General Discussions - Non 300ZX

After all the moaning i'm just going to stick NZR in front of everything i post :) Right went to see Miami Vice on Sunday, has anyone else seen it? What did you think? I wasn't hugely won over, i loved Heat by Michael Mann (a remake of his old film LA Takedown) but this just didn't really go anywhere. Mann's got an ear for noise, the shootout sequences are excellent and the sound effects from the guns and from the cars/boats are amazing. Anyone else?

I'm getting itchy feet and fancy a new challenge. After coming back from the States I'm possibly going to apply for some jobs over in New Zealand. Just wondering if anyone has ever worked out there. Because it's part of the commonwealth, obtaining work visas shouldn't, in theory, be a major issue. I understand that there are always quite a range of jobs over in NZ and that skilled professionals are in short supply, although my chosen field of work is obviously a little restrictive, I'll give it a go anyway.

As its pretty late to book anything major we have decided camping is the only thing we can do for a quick cheapish holiday. So if anyone can recommend any sites they have been to with good facilities, lots to do close by or within a reasonable drive. Cheers Mike

cleaned the engine bay today, did all the way around and under everything. heres a pic before i finished the back of the engine bay, but it came up quite nicely. tomorrow i remove the headlights, clean the light pods and mounting points, pull the radiator for a clean and drain the coolant before a nice refill. clean some of the connectors and pipes, remove front calipers and strip and clean refit seals etc then do rears. so not too much to do!!

Out of interest, how do you perform a successful launch when doing a 1/4 mile run? What revs should you be running at and is it ok to dump the clutch or will you be sweeping the gearbox off the floor?

Put the wifes Corsa in autotrader last night and sold it tonight!! :eek: Best £36 I've ever spent,Looks like the '600' will be in next-or fleabay :o :wack:

Would any of the Regional Event Organisers be interested in arranging with me a mini meet so I could spend proper time with the cars from your area. That way, even the zeds who can't make it to the shows can be on film. If I could arrange with you a weekend and a place, maybe you could get a group of people from your area who want to show off their zeds to meet up. Likewise, if you have a zed that you think should be on the DVD, reply to this thread and I will make sure I get proper time with you. I have all new car mounts - lenses and cameras - so some driving footage would be on the cards.

Hi all, i'm new here and this is a great site, i'm not trying to make you all leave this site, just letting you know that I have a chat server for you all if you would like to go in there, I have made a dedicated room for the zed fans, you don't have to go in there if you don't want to, it's just there, if so, just PM me for the link.

well another busy day, taking the light pods out and cleaning the bay and inside the lights... well i managed to get the lights out easier than i thought!! i had to take the fan out from the front but that was nothing. while out i removed the old piece of plastic pipe left from the old filter setup. also spent the day cleaning and painting all the brackets and air filter holder. pics attatched..

just in case you haven't seen it cars for sale section. i'm selling time to call it a day :(

i have got 10 days away in sunny france starting tomorrow, will be such a relaxing well deserved break. got a kitchen full of wine and a few good books so will be a chilled out time. have got a hire car so can travel around the area a bit, should be great! see you all in a couple of weeks

It looks like ill have to sell my z and fto mivec, as both cars cannot carry 2 adult and 3 children, my 3rd child is due on the 24th of this month so i went and had a look at a few nice evo's today and the wife is happy with my choice as she would be the main driver as i also have my rac van.

We're thinking of getting an X5 for Mrs W. Anyone here have any knowledge/experience of owning one of these? Cheers, Dave

Joely P has started on the downward spiral of dressing his engine bay.

Since fews days (or week but didn't notice before), I can't send any PM. Is that normal?

...this made me chuckle :D http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/08/minimotorcycle.html

So today I replaced my realy crappy cd player with a slightly less crappy cd player. Tomoro I will replace my very crappy front speakers with some better 6.5 80 watt ones. OK not grweat but hopefully I will be able to hear something.

On the way to the Z Club South East Kent meet today, I had a little bit of fun with a 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S - until he started jumping across 3 lines of motorway out of embarrisment! I expected him to pull away from me, but no, I kept up with him and I still had plenty left. I was very impressed with my zed :bow:

I'v been thinking about my engine bay at lot lately as it's dirty. As you might have guessed I quite like shiney bits LOL. But I've also seen some very nice Powder Coated bits and thought they look nice especially if in the same colour as a car's interior. When time and money premits I intended to change my grey leather interior to red leather(MX5 type colour) interior I'm now considering the same colour for bits in my engine bay. Any thoughts?????

I cant believe it, i put some shiny valve caps on my wheels for jae. They looked alright had a nice little z on the top. Went to coventry to see some friends on saturday night, kept looking out the window to make sure the car was ok. Going back home on sunday i noticed that some little sh!t has nicked all my valve caps. :rant: Whats wrong with people these days?
