PP sent

Totally shocked,stuck for words at this awfull tragedy,what a loss and so young,very upsetting,me and Donna send our deepest sympathy and condolences. :cry:

Glad you all ok mate,gutted for you,if you need a hand with anything let us know.What make of tire is it,see its stamped "MADE IN KOREA" was the rubber the reason you think. Tony

Looking good mate, :bow: just a thought tho seen as this mother is going to be chucking out some huge bhp,will you be going with a 4" exhaust bore as your going to need it to shift all that air,as you prob know the less pressure the better. Tony

I was in centre of Newport Isle of Wight on wednesday at 12pm, near a roundabout that was near stationary with loads of traffic,was heading out to Ryde just saw you come past in a two tone blue and silver Z,no chance to grab your attention plus was in a Vauxhall.The Z looked great especially with the sun being out. :cool: Tony

If its an N/A then am sure no drain plug(unless one was fitted by a kind owner at one point) on them(as to why this is, no idea),Tony

Should make this too. 1, Chunk 2, MickeyB 3, Peach 4, wozzer 5, j the gun 6, Ceejay 7, yam 8, jason 9, Jason Farrow 10, Mr_red 11, Eacyboy 12, daves_new-ZX 13, mal300 14, Mowgs 15, hunnipie! 16, Suzy 17 boldy 18, zedex82 19, Speedfreak 20, Scrawni (I will make this one) 21 madhammster 22 Edk83 23 Artztogo 24 TonyC

To right it was,as for not much rain,should of seen it at around 4.30 when it woke me up again for about the 4th time,weather on tv says we got it again later and tonight,cant say we dont need it,my garden starting to look like the Grand Canyon,and getting fed up with waterin me plants daily.

If you go to say the Skyline,Mitsi,Niissan,Honda,etc etc performance car forums you can soon get a list up of problems owners have had,thats life,if i were to pay 10k say for a Skyline i would not buy it thinking i wont get a problem,sooner or later i prob will have to pay out for something,hopefully not bank breaking amounts,if you were to buy a Ferrari same scenario,just look on their forums,a Z is a high performance super car,expect to have a problem,then when it happens you wont be too dissapointed,for reliability out of 100 i would give the Z a rating of 75,having owned 6 now i think that would be a fair figure.So be realistic in your approach to buying something thats 16 or more years old,with prob many owners and prob not stock,i would class the owner of a Z more of a enthusiast keeping these cars on the road,rather than a daily driver with no worries on maintanance. Tony :)

Just done it through PayPal :) Tony

Scorpio 2.3,spacious,roomy,huge boot,reliable,cheap to run,all the toys,great power and torque,most come with tow bar/twin electrics,go for the Ghia/Ghia X and in estate form even better,well sought after even now,great work horse. or check this out,old school but what the hell,does the job :) http://www.zclub.net/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=484 would look better with them alloys i am selling too! :) Tony

Just been offerd £900 :) from another reg service comp,as for DIY i will scout around the net and see what it entails. Tony

around £1700-£2000,have just been offerd £800 through a valuation agency(admit they got to make a living and need thier cut)but not sure,is it possible to DIY this(they take care of all the work to)if so any ideas or how much it would cost.cheers. Tony :)

Well done to all,nice one mate :)

Well done bud,she looks gorgeous :)

Yes mate they are defo identical, . On another note Chunk did me a photo shop of my Z without the 300ZX sticker on,what do peeps think,i am split 50/50 as its allways been on the car since imported. Tony

I got mine from here, http://www.fastfilms.co.uk As yet not taken any film,had no time, i have a project in mind that i think will be something different but will take time ;) I will be using thid one,good for 3.5kg load and small enough to go most places. Tony

Finaly got them on,very happy with them :dance: There AXE 147 ,tyres are bloody great too,Kumho Ecsta MX ,nice big blocks of rubber,handles better allready. Sizes are front 18x8 rears 18x9, tyres 235/40/ZR18 and 265/35/ZR18 rear Tony :)

Sorry to hear its defo going mate,its a well sorted motor,still miss it myself,one of the best i had,new owner is lucky chap. Tony :)

Did you sort it Jay,if you still got problem i am in all day(playing in garage fitting bits :D )so if you want to pop round, maybe two heads better than one, give us a ring if so,07875165430 Tony :)

Does gauge sit at zero,if so could be intercooler pipe come off. Tony

Good.All auto's i have had i have fitted it,just fitted one to my latest Z and got 0.8 sec improvement at Santa Pod. :) Tony

Well after taking it off(real bitch)it was found to be ok,but the Live feed from it to the battery was corroded+rust,as when i undone the threaded stud it sheard off,so had it all rebuilt at a cost of £127,did great job,got it back on(bigger bitch)and all ok now :dance: Fitted clear side repeaters,new scuttle trim(thanks to Luke)and sprayed the rear side reflectors mat black,just a few subtle changes but makes a difference,still loads of bits to go on too. After not feeling upto Thoresby me and Donna decided to go to a local Steam Tractor Fair/Rally and Classic car show,while parked took a few pics(not bad for an old gal,looks nice. :D ;) Tony

Cant make it,was out in the sun all day yesterday and feel like shit this morning,sorry.Have a great time all,Tony :(
