why are 300zx brakes rubbish
I'm still on stock brakes and they were great when running factory power as nissan intended, a good set up for stock power when functioning properly. However, once you up the power the brakes certainly feel the strain if you drive the car hard. My next mod is deffo going to be a brake upgrade, especially once I start taking her to the track this summer. Stopping is far more important than accelerating!! Andy

Drawing Z's again
Sadly I'm no longer doing them for the bargain promotional cost. However, at the new price of ₤30+postage they are still good value considering the time involved. Regards Andy

Drawing Z's again
During the last four months I’ve been so busy setting up my own business I’ve sadly had no time to do any drawings. I know a few of you guys wanted one done of your car and I apologies for not getting round to them. With more time on my hands now, I’ve picked up the pencil again and just completed the latest for SuffolkZX as shown below Feel free to contact me if you would like one. Regards Andy. For those who have not seen my work, below are a few examples of members cars I've drawn for them. For further info see Here.

seen pics of this street before somewhere, has a record for most bends in a KM or something like that, Would have looked better they were Z32's though!

Your location
Putting Canada on the map, way out there to the left! Andy

Who got there arse kicked by a pug?
Second that! Owned the car for 8 years now with many enthusiastic miles clocked up. Spent a fair wack on maintainance but not once has it let me down! Seems like you were unlucky fella. Andy

Car change !
Winnipeg, its right bang in the middle! About 750,000 population, Very friendy place, Canada is such a huge place its unreal, takes 8 hours just to fly from one side to the other! Cant wait to get my Z out here, I'll be dropping it to southampton docks for shipping next time i'm back in april. Going to drive it the 2000 miles from Halifax to Winnipeg, unbelievable roads! Andy

Car change !
- Who got there arse kicked by a pug?
Must be rare as fook by now, my mate had one years ago. Very nice motor. As already mentioned, each to there own! thats what makes it an interesting world. Full respect to you for building what you wanted! T Andy- Car change !
Hmmm, Beg to differ on that one! With regards to muscle cars, altough looking nice and sounding great, thats where the story ends! The yanks are decades behind Japs and europeans with even there latest creations still using very old technology! There motors can push out big power but never attempt to put in into a corner or stop in a hurry! They also break down alot! With regards to the vet, sounds like a good investment, and they do look nice but never expect it to replace a Z :bow: :bow: Sorry to hear about your crash. Andy- Who got there arse kicked by a pug?
Couldnt agree more, Fair play if thats what people want to do, when you like a car that much it almost becomes odsessive to make it the best you can. People seem to overlook the fact that they could buy a decent car for far less investment! I've been there, I bet I aint the only one either! Luclkily I moved out of that stage when I was 20 and bought a proper fooking fast car! :bow: FWD with that much power is just total shite which is why most over powered shopping cars end up being written off. There are rare acceptions though! Andy- **Z Photo Competition**
well here goes No 1 then, I took this photo last year on Dartmoor at Dusk, I'll Enter my second photo when the car arrives in Canada, Plenty of awsome backdrops to choose from!! Andy- Zed of the year? photo competitions?
I'd certainly be up for this or help organise it, I love a bit of photography! Would certainly pull in some great shots for next years Calendar, thats if we ever get them :x: :x: Andy- 18's or 19's
I'm on 18's, supurb ride and handling! If you want a wheel to look big then go for a flat wheel. I muh peffer the split rim with a big dish on the back though, suits a rwd super car IMO Andy- When should the "Low Fuel" light come on?
I've never seen the light come on ever! Had the car for nearly 8 years now and I've let it run low a few times!- Poly bush rear subframe
I used a 3" hole saw, did the job in no time at all, If you dont have a press you can then cut through the remaining shell with a hacksaw, down the length of the body. Once you have cut through the skin it will peal inwards and fall out. Expect transmission noise in the car once done, the vibrations can no longer get absorbed in the old liquid filled bushes. Its not loud but noticable. Andy- How cool is this
Saw something like this the other day, must take some skill! So instead of heal/toe do they do use finger/knuckle to get the back end out :rofl:- New Signature
Just installed paint shop pro 7, :bow: :bow: so thought I'd do a little trial. Awsome program!! Never done any editing before, could become addictive! Not exacly posted much in the last six months but with more time on my hands now, hopefully i'll be popping in more often! Andy- im so angry i could cry!!!!
We had our pontiac vandalised on saturday, totaly gutted! Second time its happened in a year, both random attacks in different areas with other cars being done at the same time! The car is only a year old and now on its second re-spray!! Simpathy for ya bud, I would have been devastated if it was the Z!! Andy- Old Car Pics...
Spotted your motor! 2nd on the left, this was the pod in 97, If you owned it then I remember chatting to you, top bloke! I was running 16" speedlines and still on the 8V at the time. My mate paul had the white replica on the end. Small world! Andy- Old Car Pics...
I had a few visits to billing and the pod with the Calibre register, no idea if Mandy and Paul are still doing it?? must have been about the same time, got rid of mine in about 99. May have even met you there Andy- Old Car Pics...
My pride and joy when I was 18 was my Cavalier Calibre, they were launched before the 'calibra'. Although many always asked why it had a Calibre sticker on the side :xxx: Basically based on the Mk2 cavalier SRI130, but Aston Martin/Irmscher took 500 of these cars and gave them a bit of a makeover. All are red with the black stripe, limited interiors and tweeked suspension. Rare as fook and I cant remember the last time I saw a real one! Must admit they do look a bit boxy and not the car I would drive now, in the 80's they were bang up to date! Ended up on twin 48's. Not Z power but a serious cossy killer back then!- **Calendar Payment**
Payment sent via Paypal, Please refer to Canadian address in notes Thanks Andy- **Calendar Payment**
Deffo still want mine! Did you get a price for post to canada scott. Cheers Andy - Who got there arse kicked by a pug?
