General Discussions - Non 300ZX

On a typical A road, cars usually travel 60MPH or above, and frequently they pass quite close. Say 2 cars travelling on a road like this were doing 60 MPH and they crashed head-on (ie. 120MPH impact). If all passengers/drivers were wearing seatbelts, what do you think the chances of survival are for them ? this is a serious question.

Did a loveley pic of the zeds and the sea....and whos that, what you doing there standing slap bang in the middle of the pic, come on own up!!! (teach me not to pay attention)!!!

There are times when a zed comes in the workshop that merits particular mention the next two pics are of one of those, this car is as mint as they come and the owner should be proud of what is a 12 year old car and he has put the effort in and deserves to be mentioned, makes you feel all warm inside eh?

Channel 5 now Zed on telly in a min

on the board since it went down. good to see its back and you guys aren't seeking asylum again;) :)

First time spotted on elizibeth way roundabout newmarket road. IN THE BLIZZARD the other week!!!:eek: silver with black dragon graphics on doors couple of meaty zorsts and non standad rims. any takers seen it once since then hooning it over lime kiln hill.

Just got back from my appearence at the SXOC Top Speed Challenge day at RAF Woordbridge. A dissapointing day for me, best 1/4 for me was 13.90 @ 105 MPH. Top speed was a lousey 153 mph (at least I know my speedo is 10 MPH out, nice 'n' easy to work out). My day ended early when my Z decided to go very very smokey on it's 3rd run. Turns out a pipe popped off the back of the engine and bunged oil everywhere. Managed to limp home, so it'l be up at SE for another six months whilst they put another pipe on. Was quite spectacular apparently, so someone there may posts vids. Will have to keep an eye on SXOC forum for that. Well that's my fun Sunday :r…

hey i am a newbie from AUSTRALIA and yeah i am a bit worried about this forum it wont let me post private messages whats teh go with that?? neways the site cuts sik see yas

Andy Duff, you're forgetting that if a car travelling at 120mph hits a stationary car, both with probably be moving after the crash & so all the energy won't be used. In fact, if there was no friction, both cars would be moving at a combined speed of 60mph assuming they weigh the same! (Conservation of momentum) MV= M(V/2) + M(V/2) M=mass of car, V=120mph! That means that total energy in 120mph car before crash = 1/2* M *(V)^2 = 4 * 1/2* M *(V/2)^2 after crash, combined energy of both cars would be = 1/2*(2*M)*(V/2)^2 that means that the energy used in the crash = 4* 1/2* M (V/2)^2 - 1/2*(2*M)*(V/2)^2 = 2*M(V/2)^2 - M*(V/2)…

I'm pretty certain that there is a 350z in that nice orange/bronzey colour in the new title sequence of 5th Gear.

Me and my dad are getting better at taking pictures of space through the telescope. These pictures still very rough need work on them. You should take about 10 pictures of it and the add them all together to make a nice picture. These are single shots, or 2 pics together but we are starting to get some interesting stuff. Interesting galaxy where there really 2 galaxies which are just really close together or have passed eachother. The smaller one on the right has a higher gravatational pull and for now, the smaller one is stealing stars from the big one into its own galaxy. Cant remember which this galaxy is, but it looks good. Not the best pic of it…

where can i get a blanking plate for the bottom of my centre console, have moved my stereo to the top and want to fit my turbo time to the bottom section Andy

Anyone know where I can get a 300zx logo for my Nokia? Cheers

Here she is... Everything seems fine with the car, apart from the radio stopped working after a couple of hours and the ariel doesn't go up or down much ;) Who care's though, I love it :D Now just need to get it booked in for some oil change loving :p

Your laptop will be nicking your beer soon ! :D http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2847679.stm

Had a brain wave (with several echoes :D ). I reckon (and I do!) that the reason zeds can be bought on a BOGOF basis, is mainly because usually people wanting a supercar (like a Zed is) see it as a display of wealth/power. The branding that goes with a supercar is all-important to most people - names like Ferrari, Porsche etc. are as important (or more so) to them than the actual car. A NISSAN has no cache wrt wealth/reputation with general public and this makes them considerably cheaper. It's a bit like buying Champagne for a wedding - you want the best name, not a really good value one which is underrated and tastes almost as good as the best. The name is king for a …

:D :eek: :D :eek: :D Well picked the car up yesterday and drove it back home with my bro what a car!!!!!!! The grin factor has definately arrived and is there to stay Thanks to everyone who offered advice and im sure some more questions will arrise in the next couple of weeks Will see anyone that is going to brighton on sunday!!!

Ok After ECU diags, changing my PTU to a new series 2 one, changing the temp sensor and the harness, doing a oil and filter change, cleaning the air filter and resetting the ECU I still couldn't solve the hesitation problem. So, I took the car up to Andy P this morning and he plugged in a conzult and ran a few checks, it was a case of... "good, that's perfect, yep, ok then.... WTF, that can't right" LOL Seems my left O2 sensor was running at 2.4 v on idle rather than the standard 0.25 - 0.4. When Andy disconnected it, it defaulted to 0.33 so Andy adjusted the TPS and idle. I'm now running at 750rpm idle (rather than 1,100 rpm). So I'm going to have to order a …

OK, for a Z driving CD or the the less techy cars tape ;) Each person can pick 1 song Which song will it be? Stuart

Thinking of buying one as my runner, having seen a couple at good prices. Anyone either run one themselves or know anyone that has ? Cheers !
