Up yer arse twopipes :slap: :smw: :smw:

Wes'side :cool: I dont get to drive the zed to work that often, but am bringing it in every day now til I get the Mondeo MOT'ed (lazy...) Now I've passed this light blue 300ZX Z31 loadsa times before and flashed or waved to him on most occasions, but no reaction :(. And this morning he acknowledged me :dance: Its the only one I've seen on the road. I quite like them, a bit (a lot?) dated but v retro. Anyone ever driven one? Pete

Oh really? ;) (Sweet revenge for the "Are you gay?" post swiftytwelve years ago LOL :D )

Oh yeah? - then what's this? http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24478&highlight=dog :D:D Which would you prefer in bed? Cameron Diaz, any other woman or a funny looking dog?

In that case Jimbo, you wouldn't get to drive your zed as you'd be locked up :D

I reckon the Stig is a woman this year ;)

Yeah Arthur- those 2 are a git to change...well they looked a git to change from where I was standing at Zedworld, with a cup of tea in my hand :D:D Ahhhh...that was my first leak :) AA Flatbed home from Santa Pod ;)

17" R33 GTR V-Specs, with Nissan centre caps :cool:

LMAO @ Cos ... Bagins just looks 18 :rofl: "Got any I.D. mate?" ;)

Ahhh the radiator is different I think sorry LOL, do you know if the drain plugs are interchangeable? Anyone know? Cheers :o Pete

Presuming your car is a TT... On the left hand side (facing the engine from the front) of the top of the radiator end tank theres a plastic phillips head screw - this is the bleed screw. Unscrew this, dont lose it tho(!), and it lets air out while you pour coolant into the rad cap hole on the RHS.

Yeah you will have to top it up a fair few times, do it slowly with the car running and the bleed screw off. When the water heats up, it'll start coming over the top...then put the screw and rad cap back on. You will need to check it again a few hours later and repeat if necessary (probably will be necessary). Topping a 300ZX up with water/coolant is a PITA, but worth doing properly to keep air pockets out.

Cheers Stu - yeah a small gaitor might be a good way to do it. I also thought of buying a circular rubber grommit and trimming it to fit, dunno tho, some thinking required. Mine is oval shaped in cross-section, so I think it's a different one to yours. Will have some pics tomorrow.

You run out of tablets again? :rolleyes: :D

*****cks to that then lol, I think I've seen the back of my coolant leaky niggles, I'm not touching anything I dont have to which might cause bother again :D I'll probably do it when I next want to flush the coolant. Cheers for the info Mr C :) Pete

nice one - 10:30 at yours? Come on Midlanders, last meet of 2003?

I've got a spare rad drain plug, with the hose that comes off it, if you want it? :) Hopefully its the thread on the plug thats stripped and not your rad thread. Although you could still glue it in - a lot of people simply pull off the lower rad pipe bottm end to empty the rad- much quicker than the drain plug. If you want the bit, PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post when I get home :) Pete

LOL :cry: I'd like to get it engraved with "300ZX" or something - but there's no way I'm removing it LOL ;) Might get a clear sticker designed for it. Pete

Hello, I want to spray my cambelt cover - to match the other bits I've colourcoded (again...pics soon :D ) How is this removed? Just a few nuts and bolts, or do any of the water pipes have to be moved? Cheers Pete

What an arse of a job that was :rolleyes: Took me and a mate about 3 hours last night to fit the bugger. Getting the trim back on is the hard bit. I was trying to keep the hole in the susp tower trim as small as poss, whilst being able to access the strut brace nut and bolt, and get the trim back on over the back seat clip thingy :mad: Did it in the end, will post some pics up when I get them off me mate. Looks lovely, and I think I can feel some difference in driving, not a much roll round bends, maybe I'm imagining it tho, but I think there is improvement. Stu (SMW) - have you covered the holes with anything yet - what have you used? Cheers Pete

Sounds good to me, wanna convoy up TC?

Yep I want these, good work Cos :)

I photoshopped it ;o) :D

I'm round the corner lol, like 1 min away...where do you work? Would like to check out the oppostion beforehand :D...always up for a convoy to the Pod ;)

LOL Its funny how BMW drivers try to give us grief, its great fun teasing them on motorways etc :rolleyes: :D:D:D Up their own arses...for no reason...even the M3/5s are easy pickings...
