General Discussions - Non 300ZX

As some of you may already know, my son is really into drifting and owns an s14. well on saturday we got up at 3am and drove to norfolk arena for his first drift day. was a great day and of course i had a fair few goes as well. was really suprised at how well he did. by the end of the day, in the dry he could drift the whole track.:rockon:. especially suprised as he has never really driven a car before apart from an experiance at brands. (he is only just approaching 16). here are some pics from the day:

I normally spend my working days in the office, but tomorrow I have to visit a customer to resolve a dispute. I have an 11 o'clock meeting with the client on site................ .........in the southern Lake District!! I have a meeting of an hour or so - but a round trip of over 500 miles!!! I guess I should have an early night:sleeping: Richard:closedeyes:

Unfortunately back at work now... but camera pic wife took of me scoping out landing on a backcountry kicker on Sunday. Hiked it a few times... looking back at it, feeling like quitting my job, selling up and moving to the mountains...

is it me or are the hundreds of the buggers on there? every time i search on autotrader lately there is some very cheap ultra bargain car (e.g £5k cheaper) for an 05/07/08 plate with a photo saying email me ......@hotmail.com as i dont have phone etc too busy bla bla.....its really putting me off using them to be honest :mad2:

I found the lochness monster. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=loch+ness&sll=56.660755,-5.059891&sspn=0.255862,0.606308&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Loch+Ness,+United+Kingdom&ll=57.226183,-4.572179&spn=0.003554,0.018926&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=57.226109,-4.572287&panoid=ApPA1rwguy7D-Kl8q6i0bw&cbp=12,134.08,,0,11.53

:rant on: Had to drive 30 miles to my "local" Nissan parts department to enquire and order a particular coolant hose for a R35 GT-R. I printed the relevant page and information off the Courtesy Parts site and presented it to the bloke behind the counter. Firstly, he asked what car it was for (despite the page having GTR/R35 plastered all over it). Then he proceded to look gormless and proclaim that without a precise model and chassis number he won't be able to find anything in the Nissan FAST system ... What a bloody load of dogs dangly bits! I know the FAST system quite well and there is no requirement to put in a chassis number and the model number of the R35 GT-R …

Im back!!! So nobody missed me obviously:tt2: Router died on me at the weekend.:helpsmilie: First one i brought home was duff so second attempt tonight..... Result

Can anyone on here help, need to find a specific mortgage

this is for my GTR but its not miles away from a zed. can some one tell me out of 1,,2 and 3 which are uprated to adjustable arms and with new arms do they come with new bushes or not. i've looked and think its 1 and 2 that are adjustable, 3 will need 2 new bushes and the lower arm will need 2 new bushes am i right

just browsing through ebay and been checking reviews on these cars and i have personally have never seen a bad review about them anyone sat in one/driven on/owned one here?

Hi anyone using orange broadband, thinking of changing been with aol about 10 years now just looking for the ups/downs

Young psycho's in the making........how long before they get released and given new identities along with a new life in Australia ?? Just my view here, but ? Nature, nurture, plus an individual character's prepensity for evil. Couple this with a no blame, and a no real punishment culture, (esp at the lower levels of criminatlity, which is where it really matters!), and this is what you get....expect more!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/8469424.stm I fear for the future.

I took my 3 year old daughter around this factory and I remember being stunned that it was still British-owned. Not anymore. We can't seem to keep anything British nowadays. It doesn't affect me personally, but it still pisses me off every time I hear about another foreign takeover. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704561004575012733950862948.html?mod=WSJ_mgmt_LeftTopNews

Well, after months of indecision my work is closing down. 4 factories + ours is the best performing + most profitable, but under invested in.So its closing . :xxx: :hammer: I can't honestly see if its a disaster or a great oppurtunity( i wont walk away with much :no:) to do something else, or do something for myself . So how has it worked for you? Has your life been improved by a redundancy, or has it got a whole lot harder?

.... Well almost. Looks very cool - until you turn the sound up and can hear the horrible transformer like sound they make. :lol: Also not sure if they can offer any side impact protection, or a safe exit in the event of even a slight side impact, let a lone a role!! But cool non the less I feel!! :wink:
