Welcome back mate - and good luck with getting your car sorted once again.... Richard:clover:

Yup - MJP is the best place for sure. Always use OEM Nissan timing belt and associated other items...:thumbup:

Many happy returns Noel... Richard:happybday:

The light and aerial failing could be an unrelated coincidence.... But regarding the aerial, it might the plastic reel inside it has broken; when you turn the radio on and off, does the aerial motor still sound like it's functioning? Sometimes they just seize with dirt and grime etc - spray the mast with WD40 and manually move it up and down (in conjunction with turning the radio on and off, to avoid breaking it by force:wink:). If not, then it could be the connection has been interrupted; a loos wire or blown fuse. Or it could be the relay module which has failed - it's a white-opaque box the size of a cigarette pack, just inside the right hand boot trip panel. Good luck in fixing it mate, Richard:cool:

As said on your other thread - congratulations Chris.... It does indeed sound like a good buy; I look forward to the pics mate!! Richard:thumbup:

Nice one Chris.....:cool:

Not the case Steve...... not the case at all mate. And whilst I am appreciative of all members' input, you have seen the response I got in trying to organise a simple local meet. Rest assured that we will put in every effort to stage a successful 25th anniversary celebration, such efforts also need the support of the members by way of their attendance to make it a success. Richard:wink:

No worries mate... I used to live in Chalfont St Peter myself - overlooking Gold Hill Common, if you happened to be in that vicinity!! And you're right, it is a bit of a trek from Cardiff for an impromptu short visit!! Richard:balloon:

PMSL - but we cannot publish them on a public web forum Si....:rofl: But yes, back to the plot, it is a real shame as it would have been good to get something going for Christmas - especially with the additional original enthusiasm from other regions such as yours...:sad:

I may be interested too Mark - that would keep my ZX cosy in the garage...:wink: Also, can you get them for other cars as part of the GB? If so, price dependent of course, I'd consider one for the DD - it's a 2009 Merc SLK.... Richard:cool:

LOL - but sadly it looks that way Si.....:sad: Some regions (like this one) just cannot seem to generate much interest on their own. I could have pushed it a bit harder myself, perhaps, but I have not really had the time; and seeing as only 4 of us actually responded to the date poll; I did lose a bit of enthusiasm for making more effort. Sorry guys - I don't like to let folks down........ Richard:flowers:

Hi Rich, shame I didn't know - we could have met up mate!! And yes, it's not too shabby here in The Chilterns....:wink: Richard:cool:

Many happy returns old chap - have a great day mate! Richard:happybday:

Eeeeeh, them were t'days.....:rofl: Nostalgia just isn't as good as I remember it.....:oops:

Agreed gaz - see my comment above matey....:shifty::biggrin:

That's the one fellas.......:thumbup: It could have been an NA in Pete Shrimp's video - but in UK road tests the 3000gt was eclipsed by the 300zx (naturally, both UK spec TT cars) in pretty much every speed range; 0-60, 0-100, 30-70 (all mph) and standing quarter. In fact in the 0-100 sprint, the UK spec 3000gt could not break 16 seconds..... Which is why I did not buy one back in 2003, as my old Mk3 Supra could have matched the 3000gt!!! Richard:wink:

Bloody hell - this one resurrects itself every 3-4 years.......:lol: Hell, I'm going to change the rules so that no threads older than 6 months can be dug up.....:shifty: Richard:wink:

Exactly what Pete said..... The registration letter and actual year of first use are a "grey" area on many J-spec cars.....:wink:

There was an old vid of someone here (in an auto TT) racing a GTO at the Pod - and trouncing it..... ....I forget his name now (it was a while ago) but he used to sell the grounding kits. Pete something-or-other maybe?? Richard:biggrin:

Cheers Gaz - and it was a thorough drive too; some fast A-road overtaking, a 3 mile motorway traffic jam, some town driving and a good hard motorway blast when the traffic (and fog) cleared :wink: All was well and the Z was back to its old self once again :thumbup:

Took it on a little 100-or-so mile round trip, now that my PTU issue is resolved...... .....I have to say, the car felt a whole lot better; the engine seemed smoother and more responsive..... It's good to have it back again:thumbup: Richard:dance:

PMSL...... But be careful what you wish for Dave; else Allan may post a few from his private collection just for you mate......:w00t:

Yup - I remember it well...... And then the GTO started to smoke like an old steam engine after trying to keep up....:rofl:

Hmmmmm - interesting....:cool::shifty:

Ahem - what he said.....:oops:
