Nix, Have found 1 picture skulking around, so here you go ... Don't think this really shows the wheels off to their best; they do look better in the flesh; they're 18's, btw ... CheerZ, John.

How about Kosei Snipers? That's what I've got on mine ... I'll send you a pic later, they're all on my PC at home, and I can't get into rides at the mo ... I'm sure you can find 'em on the net somewhere though. I know I'm biased, but I think they look the nuts ...:D :D CheerZ, John.

LOL .... nice one, Vicky! ... and how was the expression on her judgemental face?? Or did she ask you for a date???:D :D

Hey Neet, Having just invested in my own "Jeeper Creeper", I resemble your comments ... :D :D TeeHee ... John.

Paul, I guess if anyone has the technology to rebuild her, you do, mate ... Mike F is a top bloke, no mistake, he'll cut through Mandella's shite .... I wanna see that lurvelly motor of yours restored to her former glory ...:) CheerZ, John.

Sh1te Paul, What's the story, mate - is it bad?? I was hoping we'd seen the last of these incidents at the end of last year ..... Mucho sympathy! John.

Yeah, course you were James .... What an interesting insight into your weekends ... tell me, did you meet him at a local Z meet!?;)

I'm not gonna flame ya - couldn't agree more!!;)

I had a silver set in my previous Z - sniff :( Non-standard supplier, though - back with "normal" white ones now ...

That's right, Mr Duff informed me that if the CAS thinks the engine isn't turning it immediately cuts the power to the fuel pump ... See Andy's reply on page 2 of this post: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16083 CheerZ Mate, John.

Wow, I'm quite a marksman!!:D It must be Friday Afternoon ..... :D :D :D

Hey James! I think you'll find that the only change I've made of late is to add a dodgy PTU (tee hee);) Yep, I do visit pretty often (probably too often for my own good, as it goes) ... you can see some recent snaps of the car in my rides section. Nice to see you back Chris .. if you want to have a reminisce, PM and I'll send you my phone number .. alternatively, you can get me most days on Messenger as johnboyz32@hotmail.com .... I'm afraid I'm not really up for selling the car just yet ... I've only had her since Christmas Eve, and I fell in love with her, the moment I first saw her:D As it happens, she's changed hands a few times on this forum, from you to Glen, from Glen to Andy D, from Andy D ukmark, and finally to me ... quite a journey. I'd love to know how many of the mods you did yourself, or wether she arrived from the land of the rising sun like that ... drop me a line. CheerZ, John.

Well, I have to agree with Paul, that for whatever reason (and let's face it, the guy has not had a normal upbringing), he is definitely bonkerooney! However, I was a little disappointed with the documentary, I thought that Bashir (Sp?) spent far too much time trying to insinuate that Wacko was a kiddy-fiddler, when a more rounded view would have been interesting. After all, no matter how much of a nut-bar Jacko is, it's hard to deny that that sort of lifestyle make compulsive viewing for those of us living on this planet!:D As it happens, I was in the US last week, and there was a lot of media attention caused by the screening of the documentary. It would seen that Wacko is livid (surprise, surprise) with the way that Bashir has potrayed him and is considering suing (also surprise, surprise) for the way the programme was edited together. Interestingly, there are a load of out-takes being shown in the US (some were on the news) that show Bashir praising Wacko (and in "tears") about what a fantastic father he is ... hmm, I dunno. I doubt there'll be another home visit with this enigmatic geezer now, since he's suffered so badly ... personally I don't think there was any evidence of sexual wrong-doing on his part ... but, if I had kids, I don't think I'd be sending them there, nonetheless ... As I say we're not likely to get another peek at his world now, though, thanks to Bashir's programme. Shame.

OK ... point taken, but it's an improvement of the original, not a perversion - still badged as a 300ZX:D Sorry, don't like it ..... yeuuch!

LOL :D :D :D Very good, Dave ... made me chuckle ....

This is bloody awful IMO ... Well done or not ... why try to transform the finest Nissan ever produced and ground-breaking first Japanese supercar into one of the worst Ferraris ever??? (also IMO) I guess it's supposed to be a Testarossa. Yuk! A traitor to the great Z lineage!!;)

Hearty congratulations to you both .... Excellent work!:D

Hang on :eek: , I think this thread needs a testoserone injection!:D Seriously, though, welcome aboard and congratulations on your impeccable taste;) Welcome to highs and lows of excitement, pleasure and then ..... expense:( CheerZ, John.

Bugger - fished in! fished in! Oh well, don't debug much Java anyhow! Bollox.:mad:

Cheers Glen, I'm sure you're right (well, I hope you are!) ... she'll be fine, I think, once Mandella pulls his corporate thumb out of his ass and gets my friggin relay in, as promised!! Thinking of getting a daily-driver to reduce the strain, then the batmobile can lurk safely in the garage until unleashed at the weekends:D CheerZ, John.

Well Glen, The way she's been behaving of late - I may be open to offers before long!!!:D :D Nah, just joshing - how could you fail to fall in love with such a beauty!:) Talking of headlights - my hat is off to you, the bacofoil conversion has stood the test of time, albeit that after a UK model, the headlights seemed almost pointless ... even with the conversion in place. God only knows what J-specs are like without. Just last week I've treated her to PIAA super ice white bulbs, 85w brightness with 55w current draw - they are the muts nuts and no mistake ... Let there be light - and there is now!:) CheerZ, John.

BTW, Took out the floorboard covering the ECU the other day and found the fuel controller you mentioned ... it was switched off and I have left it like that ... Do you (or anyone else) know what the idea is with it? It's called an SFC, I think - Simple Fuel Controller, and seems to have adjustable "gain" - still firmly plumbed into the ECU:eek: CheerZ, John.

Thanks Glen, Agreed about the sub 10 mph thing, but these days, it's been playing up and not working at all when cold - apparently, this could cause the steering problem. I haven't experienced 150 yet!:D I've only done about 120, and then she suddenly died, although soon picked up - must admit, I did wonder if she still had the 112 limit in place, but I guess not. I've been a bit tentative about winding her right up since then.;) Not sure I fancy that wait - perhaps I could just source the speed sensor from them and get someone else to fit .... CheerZ, John.

Thank you Neet, for that additional advice - temporarily forgetting my manners there:rolleyes: .. Additionally, when performing an ECU diag - I've got code 21, this suggests something to do with the ignition circuit - could be the relay? I was supposed to get a new one from Mandella today, but surprise, surprise, no show until Tuesday .. grrr:mad: Does this all add up?

Timmy, I have to agree with Neet ... you have far too much time on your hands!!! 10/10 for imagination nonetheless ...... Were you perchance taking the name of MY zed, in vain, though? L'dMFAO. John.
