RichardS

Welcome back Friday.....!!!

Happy birthday for yesterday Andrew - hope you had a great day!! Richard?

To all our Welsh members.... Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus.

Just to add, I believe that the 30mm aluminium and 30mm iron calipers are interchangeable; albeit you wouldn't have different ones on either side? When my aluminium ones seized a few years back, the refurbished pair I bought from Bigg Redd were iron - and they fitted straight on without any modification. Same brake pads too; which are in turn shared with a Subaru Imprezza WRX of some variety, as it has the same calipers.

Yup - my thoughts too. When mine (a series 1 PTU) started to go bad bad, it was a good 30-60 minutes before I could start the car again; then when it gave up completely, I had to wait hours until the engine had fully cooled down.

Today, I fitted a nice new K&N cone air filter - and replaced the previously installed Hella OEM-type horns with a pair of 350z jobbies, duly purchased from Banzai Breakers. They give out a much louder "parp" which is more in-keeping with the presence of a Zed....?

Happy birthday Adam - have a great day mate!!

Many happy returns Marty - have a good one mate!!

I suppose it's in the same spirit.....?

Ouch - that's not going to be a cheap fix. Did you get any photos of the pot hole - and can you put a claim in to your local council for the damage?

I'd be looking at this option too..... Car seats may have evolved over the years, but I still think the original Z32 seats are pretty much the most comfortable of all the cars I have had. I can drive the Zed all day and step out without pain or stiffness (ooer mrs). Can't say the same for all the new cars I've owned!

It was the first decent, mild and dry day of the year - so I thought, why not take the Zed out for a spin. Did anyone else think the same.....? I covered about 50 miles across the Chilterns - so technically still local (and I did combine it with the supermarket run) - nice A-roads, a blast on the M40 and some traffic-free B-road action. I wasn't the only modern classic car owner out and about either. I saw some nice 80s and 90s machinery on my travels - so it seems a few others had the same idea! From a couple of '90s Porsche 911s, a 944, a very smart R129 Merc SL500, a Lotus Esprit and a Lotus Elan. I guess today was the day, that people thought their cars had been locked in their garages for long enough, over the winter?

Today, I took my Zed out for a little drive - first one since Christmas.... .....Boy, did it feel good! It was a nice mild, dry, day - no salt on the roads - it would have been rude not to?

Ian Seabrook did a more detailed article in Classic Car Weekly some years ago... I kept it and have recently framed it, and put it on my garage wall. I must take a picture or two....?

Thanks for your support mate!!

Thanks folks......?

Happy birthday Jim - hope you have a great day mate!! Richard?

Wow - that is going to be an amazing car when you have finished Naz........!!!

Thanks mate.....!! It was good to see yours too - and a shame that I missed you. Hopefully we can all get together this year for a few events and really do these cars some justice?

Hi and welcome to the club..... I think I may have seen your car at Jimmers, either when I dropped mine of or when I collected it before Christmas.

Hi and welcome to the club Dimitry - and that's a nice selection of Japanese supercars you have there sir?

Hi and welcome Jozef - and good luck with your restoration project. That is a nice looking Zed - too good to let go again!! As Andrew says above, Jimmer is your man, he knows these cars better than anyone in the UK....?

And one more...... Blindman (2008 Remastered Version) - YouTube

And another..... Duran Duran - Come Undone (Official Music Video) - YouTube
