My torque converter blew today while I was on lunch (its been making a funny noise). Funnily when I was spielin' to the old lady at the weekend I said 'Torque converter could go in 6 hours or it could go in 6 months'. Well it actually lasted about 5 hours and 40 min. :(

Hello there good people... Got back form JAE at about 4pm today after a great first experience of the event. First of all I have to say that it was great to meet Chunk on the Sat night (hammered tho I was) and Craig David from the internet (again, you may have been as gone as me but I'm not sure, I remember we had a great big long conversation about loads of random things though) before I went back to my tent and drank with some random girl until girl until 4am :duffer: .... (no other details of that available)... up at 8am with the twatty heat burning through my tent like a fireball. :( Then I met Bee Gee Vinz today, and saw the Blingest Bling that ever Bling…

going to have my car interior done in Alcantara (real stuff not fake or cheap) dont know what colour to go for thinking red any ideas.going to cost 180 + vat for 3m not doing seats yet until i found some more seats i like.

Well something else came out of JAE, my wife really wants one of these!! Pretty smart little roadsters these... What do you guys think!

As title, does anyone know a rough guestimate on the sort of numbers for Z32's in the UK? Or even the total worldwide production figure for the Z32? This does have a very good reason behind it :)

Gavin Balmer, just received the Z-Club mag and read his obituary, I can't quite beleive it, never met the guy but was one I definately wanted to! My sincere condolencies to friends and family. :(

Hi guys, just looking through all your pics from JAe and seems i missed a good party (seats aside!). Damn mates wedding saw me driving south on the a1 as everyone else was leaving on sunday on the othersdie of the road! Just wondering where the next big national event would be zed wise? Cheers andy

Came back from JAE on the saturday and gotta say what weird weather it was on the day............after spending ages on the car the night before getting it cleaned it was absolutly pissing it down on the way up to JAE........arrived with a very filthy looking car and i wasint even prepared............no cleaning equipment at all..............got the car cleaned with a little help and enjoyed most of the show..................some very nice Zeds from a few of the members and met a few of them aswell......... Top bunch of guys :bow: I also have to apoligise to chunk for making so much noise trying to sort out a conzult issue and had to to do a few runs on one of…

i have fitted my new gauges today and im getting some wierd readings from my boost gauge. i put boost jets in a few weeks ago 1.2mm and the stock boost gauge went from 11psi to just under 14psi (i know these gauges are out) so today i wired my new one up and took it out and said 9.5psi with the stock one still saying 14psi. then coming home after 20min driving i gave it some and the new clock read 7-7.5 psi when i take my foot off the throttle the gauge goes to -20psi :confused: any ideas

Is anyone up to date with the series? I have just seen the last episode of season 2. What? another cliffhanger.. :( Nothing now until next year. and its the same with "Prison Break". I think the long (almost a year) break between each season can spoil it? :smash:

Chunk a big thanks for arranging the event was good to see you.

3000 posts to me :D :D

So... I decided it would be a good idea to replace the moulding beside the windscreen, roof and targa tops. All went pretty well, but man there were some rusty screws holding the targas together (I had to take them apart to refit that bit - as someone already posted, this top guide explains how: replacing mouldings ). One @rsey little one had rusted so bad I took the top clean off trying various methods of unscrewing it and have now resorted to drilling the s0d out. But, like the Murpheys, I'm not bitter. I am however only with one half of the roof on the car right now due to having only completed one side. Moral of the story: If you are going to attempt to take…

Clear your messages mate.Can't send you a PM.I think its on the back of the cheque.Simon. :cool:

To anyone who doesn't keep an eye on the FAQs, and in case anyone's interested, I've just finished fitting LEDs to illuminate what on the US cars are the side-markers. And written it up here... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=76538 Loads of people have probably done it before, but I haven't found it written up anywhere. Personally, I don't think the photos don't quite do it justice- looks better in the flesh and I'm dead happy with my work! :D Mark

Had some snotty reply from somebody on ebay who said mine was the first rusting J-Spec car he has heard of. Basically i have a minor amount of bubbling on the rear arches. So i was wondering, is it just mine of do any other j-spec owners have this problem.
