General Discussions - Non 300ZX

I understand that John Helps passed away late last week. At the moment I have no more details than that, save for I believe his death may have been diabetes related. He was a member here and a frequent contributor in the relatively short time he owned a Z. If anybody has met him or knows him personally then we can send some flowers or make donation to a nominated charity etc. I hope to have some more details later and I expect something will already have been posted on IMOC, RX-7 forums etc.

in Christchurch....bloody hideous in the flesh IMO.

I know she'd like to do it to me if I spend to much time on the zed :x: I also told her how life-like the scale was as well :)

Hi Peeps, Now the feature's in the shops (and looking good! :dance: ) where do you want the CD of hi-res pics sent to? Cheers, Steve. P.S Appologies to anyone who had a dicky tummy the next morning, the burgers looked like they were cooked through! P.P.S I meant it when I said you guys were the friendliest bunch we've had on a Thrash! :bow:

One full day I've had been using a cerment mixer all afternoon so my back is killing me. Then had to wash/wax my Rover 214i someone coming to see it. I'm almost dead. Wish me luck guys the insurance runs out tomorrow.

thanks again jack (maxsunny)for the lovely super dragger exhaust lol,got it on today and it looks superb and sounds propa again,it was worth the drive i say. :dance: will

I noticed you can get a 2001 CL500 for £15K or there abouts. I don't have £15K to spend on a car but I'm always planning ahead. Anyone know if they're any good? 5 litre v8 and they look nice to me. I know Mercades have had issues of late so maybe they're expensive problems?

right guys, the thought of selling is ripening in my head!! i love my zed to bits but im not sure if i can warrant spending the money on it that i need to spend to get it looking how i want. im thinking of selling and putting the cash towards a nissan silvia s15. Im not definatly going to sell up although the thought as been in my mind for a few weeks now. no doubt a good wash and polish and a nice drive out will cure me, but as of this moment im searching the net for s15 silvias. HELP! cheers si

anyone every done or fancied doing the gumball 3000?

As it says in the title, anyone got one and know how to use it? (anywhere in the midlands, nearer to nottingham would be very nice)

What ive done so far: Changed the spark plugs. Changed the coil connectors - all the plastic bits were broken. Took the PTU off and cleaned all the pins - started the car and it sounded fine, shortly after the missfiring started. Just done an ECU diagnostic - got the code 55 so no faults Surely it cant be the cas as the ECU showed no faults? Im thinking its the coils, what does everyone else think?

How cool is my birthday card…. This is the birthday card my misses had made for me. It’s only got my car on it. It was made by a lady who makes custom cards in the village where I live; she’s a really nice woman and all the money she makes goes to cancer research. She does it as a hobby and makes two a day (not bad for a hobby). I think she’s done an amazing job, the cars made up out of layers which give a really good 3D effect. Paul

do you think it will look better with clear indicators and red brake lights or have them both clear

Happy birthday m8y, I really do hope your having it off today :x: ooops, let me rephrase that...I hope your having the day off :wack: See you later :duffer: Hoprfully I can cast my eyes over the new Rainbow Zed :) I think what pauls up to is very sneeky.... He knows that darker zeds are extremely fast so hes done this amazing paint job that has all the colours of the rainbow in it :D .....now I think what he's done is very clever because he now knows that he must have the fastest Zed colourwise now......WRONG All that paint's just gonna slow it down again :wack: Mine being a single colour, less weight etc etc, will obviously …

My missus is on her way to Southampton mate (sorry I didn't realise until this morning), she has your heater matrix, collant adapter, belts, and a spare oil filter with her. Can you get in touch so I can give you her mobile and you can then meet her. She's seeing a client in Chilworth so quite close. I've gave her your address but the only number I had was your landline and not your mobile. If anyone has rodders mobile could you let me know. Thanks Dave

Hi guys :) I wasn't there, but the germans sent me 3 tapes of video material I had to cut down.... here's the result, enjoy :) (10minute vid) cheers, blacky

Well should have got my car back for good yesterday after I spent the last 2 days rebuilding all the bits and bats for him. I went home at about 3 and said I would come back in a couple of hours after it had been buffed up. Turned up at half 4 and about 4 of them where stood there looking at it, I thought they looked pee'd off but turns out that it has been sprayed and is Patchy. :cry: Well brought it home to store and its going back in in 3weeks time as he going on holiday! What a bummer! :mad: I never asked for the grills to be sprayed and why he cut a hole like that near the towing eye?? :wack: Not bad though? Shame I have to reverse into the gara…

was having a little look at the AMZ site and found this and not sure what it is, something to do with the drive train ? https://www.amzperformance.com/z32/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=1941&PHPSESSID=c58e01805d73111c7db4b59489cba4fa
