General Discussions - Non 300ZX

I have not seen the film but I dont think there was a 300ZX in it. However, there is a 300ZX engine sound in there and I think they used it for the Supra. Nothing beats the sound of a V engine. Here are some pics of the recording of the sounds http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=923570 Stuart

Two Techies were walking across the park when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second Techie replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The second Techie nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Enough said.....

hi my mate has got saturday off work and wants to go out and spend a few grand on his zed, he wants nice alloys with a deepdish and also a rear high spoiler. whats the bet shops to visit for such items? we dont mind travelling. thanks.

We were having a good laugh, I pop off to a meeting and it has disappeared? Did someone lose their sense of humour? what happened?

300ZX is on page 8

Going to Florida in September for three weeks and looking to bring back some bits. Does anyone know of any shops or places in that area that i should visit?

Does anyone have one of these? How do they work and would it work on an auto? I just think they look great when tastefully done :) Pete

to get us in the mood & for those that havnt been & are wondering what its like :)

Red Zed spotted today (thursday) at nottingham, at the county ground. J reg, removed rear spoiler and nice big zorst:)

I knew the lad real well also his Father John. a sad and tragic loss:( In the Commons, the Prime Minister paid tribute to the six dead men, from 156 Provost Company, based in Colchester, which is attached to 16 Air Assault Brigade, adding that they were doing an "extraordinary and heroic job". The MoD named the dead soldiers as Sergeant Simon Alexander Hamilton-Jewell, 41, from Chessington, Surrey, Corporal Russell Aston, 30, from Swadlincote, Derbyshire, Corporal Paul Graham Long, 24, from Colchester, Corporal Simon Miller, 21, from Tyne and Wear, Lance Corporal Benjamin John McGowan Hyde, 23, from Northallerton, North Yorkshire…

You want cash or cheque mate?

Finally sold her for £4k. I felt very strange watching her being driven up the road. Its like saying goodbye to your first love. Anyway as they say '..better to have loved and lost than not at all...' As I don't really post much on here, I dont know many on here but would like to thank all of those who have replied to my crazy threads and answered my stupid questions and to everyone else keep zedding and enjoy your motor whilst you can. I've certainly enjoyed mine but now have to put up with door-door luxury of my Jeep. Anyway thats another debt cleared until I hit N.Z. then I'll be looking for something a bit 'special' down under. Cheers Tony

ok i did a longish motorway run at the week end 140 miles constant 70-80 with a few blasts here n there, then done 60 miles going to work 10 miles either way, and the 40 quid i put in is gone, running on fumes on the way home tonight, with my calculations at 71 p a lire that works out at 16 mpg surely a long run it should do more than 200 miles to 40 quid. i know mpg threads have been done to death but is this right.

Big thanks to Tony C - that guy is a polish/chamois/valet/sponge/etc genius!! Some unthoughtful sparrow or something bombarded my zed with cack the other day and I (like the muppet I am ;) ) made a mess of ..ahem... "removing" said poo. Tony applied his paint restoring wizardry, and now my bonnet is beautiful again :cool: :) Cheers bud Pete

Yes, I know that this has been posted b4, and I've seen the results in the past, but I couldnt find it today, so I thought I'd ask it all over again:D I have a Nokia 6310i phone and I'd like the '300ZX' logo for the screen. If my memory serves me correct, I beleive someone on here made this logo up, and made it available to members (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!!). Thanks for the help :cool: DAVE

Hello All, Im from the MKIVsupra forum,I was introduced to a group buy for the above by user KONRAD (cheers mate!) as there wasn't one going one on our forum at the time.just wondering if anyone has heard anything from Luke recently - he said delivery was going to be about 6 weeks as racelogic are low on stock - I phoned them and they say they should have plenty of stock.I spoke to Luke about a week ago (nice guy) and he had just placed the order as he was getting the credit card details verified.I have tried to call him a few times but I guess he was busy.Anyone got an update on this ?

Friends, Some of you may not be aware of our current difficult financial situation. Because of my debts and rising living expenses,(eg 300zxtt) we are finding it a bit difficult with money at the mo. We've decided to have a garage sale to possibly make some cash!! It will be this Saturday ..... well it's in our front garden as we have no garage!! We have taken a photo of our sale items (please take a look at the attachment), and the sale will strictly be on a first come first serve basis. I would appreciate all the help you guys can give me. See you Saturday! p.s. I hope your buy something as I need the money! jason…

A website which lists other websites - ie. the most useful for all different things ? ie. better than an internet search ?

Quote Benefits and Weak Points In addition to the very important job of allowing your car come to a complete stop without stalling the engine, the torque converter actually gives your car more torque when you accelerate out of a stop. Modern torque converters can multiply the torq…

Bo!!ocks. Got home today and found a police notice on the mat. I'd been caught doing 34 mph in a 30 mph zone (not near any residential areas, empty road etc.), 3 weeks ago! I'm not complaining (much) but i'd always thought i'd get done doing 100 mph +, do not pass go, do not collect £200 style! Shouldn't they be out fighting proper crimes?

Wow! :eek: :cool:
