General Discussions - Non 300ZX

So I've been applying for jobs in abroad as an English teacher and have been offered a position with 3 different companies. Nothing is set in stone but its at the 95% stage and awaiting for confirmation. I will be taking the best offer of the three so atm its a waiting game. Having said that I could be gone within a month at the earliest. Ill be moving to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am excited to go KSA and nervous to leave the UK. The weather will be a big change something we are all looking forward to and so are the benefits that come with the job mainly tax free income :chinese: On a side note everyone is pushing me to sell my zx and I haven't entertained the…

laptop: ASUS PS: windows vista business Whilst typing e-mail or here get slow key beep sounds and a pop box suggesting this device can perform better (usb) ??? no usb stick in and if I type a long email or post I get blue screen of death and a message bugcode_usb_driver Goggle suggests the usb driver issue but all usb ports working fine, tried a reset to previous time and still the same. Tries microsoft fix it download, reported after problem fixed, but still the same. Only thing I can think of is last week updated ADOBE READER X as I could not open a pdf file, is that a possible conflict but device manager reports no issues, is it worth uninstal…

A family member is looking at buying a 2008 Astra diesel with 60K on the clock. £4900 Any specific problems with these cars? Other than it being an Astra :lol:

Anyone had much experience with kittens? I've had cats before, but usually adult cats. I've got this cute little dot of a thing who was neutered last week, all went well, but last night she thought it was an awesome idea to chew all of her stitches out. Now, she's not drawn blood, but it looks pretty tender there. It doesn't appear to have gone septic just yet and when she wakes up later, I'll dab in some salty water. Just wondering, is this a regular occurrence, those that have had any dealings with kittens? She's a house-cat, for now, so she's unlikely to get it infected from outside sources and my house is squeaky clean.

As some of you know, I ditched my sub and large amplifier from the boot of my Z. I have never been a fan of having ICE on show and I wanted my boot back! So, my next process is to beef up the sound coming from the 4 speakers in the car. Now the head unit is an Alpine IVA-W200RI - getting a little old now, but still a good system. It is 4x50w peak and 18w RMS - it also has a 6 channel pre-out. I am a complete novice with car audio. I am not interested in a competition system as I can't think of anything more boring than taking part in a 'Sound-off' or ruining the car's performance and handling with half a tone of speakers etc. I want a basic system that sou…

few days ago i was transferring some files from my laptop to hard drive and hdd to laptop. it switched off and rebooted itself. i tried it again and it switched off again. now it wont even load up. it comes up at the windows did not shut down properly, it wont go into safe mode nor will it fix the eorrs. it does the error check and when asked to restore to a previous known working configuration upon selecting yes it does it thing and i got a blue error screen first time was page_fault_in_nonpage_area. second time bad_pool_header and third time fatal system error. ive got a shit load of stuff on there and i know i could possibly recover most of the data by pulling the hd…

Renault Megane 1.6i 16v petrol 2004 non starter Not often I ask for tech help here but this has me pulling the remaining hair I have out, if any Renault techs or Megane owners with similar issues here have any ideas please suggest away Ok hope someone can help my daughter broke down last week and we towed the car home, today we spent 5 hours freezing our backsides off on her drive trying to get some where with the non starter and despite "proving" what is not the problem we still have a non starter. So to start with it is a 2004 megane 1.6i 16 valve. The daughter was was driving home quite normally at 30mph or so when it lost power and she coaste…

Not sure if any of you remember, I have managed to get a set of split rims from an RX-7 we have here at work. Now I took some photos of them with my phone but the wheels were absolutely filthy and the photos looked dreadful..... Well, I've got them home now and I've cleaned them up. Other than some minor curbing damage, I am really starting to like them. Kinda considering getting them refurbed and fitting them to the Zed and selling my Rays wheels. Found some photos. The wheels being Siena Generation 2. ...fitted to a Poopra.

Yo yo! all you lovely Zedheads! It seems like forever since I have been here and it is nice to see a few old names still online at silly o'clock in the morning.. :sleep1: Sadly i have someone coming round this weekend to look at my car and I fear i will never drive my Zed again :crying: I am genuinely sad... However.. it does free up the garage for a new jap toy which i have my eyes on... So i can still come to japfest and be subject to all the schoolyard sing song bullying while you lightweights try and keep up :punk:.... can you say.. peado peado, peado bear etc etc.... :wacko: I can say hand on heart that I will one day have another Zed in my life.…

Already hitting 2,000 posts after 6 months! I doubt I'll ever reach my previous 'banned' user status of some 35,000 posts....I think it was!? Oh well, happy 2000th to me! :)

Cooking a slap up fillet steak for everyone full works blah blah blah. They've got this shitty electric oven that i barely knew how to use. steak went cooking under the grill but I'd already turned the fat on in the pan to do some onion rings :wink: turned the hob off but forgot that It would remain very hot and ended up smoking the house out haha panicked like **** and took the pan of stupidly hot fat off the hob and put it on the counter side. WHICH IS NOW SUFFERING FROM 1ST DEGREE BURN MARKS. OH SHITE! !!!!

I don't like selling stuff on eBay as I've been messed around in the past but put my car on last night & got quite a bit of interest already. Got a message from a collector in New York or so they say, it seems a bit far fetched. Am I being over cautious? Obviously I won't do anything stupid like give him my bank details or the car for free. Here's the message anyway. He's asked me the date of manufacture.

My cousin has been crying out for a hat like this since a year now; his birthday is coming up soon so I thought I would surprise him with one of them..they where famous in the early 70´s and I even recall them seeing them on those 1930´s movies with street gangs in NY city on Mickey Rooney films. Can anyone tell me if they know the name of these type of hats and where to buy one?? Hat is the jackson 5 member on the 1st beggining on the left. Thanks!!!

Evening chaps, Apologies if this is already posted somewhere really obvious. I've tried a forum search but couldn't find anything. What is the best place to buy O.E.M. parts? (preferably in the U.K.) - I'm going to need A LOT of parts over the coming months for my project. Many thanks!

Has anyone suffered damage to an alloy wheel and successfully claimed repair/replacement costs back from the council ???? If so, how did you go about it and what was the time-frame involved ???? I hit a rather large pothole on a corner and damaged one of my vans 18" alloys :-( ..........

I helped out a friend by mending her Parrot bluetooth fitted to her new car...... All seemed good after spending 2 hours stripping the stereo and dash, plugging back in the connector that had come out of the Parrot control unit and putting it all back together.... She gave me £20 for my time and all was good in the world...... Then I got a text this evening that her airbag light was on...... After some research when I finished work today......( good old google search ).....lol I found out the airbag light on the dash cannot be unplugged or it causes the airbag system to see a fault...... and it had popped out when I was removing the stereo trim..... Only way to …

Well for those that haven't seen or heard yet there will be a rematch of the epic fight on May 31st this year at an unknown venue as of yet. Cannot wait!! There will be a knockout in my opinion and it will be a Froch knockout :wink:

Need a quick inspection of a bmw before I commit, anyone near there who can help?

As we have had a couple of high speed car videos posted recently, I thought I would post one of my favourites... Course de Côte de Gemenos, near Marseille. Best experienced with the volume up. [video=youtube_share;Wgzi7A02kSY] As you can see there is very little margin for error on that hill climb. Balls of steel! The car is a NORMA M20 powered by a BMW M3 400bhp 3 litre straight six engine.

Road tax reminder came through today for the Q7, Bloody £490 for year:2guns: Half a grand for WHAT!!! rant over:hang:

Well had this for 2 months now....really cant wait to drive it in the dry!!!!

In the light of yet another celebrity ( Dave lee Travis ) found not guilty on alleged historic indecent assault case does anyone else feel troubled by the media and police frenzy on this. Can you imagine 18 months of waiting around and having your life taken apart, your reputation, the very core of your family smashed, and as said on the news the last celeb DLT has had to sell his house to defend himself, all of its seems wrong when taking into the details of many of these cases quite what the CPS were thinking I do not know. With more cases still to be heard in court yet I can see the same happening, in the case of Coronation Street star one of the alleged vic…

Thought we could do a Friday Night Funnies much like our other Friday night thread ! I'll start us off : [video=youtube_share;yLpLkB1L1UA]http://youtu.be/yLpLkB1L1UA [video=youtube_share;ACGClMQeV4M] [video=youtube_share;lH9Y5d2jZgQ]
