Todays job was........
I've replaced the fog lamp bulbs with 30% brighter ones :D One didn't work anyway, so i thought I'd take them apart completeley and clean them all up, replace the fog and sidelight ones with new. Sparkling job done, even if I say so myself. Was going to remove the Glare Sheild, but it looks like the previous owner had the same idea, as it was already removed. Also converted the H3 bulb fitting to a spade fitment, so wont have to fvk about in the future :D Got the H3's from Halfords, own brand only £7.99 each and 30% brighter, also the side light bulbs, Bosch ones, 2 in a pack for only £1.79 :dance: well I'm happy at that. Next weekends job................................ converting the dipped beam to H3 30% brighter, using jock's Jap headlight mod thread from the FAQ section http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=27029 Also see if I can get 30% brighter bulbs for the main beam as well :D Dave PS - It was a right pain in the ar** having to take the indicator out again, cus the side light bulb didn't go in properly, and then again cus I'd pulled the spade conector off sorting the side light out :mad: But it's all experiance in remembering how to take it all apart :xxx:

clear back lights
Yes Cos i can see the diff with urs, and tbh, I do like the idea of an all clear rear, as it would blend well with the clear revers lamps. Like I said, it may look better on a Z, and without the reflector. And btw, wen funds permit, I'm defo in for an head lamp upgrade :) Dave

clear back lights
You said good or bad, honestly sorry Cos, but they arnt for me. I do like the '99 spec lights. It's probably the reflector being there that spoils it. Depends wot it looks like on a z Dave

clear back lights
Yep, agree here Geoff. These lights were posted about on here last week , and I said then that they will only indicate in red, and as far as I know, that wont pass an MOT for u. If you had a Yank tank as ur drive with red as standard, then ur ok, but not changing them for red from yellow. If all that makes sense :D And apart from that, I think they are fvkin horrible :x: (Disvlaimer - The views posted on this post are not nessesserily the views of the management :D ) Dave :nelson:

Fog lamp bulb replacement???????
Right, I did a search for this earlier, and came up with this, that I thought would help me, http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/glareguard/glareguard.html But this is the US version, without the side light included, so what I want to know is, is this the same procedure for removeing and replaceing a Jap spec fog lamp??? All I want to do is replace the bulb. I've found a screw on the front of the lamp unit, but that just turns and does nothing :confused: The prob is that it was turning dark after I found this link, and couldnt be bothered to scratch around with a hand lamp :D Many thanks in advance for your help :) Dave :hyper:

Push button start

Actual articles and announcements, apparently....
Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for NorthWest Gas said, "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house." (The Daily Telegraph) Police reveal that a woman arrested for shoplifting had a whole salami in her knickers. When asked why, she said it was because she was missing her Italian boyfriend. (The Manchester Evening News) Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen van, because they cannot issue a description. It's a Special Branch vehicle and they don't want the public to know what it looks like. (The Guardian) A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable teeth was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coastguard spokesman commented, "This sort of thing is all too common". (The Times) At the height of the gale, the harbourmaster radioed a coastguard on the spot and asked him to estimate the windspeed. He replied he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff. (Aberdeen Evening Express) Mrs Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled "He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out "Heil Hitler." (Bournemouth Evening Echo) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = A list of actual announcements that London Tube train drivers have made to their passengers... "Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologise for the delay to your service. I know you're all dying to get home, unless, of course, you happen to be married to my ex-wife, in which case you'll want to cross over to the Westbound and go in the opposite direction". "Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller suffering from E & B syndrome, not knowing his elbow from his backside. I'll let you know any further information as soon as I'm given any." "Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is that last Friday was my birthday and I hit the town and had a great time.The bad news is that there is a points failure somewhere between Stratford and East Ham, which means we probably won't reach our destination." "Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the delay, but there is a security alert at Victoria station and we are therefore stuck here for the foreseeable future, so let's take our minds off it and pass some time together.All together now....'Ten green bottles, hanging on a wall.....'". "We are now travelling through Baker Street, as you can see Baker Street is closed.It would have been nice if they had actually told me, so I could tell you earlier, but no, they don't think about things like that". "Beggars are operating on this train, please do NOT encourage these professional beggars, if you have any spare change, please give it to a registered charity, failing that, give it to me." During an extremely hot rush hour on the Central Line, the driver announced in a West Indian drawl: "step right this way for the sauna, ladies and gentleman... unfortunately towels are not provided". "Let the passengers off the train FIRST!" (Pause ...) "Oh go on then, stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care - I'm going home...." "Please allow the doors to close.Try not to confuse this with 'Please hold the doors open'.The two are distinct and separate instructions." "Please note that the beeping noise coming from the doors means that the doors are about to close.It does not mean throw yourself or your bags into the doors." "We can't move off because some idiot has their f***ing hand stuck in the door" "To the gentleman wearing the long grey coat trying to get on the second carriage - what part of 'stand clear of the doors' don't you understand?" "Please move all baggage away from the doors (Pause..) Please move ALL belongings away from the doors (Pause...) This is a personal message to the man in the brown suit wearing glasses at the rear of the train - put the pie down, four-eyes, and move your bloody golf clubs away from the door before I come down there and shove them up your a**e sideways" "May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no smoking allowed on any part of the Underground.However, if you are smoking a joint, it's only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage". :shock:

Club Merchandise,members input!
Ok I'm boring here, but I would go with the flow. :D A more descrite logo, i beleive would suit the club image a lot better. Agree with the comments on this. Also beleive that you still gota offer the same choice you've got already, ie; Polo, Tee, Fleece etc, to cater for all tastes. Are we talking only one choice of main colour? ie dark blue as in the pics? or could there be a limited choice of options? Just a thought. Dave

Chips chips chips!
James, I hope this is of help to you, 90p should buy you a nice bag of chips, or if its homechips you prefer, then you can either chip your own from potatoes, or my presonal preferance, is to go to ASDA and buy some frozen ones. Then you've got the choice of either straight cut or crinkle cut ones and oven or frying.......................... the choice is endless really. Then of course you've got the choice as to what to put on them, salt, vinager, ketchup, gravy, mustard, etc,etc Just thought I'd throw that bit of advice in there for you, anything to help m8 ;) Dave :cool:

Like A New Skyline G35 TT
According to Nissan, the new Skyline will not be released until 2005 at the earliest. So I'm not sure what you've seen, but I doubt it's a R35 Skyline. :confused: Dave
