ah memories, i seen it many years ago when it was Steves, great car, lovely guy,

thanks I have emailed MJP and also zedworld, so lets see

:yes: my sister has just rang me she has booked the ferry as well, her name is Lizz, so thats 2 irish Zs for sure going, we will have to access the expense of bringing the third one, eg. i would have to tax it for 3 months{400e} and ferry {300e} we will see nearer the time, but other sister will travel with us one way or the other.

i need a set of rear shocks asap, prefered oem, if there is such a thing, 95 swb jap spec., i tried nissan ireland today they cant get them. can someone point me in the right direction please as regards traders etc. i know postage will add a bit, but i have MOT in 2 weeks. thank you

:biggrin::thumbup: Ferry is BOOKED, ok 1 car booked on the ferry for JAE, no reg. given as yet, Outward on the Ulysses from Dublin port on Thurs. 10/09 at 8.05am should be at the show ground early evening, Return on the Ulysses from Holyhead, Mon. 14/09 2.40am feeling excited

fingers crossed me in my oldie baby., i own her 12yrs now i give my sister the white one and my other sister has her own so 3 irish women and 3 zsss

Sounds lovwoy mark, in the z and with family, what more could a person ask for

Looking at ferries for this, but as Club Annual Event, looks like 8 cars confirmed for the weekend?? Needto decide, it will cost me about 1500e? Is it worth it?

lovely photos, I think I seen ianl in them,

I know dave, but I always seem to have something on, the last one was the terenure show, and this sunday is graves day where my mother is, maybe sept. ps the 300zx woud be a "poor relation" of cars there???

just to finish off this story, I could not go up the thurs. I had booked originally due to the leak situation so I re-booked for last wed. I rang them at 8am(call centre) before I left Dublin, all ok. I get there to depot, 1 hour drive, no windscreen, I go mental, say I am going to charge them petrol and expense, nice manager tells me the screen is still in the UK, they thought they had one in stock in Belfast gave me the price of £225, then couldn't find it, so had to get one from over there which should have been more expensive, I left the car with him overnight and he knocked £50 off the price. all good, and yes funkysi was right its a Pilkington screen. thanks to all as usual for the advice.

membership pack received Gary, thank you. Trish

feel for you graham, that was one shit day, but as said at least you got it home without the big expense, a lot of thinking to do as regrds engines

fab simon, much respect

congrats Gary, I was just nosing around the Ireland section, I think the most we ever had at a meet was 6 possibly 7, I actually organised the first meet ever I think in 2004, 3 cars and Adam(young 300zx lover) we did a couple of shows, we went up north, and went on a run with a couple of zclub members over here and then they went up to Gary. the good old days.

myself and the sister are trying to attend a few shows, actually im making her come with me, 6th June we did the Terenure car show, there was one other z32 there, silver but we did not meet the owner. Today we did the Trim classic car show, no other z32, but there was a stunning 240z, no sign of the owner, I will get pic up. had a bit of fun on the m50 on the way home, all legal, driving side by side, I would have loved to see the view from behind. last night I went on a bit of a cruise with younger people. I think I might try get a bit of space at Japfest in Sept. (Irelands premier??? jap car show at Mondello) or there is Heatwave at Fairyhouse on 30th Aug, what you think dmaprelude, hans, royztt, and gary and co.

I remember buying a set a few years ago for the red one, I think from the z centre, and they were cheap as chips for oem ones, because at that time not many wanted them seemingly, most were going for fancier ones. I will shop around, thanks

the rear shocks on the swb are gone, any idea how much a new set of oem ones are?

thanks Jeff and all, I got the system pressure tested yesterday, he gradually built it up to about 1.5 bar, there was a leak from the rad hose on the left as you look in, the bottom one, also a leak from a pipe behind where the temp housing is, so he took it in today, cleaned the hard pipes, somebody had the hoses off before and there was lots of silicone on them, flushed out the whole system, pressure tested it again, then left it running for 2 hours before I collected it, all seems fine.

OMG, I nearly made a very very expensive mistake, I think, lucky I always read everything, I spoke to my sister last night, had her persuaded, based on cost, to come over for this special meet, I was there for the 20th Anniversary at JAE, looked at ferry cost this morning, times etc., just about to make final decision when I see in this post "can park in the city centre and stroll up" am I reading this right? There is only room for 50 cars on display?

Thanks Richard, and I feel really forum old with membership no. 169

just subscribed by pay pal.

I want to subscribe, which I first did in 2003, was subscribed then for a long number of years, then not for the last2 or 3, so what am I? New or renewal, sorry I have to ask on public forum but I cant pm anyone. Cheerz

200 mile round trip today, motorway and b roads, nothing over 12km ph, all of a sudden I could feel heat when I stopped at traffic lights, temp gauge rising, lucky I was 1 minute from my fathers house, got there switched her off, and could hear the water boiling. I left it for 2 hours, opened the rad cap, put water in it took a lot, with some coming out on the drip tray, moved the car forward to a dty patch, left it 40 mins, went back out, ground dry, topped it up, this time it lost nothing, drove it home, 20 klms. Temp gauge never moved. Any ideas, I had forgotten the excitement of z driving ...... not

Yes Ross her son works at Honda in Ballymount, they were going to the shop to get his lunch, you forgot to say YOU WERE IN YOUR Z, I didnt realise you had it back on the road, great
