Ok, it's time. I'm a newbie to the club and only owned my first Z since Febuary. "Mid life crisis" and "It does how many to gallon?" long behind me now so I thought I'd show and tell. Never asked for any advice, just made up my mind and within a week I'd bought one. I adore the car and I'm planning on this one being a keeper. Really want to keep the bodywork pretty much as it rolled out the factory. I love the rims, 19" 255/235, I've fitted Bailey DV36's and an Apexi induction kit from Dave @ DTA-Motorsport (sourced thru the club, cheers for that) and am currently trying out a set of HKS Iridium plugs. I personally think the idle is now 'lumpier' would welcome comments as I can always slip the Platinum ones back in at the DOAH. Anyway, heres my ride. I hope the attachments work.

If it helps J. I get an average of around 16.5 MPG. ( Oops, I guess that doesn't help at all). Take notice of the guage after it dips below a quarter. Until that point, enjoy.

Stay calm and don't panic buy. Sell the Vectra and use this site to get one sorted. Check on that insurance dude. Good Luck.

"This is why its costly." Captain Slow August '06 BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with the RAC insurance matey. My docs tell me it's group 20 !!!!!! It doesn't matter if you live in a s***hole, whats car theft in the area like, remember, insurance companies aren't in the business of losing money. I sympathise mate, I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't want to own a Z, but I am biased. Could end up owning one but nothing else, they're not cheap from any viewpoint.

I see you live in East London. Have you made any enquiries re your insurance?

Trust me mate, people don't leave Z,s "sitting at work". Find out why.

Good comment Clarkey. Find out what, if anything, is up with the Z. Ask yourself this. How many people come up to you at the lights and say "nice Vectra mate"?

Yeah mate, that was me. Thanks for checkin' me out.

So, should I drop the HKS's and go for NGK's?

Hi guys. got me half a dozen HKS S40i Irridium sparkers for my ride. Any advice on gapping would be appreciated.

Thankyou Danny. Come across your company before. Shall I call or e-mail?

Greetings once again gentlemen, and if there's any lady's out there, you go girl!!! Can anyone out there post a link for a tried and tested supplier for a 300 ZX specific (all the bits I'll need to complete the job) Apexi Air Induction Kit, who will supply me mail order in the UK? Would appreciate a nudge in the right direction. I suppose I could search on Google but, hey, what's this help and advice forum for eh?

Thanks HR

I've got 265 rears and 255 fronts. Had a rear inner wall collapse 2mths ago.Shopped around online ( a bit the same as insurance ) and played one off against the other. £140 fitted and balanced.

where is the paintcode??????

Thanks both. I still like that look. Had it on an Fraud Mexico. Quality.

Apacache, I like that look.

Thankyou gentlemen. Never mind eh?

Hey guys. Got a G reg Zedsled. Can I put the old skool black and silver number plates on it legally?

Hi guys, trying to fit a pair of DV36 Dump valves on my ride. My problem is the fitting kit supplied has incorrect size connector pipe. The pipe is 32mm and the outlet pipe for the original Nissan DV's is 35mm. Spoken to Bailey who tell me fitting kit is standard. Any body else had this problem and any advice to offer?

Hi there guys. Always valued your advice in the past, so here I am again. I want to sort the rear spoiler on my '91 TT Import. Y'know, bubbling up cracking, common thing it would seem. Easy to remove?, no need to remove? Special rubberised flexi paint? Does such a thing exist? Basecoat and laquer? Chaps, I'm clueless, but would like to get it right. Plenty of life in my fair lady yet, so, tryin' to keep her sharp. Cheers me bucko's.

Use my TT every day for work. Weekends? All over the place.

Wow, thankyou gents. I couldn't have hoped for a better response.

:rolleyes: Hi guys. Can anyone tell me the best thing to remove cheap aftermarket badges? Y'now, the type with that nasty sponge tape stuff. One colleague suggested lighter fluid. I'm not convinced. Any help would be appreciated.
