General Discussions - Non 300ZX

I hope everyone is doing ok! My wife and I have been in self-isolation since Friday because she stayed in an LA hotel where someone tested positive. We have no symptoms but are getting cabin fever and still have a week left! This brings me on to the thread topic: what have you guys been doing to keep busy and pass the time? It's taken me 6 days, but I have sorted out my garage (almost) and built a workbench! It was a test of my carpentry and painting skills (neither which are any good, but it's not going to fall down anytime soon! Keep safe and don't get too bored!

Well I have been given a couple of old tools in battered wooden cases. With all the time on my hands I have decided to strip and clean the tools and their cases. One is a Baty London cylinder gauge set and the other is a M&W fine tools tubular micrometer set. so far I have re glued a few interior pieces of wood In one case that had come away and given the inside a rub down with a scotchbrite pad. I have just given the inside a nice coat of Behandla wood treatment for worktops... should protect and feed the wood.... It gets me out of the house and something to do with my 7 year old other that technology, home schooling or TV..... lol I’m show…

Now that we are on a proper lockdown i thought i'd start a counter and support threads each day. Try to keep me partially sane. One of the things i have started for all the old school gamers out there is a FaceBook group called C-19-G We have also setup a VPN for members where we will be hosting games over the coming weeks If anyone is interested add me to facebook and i will add invite you to the group. Seperate from this i also provide IT services and this can be done remotely and over the phone. If anyone needs assistance then please contact me i'll be happy to help for a small fee of course.

I've put off writing this thread for months,as nobody knows what to say to make me feel any better. There is nothing you really can say, but I know I have your support. As many as you know, I am having health problems. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, despite everybodies best efforts, the treatment has been unsuccessful and I am now terminal. Im not sure how much longer I've got, probably weeks, hopefully months but I will keep posting for as long as possible!! You will be wondering what will happen to Zebedee as I am now too poorly to drive him. Well I have sold him to an active and respected member of the forum so he's not going to disappear!!

Hello again, In your opinion what are some of the best driving roads in Europe? I remember seeing a post with a fella from the UK taking his Z on a huge Eurotrip. Where have YOU taken your Z? It would be my dream to take my Z over and see the continent.

So where's the best place to buy a new DPF for a Nissan Qashqai DCi ? The one i have is past repair and i now need it replaced asap as its basically a straight through pipe. Garage prices are far too expensive so i'm planning to fit it myself.

Hi guys ive not been on here for quite a while so I’ve lost track a bit i was trying to find out if anyone has any news on vince and if he still has his zed the last time I spoke to him he wasn’t very well so just trying to get an update cheers

I know it's a little bit late but I'm across in Holland. Hope Santa got you what you wanted! This year my zed will be back out. Its only done 5000 miles since 2013? Hope to see you soon. Enjoy! Johno

Great day at Silverstone driving BMW's Ferrari's and best of all the Aston Martin Vantage V8 twin turbo.. I hope the link works.

With so much doom and glum on the news its nice to see something positive. Well done to Steve Brooks and Matt Jones on flying around the world in a WW2 Spitfire. Well done guys ? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7760133/Two-British-pilots-Steve-Brooks-Matt-Jones-land-Silver-Spitfire-Britain.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR3KZ9QlohwHuthtVYWzrFEgerRFPyotXTt5cn45jT9OrPnpBe9k-J_d2IQ

Not far to travel on the metro underground, my wife and I visited Shanghai International Automobile City, it was a quiet area with dealerships scattered about. There is a museum in one of the buildings and this was our reason for our visit and here are some of the cars I chose to picture, first a Mercedes 300SL, thought the colour of this was superb. What next, how about a little mini.... There was a GTR... And from the rear..... And a write up.... A coontash…. E-type….. A Dino... Another Ferrari.... Then an old Datsun..... 240z..…. With a w…

You can never replace raw power at its most powerful.

I was just wondering around my garden racking up the leaves and found this massive thing. Any ideas what it is?

I had to borrow the wife’s car a few days ago. As soon as I set off I noticed the brake pad warning light was on and a horrible rumble when applying the brakes. I remembered that the MOT, which was about a month ago, had advised that the disc needed to be changed but the pads still had some meat on them (not that I would have kept the pad when changing the discs). I went out and set about replacing the discs and was horrified to find this... I also wanted to change the anti-roll bar linkage. The near side came off easy enough (which was the side that got flagged as having slight play in it on the mot) but the off side has proven to be a pig. The all…

has the for sale section gone? i can't seem to be able to find it.

We have a new British 6 times World Champion in F1 :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Hi guys Can someone please explain how or why a refund from an item I brought on eBay is getting refunded to my paypal account? I paid for the item via my bank card and have been told I will be refunded to my “PayPal balance”. I don’t use paypal. :confused1::confused1: Chris.

Japan v Scotland a big game today that is going ahead despite the typhon. My father was born in Scotland and my Mother is half Japanese I am in a delemma again :)

Who else has a 300zx picture in their work space?

Good car makers but even better at rugby :lol:.

I'm not an Audi fan, but I do like the latest TT (in RS guise); but this is a sad indictment of where cars are going. Apparently no-one wants sports cars anymore - just MPVs and cross-overs.... Really? Mercedes is killing off the SLC at the end of the year - for pretty much the same reason....:sad: I know sports cars always sell in far smaller quantities - and manufacturers make their money on bread-and-butter variants, but we need companies like Audi k…

As the other thread is now closed, I thought I'd say thanks for the welcome back. Still a lurker from time to time. I cant believe its been almost 7 years since I had a 300zx! Hope all is well in the world of damp knees, wet mafs and PTU's!
