With Jeffs bash being cancelled, I'm wondering if we can sort out a Z meet here in Doncaster before the New Year? Perhaps on the Monday or Tuesday following Christmas day, seeing as most of us will have those days off as bank holidays? Any other ideas considered of course. People from around Yorkshire would of course be welcome, but suggestions for venues are needed, we could just use the Vue car park like Donny Cruise used to, or we could use somewhere a little more central like the market car park if we did it later in the day? Interest levels and suggestions please?

Ok the latest update with pics.... the workshop area is getting very slippy but still seemed ok, but when I left to come home the access road was blizzard like, the Motorways seem ok in places but what tonight and tomorrow will bring is anyone's guess. So with a heavy heart I feel its best all round we cancel the event, it is so disappointing to get this close and the weather close in like it has, but we feel responsible for you guys and its really is not worth it for anyone to risk venturing out tomorrow to come to us. However on the upside it now gives us a damn good excuse to re-schedule it for after Christmas and make an even bigger event of it!!! So…

Looks like i'm going to have to buy a new battery :( My question is which battery to buy? I want to get one that kicks out a bit more power for my sound system which is soon to increase in size and power consumption. We're not talking mega powerful, just enough for maybe 2 amps and some decent speakers

After obtaining a velour interior, all the small panels are complete and its onto the door cards and rear panels by the seats. The interior pieces were for a UK car, so i got myself some UK door cards. The Door cards had some worn alcantara, so i stripped that off and fitted the velour and decided to add a door light, that will come on with the interior light when the door is opened. Hope you like :winkiss: And lit

Anybody knows that 300zx steering angle is not to great ant if you want to go sideways you really need to work very hard. I have s13 as well and I am using that only for drifting. S13 have much more angle that 300zx thats whats makes drifting harder on 300zx. Anyone knows how to make more steering angle. Modified lower arms? steering tensions? or even any steering kit? Does anyone been done this or know how to do it?

I'm starting to suspect my car may have previously been an automatic that's been converted. So I thought a few questions that you guys will no doubt be able to answer very easily, will solve my curiosity. Do manuals come with cruise control? (Most cars with CC are Auto?) What kind of dip-stick should a manual have? (Flexy-Wire style/Flat Alu style) Are there any tell-tale signs of an automatic 300zx? There are a few issues with our 300 mechanically and I need to start getting them sorted out, I'd like to know exactly what it is I'm dealing with before I really start taking it apart, if I know I've got to change things etc I'll make sure I have them before I …
