General Discussions - 300ZX Related

The other day whilst making one of my very frequent visits to the cash machine, a ritual that all 300zx owners will be more than familiar with! This bloke came up to me and said excuse me............ "What is that?" pointing in the direction of my red devil, "i`ve seen your car loads of times around here, i`ve just divorced the wife and i am looking to re live my youth" Seems like a fair exchange to me!! I cannot re count the number of times that complete strangers (not just kids) find it within themselves to start a conversation about the Zed. Car parks, petrol stations, retail parks etc etc. Does everyone else experie…

Why doesn't Michael Barrymore have any ashtrays in his house? Because he puts all his Fags out in the swimming Pool.

While walking round Southport I saw a Red TT with the roof off. Who was it? I think it was Dave W.

Names Please..... Double Birthday celebration. (Andy and Matty) If you fancy a weekend in Blackpool starting on the 14th September (the lightweights can come the following day) All day drinking session followed by an all night drinking session..... Leave your names if you are interested. You better be interested Matty.

I've been following the aircon threads... just want to confirm what's wrong with mine.. It's not been blowing cold for a while now, but yesterday it started making a weird whining/rubbing noise...switch aircon off and it goes away. So has my clutch on the compressor gone ? Or have I ran out of gas/liquid, and this is causing the weird noises ? Do you reckon it might go away/start working of I get it recharged ? stu (having to drive with roof off at the moment... what a bind :-) )

Hi. If you were the guy I got into one with on my way down to the show with Tooley yesterday let me put a name to the face. We missed our turning by miles. Tooley not impressed. If I can figure out how to do this, I will post some cracking pics for the LadZ Johnny. ------------------

SRRAE said in another post that he never gets a race now he's got a Z and I am just the same. Nobody ever wants a race, I suppose because they know they'll get wupped. Think I've only had one race in the last year. Another thing I've noticed is that you can drive like an absolute dick head and nobody even bothers to flash or honk at you. Must be expected of Z'ers! It's getting very boring!

Hello,, Does anyone now the likely cost of a new door and the back wing before the back wheel arch??.. The reason for asking is that I managed to catch a wooden post near my drive (not clever driving) which scrapped along the bottom of the door (about half a foot) and then onto the section before the back wheel arch (again about half a foot). I think the skirt under the door might also be damaged. Any information would help, so I can prepare myself for the costs....

Just 3 hours to bid. I contacted the seller and he assures me that these will fit a 300zx. Not sure I believe him though because there are no hangers and no pipe sticking out the back. I'd guess that it's a cut'n'shut jobbie .... Any comments ? Tail pipes look smart though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=592597418&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=993472382&indexURL=0&rd=1

Hey chapZ, For info. purposes, my Brother bought a Renault GTA-V6 Alpine from a well respected car dealer in Altrincham, some know who I am on about. Anyway, he paid over the odds for it, got completely duped with the sales pitch and as a result the car is shagged and has been the centre of a legal battle between my boy and the twats in Altrincham for the past 18 months. I have given statements for his solicitor, his wife has given statements about how they nearly killed him and his pregnant Mrs. on the A55 into Wales after they accidently fitted a throttle part round the wrong way!!! This resulted in him having the throttle jam at 100+ mph and still caining it …

Hi GuyZ, Would just like to say a big thanks to a few people over the last few months for providing some excellent products. Firstly, Johnny, for traction control group buy steal price...cheerZ mate. Thanks to Craig for the URL stickers...nice one! And also to Andy Ingram for the group buy on the 300 book, got mine this weekend and it's excellent. Also to Nico, Henri, Phuong at GR Racing in the US, Matty boy and all that have made me keep it real for the last few months of non Z ownership(have got one, just needs a little work)...cheers to all you guyZ!!! REZPECT! Tim ;-)

Q: What do you call a fellow that just performed oral sex on his girlfriend? A: Gladiator Glen.

Hi again guyz, its Glen here again, your trusty buyer of naff zeds. I've been offered a 90TT Auto Jap with 56k on the clock for £4000. 17 Inch Splits (needs new tyres). No Leather. He says everything works ok. Godda be worth a looky innit? Anyone of you top zed blokes in the Bournemouth area? I wouldnt mind someone to hold my hand and perhaps take it oot for a spin. Buying Zeds scares me. Or should I say bollcocks and wait.. I've got Seven Grand to spend if anyone knows a pukka Z for sale Kind Regardz Glen.

Just looked at a nice Zed with a view to purchase. Front L/H shocker mount has some corrosion , not through, but enough worry me. Is this aexpensive to have welded, or more complicated than it seems?

When I get my Z back i a couple of weeks I want to post some Pics, How? do I do this? Does this involves HTML/ubb code, if it does I'm F****D. Cheers John

Any advice THANKS , Darren

Mainly aimed at Nico, as I know that he is working on the inside? Come on, I can't wait any longer, when is this awesome game going to finally hit our boring shores???????????? Timmy--------- P.S. For you bikers out there, Is it a good idea for someone who has just passed their test to jump on a Blackbird???? Even if they are restrained and half sensible???????

Aghhhh! I heard a clunk and felt it by my feet when I turn right sharply over 3/4 lock. It has only just started doing it. It does not do it when turn right normaly even full lock or even when I turn left sharply. Help!! What can it be. Stuart.

Saw this, dunno whether it's any good because I'd never heard of OBX. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=592597418&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=993472382&indexURL=0&rd=1 Checked their web page but it doesn't give much away, price looks good so far though. Another with round tips was sold yesterday for about $130. Auction ends about day and a half from .... NOW !
