General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Since it now appears to be fashionable for folk to want to change their user name, should I change mine to 'SimonP' as used on various other non-Z or non-Nissan related forums? Funkysi was part of a stupid email address (now defunct) that I had when 'Hotmail' as it was then known as burst onto then scene in 1996 whilst I was still at college and people were using all sorts of stupid and retarded usernames, so maybe it's still befitting and relevant. :lol: - - - Updated - - - I bet slickpete will vote the 3rd one. :lol: - - - Updated - - - Hahahaha and he has! :lol:

Every time I try and look into the Mondo re-trim group buy to find out whats happening i get the message below. I can see others have replyed to the threads due to the date change. Just would like an update as I put money forward at the time. I can get into everything else within the site except anything to do with the group buy??

Afternoon all I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if it’s possible to reconditioned a seat motor. My Navaras driver seat forward/back motor has stopped working. I’ve taken it all apart and there’s signs of heat damage on the copper coiling. I called Nissan to order a new motor and was told they only come with a new seat base at nearly £1k +vat. I’d rather get mine reconditioned if possible than try my luck with a second hand unit. Many thanks for you advice, Chris.

Seen this for sale at the NEC Classic Car Sale Auction and if I had the money I would be bidding. Should I sell the Z :) http://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/jenson-button%e2%80%99s-old-bmw-m5-v10-could-be-yours/ar-BBOVgoK?ocid=ientp

I'll be going along for a few hours this Sunday, anyone else wana go? Last one of the year for me.

Hi all, A favourite past time I was into was the CB radio. Unfortunately with advances in internet technologies and communications CB radio is not gone but greatly depreciated and quickly disappearing. I have been following a new craze for some time now and I think its something we can all get involved with nationally and globally. Basically what's been done is to take the inners of a android phone and put it in the design and case of a CB radio. Coupled with a few apps for android you can now use Internet Voice Chat over 3G/4G and wifi. Its basically like a reincarnation of the CB radio with the bonus of been able to chat all over the world.…

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/m40-crash-three-dead-after-car-towing-caravan-drives-wrong-way-up-busy-motorway/ar-BBOsmFC?ocid=ientp My condolences to the three people who died but so many questions and thoughts come into my head about this. 1 How do you manage get into the wrong lane of the motorway? 2 When in the wrong lane why not stop on the hard shoulder if you cant get of the motorway. 3 Why travel at 60mph down the wrong way on the fast lane. 4 At 80 years of age I would like to still be driving but if a medical shows I shouldn't then please get me of the road. 5 Towing a caravan at 80 you need to be a very good driver but my guess is you w…

I’m laying in bed waiting for the wife to join me when she starts screaming in the bathroom. She comes running into the bedroom to tell me there’s a massive creature in the bathroom. Being the big brave husband I get thrown into the bathroom to investergate and see the biggest wasp ever. Now this ****er was too big to swat, in fact I think it would have over powered me and starting betting me with the rolled up news paper, so I grabbed the wasp spray and unloaded the can on it’s head. I shit you not the ******* was 45mm in length and it’s sting looked like a nitting needle hanging out it’s arse. I’ve looked it up and I think it was an Asian Hornet!

Geoffrey from Rainbow has sadly passed away.... …..Whilst he's been our of the limelight for many years now, who among us (of a certain age, naturally) did not watch Rainbow as kids....? RIP Geoffrey..:sad:

Not to be dissuaded by past Renault ownership and the associated electrical problems, I'm considering a Twingo 133 to replace my Mazda 6. Anyone ever driven one, know what they're like? In my case it'll be for mostly urban and suburban driving, so I'm fine with sacrificing some comfort for fun.

What could possible be worse than getting stopped on the motorway by VOSA.

'Czech prime minister Andrej Babis said: "We hope that finally we will reach a deal but basically I am very unhappy that the UK is leaving, so it would be better maybe to make another referendum and maybe the people in the meantime could change their view." Typical EU. If you don't get the result you wanted, ask the question another way until you get the answer you want. One of the main reasons I voted out !

Nearly had a bad accident yesterday on the way home from work when a small van decided he was in the wrong lane and just swerved into my lane causing me to break heavy to avoid a collision. I blared my horn at him but he took no notice. So today I took great pride in watching a video of another van driver getting his just rewards. :) I know all van drivers are not bad drivers but some do think they can get away with anything. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/you-done-scuffed-my-ve-hicle-shocking-moment-van-hurtles-straight-into-a-norfolk-roundabout-and-flies-through-the-air-in-dukes-of-hazzard-style-scene/ar-BBNh6bf?ocid=ientp

So been with bennetts for 5 years and always had competitive motorcycle insurance quotes,but this year for some reason they of gone of the scale! This year they want £380 for my insurance with 5 years no claims,when ringing them they said that was there best price....but he would run my details again and see if there was anything that he could do,so after 10 minutes running through my details again he miraculously got it down to £280, so after telling them I'd get back to them and him giving me a reference number Id get back to him, so after spending some time on the internet I ended up with Hastings for £120 and got exstra personal cover with that as well,when I did r…

In yesterdays Grand Prix Vettel complaind that Lewis Hamilton closed the door on him and didnt leave him any room. If you see the overhead shots of the incident it is clear that Hamilton left plenty of room and it was Vettel not controlling his car on the limit that caused his own demise. But he wont admit that and is still blaming Hamilton WTF ?

Just wondering if you guys can offer some advice here. My wife brought some stuff via Amozon. She received the order and all was well. A week later she received a text saying she owed customs duty. Not sure if this was a scam she ignored it. Then she received a letter. This was about three weeks ago. I’ve just asked her what the outcome was only to be told she’d forgotten about it. So what do you guys think, scam, real, needs to pay or can forget about it as she’s got the goods? Cheers, Chris.

Saturday we got the Dover ferry to Calais. Having sorted a trip with the Z to France for the bank hols! We ended up in a place called Peronne! Then Sunday back through Amien, Abbyville, Boulogne to Calais today! 260 round trip for the Z with lots & lots of looks!

I saw episode 6 last night, I must be getting old but I found a lot of the twisted humour absolutely disgusting, I ended up forcing myself to watch it almost to prove to myself that I could!! If you haven't seen any of the series you have been warned!!

As my last big thread is now closed I thought about all our old threads from years ago. So if you can remember any of the GOOD old stuff I would like to see them.I will start of with this one. :biggrin: https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?86757-BeeGeeVinz-bling-d-up-Reliant-Robin

Well after lots of thoughts on my new daily driver, I ended up following my head not my hart, so now I've had my car a couple of days now and I must say I'm really enjoying it,it's not as quick as my 535d M Beamer but it's not bad, and so much more refined than the Beamer, great car all round and averaging twice the mileage than the BMW it's got full AMG spec so bigger brakes bigger AMG wheels sat nav heated seats and AMG mats and a little bit more power than standard:),so my GTR is going to have to wait,unless I sell my 300 and get one anyway ummm....nahhhh...I'll keep,the 300?.
