found some on ebay - not cheap though... Pete

Found this link http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=NS9030%2D7777FLX They are US spec, though so no side lights. They are OK if you have US spec indicator/sidelight corner lamp units. Richard :)

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone used to own a sierra Cosworth ? I have been a mad cossie fan for 3 years now but am finally fed up of constantly having to do work on her ... think it's time to go Japanese! I am definitely a big 300zx fan and was wondering how the twin turbos compare (acceleration, handling, trouble wise) to a 270bhp rwd cossie. Any comparisons would be really welcome, CharlieM

Got sent this in an email. are those things real???? http://207.68.162.250/cgi-bin/saferd?_lang=EN&hm___tg=http%3a%2f%2f207%2e68%2e162%2e250%2fcgi%2dbin%2fgetmsg&hm___qs=curmbox%3dF000000005%26a%3d6657e5de9a37389b814fd329e54137f2%26msg%3dMSG1082566078%2e82%26start%3d738259%26len%3d67657%26mimepart%3d10%26disk%3d207%2e68%2e162%2e71_d1076%26login%3dgordonhume%26domain%3dhotmail%252ecom%26_lang%3dEN%26country%3dUK&hm___login=gordonhume&hm___domain=hotmail%2ecom&hm___ts=1083023731&hm___ha=ceba733e7c2d4ae60d154ffcd8ef3d1f&domain=hotmail.com FOUND IN IRAQ ! They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out…
