Good for you Dave - immediate doctor's advice aside, it will certainly benefit your long term health in every way.... .....And you are already aware of the financial benefits!! I wish you all the best in sticking at it matey - good luck my friend...:clover: Richard:cool:

I quite like that actually...... :thumbup:

PMSL - what, that baldness is all I have to show for 11 years of Z ownership.......:rofl:

I know - I had hair when I joined the club.....:lol: Thanks for your continued support mate; it's much appreciated!! Richard:thumbup:

My last one tonight - just because it's their best song...... :punk:

And a great track from a cool TV series..... :alien:

And just because it's Friday...... :biggrin:

And for Dave, another from Pink Floyd.... Richard:thumbup:

And one from Whitesnake......

And a classic from one of the best ladies in Rock..... Richard:punk:

And whilst it might be "wuss rock" I have heard this on Planet Rock a few times of late and have started to like it...... Richard:cool:

One I have not heard for ages.....

Yes, yes and yes, Andy....:cool:

Nope - as the 50 profile is for a J-spec running 225/50/16 all round mate..... UK spec goes wider on the rear, hence the profile drops to 45 on the 16s..... And you are right with your 17 inch fronts - they "should" have a 45 aspect ratio; assuming you have 235 width. 19s would have a "35" profile for the fronts if you stick with 235 - the wider rears of 265 would need to drop to "30" Hence with 20s, if you can't get a "25" profile, you could go narrower with 235/30/20 all round:wink: But Si is dead right for another reason - 20s will look out of place on a Z32 anyway.....:biggrin:

Welcome to the club Stu......:thumbup: Richard:cool:

It can be done - providing you get the right off-set and tyre profiles..... ...Personally I would not go above 19s; tyre prices will become prohibitive and getting the profile right on the rears to preserve the running diameter will be tricky. Stock (UK spec) = 245/45/16 17 inch upgrade = 255 (or 265)/40/17 18 inch upgrade = 255 (or 265)/35/18 19 inch upgrade = 255 (or 265)/30/19 So it only follows that for 20s you need a "25" profile if you keep the width - you'd have to use a narrower tyre if you can only get a "30" profile.... Richard:)

Yup - what Lee said....... ....And FFS, just keep it taxed all year so you can drive it whenever you want!!! Richard:biggrin:

Gotta agree..... Brian is a true gent and a credit to the club...... Not to mention an all round nice chap....:thumbup:

Good luck with the new toy Nicci......:clover:

LOL - agreed....:wink: Far easier than putting the wheels on full lock and opening a flap!!! Plus if you have the right concentration of antifreeze, the coolant will show up more prominently on said dipstick!! Nice wok on cleaning the tank though Andy....:cool:

Me too..... ......run the engine with the heater on full temp and loosen the little cross-head plastic screw on the opposite side of the radiator to the cap (before the engine is up to operating temp), to let out the air bubbles. Tighten it back up then go for a decent drive; let the engine cool back down, then remove the rad cap and the little plastic screw and top up once again. Don't forget to top up the expansion reservoir either.... Richard:cool:

Congratulations on your new purchase matey - I look forward to the pics....:thumbup:

Welcome to the club mate!! Richard:thumbup:

Many happy returns mate! Richard:happybday:

Yesterday, I removed my rusty, leaky old PAS oil cooler and joined up the rubber hoses to successfully eliminate the PAS fluid leak....:hyper: Then I gave the Z a nice wash to remove all the grime from last weekend's short break to Shropshire; followed by me using it for my daily commute each subsequent day as I could not be bothered to move the cars around from garage to driveway until yesterday........:lol: And today, I tested my handiwork by taking the Z on a 120 mile return trip to Upton House in Warwickshire. Seems I fixed the PAS fluid leak nicely - and when we got home, I decided to give the Z a polish with Autoglym SRP; and then put it back in the garage ready for a top coat of sealant wax next weekend:cool: Richard:biggrin:
