  1. There seemed to be a lot of interest for this event, so ChrissyP went out of his way to organise it. Interest seems to have dropped off for some reason. Come on guys it's a family day out (well Sunday afternoon). Let see some support for Chris's hard work. See link below for details of the event. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=240335#post240335post240335 **edited becuase I don't know my arse from my elbow :D
  2. Yep myself and Cerina are still up for it.
  3. Not as clever as some but not as dumb as the rest :D. 133 for me.

    Well it can be one of four things. 1) Spark - plugs, Coil packs, PTU, ECU, Wiring I'd rule plugs and coil packs out straight away as it will still start up even on 4 cylinders. 2) Fuel - fuel pump, fuel pressure, injectors blocked. Very rare that you have any problems with Fuel but still gotta check it. 3) Compression - maybe the inlet values are not seating right and you can't get enough compression once it starts it will run fine but if it's got to a state when it won't start due to inlet or zorst vales then you are taking a £1k+ to get it sorted. SE quote £2.2k for head rebuild. 4) Battery, if it click at all then there's not enough power to start, if it turns slowly then again still not enough power. Could also be CAS related but I doubt it. If you can do a compression test on the car, the results will tell you if it's worth 1,600. Good luck ;)
  5. It's crystal clear mate, not too much base but enough to feel your hair moving on your head :D.
  6. Well I was thinking about getting a plane up to pick up the other Z, but I guess it will be more fun to drive up with the missus and have a mini convoy home :D. More expensive but more fun, and that way you can take some pics :D. I also need some advice about an amp to power the future focals. What do you reccomend ?
  7. Give him a ring then mate, because while I was there a Celica turned up that had just been painted two weeks ago, Was a very nice flip, had pretty much every colour in it. Looked nice even for a Celica :D

    Welcome mate, Chuck them in an e-mail to me mate and I'll host them on my site for you ;). stu@300zx-mods.co.uk
  9. Yeah I heard them in Ian's Corsa, he disconnected the sub and the clarity is unreal. They also have a fair bit of bass coing out of those kevlar cones. Going to be money well spent I think :D.
  10. Sorry Mike, I only had time to put a few up last night as I had to get up for work this morning at 5am. I will msn you some more pics later tonight when I get home if you are online.
  11. Nice one guys, Hats off to you all :D.
  12. You mean you can pull the key out of the ignition barrel even when it's in position I ? and you don't have to press the unloock button ?. Sounds like you need a new set of locks mate. just out of interest.... what posessed you to take the key out of the ignition while driving :confused: Where you having an moment ? ;)
  13. Built by Mrtin at PPS. Plenty of room for the targa panels, haven't had a chance to fit the straps in yet though ;)
  14. The original nissan ones are just black but are a little thinner than these one I can get made, they were also just plain black, not sure if they came in any other colours. Bummer about you becoming a subscribed member that means I have to get them for you at cost price :rofl: ;)
  15. Or the young folk these days think it's trendy to ride tricycles :D
  16. Sorry Paul, I didn't forget it I just thought I'd be polite and not mention it. I know old people don't like to be reminded that they are another year older :rofl: Oh and Simon, when I said yesterday(sunday) I meant it's sunday now and yesterday is Saturday (if that makes sense :confused:
  17. The ICE Sounds so much better than it did before. I've had to replace Volume with quality :D as apparently my front components and amp are quite far behind my subs and amp, so loks like I'll be up for a nice pair of Focal components in the not too distant future :D.
  18. Well Peter and the gang have really outdone themselves this time. :hyper: It's the 2nd time my car has been to PPS now, and although it's a 600 mile round trip it's worth every mile. I have to say not only can Peter produce amazing body mods and superior paint jobs, You da man Peter. Also how many bodyshop owners would book you into a hotel for the night and meet you at 11pm at the body shop so you can drop the car off and then escort you to your hotel and make sure you are settled in before driving home to his own bed at midnight on a Friday night ? Well Peter did :bow:. What can I say :confused: top bloke 'ol Peter ;) Also now thanks to Martin, PPS can now also produce some great ICE installs. I told Martin I wanted something simple, not too much sprayed fiberglass but a classy install with my amps displayed. Didn't think it would turn out as good as it did :bow: you da man Martin :D. Want pictures ?. Ok next post (I've used too many smilies in this one lol).
  19. If only !!!!. :( no mate, every Fao SMW1 means someone wants something :cry:
  20. Sorry it's late mate but I've only just got back from PPS. :hyper: I know it was yesterday(sunday) but it still counts as it's saturday night :D.
  21. I don't make them myself mate but I can get them, if you are a member then I get can get them for what I pay for them, if you are not a subscribed member then it cost you a fiver more for my beer money ;). All the more reason for you to subscribe :D. check this old post. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=26941 Those prices mentioned are for subscribed members, Non subscribed member need to add another £5.
  22. if all else fails Maplins do quite a few switches, I bought a knob from then :eek: to replace the dated traction control knob.
  23. Background taken from a wallpaper site, contrast adjusted and cropped, then multi layers added along with text. Mail me some pics of your car and the theme you want and I'll try and sort you somthing, I can't promise anything as I'm really bisy and have a queue of 4 people in front of you, and I also need to make some long overdue rear 6x9 speaker brackets for another member (if only I could do those in Photoshop lol).
