HID's
First, do you mean Side Lights, or Dipped Beam? Side Lights are in with your Fog Lights (as I beleive you have a Jap Import), and Dipped Beam is the outter of your Head Light unit. Second, a proper HID wont show up as Blue when switched off (IIRC). There will also be a Ballast pack close by that will determine if it is a HID. Either under the Head Light unit, directly behind it (engine bay) or next to it below the centre (head light) panel (One for each light unit) If it isnt a HID, then it'll be one of those 'Blue Zenon' bulbs they sell on eBay, but if it turns out to be a proper one, then give Chris@getgreedy a shout or Outlander Motorsport (both in the traders section) As for changing your Main Beam bulb, it's a pain in the arse as there is so much stuff in the way behind it. Some say it's easy, some don't (I'm the latter ;) ) If you do decide to take the whole lot out (and if you have the time, I'd recomend this) you could take the unit apart and give it a good clean on the inside (Links to dismantling the unit are in the FAQ section) You'll be amazed how much dirt gets in there, and how much better they'll look once you've done it!!

NZR: F***ING Computers
I'll explain a bit more..... Before I formatted the hard drive, I managed to get into Safe Mode and recover my (previousley) unsaved photos and some other stuff. Then i did a fresh install and started all over again. I did have Norton and AVG running (both up to date) and my McAfee firewall wass running fine. What seems to have happend is that the file I downloaded was full of viruses, but for some reason whan I opened it neither Norton or AVG saw these, and allowed them to infect my PC. :headvswal I take full blame, as it was entirley my fault. This has been a lesson learned, that I won't trust p2p program sharing anymore, but I've never had any problems with p2p video downloads, except for porn disguised as a different movie... Why do people do that? :confused: Anyway, my only problem now is that BT have done some work in our local exchange, and managed to fook my broadband speed up :headvswal

"The Enthusiast's Companion "
I got mine through Amazon.co.uk, cost only £9.95, but that was a couple of years ago now. Just done a search on the net, and the best UK price I could find was £169.95!!! :shock: It's a good book, but as it was writen in 1990, it doesn't cover anything other than the first of series one (along with the development). There is loads of informative stuff in there, and I'm glad I got mine when I did, but it certainly isn't worth well over £100! After all you can buy 'Nissan 300zx 350z: The Z-Car Story ' for only £24.49 (inc P&P), and thats by the same author (Brian Long)

How did you "come by 300zx.co.uk?"
Same here. Before we had any trains to play with here, we were setting the place up, so in the 'slack' moments I'd use t'internet! And found this place, and I've been hooked ever since :D :hyper:

Good places in the Midlands to take photos
Agree with Stoney Cove, very picturesque. And bloody busy the other weekend when I was there, as it's very popular with divers. Question, Why do divers prefer it when it's sunny? As they'd still get wet if it was raining and diving anyway ;) (Disclaimer: No need to answer, I know the reason ;) )

NZR: F***ING Computers
Been off-line all weekend due to my own in-competence!!!!! :headvswal Using LimeWire Friday evening, I was trying to download Star Wars Lego for my lad, well that'll teach me not to try that again :mac1: Totally F****D my PC up!!!!! I now spent all weekend re-booting the whole lot :headvswal I did manage to get it into safe-mode and retreive all my photos (that hadn't already been saved), but I've lost all my videos (although most are still on DVD), all my music........... but the most important, I've lost all my Favorites on the net!! :( So I'm a little happier this morning, as I'm now back up and running, although I've got a lot of updating to do.

how do you DE-restrict your 300?
A better option than just soldering the new chip in, as you could just simply change it in the future if you needed to. I'd recommend Andys work, as mines running very nicely since he did mine, cheers Andy mate :bow: :bow:

whats ur most prized item??
I would have said my wife, but as I've been divorcing her for the last 18 months, she can go **** herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D So it's; My Zed ;) My Kids, Karen ;) (much more user-friendly than the wife :rofl: ) My PC (wouldn't be able to get on here so much without it)

Blimey!
Sorry to spoil all this guys, but i think it's been touched-up!! (The photo, not her, but then she probably has as well ;) ) There is bluring around (her) right breast, which considering all other parts of her are well in focus, just wouldn't happen, so I beleive it's been photoshopped! As for the camel-toe ;) now that just doesn't look quite right either. It seems VERY tight down there, compared to the rest of her shorts, just doesn't look right. I think she's defo been touched-up down there ;) :rofl: :rofl: :duffer: :D
