Fitting the new engine in my old E30 coupe? Few beers in it and some cash! Probably take a couple of days max. And whilst I am on here, hello to all I have not seen for ages if any of you are still around ;)

There seem to be alot of problematic Zed threads around at the moment so Ive decided to start a thread about how great our cars are. :bow: Ive had mine for 5 years and it hasnt cost me anything other than servicing, tyres etc and I love it!! :bow: :dance: Not all Z's have problems and I know we all feel for you guys that are having troubles. :( Nuff said!

I was following this auction and this Zed seems to have sold for fairly decent money (by Ebay standards :rolleyes: ) It finished at £4,500 and looks like a fine example as well :bow: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4618077942&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Could have put some more info in the description tho :smash: Steve :)

check it out! seems like a decent ride, i am almost really tempted! :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4618829939&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX

Well after travelling back from Germany i got my Oval BlueFlame exhaust on. Fookin brilliant. Had it deliverd to Macs then fitted in Catterick. Nice sound. Burbles at low revs and not to loud at speed. Well recomended. :bow:

Ok own up, how many of you have had a lump on the side of the head after a back end twitch? I will own up to have two lumps one for booting it to catch up to a Scooby damn those on ramps in the wet, and one for going into a wet roundabout far to quick after burning off the said scooby. Just to add my missus nicked the Zed this morning, I can't belive it she hates the thing.

So following on from my earlier post, http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=67402, it seems that I have a different type of targa bag to a lot of peeps, certainly that I've seen any way! They are a heavey construction, quite thick, with padding inside, they come with four clips to hold both bags together whilst in transit and a long strip of velcro to hold the flap down. So who else has these bags, and can anyone confirm whether they are OEM or not?? TIA Dave

i wasnt going to say anything but prehaps i shoudl. i havent been myself for a while been waiting for results to come in reguarding the recent surgery i had, still waiting and its doing my head in. but that aside its not as bad as what ikelly and i went through today. we went to the midwife and docs had the little machine put on and heard the babys heart beat for the first time.. burst into tears.. then blood tests. there is a chance that my illnesses will be passed on, worse case, baby is born with them. i knew these tests weredue but now they have been taken it feels like the world is on our shoulders, and now for me its getting a bit much. im a lit…

Cant believe another valuable member is leaving us, reading between the lines I think we all know why! big brother does it again. Never mind life still goes on PK1 you will be missed mate hope before you sell your car I can still have your boot carpet lol anyway good luck and keep in touch ( you will still get andi nvite to the BBQ's at the southwest meets the pictures will not be the same without you

Just a note to say that I have put my 300 on ebay as i can no longer keep her due to work commitments. :( So for anyone who's interested see link below. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4620452988&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

I'm currently about to re-do my interior panels, this time in leather, Box Red leather to be precise :cool: I've got a full hide on it's way (should be here tomorrow), it's 9' x 8', which is 54 Sq Feet in area (Yes I know that should be 72 Sq Feet, but a cow isn't rectangular :rofl: ) Now I beleive that I won't need all of this, so I'm open to (sensible) sugestions as to what to do with the rest of it?! Sugestion one is to have the handbrake gator made up again. Sugetion two is to make a few handbrake gators up and sell them :D ....... any more ideas?

One of my brothers friends has just taken a job in japan informed me that he may be able to get some chrome light inserts for the 300ZX sent back... I said they are high quality as the are manufactured in mirror plastic and are used units which have been chromed... i know i would really like a pair as they look soo good on a black Zed!!! :dance: I think we would need about 20 takers to make it worth while and the price should be about £100 a set... i could distribute them at JAE or post them to people who want a set... Anyone interested?

All this exitement about chromimg headlights and the better lighting for night driving, and costs of £200 and the trouble of taking your lights out as well, I think you should decide what you are after.....looks or brighter lights. Admittedly they really look superb chromed but I bought a set of HID's for £120 plus £25 postage from Australia, and they are absolutely incredible. Its like driving in daylight. I am considering buying a set for mainbeam as they look decidedly yellow. If your into the bling bit and fancy the work of taking your headlamps out, why not just buy some chrome paint at £7.95 and the HID's at £145 inc postage, and end up with the best of both worlds …

Why can't I see my profile and rides pics? Just uploaded them but they don't seem to be on display :confused: Thanks in advance

Happy Birthday mate, hope your having a good one... :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

I think I deleted some files that have stopped my pc from starting up. Can anyone possibly send or lend me a start up disc for XP? I have very basic pc knowledge so I'm hoping this makes sense! Maybe I could download something from the Microsoft website? Thing is, I'm not sure what! Thanks in advance, any help really appreciated.

cleaning car and seen this, was going to get 60k service done in about a week, just wanted to know what u made of this does that mean it has been done? will have it done anyway just trying to work out some history as its j-spec. thanks

who's a biggest whore thread ??? in third place is steve with a good effort 9.95 posts per day in second place is vince with a magnificent 11.55 posts per day and in 1st place ..................... funkysi with a whooping 13.94 posts per day - you've got to get out more :tongue:

How bloody hard is that to do. Started on the centre console cover last night - removed grey tweed. Got some Evo-Stick - thinned it down a bit - painted leatherette and armrest pad - waited 15 mins - stuck it on - adjusted - adjusted some more, got a crease in the corners so adjusted some more, crease in the other corner - adjusted some more - other corner then pulled away and creased - now Im left with a cover which is all crappy round the edges - think Im gonna pay someone to do it. Best quote Ive had so far is £300 for the door cards, and console tweed.

Well Ryan recons its most likely head gasket but gonna do a couple more tests. If it is then thats £1250+vat, DOH!!!!!! So the engines gonna have to come out. What other things should I be looking at doing to save money in the future? Turbos...recon the ones I have in there with the 360degree bearings or whatever it is, or two slightly bigger ones :dance: How much is the next size up and is it a case of putting them on and off I go or Im guessing it needs mapping etc....? Any other things you would recommend?
