Foooooooooooooooooooook me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coming back up the A43 from Corby tonight, came to a bend and it was flooded!!!!!!!!!!:shock: Hit the water and.............................opppssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!! F***ing glad I've got new tyres on :bow: Felt it go sideways though, not the back end, I mean the whole car! :( :eek: Bloody hell it's raining out there. The A1 was awash with it as well, couldnt see a damm thing at one point. Rant over, gona have a few :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: now ;)

Myself and Jaffa set to work on my car early this morning. James300 arrived a little later in time for sandwiches :D. Really appreciate your help today guys, made light work of fairly meaty tasks. Here's some pictures. Ok First we stripped this lot out. Can anyone name all the bits ?. I doubt it :rofl: If anyone needs any of these bits make me an offer (UK rad is only 4 months old) Next we fitted the underdrive lightweight pulley (thanks to PaulC for oncall support ;) ) Next was the new oil cooler. And here's some new and old pics. Greddy IC's v Stock And from the side.

Killed my car on Saturday. Just headed off to the village which is about 2.5 miles away. I floored it to pass a line of cars and crunch grined pissshh and loads of yuky noises clouds of steam. More like Thomas the tank than a Z. i suppose I've done OK really as I've done over 90,000 miles in the last 3 years running at 1 bar and no mechanical problems. Just well pi55ed of and in ned of a new engine. :cry: :cry: :cry:

New bakery just opened up next door to my office. Nothing like a warm fresh apple danish and coffee to get you started in the morning! Think I'll go have another! :hyper:

Bleedin' typical, sunny all last week, pi$$ed it down on Sunday, now it's monday and it's fooking sunny again! I just can't work it out, somebody up there hates me!

What do you guys think of me trying to make my car similiar to the car in my sig? Is that really lame? :xxx: Or is it ok? :dance: I am gonna gofor the same kit but with no rear spoiler!! should look sweet! Thats sound system in the sis is bloody awesome, not really after somet as mad as that!! I like being subtle, hence this bodykit and not the new viper front end from Luke!! :) Although I do like it!

I know I'm not the first on here to moan about this and I certainly won't be the last - but it's now 10 days since my new clutch was airfreighted from the US and I still don't have it - apparently it's still clearing customs and should be here on Tuesday! And I have loads of lovely bits waiting to go on the car, but not much point strating if the clutch is going to be delayed. Very frustrating!

My dad has bought a Laptop with wireless built in. We also have a network going through a switch where 4 computers are linked together, and I as one of the computers, act as a gateway for the internet. How can we get the Laptop working wireless with our network? There are loads of products and I dont know which one I need. Personally I think we just need a wireless network access point, which where a little thing plugs stright into the hub and the laptop just cominucates with it and connects straight into the hub via this access point and is essentially a part of the network. However when I asked the sales desk, they said I needed a ASDL wireless router. But…

I was only speaking to someone the other day that wanted one :confused: who was it LOL? Anyway I have one spare as my Z won't need one to run :hyper:

a Large thanks to John Dixon for giving me his last custard tart to eat, supplying me with coffee AND sorting me car too. He put a lot of hours in today sorting a multitude of problems on my Z, alongside fitting my HKS EVC. That was it really - top bloke, knows his stuff and makes a mean coffee. Cheers

A big thank you to all the guys at PPS you've been a great help in my first 2 weeks of Zed ownership they are highly recommended and just on my doorstep Having your head uint installed by a world champion is a great bragging point at work (thanks Martin) Cheers :bow:

I found an 8mm long drive socket yesterday, can you guess where. And for all the smart arses it was'nt in my socket box :tongue:

get off here you should be out tweaking that bucket ready for tomorow steve

Hope you can help here and please be honest as I am looking for an opinion from you guys as to the ammount you WOULD pay for a vehicle the same as mine was previous to the crash. Imagine this was the advert: 1994 300zx twin turbo auto in red, charcoal leather, all electric heated seats, original sound system. This is a clompletely standard uk car with dealer history up to 38,000 miles and full documented history (in original service book) up to present 104,000 miles, this includes cambelt change at 54,000 miles by nissan. Full service at 98,000 miles. Mobil 1 used since 43,000 miles. No Known major repairs ie gearbox etc. New brake pads all around 25% wear on tyres…

Just a note to let you all know that on Thursday 1st of April at 22:40pm our little baby girl Emma was born to the world weighing 5 pounds and 12 ounces. I nearly missed the delivery as my wife was only in labour for 40 minutes!!! Good job I have a fast car :cool: Good job her waters didnt go in the car eh! Both mother and baby both doing well and have been home for a week today! If there was a smiley for smoking a cigar I'd put it here!

By the way - having just been accused ! (yes It's true!) of the above crime, I just did a quick check for you all. The key is the average number of posts per day since you were a member of the forum. This figure appears on the member details if you click on someones name on the meber list. Me 4.74 Shrimpy 6.37 SRRAE 7.731 SMW1 10.52 MAC1 20.93 No comment! :eek:

has anyone ever compiled a list of places that do track days, timed standing quarters and rolling road dynos (and/or tuning)? Seems it would be a very helpful document if anyone has any info to get it started. Any takers?

If your thinking about getting it, dont bother. buy the Vinyl yourself save £70. Here is a letter I have written to them after getting the "KIT" I received your trim kit, thank you. Unfortunately receiving it is the only thanks you'll be getting about it. The kit is appalling. I have had to cut out each and every panel again so it fits, if I had wanted to do that I would have gone and bought three meters of Vinyl from my local fabric shop. Secondly and more annoyingly is the pictures you show on eBay clearly show STITCHING around the door cards (please see picture) and even in the "How Too" guide that comes with the kit refers to stitching i.e. the glove bo…

If you have a spare top rad bleed screw to spare can you bring it to the Essex meet tomorrow ? I would be eternally greatful. Thanks

I know the prices for mods and spares for our 300's are stupidly pricey, but is it worse for skylines? I would expect it would be....
