General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Hi - coming up to my birthday - thinking of a prezzie that my wife can buy me for the Zed. Any suggestions? Let's say up to about £200. You can also suggest anything above that figure - as I suppose I could always supplement her contribution. Thanks in anticipation for your great suggestions Geoff.

Is it just me or has E-Mail notification started working again?

It was obvious the zed was going to win:dance:

Just had a new exhaust fitted - been up to pick it up in me lunch (half) hour so I havent had time to clean the car. I dont think its too big and its not too loud:D Sounds just right pix in the rides section if ya interested

how much skin can you take off your knuckles removing your air box:mad: had to hacksaw the brackets off the bugger to get it out. then to top it all the apexi instructions were all in japanise:confused:. aint had time to test it yet but it sounds cool:D

I've seen a few parked up at shows etc. but had one driving towards me today (Silver), first impression was nice front end, looks the biz BUT it really seemed small! I mean really small!:confused: Anyone else thought this?

As promised some time ago, still need to get it framed!! Done by Jamie Boots (who before being an artist instructed racing drivers for a living!!) :D Matty.

kneesun and a dotsun ?:rolleyes:

Got to admit having watched this dross to tell you this. I think the same programme is repeated several times a week so you can still see it. Surprised to se a feature on Datsuns n Nissans including Steve Millens 850bhp racing zed. Some clips in action. Says it had stock but polished heads but an ally block and special pistons n crank but reliable for 24 hour racing! Also on about before or after this generally mind numbing car stuff is the Rev Bob Torque show it has a Sunny GTIr on the rr against a Cossie and an bloke with a Pug with a £9k leather interior. Dont miss it unless you've something better to do which isnt hard with this stuff.

Has any one had any experience with these? They are GPS things for the dash. Colour screen and works out the route you should take. Some dont do that but this does. The reason I am asking because I was in Costco a few months ago and there where on sale for £750. I looked on the internet and the cheapest I saw them was £1000. I went to Costco today and there where selling them now for £550. It has to be worth it for that. Has any one used them? It would have come in handy when I went on holiday this last year. Stuart

My son wants to start driving shortly when he turns 17. He wants to use the Z but obviously that's out of the question.......for several reasons :D I've been hunting around and getting anywhere between £4.5k and £2k for a Seat Arosa (Grp3) or similar (VW Polo etc). I don't want to get him a complete sh*tter - anyone have any suggestions ? Apart from 'Get the bus' :D Mark

Blitz Car Sales 11-15 Commercial Street Birmingham West Midlands B1 1RS Tel: 0121 6430044 Fax: 0121 6430044 Mob: 07967 009353 Email: sales@blitzcarsales.co.uk Site: Blitz Car Sales I'm all for naming and shaming!! Car Sold - BMW 3 series 328i (1995) Basically the car was not fit for sale and the customer is still waiting for an MOT (which was done, apparently) thermostat was removed, bald tyres on inside rears (not checked as was told MOT passed) sold with 12 month 'dodgy' warranty (amazing how many of these books turn up!) valves were knackered before the sale of the car and promptly died 30 miles from garage. And also the head gasket…

Travelling towards Maidstone along the A20 from Aylesford. Nice black 'H' reg with blacked out rear windows ... seen at about 5.30. Any mid-Kent Zedders like to own up to this? CheerZ, John.

Right first off - my HICAS and speedo seem to have fixed themselves. All it needed was a top up of fluid and disconnected the battery for a moment. So - out for a blast this afternoon and was joining the M25 at Jct 10 (A3) heading for Heathrow. I gunned it down the on-ramp and the thing did the BIGGEST fish tale slidey moment I've ever experienced !! ALL OVER THE PLACE ! And I was going in a straight line !! It scared the sh*t out of me and I guess all the other cars nearby as everyone backed right off me ! My heart is still in my mouth an hour or more later........ Mark

Holy mother of god :eek: :eek: :confused: :eek: check this out, found it on findit.co.uk!! Pete
