General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Sunday morning meet at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (Portimao Circuit ) lots of fun cars and lots of spills and action all in fun no-one takes it too serious unlike the competitiveness of the UK. 20 Euro a car for 4 sessions of 5 laps each !! the track owners are not greedy and actively encourage car enthusiasts to meet there and to hang out or have some track time, the drift area is free and can be used all day if you want. Anyhow some pics: Jeff

Woke up this morning to this: not bad for "The sunniest place in the UK". I think im going to dig the Z out and go for a play :whistling:

Anybody help out here ?? Running Windows 10. Outlook as my email. All is good except for one wee annoying thing ?? For example; I power up my desktop, all good. Open MSN and alls good. Go to this forum, or facebook, or another few forums I frequent and do the signing in, password and tick the box for remembering me ?? It doesn't !! So I go here, leave here and go to, say Facebook, gotta sign in to Face book. Leave Facebook and come back here, gotta sign in again ??? Only started doing this since a week or so ago ? Used to switch on the PC and when it loaded up I was already signed in to here, Facebook etc ? Automatic update is enabled, so ha…

I need to get my car to the paint shop I was looking to tow the car there with a fixed tow pole. does the tow car ie my x5 do all the breaking and the car being towed just do the steering. can I use the motoway ? does the car being towed need break light does it need insurance ? it has no mot as its been off the road for 2 years , been reading up but getting mixed info some say its don't need to be road legal if the tow car is doing all the braking ? am confused. does any one know the FACTS not just hear say ? thanks for any info

I'm gonna ask this question here as I have asked and never got a proper answer. Where does the money from membership/traders fees and advertising go? I'm aware that there is a cost to maintain websites etc etc but surely the income must far exceed the outgoings from what I can see To be honest I don't feel that the "club" does much in the way of hosting events, this isn't a dig just an observation. Jae 2015 was to be honest a poor attempt by the club IMO We attend public shows as a club but don't seem to organise much as a club dedicated event Don't get me wrong here anyone I appreciate every thing that anyone has done to bring club members tog…

A pair of new tyres for my new ride, any guesses what for? Jeff

Just heard that Alan Rickman has died, this is turning out to be a bugger of a year. RIP buddy.

Well after 36hrs my daughter inlaw and eldest son became parents 7 pounds 10oz well pleased for them time to get ready to wet the baby head with a though beers tonight

Will always be remembered, this was my favourite track : [video=youtube_share;E_8IXx4tsus]https://youtu.be/E_8IXx4tsus

They've been doing this for years, out of sight though. Some recent moving around and it's now sort of videoable. So I'd thought I'd show you my pair of breeding Tomato Clownfish. The male is the smaller fish, the female the larger. She lays the eggs and he is fertilising after her. Those with a sharp eye will see the females egg tube out. Apologies the qualities naff.

Bring on the weekend

just thought id give you guys a heads up with what ive encountered recently. Got me a lovely Audi a4 Avant 2.0L TFSI which has an uncontrollable thirst for oil.... Seems engines within the 09-11 bracket have been fitted with 'suspect' piston rings. by uncontrollable i mean i used 1L of oil in 220 miles. Barely any smoke on load and cannot see any leaks visable enough to be a 1L leak. It has had 3L's now over 1100 miles. The issue usally airses around 60k miles and mine has done 67k. I dont know yet if this is definitely the issue but it seems likely.

As above :thumbup:

Some may know some won't but just over a week ago I was in Hospital. Felt like crap on the Saturday with chest pains, Tuesday I was told I had suffered a Heart attack! So heres hoping to get back to 'Z' messing health again to finish this bloody car!-it really could be the death of me............:sweatdrop:

Happy new year everyone. Hope to get my zed done this year and meet a few more of you in person.

Happy New Year to all ahead of tonight:pint: I joined this club in March and since then I have met some great people and had some good laughs. I hope you all have a great night, whatever your doing and I wish you all the best for 2016! Hopefully I'll meet more of you at shows next year:thumbup1:

Maybe not every ones taste, but Ian Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead died this morning from cancer. Seen them live quite a few times, always entertaining ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0sik4yZHY8 Alan.............

First time in 9 years i'm working through the xmas to new year. :( Its only two and a half days but it will likely feel like ever, I just want to work on the zed :)

Hi I have a 2000 Elgrand VQ35DE 4x4 as some of you may know. I need to know if the following part number for the ignition coils are the same. Both parts come under the same engine variant but there's no real confirmation for use for my car or any other specifications. 22448 8J115 (8J1C) Hitachi part number HEX EXA 2409N 22448 AL615 (AL61C) Hitachi part number HEX EXA 3103N Dealers are no help already rang them and they only told me the above two part numbers changed. original part number is 22448 4W011 Hitachi part number HEX EXM 2854. Would I be able to get one of the above as a replacement. Thanks

Okay.... so my Mrs wants to go to Lapland next month. Probably because of all the Christmas films she has been watching recently. I have always supported the motto of 'Happy wife = happy life' so I will be caving in. I've looked at costings briefly and I can afford it. Has anyone been? Any advice for me before I go trawling the tripadvisor forums? I'd rather hear it from like-minded zed heads than those kinds of people. If someone has gone - what company did you use? Dean

From Zedworld past have a great time !! Jeff & Lynda

To all Zeders of the 300ZX.co.uk Happy Zeding in the New Year! Health & Happyness too:thumbup: Art213

Doesn't matter how cheesy they are.... Get them up in the festive spirit! Thought I'd start with mine as it arrived today:)

Snowing on the forum tonight :biggrin: Nice touch Jaikai :thumbup:
