General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Well, option begin work on my 300zx tomorrow, two new stage 2 turbos and a nwe rad, oh and a slimline apexi boost gauge! Cant WAIT to get it back, god I miss it, the little XR2 I have been poodling around in though has done me proud!!! So fingers crossed, it'll be ready for Japfest!!! ANyone else going?:)

I was (my Mrs was) interested to know how many of you let your partners drive your Zed's. I understand if you are too scared to post a comment in case they see, in which case you can PM or MSN (ArundaleP@hotmail.com) and tell me yourself!!!!:D Paul... oh and Chelle.

After 5 weeks of waiting I finally pick my XTR2 kit up tomorrow from the Westfield factory. Needless to say I'll be slightly busy for the next few weeks so don't be suprised if I'm not on MSN for a while. Wish me luck, cause I'll probably need it ;) Jay

I know its a server thing, but I need to have PHP working locally on my computer. How do I do it? I am currently working on something on PHP, but I need to develop it at home and have no access to a server with it on for now. Can I install it, or emulate it so it will work locally on my computer? If so how? Thanks Stuart

Just received the papers, and the car is arriving on the 27th of this month :D The chassis number is WELL low :eek: GZ32 - 000003* Roll on the 27th then :D

I was just putting my throttle cover back on after looking if I had that adjustable screw or not and noticed an injector connector that was looking a little dirty. I'll take that off and give a quick clean, I thought. So a wiggle later and the wire has snapped clean off........bollox. No Z for me tonight. Eric.......this is all your fault and I'm holding you personally responsible. LoL......well, just about lauging. :rolleyes:

Chris c AKA Liber faghole :D he he both top blokes. i only got home now :o 2.20 am Thanks Peter for taking me to this wierd thing :D Car sounds very cool at full chat. this thing is massive.

Place your bets now....... What car is wazza driving whilst his Z is in the shop ?

I don't but with all the sad posts on here lately someone is bound to! LOL

Just a quick note to say I have added a lot more detail on this section of my web site. Including all the wire colours on both pre & post '95 models (ABS sensors are slightly different colours). For those of you who bought TC in the group buy recently, this may prove to be very useful. If you think that something is missing or I need to detail something even more, please give me a shout, I'm always looking to improve the site to help others.

I will be back on Friday at 5pm'ish........... So it will be a quiet week from me! Matty.

Nissan-TwinTurbo.co.uk is now open for business, feel free to have a look around or even send in some piccies and spec on your cars :D

ECU PTU AIV PCV MAS CAS HKS ALC AFR .......your turn! Have I missed any? :p

Now, a bit of background - since my Zed arrived a few months ago, it's always had a tinkling noise when the clutch has been pressed. Several people said it was the release bearing gone and advised a new clutch was in order :( So off I go, ordered a RPS clutch from Smithy, and dropped the Zed off with MJP yesterday.... Just had a call from Mike, and it turns out that having taken the gearbox apart, his mechanic has discovered a HKS twin plate clutch with flywheel !! :eek: :eek: :D Mike says the tinkling sound is a trait of these clutches, and having never driven another Zed didn't realise how on/off my clutch actually was - just thought it was me gettin…

Just a quick pic for anyone wondering about the contrast effect on silver/ grey zeds after fitting the silver film inside the headlights, must admit I was more than impressed , I think it looks BETTER than on the darker colours like mine....doh! Jeff TT

Having seen a few zeds in the workshop withe 99 spec bumper on thought I must have one, impressed with the quality (nissan) but not the mesh supplied with it which was only about 1 cm bigger than the middle opening! made for some tricky fixing. Jeff TT

Guess the part, I know how all the post whores love these threads!!!

Shit! I've got to go out and buy a new keyboard now! I was on the computer drinking a cup of coffee when my cat launched himself onto my shoulder from behind me... Result...Half a cup of coffee over the keyboard :eek: ;) Now all the keys are getting sticky, won't be long now till the keys start jamming and sticking down! LOL ;)

Evenink all. I'm planning to buy an old (possibly knackered) classic car for Question is - what do we buy? I've had suggestions of a Mini, Triumph Spitfire, Ford Cortina and a few others... Obviously parts have to be obtainable, but I want a car with some rarity. Contradiction in terms I know :D . Any suggestions? Like I said, we only wanna spend up to £200ish on the vehicle itself, obviously it'll cost more as we fix it up, respray etc but thats our budgeted outlay for the car itself. Thanks for any replies :) Pete

Sorry MAC, but your reputation preceeds you. I happened to mention the forum in conversation to Johnny at GPS and for some reason your name came up (AGAIN!). It was all done in the best possible taste and he mentioned I might get an look at your zed when I pop over there later (?) - Don't suppose I'd be able to miss it! :)

Gosh that didn't take too long to get to here! I've learnt quite abit from you all in these short weeks since I joined. Thanks, and apologies for the stupid questions. You can look forward to many more from me, sorry!
