Blimey, these are hot news at the moment! :) I do like them and I'm just about to order a set ... I think they look a lot "fresher" than standard .. if that makes sense!!! CheerZ, JB. :D

Oh, go on, then - I'm in! :D John.

Ahh, but what if it had been pink?? ;);) Sorry mate, but it's gotta be at least 24 hrs since the last pink Z jibe ... :D I'll get me coat ... :)

Nice one, Tim :) Great photos .... but, how on earth did you keep up with those two Zig-Zag cars? They were soooo quick!! :D Anyway, nice to meet you yesterday and good to see everyone else again. As for the 350, in the flesh - superb! :D - I just can't understand how Nissan have managed to make it so "un-photogenic". I want one now (even the missus liked it ;)), but I too will not be selling. I do have plenty of pics too, but I'm afraid it's the archaic develop and scan jobbie! :( CheerZ, John.

Jeesh Matey ... just read this now .... :eek: Feckin' scum - glad you're OK and sincerely hope it doesn't impede Stella consumption ... All the best to you both .... JB.

Oiiiiiiii - That's My Car! And yes, as Macca points out it has changed hands a few times ... But rest assured, I'm not parting with it - I love it dearly :) It's my little baby. Unfortunately, she's picked up a few scratches since Glen owned her, but this is soon to be rectified, and also the Veilside front end has been changed for a 99 spec ... as you can actually take it places you want to go now! If you want to see what she looks like now, then try my rides (ignore the interior piccie of an auto, that was my first black zed, also still forum owned ;)) - also Wazza took some nice piccies at the Brighton meet ... CheerZ, JB.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Neet! :D:D:D:D /echo mode on/ "Welcome to the Black Elite" /echo mode off/ CheerZ, JB.:);)

How unlike you to be cynical, Wazza!! ;);)

'Ello, 'Ello ... Looked like a 350 lurking in the background ... surely it can't be in for a service yet:rolleyes: What's the deal Jeff .. and first impressions? CheerZ, JB.

Strewth - Don't let Mr Burns see this!:eek: Actually, I had a 280zx for a few years, and as a 2-seater I think it was a really nice looking motor ... still turned heads, just like the Z32 does .... granted, it was no porsche eater, but as a sunny-day cruiser it still brought a smile to the face:D "load of crap" - a bit harsh I'd say for any Z iteration.:mad: Just my tuppence worth ... CheerZ, JB.

Stuart, it all seems perfectly normal to me .. lots of handy tips on tuning ... even some mass reduction for Nelson!! I shall certainly be fitting some gold plating right away ;) Not!!! Wait 'til you have sound:D :D L'dMAO ... (which is gonna make it difficult in the seating department ;)) VTEC = Very Tall Engine Cooling:D :D CheerZ, JB. :D

About Bloody Time!!!! :);):D Looking forward to giving it the once over tomorrow. Nice one! :)

Count me in too .. very nice ... :) I can see why Vijay is hacked off, though - up until his post, I'd assumed this was the next iteration of the ones he was trying to sort out. Sorry mate ... it's a shame it's worked out this way, but I guess now the everyone's signed up for these, the US deal isn't gonna happen:(

So long as you manage to get one of the 451 that Nissan have managed to earmark for the UK in 2003 ... otherwise you'll have to wait 'til 2004 for the next lot!:mad: Nice one Nissan .. how come we always suffer, when there's squillions in the US??? Arse.

Is it a case of mistaken "Tim" - didn't Timmy Turbo used to have Phuket as his location? - Just a suggestion ... ;)

Nice one Eric ... It's been tough for us IT bods of late, as many on here would bear witness too ... I had one of the company's preferred recruitment consultants in the other day, and she reckoned that things were getting much better on the Permie front, but contracting was still in the doldrums, so you're probably making the right move:D Just think all that new dosh to spend on the Z - whey-hey!:D CheerZ, JB.

Surely you mean it feel like your Burf-day ;) Anyway, make me no.86 ... CheerZ, John-Boy.

Harsh but fair, Waz, Harsh but fair .... :D :D (LMAO) Manwell, of course! :D :D :D

I thought that I wasn't getting the performance I expected on Optimax ... now I know why! ;)

Jeesh mate ... not again!!!!:mad: :mad: Sounds like you need some sort of A-team stylee armour plating welded on to the back ... plus some sort of rear mounted machine gun, that you can blast the hell out of them with, in the certain knowledge that although their car will explode in flames, they'll be able to run away unscathed. (Showing my age here!;) ). Seriously, though, sorry to hear this ... it's bad enough when it happens once, but repeatedly ... that's real sh*te.

Try again with that attachment, will you?? :mad:

Having had a head-on in my previous Z, with me doing 30-ish and the other car (a Mazda 323) doing an estimated 45-50, I can confirm that the Z stood up extremely well .... Even though it came to a complete halt in about 20 feet! :eek: (You should have seen the state of the Mazda and its occupants ... but then since they drove straight into me they deserved it .. but, I digress) A hefty O/S impact could have spelt very bad news for my feet, but thankfully, the bulkhead and wings were solid, and there was no deformation at all under the dash .. I think the impact was absorbed by the roof, it was certainly an interesting "wavy" shape afterwards .... You can see from the pictures, that it could have been very painful indeed, but I'd say I'm now pretty confident in the construction of our beloved motors! :) (Apologies to those of you have had to endure these pictures before ;))

Spotted ... Sexy, Sexy Yellow Z, with ferrari-stylee rear lights and nice (high) rear spoiler on the M20 Sunday, in convoy with a Red Mitsi 3000, heading towards the smoke ... Irish plate and looking good ... I did wave, but since I was in my Jeep, pottering along in the slow lane, I don't expect you noticed ;) Sound familiar?

Eric, you should be OK with a UK spec ... if you want to see (or not) really dim lights ... try a J-spec ... Mine were about as effective as a pair of birthday cake candles .... that had just been blown out ... :D May I suggest some PIAA super-white bulbs .... Look here: Ice White Bulbs .... I have these fitted now, and upon first switch on, I could here a chorus of "I can see clearly now .." Not cheap but sh*t hot!! :D :D CheerZ, JB.

Craig, Just to echo the sentiments of other posters .. a big thanks for keeping this thing going ... I've certainly had a laugh since joining!:D Let's hope that you're not away from the ownership fold for too long .. those withdrawal symptoms are bad!!;) Best of luck with the reason for selling. CheerZ, John.
