General Discussions - Non 300ZX

well i was in a 500+ horsepower supercharged 350Z yesterday and what can i say apart from sweet mother of christ i want one!!!!!!!!! acceleration is unbelievable, managed to get the power down great, too. Doesn't matter what speed you're doing it pulls like a train. handles a dream and the stopping power was awesome.. a completely balanced and extremely fast car. Chatter sounds great too, last forever lol The guy can drive, too which makes all the difference.. leaves the braking til the last second.. scary!! Don't know if anyone knows of it but it's Zportec's car http://www.zportec.com/ If my turbos go i know what my next project will be.

Anyone goit any pics of their retrim in Ivory/cream. Ive just bought some "Chester Ivory" leatherette, to replace my tweed and am hoping Ive made the right choice. Was gonna go red or blue.

Buying/Building new PC and Im a bit out of touch with Modern Home/Gaming setups. I know we have a few hardcore PC experts here, so...... Which processor....I am on a budget, so is it worth paying more ? AMD Athlon 64 AMD Sempron 64 or Intel Pentium 4 How do they compare , performance vs price ? Also 996 or 754 AMD Socket ? 775 or 478 Intel Socket ?

Hill street blues? reason i asked ive just bought series 1 on dvd (due out monday for any fans ) and as you do i wondered what became of some of the actors, when i suddenly realised how long ago this progg' was on :rolleyes: the sarge' who used to say "lets be careful out there" has been dead since 1983, i vaguely remember him disappearing from hsb and someone else taking over, one bird i used to remember as fit, then i looked how old she is NOW :rolleyes: http://www.series-80.net/us/actor/biography/veronica-hamel.html lol anyway nostaglia trip over, back to saturday night shite on the box

As title - anyone tried them yet. They are not for my ZX, but my daily driver as I don't like the tyres on there at the moment. These new Toyos are virtually the same tread pattern as Dunlop SP9000 sport (which I'm very pleased with on my ZX) yet I can get a set of 4 for the Merc fully fitted by e-tyres for under £350 - around £30 less than the Dunlops. Richard :)

Hi Jason Just got Adobe Photo Shop. What do you think? It only took me five hours to do.LOL...... :tongue:

Still bemused why i got a bill from them??!?! as i'm PAYE and have been for all my working life and while ago got a £700 tax bill so i questioned it so they investigated my file and came back a few months ago with a revised bill of £1800 :headvswal so been trying to get it sorted with P60's and company car details etc but what they say goes and i HAVE to pay it now before they send the bailiffs in :xxx: :mad: so just had to make a payment which pi55es me off as it was out of my zed fund :cry: so looks like the bodykit, paint and the rest of my retrim will have to wait :( Ohhh well its friday so time for a beer i think Mike

Just changed the steering wheel to a MOMO Pilota with a HICAS Cruise hub supplied by Mike of MJP. The looks and feel are fab. Was a complete doddle to do and had no problems in taking steering wheel off as used Jeff's karate chop method and voila it just came off. There is no hicas light on and horn working perfectly so thus chuffed. Thank you to each and every member of this forum as without their technical advise and moral support this wouldn't have been achieved at such ease.

Just phoned carol nash ins, quoted me £234 fully comp on a classic policy and £485 fully comp on a normal one. Not going to change the car ever so i think ill lose my 7 years no claims and go classic.

Are there any DIY machines available that will read the emissions as per the MOT test? Thank you all for your help you lovely Zed owning sexy beasts .. (I have flu and think I overdosed on the beechams) :) :dance:

Yup, the 600's been in for 3 weeks now!-was getting a bit cheesed off TBH but been down today and seen how tight it is!! :x: When you think I made the poxy manifolds from around 11/8-Andy has managed to get 4x13/4 pipes in! :bow: It will be worth the wait I know-it looks the danglies! :dance: :cool:

Anyone recommend (or send) me a copy of a decent Macro program. Preferably freeware as I have no money :D Or a version with serial number that I can *trial* I only need it for a few days :) Im looking to Record a sequence of mouse movements, opening web page, filling out, and scheduling it to run every 5 minutes. some of the macro progs Ive seen dont have a schedule function or if they do its only schedule daily. Cheers

i was driving through an area of rotherham the yesterday and there seemed to be a lot of police presence :rolleyes: their was a police on every corner and in all pub car parks(dont know what was goin on) anyway im just driving down the road and this normal copper(as oposed to trafic)waves me down so i pull up and he says "i dont know if you noticed the trafic police parked on the other corner (i had!) but hes told me to pull you over and tell you about your front plate....there too small!" i thought b0110x first my fookin tints now my fookin plates then he says "but to be honest mate ive got better things to do then to give you a ticket for that....but bare it in mind" :…

Hmm interesting one. I genuinely didnt realise I was out of tax in November and parked in Newcastle city centre. I got a ticket for "failure to display current vehicle excise licence" and a £30 fine. A right sod, but paid it anyway. Last week I got a letter from DVLA saying they had been notified of the same offence (same date, time and location) and demanding a fine of £52. :mad: Obviously both letters gave the usual shite about maximum fines of 1000 quid etc etc. 2 things spring to mind: - Is that allowed that 2 different bodies (Northumbria Police AND DVLA) can fine me for the same offence/mistake (total cost of £82); - Given that the off…

ok we having a domestic about 4x4 i watched a programme on discovery that said the porsche Cayenne went round the Nurburgring faster than a skyline .. and all i got was abuse but thats what it said . so we argueing alot about this because i think they are possibly quite good but him who must be obayed (cannot spell it ) says they are the abortion fetus that porsche picked off the design table and put big wheels on it and a load of body work to make it then reach the floor .... so who wins ....? :headvswal
