My god 6000

the smoke is bad. I have seen morning smoke, because the smoke disapears about a metre from the car. This was lasting a long time. I checked the water about 2 weeks ago..

Mini update. The water is low. Sounding like head gasket? Stuart

Well my car is going in to be looked at tomorrow for a completely different matter. It sounds like the exhaust is blowing towards the the manifold. But I am thinking that it could all be related. I really do hope its just the PVC valves. Stuart

She drives very well. That is what is every strange about it. These 2 things have occured today. She smoked a little but it was more like soot when you floored it and it was 1 puff and that was it. Litterally like she was clearing her throat but then was fine. Paul, I change the oil ever 3000-4000 miles. She is due one now but I flush here probably once a year. Oh well. Looks like my Z experience maybe coming to an end :( I will see if any one wants her for breaking if things get too bad. AndyZ? You there? ;) Stuart

I noticed a few little things which I have only noticed today. First there is a ticking noise at idle. I will get a sound clip of this in a second. The ticking goes when I rev the engine. Also, there is a lot of smoke coming from my exhausts.:cry: Here is a video of my car smoking. Its strange as its not really blue/purple. Its more grey. I is pouring out of one side and then stops. Also when I rev the engine a little I get puffs of grey smoke out then. It also sounds like it is misfiring if you listen to the video. Also at the end of the video is a ticking which has first occured today. I think I am coming towards deep trouble here unless people can help out. It may be time to retire the girl if its big. :( Stuart

Thw widest I have seen is 335 and that was on a Lamborghini. Only 1 tyre manufaturer make them that big.

It was Hurman's hinting that there was too much blood for me. It wasnt the fact there was too much blood that made me not like it. It was predictable, a very recycled storyline, Fight scenes where boring and didnt show anything I hadnt seen before. QT tried to bounch the storyline round like he usually does but this time it was boring and not clever like his other films.

No. There where no ads for the 300ZX in the UK. The only one that had a 300ZX was an advert for Nissan in general and it only flashes up for a fraction of second I think. Stuart

No. I just thought the story line was poor, the fight scenes got boring and drawn out too long. The Cinematography was clever in places but just so copy cat in others. The Manga style part was very good. The blood part was slightly funny the first time round. Pushing the idea too far, 3rd time was getting boring, 4th time he was just trying to pad out time. Also I am amazed that people thing it is a good film because of red coloured water squirted from behind some one. If everything remained the same but there was no blood, people would think it was a crap film. Its a crap film regardless whether it did or didnt have blood gushing. Stuart

Yeah I have seen Kill Bill. Terrible film. I wont be watching the conclusion.

Your lucky I was getting 5bks. Whats the point of Broad band when you get speeds like that.

There is a tech write up on tt.net

0-60 is 6.3 I would expect a lot more. I think they look good but from what I heard they dont perform as well as they should

Its like the All American new Ford GT. 100% American, But the brakes are Italian, Chasis Lotus, body panels Aston Martin, and the body design is modified from the origianl one which was British. Hmmm, really American.

So would the dip and the mod on the other light be on at the same time? If so I heard you cant have quad light on at the same time. If you look at most cars with quad lights, one tends to be the side light which doubled as a main beam and the other the dip. Stuart

Is the the engine in the 350Z is renalt init?

then what you going to use for a main beam? Its the glass infront of the light which does the spread, so no matter what you do to the bulb the glass will spread it the same as high beam which will be too high too wide to pass an MOT.

I cant believe that shops have had their decorations up since the beginning of November. Its rediculas. Christmas is in December and towards the end of it at that.

Considering you are wanting to drive everywhere now you have your car back, will we be expecting you to be at Santa Pod in January? :D Stuart

I remember finding this ages ago when I was looking in to the car. I completely forgot about it. Nice find :D

Yeah, some one posted the link up a few days ago. The Aussies are browning their shorts. They only just beat Ireland by 1 point at home, and England beat France who are ranked 3rd in the the world, by 17 points. Every one will say that England played bad against France, but besides that try they scored becasue of a France mistake which turned in their favour, they didnt even get close to the England line. Stuart

You know what I mean ;) Its probably got 8000 miles to go, but in a straight line (Going over land) its closer than you would think.

Dont know. There will be stations all around the world which can track ships positions, but I doubt they will release it onto the net unless it was a "gimik" one company uses on their web site. Do you have the name of the ship or the company who runs it? Stuart

Actually if the ship went throught the Sewz Canal it takes tens of thousands of miles off the trip. It could be in the med right now.
