General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Was having a play on sat with my Nos on and turbos up to 15 - 16 psi, was doing 70 (honest!) when the most almighty BANG and lost all power! boost gauge was all over the place and sounded as though the whole engine was tearing itself to pieces! limped to the hard shoulder and the cut out! had a look and couldn't see anything... so i thought i had shredded the engine... went to start her and she started the cut out straight away... managed to get home and had a good look at 1st light.. i have shattered the right hand intercooler!! (much to my relief!) and pushed the plastic mud guard onto my wheel (hence it sounded as though my engine was shreading i…

I am just about to spend around £700 on my car. I just couldnt watch you lot doing all this spending without getting involved myself. MODS MODS MODS. Nothing mechanical, just exterior for now. The Volvo needs money spending on it but FFS i gotta get my priorities right. It can wait. :cool: What you doing? I hear you asking. Well just wait and see. :tongue:

Been searching the sites and found my car on quite a few petrolheadsNw Z centre Rice Rocket (very nice pic of it ) Image wheels very flattered but does that mean I get discount now lol :dance:

I have recently purchased these alloys from Nad300 :http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=63722 In total I ended up paying £350.00 as agreed then he wanted an extra £27.50 for postage £377.50 all together. Alloys arrived last wednesday I opened them up and there was a cap missing from the rear wheel(not to bothered) then I opened the front 2 and curbed does not come close, they where grinded all around the edges and there was corosion in the corners of the spokes :mad: I phoned Nad and he said that the cap is probably missing as RM open all there parcels to check for drugs and it probably fell out then. He then said the alloys where in good condition but the mos…

I went down to my dads today and gave the Zed a drive........ well I say drive, I moved it about ten feet along the drive, then let it tick over for about ten minutes then backed it back to where it came from :D :cry: I'm really missing driveing her properly :cry: But it'll all be worth it in the end :D especially as she'll then be my daily driver :cool: Ooooooooooooooo roll on March :dance: :dance:

im thinking of changeing my ICE install and have noticed some people remove their spare wheel to fit a sub. how does this effect the MOT as ive noticed the new honda civic comes without a spare wheel.

Took the Zed for MOT today as tax & MOT expire today. I new it needed rear tyres so expected a problem there. Failed on headlamp aim !! Not bad for a 15 year old car :tongue: Now anybody got any tyres to off load 275 35 ZR18

At long f***ing last my rear is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) Have been away for the last week, and so has my Zed (but not with me) Picked it up this morning, and fitted the new perspex panel and side trims (thanks Mantav8 :duffer: ) Hope you all like her........................ Before, After.......

My mate who runs a welding and fabrications workshop has offered to remove the engine, rebuild it and fit it for free! :bow: We will do this together and although we have never worked on a Zed to this extent I have sod all to loose by giving it a go. I mean it's not like im worried about braking the engine! :D I expect you will be getting screams for help over the next few weeks as things take shape (Or not) Today things are clearer and better for me. :duffer: :duffer:

This one's for all the members who like to do video editing !! I need to find some sort of standalone piece of hardware which can do the following : Copy a DVD, or a particular chapter from a DVD to: DVD VCD VHS preferably all in one unit, all at the touch of a button and doesn't take 2 hours to copy a 2 hour DVD !! This system will be used for maybe 5 - 10 videos a week, so it's not for huge scale production, however I cannot be arsed with seperate VHS / DVD players / recorders and then having to rip all the videos to my computer to make them into a VCD ! If anyone knows of such a device or can point me in the right direction i would be eternally g…

:confused: Does anyone have a parts catalogue? I have got some brake pads which were supposed to be for my car, but they are far too big, they look like they are for an R33 Skyline (GTR) Part Number is 41060-37J91. Can anyone tell me what they are for please?

Ok, If any pro's are viewing you can tell me where to go! By changing an angle by a few degrees, or just taking time to view the setting, you can make professional looking photographs of your car.(i've still yet to do it but some day i will get lucky!) here's how. Firstly a 4-6 megapixel camera is fine, i've had sony, HP and now Nikon. I find the HP software easiest to use and still use it with the Nikon. 1. when you're car is nicely polished up, take it somewhere for the day, just with photo's in mind. If you're lucky to live somewhere scenic then that's even better. 2. remember, the plainer the background, the stronger you're Z will look. unbroken horiz…
