General Discussions - Non 300ZX

I had a pair of new Falken tyres fitted on the back of my Zed. Straight away the handling was terrible - all high speed stability was gone. After a bit of persuasion, I got Black Circles to swop them for Dunlops and the problem's gone away. No more cheapo tyres for me now. It's brand names my mother's heard of from now on. (I had Falkens the past and they were ok - 'ow queer!)

Christ, he doesn't look well. Looks like he's got the virus and it's gone full blown or he's been on the brown.

I think it would be a good idea to have a members 300zx of the month, And have a sticky with the list on and a pic of each car, and at the end of the year, Have it made up as a calendar??? Wot you think?

just a reminder to all the south east guys whats going on this weekend in londons cannary wharf on sunday about 12.30 so come on boys lets be avin you yeah :dance:

My mate spun his into a tree this morning! Looks like he'll need some parts. Any ideas where to look? Specialist traders / breakers? Forums? Cheers gents

Do you think these will fit the Zed?

Just bought this what do you reckon?

well not scratch free but self repairing, was on this morning with fern and philip (was waiting for lunch time news lol) and they had some braniac telling us about new invetions and how the world is going to end and so on and he said nissan are bringing out a paint that is so soft that in the sun or heat it will run, so if you scratch your car ypou heat it up with a hair dryer, then hey presto good as new, apperently it is softer rader than harder than normal paint btu what i want to know is what happens when its really hot and all the paint drips off lol :wack: good invention though-if it works

Just flicking throught the telly and on M&M a program about the history of the Nissan Z. Probably Z32 would get a mention. ronnie

just come back from FG bodyshop in notts where luke from zcentre & numerous other zed owners have had there bodywork done, & there was a very nice swb wide arch tt with zcentre lambo door kit which looks like a good kit apart from there is a slight wobble in doors its identical to lukes zed with same alloy lights interior etc but different colour, thought ill just mention it on the forum, sorry no pics at mo ill try to get some soon plus the owner isnt on here yet but ive spoke to him & told him how helpful/friendly peeps are on this forum plus the general benefits of joinning a great forum like this :D :xxx: :tongue:

Happy Birthday Si! Hope all is well in the land of the ogre. I made a dirty great cake for your consumption. Just having it loaded into the back of a LWB Transit.

whats the differance between the uk fogs and the jspec i've had a 99 spec front bumper but the indicators have been wired up to my original uk lights. i would like to wire them up to my new indicators. (hope this makes sense)

It's a thin 18" scrap above the passenger side rear wheel arch :mad: Plus they've put a dent in it! You would think that people would notice such a nice car and take a bit of care when parking. It's not the end of the world but it just makes me so mad that people would do that then just bugger off without even an apology. I'm not a violent man but i'd pop them square in the face if i had seen them do it :xxx: I've only had the car a couple of months and it's already had 2 people hit her :mad: It's not always a pleasure to have a zed as a daily driver. Rant over, i'll still have a smile on my face when I drive her all weekend :tongue:

My zed was imported in from Japan last september and according to the DVLA the CO 2 rating is 'O' with an engine capacity of 2996CC which means i will pay £175 for car tax not £210 :smash: To check yourself:- go to http://www.dvla.gov.uk --> English Version --> Taxing your vehicle online --> Apply for a tax disc online --> Vehicle Enquiry --> Enter your registration plate then choose Vehicle Make --> Next - et voila

My head gaskets buggered and so will I be if the missus finds out the quotes i've been getting for repairs. Anyone know good garages in central Scotland that will take on the job for

i was on the GTR forum today & was surprised to read a thread were a r33 gtr owner was struggling against a focus rs in a straight line untill the gtr reached 100 mph plus he seems quite dissapointed but i suppose the focus rs isnt a slow car but i would have thought the gtr would have no probs gainst the rs ?? so that means the rs would give a zed few problems as well

i have just filled my daily drive ( 1.4 astra ) up for the second time this year, what fuel comsumption i am impressed

are the light weight pulley's the same for twin turbo and NA

Yes, i have now broken the £3K mark by quite a way :shock: And still got the stuff for my MOT to come yet :shock: :slap:

as you know im going through a claim with the motoring industry buraeu (mib), but because it is going through an independant solicitor instead of an insurance company solicitor, would i have to let other insurance companies know that i am claiming my case is that it aint an insuranec claim, its an accident claim that is being fought with my own solicitor through the mib, against an unisured driver so technically i aint making a car insurance claim, does that make sense please help bud also the crash werent my fault

Nice to have it in, car runs about 70 degrees now compared to 80 before :) Bugger to get the rad in though and now nothing to clip my bonnet stay to so removed it and stuck it in the boot .
