And there's me thinking of having it put on :rofl:

Grey smoke?? hmm Not sure about that, a lot of people confuse white smoke which is water (steam) as grey smoke coming out the exhaust especially when the engine is cold and condensation in the exhaust is being burnt off, which is normal i guess if oil is being burnt (blue smoke) and it mixes with the white condensation it could look grey, if white smoke is still present when the engine is hot then it would mean there is a more serious problem, weak or blown head gasket, especially if there is a loss of coolant and power. The exhaust gets extreamly hot around the turbos so any oil entering the exhaust in that area will burn off blue.

get the wife or girlfriend to do it is the best way, keeps em out the way for hours :rofl:

Has the car been de-catted? this can cause the blue smoke as oil is getting past the seals if they have gone. You can also get smoke if the PCV valves are clogged up or need replacing. The whistle from the Turbo(s) im assuming its just 1 of them? can be if you have a leak or gasket gone on the exhaust manifold where it bolts too the inlet side of the turbo or the outlet side of the turbo where the pre cats bolt to the rear of the turbo, check to see if all flanges are tight. It could just be a split in one of the boost pipes. I would say if the car has been de-catted that is more likely why its smoking as the seals would of gone, in which case you will need the engine out and replace turbo's. The sensors mentioned a proberbly the o2 sensers which you will find going into the pre cat and can be seen if you look down the back of the engine at the exhaust. The stock oil gauge is rubbish and not very reliable so not allways best to take the reading as gospel

Sorry its a bit late but good luck bud hope all goes well fopefully by the time you read this your be a proud dad.

What a handsome looking bird, certainly looks as though she means business look forward to hear how you get on with her and how aggressive these birds really are. How much bigger than the Harris will she be?

go for the blue then have the side windows lightly blacked out then who would know the difference, just an idea

Exactly what im saying

initially i liked it but upon closer inspection this showed up the gap in the wing put me off, but love the rear arches and bumper

i never said it looks dated, i think the zed looks gorgeous in stock form apart from the stock rear spoiler, the little mods i have done so far are for my own personal taste rather than to try and bring it up to date, id buy a 350z if i wanted an up to date car and i dont think the 350 is as good looking as the 300

Happy birthday guys, just in time for the weekend as well, have a good'un :duffer: :duffer:

I honestly dont think the ZED looks too out of date for a car its age, it can still hold its own against a moden car, how many cars that age still turn heads even in stock form? Yes its one of the best looking cars ever built even by todays standards, so why ruin perfection? I agree with Si sometimes less is more, moding your car is fine to a degree to add your own personal touch to your car in a subtle way. Your never going to bring it right up to date and why would you want to its a classic, up to date is the job of the 350z which is in my opinion not in the same league

does seem that way so un-justified but put it this way you have your pride what does he have?

your taxis normally go to the pub.....oops sorry you mean taxes :rofl:

i have the same problem when i go in too deep :rofl:

sounds like shaft bearing exploded and shaft floating about and out of line when selecting reverse, does it squeel in second too as both gears on same shaft? Lets hope its not though, assuming your car is manual.

i knew it had to be your car as only one like it, and recognised the rear lights as you went down the road, plus im guessing you was coming back from your Tennis club by the station, where your sig pic taken. Lol trust me to be looking the wrong way

nice, i have been reading about Hybrids meant to be better for hunting and more aggressive hunters. Is it a youngster? Look forward to seeing the pics

Prob done head gasket too. lets hope that would be the worst that has happened

Nice 1 what you got, Peregrine?

O yes, love that sketch pure genious i love the 2 ronnies far far better than morcombe and wise

I see you bud, Rochford road, just. was looking the other way at the railway to see if the train had got in at Rochford as was picking my sister up, only see you at the last minute as you went past but recognised the car

go for number 1 excellent opportunity especially for the future, which is what you got to think of. No need to lose the little lady your just be putting it on hold for a while, but you will still get to see her, just think how cool she will feel telling her mates her boyfriend is in the forces, girls love it. Not saying its the case or going to happen but seen too many people miss opportunities over a girl, which didnt work out anyway, my nephew for 1, and myself to be honest. Plus if she is a good understanding girl then she will pleased for you to have a career, stand by you and be there for you.

lets not beat about the bush looking at school boy pictures lets look at a proper picture of a collection of breasts

yep this is true i remember my Dad said to me learn a trade and you will always earn a living, i have 3.
