Sad, I did some work for them a few years ago. The guys there were great.

I reckon it took 10 mins to get the piston rings on alone :D

I have EXACTLY the same problem, cheers guys.

Put the Z engine in it! I've had a tensioner go too which resulted in several valves getting bent.

You should watch Peter Kay in "The Ice Cream Man Cometh", it's very funny.

If they put cameras in them I'll go on a spree then sell em on e-bay :rofl:

In the days when just analogue signals were available it was very difficult to get a good signal in a car unless you were close to the transmitter (I've tried allsorts of omni-directional and custom made aerials). Digital TV requires an excellent signal to noise ratio to work properly. Without a yagi aerial, like the ones on your house roof, you will struggle to be honest. You may get something when stationary but on the move, you'll be lucky to get anything tbh. A booster won't help because the good ones are designed to boost the signal at the mast and reduce losses down the co-ax to your TV. All other boosters are useless, a masthead amp in a car wouldn't be effective due to the short co-ax run, you would only be boosting noise aswell.

Once left my wallet in a Tesco in Wales. I eventually got a call from the Police saying it had been handed in so I drove 125 miles from Preston to get it only to find that there was no wallet, no money, no credit cards just half a paper driving licence and some receipts in a clear plastic bag. I even got quizzed as to why I had a firearms receipt in there which was for a pellet gun. Total waste of time and petrol FFS.

My Zed's MOTless at the mo but I could turn up in Shaunmac's LOL!

Oh bugger, I wonder how many post offices will close now!

Sounds to me like number plate checking is HIGH priority at the moment. With ANPR systems waiting to spring into action, the goverment wants to ensure we can all be duly nicked as we should be and unlike in any other fookin country.

I knew nowt about Zeds back in 2000 but through advice on here I've done all the work myself so £1,500 for the car with no engine! Fitted previous engine after write-off, wheels £400, manual box with conv kit £750, stuff from Smithy £850, HKS SKB+IND £300, leather £400, recent paint to sort out imperfections £100 so £4.3K for a clean car which trounces M3s. Can't go wrong with Z power ;)

A mate of mine downloaded one but as soon as he married her it was like she'd had a personality transplant, she's pure evil!

You did well, my Mother phoned the police the other night to report some chavs robbing the house across the road. They turned up THE NEXT DAY. In the meantime they made several visits to the property to ensure they'd done a proper job. Must have been a sickening site but she couldn't exactly challenge them. Wish I'd been there, I'd have done what you did mate. MoFo's need shooting IMO.

This is the one from 2F2F, this was taken in Florida in 2003 but it WAS in Britain this year in Modified Nationals.

Aircraft in the 2nd world war used superchargers, multi-valve engines etc. Nowt new at all.

Rescued a starving and mistreated cat back in 1993 from some weirdos living across the street, drove it 120 miles to my aunt's place and it spent it's life up north till 2 weeks ago when it had to be put down. It looked like it was at death's door 13 years ago!

A Primera LOL!

Damn, maybe I'll take my mate's Landrover then. That'd be more fun on the corners :D Cheers Dave.

How much is Ty Croes mate? Looks like they struggle to get up to any speed on the TV programme 5th Gear.

Sounds like it's just the synchro rings. The gears themselves will be fine.

According to this old post, sub 10s shouldn't be a problem in a tuned Z:- http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=6566&page=4 The stock 300hp 300ZX TT is limited to 155mph with out the the limiter a stock 300ZX TT tops out at 170mph. The 450hp 300ZX GTZ also hits the 180mph mark. The 1993 Trust 550hp 300ZX clocked out at 203mph, 0-60 in 3.sec and 1/4 mile in 9.7sec. You put it together! The 300ZX can more then reach horse power figures of 800hp... A proper cock appears in this old thread, slating the 300, but it turned out he knew fook-all about cars in the end LOL!

I've seen this on cars in the past. A few years ago I went to view an F plate Supra which turned out to be an early 1984 model, it was a left hooker and was in bad shape too. Thought it seemed too cheap at the time!

They've all gone "Mainstream". I fooking hate radio stations over here.

I only just watched it tonight, went into the kitchen and my dog had :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: everywhere. Must be catching. :rofl:
