General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Some good some bad. Love the power, tight handling and how small the car feels inside - very easy to place. Couple of problems though.... Toodling down a straight, HICAS light comes on and the speedo drops off. Hmmm thought they had fixed that. Then along comes a thump like runing over a large cats eye. Scan the instuments all looks OK, temp gauge climbing a little, A/C going colder. Steam from the bonnet edges at the next junction. Oh dear. Phone up garage. Me 40 miles away car you've just sold me dead. "Don't worry about it Barry, we will fix it, can you get it back to us?" sez Rick. "Bit large for parcel post, can't tow …

Love your new sig mate :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Do many people have them? was thinking of getting one but not sure if they are anygood?

Sold my MR2 yehaww. It should go tomorrow in the afternoon for a small pile of cash. Unfortunately in the morning I will have spent a much larger pile of cash buying my new ZX - Ahh timing is everything, as ever mine is slightly off. A minor logistical battle will occur, I need to pick the ZX up in Hemel at 10:30ish and don't sell the MR2 until 14:00 - hopefully the boss will not be too annoyed with two "Funday" cars in the drive. I still have not quite got round to telling the boss about the 300 yet - she is going to need to run me to Hemel so I guess I either tell her tonight over some wine "Oh by the way cutie fancy running me to Hemel tomorrow whil…

Just got back from Muse gig at MEN. What an incredible gig. Elbow supported & were just as good in their own way. Just thought I'd share that with you .. There should be a smiley for when you feel in awe.

Cos you lost me there.......GTO?

Woohoo:D Had the zed serviced on Thursday. Not a major thing, just oil change & level check to keep warranty valid. Went into garage today to pay them, got the invoice and it came to the sum of....... ........nothing:dance: I supplied the oil and tha garage gave me a proper vat bill listing all work done, but said "....no charge - goodwill gesture...." And who said running a Zed was expensive:dance:

Pics of my colourful engine bay... Cant quite see the effect on the throttle cable cover and fuse box, but they're red with yellow dusting :cool: Did strut brace bases, rad clamps, little fuse box, new samcos, and other bits and bobs.

The FULL extent of my midday madness......... Closer.......... And from the side........... Told you I went a bit too far........But them BOV's look sweet don't they!!! :D :dance: Matty.

Why did the chicken cross the road? AMD Athlon Chicken: Provided you bolt on a big fan, this chicken will beat all the Intel chickens to the other side. For 3D multiplayer chicken-action, there really is no alternative... Assembler Chicken: First it builds the road ... C Chicken: It crosses the road without looking both ways. C++ Chicken: The chicken wouldn't have to cross the road, you'd simply refer to it on the other side. COBOL Chicken: 0001-CHICKEN-CROSSING. IF NO-MORE-VEHICLES THEN PERFORM 0010-CROSS-THE-ROAD VARYING STEPS FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ON-THE-OTHER-SIDE ELSE GO TO 0001-CHICKEN-CROSSING Cray Chicken: Cross…

Although I'm probably going to go for some Vega's at some point in the near future. I got a couple of JBL's at a really good price. I thought my old subs sounded pretty good but these ones really kick, I'm spent most of the morning fixing rattles that I didn't know I had with the other subs. Most of the rattles were coming from where the rear windscreen siper motor is, a few connectors were hitting the metal work, all rattle are now gone and I have to say I'm really happy with the soud that these babies kick out. Here's a picture of my old subs (250W) next to my new subs (1600W) :hyper:

Just popped to the local Tescos. Haven't driven the car over the last couple of weeks until I replaced the heater core (and it wasn't giving me much happiness after that job!) Anyway, went in to do my shopping and then walked back to my car. A family had just parked next to me in their Dad's shiny new Celica. (Doesn't do anything for me but dad was obviously proud of it!). I had to wait a bit while their little boy got out of the back seat so I opened my car with my zapper while I waited. The little boy must have only been about 7 years old and he stopped in amazement at my old Nissan and said in the most excited voice, "WOW! Dad, what car is that?". "It's…

German guy approaches a prostitute. "I vish to buy sex vit you". "OK" says the girl, "I'll charge £80 an hour". "Ist goot, but I must varn you, I am a little kinky". "No problem" she replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky". So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck caller. "I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs". The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs to her hands and knees. "Now you vill get on your hans und knees" She duly does this, balancing on the springs. "You vill please blow zis vistle as I make love to you." She finds this odd, but…

Where you at son?

Cool. :D

a true story from the WordPerfect help line. Sadly, the helpdesk employee was fired; allegedly, the employee sued WordPerfect for "Termination without Cause." Employee: "Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you." "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect." "What sort of trouble." "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away." "Went away." "They disappeared." "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now." "Nothing." "Nothing." "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type." "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out." "How do I tell." "Can you see the c:\prompt on the screen." "What's a sea-pro…
