  1. I had a feeling you might have mentioned your godfather before - but it was still a guess...:biggrin:
  2. PMSL - I think I know the same ones....:rofl:
  3. Heh heh - I have a picnic blanket in my Z too.....:lol: Aside from the standard bits (well, the jack basically) and an extending handled wheel-brace, I just carry some detailing spray and a couple of micro-fibre cloths! I used to carry a litre of oil too; but as I've never had to top the Z up since the day I collected it, I don't remember if it's still there... Richard:cool:
  4. ^^^What he said mate...... ......And a brand new viscous unit is actually quite expensive if you try to get one now!!! As for going electric, I have heard mixed opinions too - with these cars you do not want to compromise on cooling; so IMO a good, working, viscous unit will shift more air to keep thinks cool than an electric one. I'm no expert though - but if you do update to an electric unit, be sure to get one which can shift at least as much air! IIRC Mike at MJP can supply a suitable unit..... Richard:cool:
  5. Weird......:confused: Drop Jaikai a PM Alan - and let me know which post you want editing and I'll sort it for you. We'll get there in the end mate....:flowers:
  6. I agree with you too Alan...... ....Make that four....:wink: Yup - reckon I do now......:biggrin:
  7. Happy birthday mate! Richard:happybday:
  8. Many happy returns Ashley... Richard:happybday:
  9. I'm going for Judge Andrew Bright QC......:wink:
  10. Yes..... And yes.....:wink:
  11. Very similar to "Alloy-gators" mate.... http://www.alloygator.co.uk/ And I always thought they weren't worth the money - as I'd surely be careful enough not to scratch my rims..... Until reverse parking one day and not noticing that fallen kerb stone about 2 inches proud of the rest of the edge of the road...:sad: Result - 2 nice big chunks out of my AMG rims; wish I'd bought them now......:mad: Richard:clover:
  12. Not my cup of tea either - although I actually do like the standard car "out of the box. " However sadly they are still a bit too Cheshire or premiership footballer for me to add to the want list......:wink:
  13. Welcome to the club Paul - and good luck with your new toy!! Sounds interesting..... My wife has a 2006 XTR 3-door (last of the Mk3 shape) and, whilst I quite enjoy driving it, I do feel it needs more power:shifty: I was thinking of contacting Fensport and enquiring about a GT4 engine conversion - but since I already drive 2 V6 powered cars, I like the sound of that...:biggrin: Not necessarily mate; Meister R (a trader on here) does a great coilover set-up for the 300zx. Nice and taut bit not too harsh; fully adjustable - and a bargain compared to some lesser set-ups out there!! Richard:cool:
  14. Cool - nice one mate!! Richard:thumbup:
  15. Ian is without doubt a great chap - top work matey!!! And happy 80th to your mum as well my friend:happybday: This is just what the club is all about...:bow: Richard:thumbup:
  16. Looking good Bri.....:bow: I felt the same way myself, this morning..... Enough of the 1 month SORN, I thought, so I taxed the ZX; filled it with petrol and ended up doing a little 100 mile blast around the Chilterns!!! Boy had I missed the Z in January - it was like I only drove it yesterday too. Everything felt and sounded like it should!! Richard:thumbup:
  17. Never mind Lee - onwards and upwards mate.... Good luck with your next project...:wink: Nice one mate - Murt's old car has itself another owner in very quick succession.... Hopefully a keeper this time though; eh?.....:flowers: Me? Well one month of being SORNd was enough.... So I taxed it this morning, then took a little trip to the petrol station. However what with it being a nice sunny day, I realised just how much I had missed driving the ZX in the last few weeks - so I carried on driving for a bit longer..... And by the time I got home, I had covered over 100 miles!!! Gotta love the ZX....:bow: Richard:thumbup:
  18. No - it's definitely 235/40/18 Dan....:wink:
  19. Welcome to the club Yas....:thumbup:
  20. Nice one Gaz.....:biggrin: .......And in the 2nd video clip, the grey haired lady at 0:39 is sitting in a 350z....:wink: Richard:cool:
  21. Hi Vig, They're not that bad mate - and if you have the UK spec wind deflector, it hides the drivers' side one anyway.... I have a couple of pics here; but they are not real close-ups, although you get the idea. And as you also say, the £7 ones Ian has posted up are worth a punt at £7!! I think I'll order a set myself...:wink: Richard:cool:
  22. Many happy returns mate! Richard:happybday:
  23. I have heard that Valeo are meant to give the best results too - but Bosch 'blades are good also. Better than the cheapo brands, that's for sure!! The retro-fit flat blades are the way to go for best performance though (Valeo or Bosch); but as Si says, the big knuckle you get on all after-market retro-fit flat blades is not the best looking.... Richard:cool:
  24. Very nice Dan - can't wait to see the results....:thumbup:
  25. I hope so Phil - it would be good to catch up once again...... ......And even better if you did bring one of those fine Zeds....:wink: Richard:cool:
