General Discussions - Non 300ZX

My work closes this Thursday :( has been in receivership for the last year or so, no one wants to buy the place too expensive (soho) used to be the old Raymond revue bar a lot of history in the place. I heard the bad news about an hour ago. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO no more zed parts for a while now. may have to cancel my Zrun trip to Amsterdam:( Ah well wish me luck, been on the search for jobs luckily there are loads of chef jobs available.

As you know i've bought a 4x4 and it was imported from Japan late last year. There isn't a bit of rust on it which is great and i'd like to keep it that way. Do people generally put a coat of that tar stuff on them? Or is it a personal preference?? The car is made with zink coated steel so won't rust but not sure about the chassis.

....The Ressession. Corus are now shedding 3,500 jobs across Lincolshire/S Yorkshire & Wales. :( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7850596.stm

years ago i was into this but didnt bother again. Now though. I am thinking about an 'N' gauge layout. Dont laugh :rofl: Anyone else into this hobby?

Where are you mate, can you pm me please. its regarding my old wheels you should still have. Let me know matey. Ive messaged you a few times with no reply

Word to the wise, and please advise any other forums that you may be members of this: http://www.autoadvan.co.uk are a vehicle importer, importing vehicle from America and Japan. I recently browsed their website and found 2 BMW 850i's, from 1990. There are priced at 6 and 8K. I started making enquiries. Then by chance on http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan_car/honda/all/?ps=25. I entered a search for a BMW 8 series from 1990, and low and behold, there were the same cars for 1.6K and 1.9K FOB. Even with taxes and shipping these cars come in at approx 2.5K and 3K respectively. Which is a 3.5 and 5K saving of the inflated prices on the Autoadvan site…

Never mind mate, there's still Wimbledon. :tongue:

just wondering if anyone here can help me out with a quick question? I'm currently looking at buying a ducati 748. but I've been given a very mixed response about them when asking ppl. can anyone here tell me what they are like?

One for the Audio tech's Well finish wiring up the install today, plugged it in and turned it on... everything works well :D However when there is no music on like changing track and stuff there is a humm type crackle. I had a play around and cant seam to get rid of it.. It started to rain a bit so had to come in, no am i roght in thinking that there is some interferance coming from a power source or could it be the RCA cables grounding out on the body work.. Under the stereo or in the boot ( i have 1 wired in ready for the carputer but not connected to anything, it's just laying in the boot) Will go out tommorrow and have another play about but wnate…

Sky 1 - 1st Feb 09 - 10pm http://sky1.sky.com/show/ross-kemp-afghanistan Love the Guy or hate him, he is a top bloke for going back to highlight the dangerous, selfless and underpaid job our Armed Forces do out there. I watched the 1st series, and I was moved at how close he got with the men, and how it affected him, the soldiers and their families when men were Killed. You could argue the fact that he gets paid loads of money, and he's just doing it to make a name for himself etc, but he is in the thick of it with the soldiers, and could get Killed as easily as the next man, so maximum respect to him. :bow: I will be watching. :)

Any one who is breaking a mk1 Toyota MR2? The window control box on my bothers one has fooked up and he can't close the window, I would be most grateful if anyone could get one. Scotty

watched them both over the last few days, both fantastic films that before i watched them thought would be really boring. how wrong was i, slumdog is one of the best movies i have ever seen, and just watched seven pounds tonight, thinking again i would prob get bored and turn off, didnt happen at all, and even though you dont really know whats going off all the way through the film it still keeps you interested, if you get chance go and see them/download em, slumdog is the best though

Just wanted to say that I don't like the appearance of the skylines and cannot understand why people drool over them. Yes the handle well and yes they have excellent performance, but God I think they look ugly compared to the Zed. Am I alone paddling my own canoe on this one?

I have been thinking again..............:rofl: So decided to grab a bargain at the right time for the coming summer........ I wouldn't like to think that I had taken advantage of someone who was suffering the credit crunch so asked him and he said no. He set a price and I bought it for that price. So my concience is clear :) I paid £1500 T&T 26.000 miles and it is in very good condition throughout although it needs a clean from riding it home from 50 miles away.

Right guys, i need a B&B for 5 nights in late august for just me Needs to be as cheap as possible, not bothered about how nice it is, just somewhere to put my head. Ive had a look around and to be honest got bored, so if anyone lives in the area and can recommend somewhere thats just cheap cheap cheap and simple that'll do me just grand! Doesnt even have to be that close to beer or seaton, few miles outside is no problem at all. But as close to beer as possible lol. Can anyone help me?? :)

Just been looking a different thread involving an Austin all agro and it got me thinking, whats the worst car you had owned??? Mine has got to be a D reg red Seat Ibiza 1.5GLX (system porche) in my late teens whilst i was driving around Hanger lane on the A40 in London, drove past a stationery police car waiting at the lights and my passenger door opened for no apparent reason and smacked the front of the boys in blue. I stopped and they had a small chat with me, one bald tyre, faulty headlight and the copper tested it on the side of the road, and snapped the handbrake. Gave me 3 points just for good measure.:mac1: Fooking thing was worse than a skip, as they are…

in my village there is a one man band garage with a good rep for general motor repairs, my nearside upper arm replacing so tues i enquired about the job and he said not too busy at the mo so booked me in for thursday basically i took the zed to him as i had the part but what with the bad/cold weather couldnt be doing with a driveway special this time...dropped the motor off he called @ 2hrs later said its all done for £49 he even drove the car back to my house...saved me grief, cold hands and i keep him from being another victim of the recession...everyones a winner :D anyone else starting to support the local business in these torrid times?
