General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Has had the suspension arms replaced both fig 8s full service history no rust what-so-ever. Its mint, in white with white multi spoke alloys. Any thoughts on the car? Its running approx 300BHP? Is it easy to get more from it? Only reason im thinking on this as the right 300 hasnt come up yet that i like.

...lifted from another forum - looks like enough people got p***ed off with ebay not allowing sellers to charge any P&P so they're going down the 'maximum P&P' route. :death: bout fookn time. "In 2009 a mandatory free Postage & Packaging (P&P) policy was introduced in categories where excessive postage charges were a problem. Although buyers have responded positively, some sellers indicated this is having a negative impact on their listings and asked for alternative options to prevent excessive postage. This is especially when listing in the auction style format with a low starting price. SELLER NEWS Therefore, to help drive further sal…

I've had my tv connected to my pc for a while via a HDMI lead but sometimes things I play on media player or VLC won't appear on my TV. I have the setting on my PC as "the same on both displays (clone)" and it will play on my pc screen but not on my TV. Any ideas? Cheers Vijay

My missus was in a nasty crash a week ago & her Audi A4 was a complete write off (somone drove straight into the rear & shunted her into the car in front) :censored: Have just bought a nice Golf that come in as a cheap trade in! :clap: Its a 2.0 GT TDI - drives really well! Has very high miles (hence the cheaper price) but all motorway miles with good service history! Thought I would share!

I have a large garage with a metal roof. The roof came of a factory so its not the cheap stuff from B&Q. Thing is I think it did not like the snow. What would be best to paint over it. I was looking at this stuff. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Structural/Roof+Compound+Waterseals/All+Weather+Roof+Coat+5+Ltr/d210/sd2809/p60252 Any advice would be good as I will be doing it this week Thanks....

All my bits are somewhere in a 880lb huge crate "misplaced" somewhere in the UPS network :no:. Apparantly 6 lots of goods ship as one load by air from the US. Only two bits of that load turned up without paperwork in heathrow so they cant tell me anything :no: Not sure if they are in the US, Europe, or somewhere at Heathrow. Or mine might be one of the two that made it to heathrow :rockon:. They cant tell me as they cant get any paperwork as its with the rest of it or something. OMFG my luck stinks, I am not a relegious man but will be saying a prayer tonight. :blink:

Got my money together and am now looking to buy my charity banger. It wont quite stretch to a 300zx so I am looking for suggestions. Has to be able to take 3 men on a 5 day trip around Europe. Anything obscure or wacky would be better!

(he is only just approaching 16). here are some pics from the day:
