  1. I thought hubby :mac1: would have sorted you out. Damsell in distress etc. You sound like you got my kinda luck.
  2. Pass I know of him not know him he's one of Dave Perry's mates. PS read my previous Edit
  3. I was also told that only a couple of places in the UK will refurb because once they're split it is a major problem getting them to reseal as they musy go back exactly as they came apart. Sorry to say this. I'd speek to Peter forgotten his name. I'll look it up and post it up. He's in Blackpool bigger splitrim dealer. Here you go http://www.performancewheelsupplies.ltd.uk Also Dave at dp has split and built loads of wheels on his race cars. He recons that you should replace all bolts, use new rim ring seals (which Pete at above should be able to help you with) and liberal amounts of Tiger seal. Which when th wheel is clamped back together you smear the bit round the inner joint. He also reconds you'll never get em apart again though once done so get it right first time.
  4. How long you had the car? Because the Z has climate control the incroments are in degrees centigrade and 40C is hot. So if the central vents don't work I'd say you dash has been out and some of the ducting dumped. Which is comon with these cars. However in the lower duct O/S (just above the steering columb under dash) there is a thermo probe. if this duct is missing, prob not connected or connected but not in the duct and pushed back near the matrix you heater will either be on full or reading the matrix temp instead of the air temp going into the car.
  5. That usually is accompanied with crankcase presure and dipstick poping out.
  6. Andy I'm so happy now, so I've paid my dues, but there is nothing in my spam folder from this forum so something has cocked up. Maybe it's my age.
  7. Look being half Italian I don't give a shit about complaining and look I'm back. :dance: :dance: :dance: :D :D
  8. Carn't even edit Have a nice day
  9. Well I can assure you that even now I get promts through my Email when people subcribe to a thread I have + I used to get PM notification and I aint had any. Having made the Mods awhere your reaction is "Shit happens basically" Well it will continue with an atituded like that. I thought the point of this forum was to forge a comunity of like wise interested people. Quite frankley I anit interested in people that don't give a Sh1t if they mess someone around because they themselves have cocked up and carn't be arsed to put it right. People like that I'd rather smack in the nose to be honest. Surely the decent thing to do would be a "hey sorry about that something has gone wrong". Reinstate my account with a "get you dues in bud" not it happen Tuff. Great forum keep it up lads
  10. Is this because my subcription is due? Weren't we supposed to get a reminder Via Email or PM? Mind you since I carn't acces my PM's how would I know. I've just checked and discovered that I paid last years subcription on the 28th of Feb. So I must assume that that is it? Peronally I think that is pretty crap to just switch me off without an Email or PM say hey mate your subscriptions are due in the next week etc. So I don't think I'll bother to rejoin. What is the point if a bit of comon courtesey is even extended to existing members (well technically I was) Nice one:mad:
  11. Where has my prive message link gone
  12. Is it smoking all the time? and worse on over run = fooked turbo oil seals or is it smoking just when you set off and when your foot comes off the gas. = fooked Valve stem guide seals Or is it smoking at over 3000 rpm and while you have your foot in the gas hard= Broken piston or rings Have you installed bigger injectors? or had your injectors out off the fuel rail to be sevices? If so check your oil levels and smell the oil on your dip stick. If it smells of petrol you may have split injector seals and be over fueling. It is easy to damage the injector seal rings when reinstalling. If it does smell of petrol take the plugs out and get some one to turn her over (cover their eye with goggles) if you've split a injector ring this way you'll know which one. Remove and re install with new top and bottom seals + plenyt off oil so it doesn't snag again. If you have an over fueling problem because if a split injector seal then I suggest you replace the rings on that piston as the feul boar washes and wears the rings away so fast its un true.
  13. Yep you take care in the rain or she'll bite you big time. Get the very best rubber you can on her. That is the most important and most overlooked mod of all as it's that bit of the car that holds you to the road or doesn't. I recomend Bridgestone S02's if you can get them or Perrelli Rosso Neros ZR rating. Not cheep but They are almost ride flat tyres. Had a imediate deflation at 95 mph last week. Big lump of metal made a 2 inch hole in one. Chris from Get Greddy was in the car with me and thought it wasn't punctured. Your life is worth every penny + there the best tyre you can have in the rain.
  14. Totally fed up with the comeplete *****x that certain Traders say about cars their selling. 2 white Z's with Steve Hillen (Stillen to most people) body kits being described as Full Nismo Spec 300ZXR's "Keithley" Another white Z with a AB-Fugg kit the same as the Scotts lad (carn't remember your name Sorry) but his is Bayside Blue. This one is described as having a full Nismo R Kit and lowered springs. I rang another "Jap Car Specialist"????? as the picture on the Auto-trader made it look like a SWB NA. I asked if it was a SWB 2 seater or a 2+2. He said "their all 2+2. They never made a SWB 2 seater". I said "I think your mistaken as its a SWB that I'm looking for". Hethen quite snottily shouts, "Well you woun't fooking find one cos they didn't make them". So I thanked him for the benefitt of his expert knowledge. "Course they did you fooking ignorant ****er. Is this how you speek to all your prospective customers. Have a nice day". I looked at a few more and just got depressed with the amount of utter Tosh these people are putting in written addverts and verbal bull shit. All this after curbing my Volvo and wrecking a tyre and wheel rim. :rant:
  15. I was looking at a 2001 with the round lights on the back and the BBS le Mans wheels. I was sourley tempted. Yep I've always like em and apparently the 97+ cars are well and truely sorted.
  16. Someone posted the vid of the woman riding that bike. She had such an allmighty climax she fell off.
  17. Its like free fall parashoot diving for cowards :rofl:
  18. Think it's the torque/traction equation. Too much grunt to lay it down nice and smoothly. I could be talking complete and utter boll*cks, but I think thats the mistery.
  19. Forward facing abseiling. The rush you get as you run and jump of a cliff edge takes some beating.
  20. Go on enjoy it. England didn't play well and Fair play the Jocks where really up for it and deserved to win on the day. However we didn't play as bad as the Welsh yesterday. What has happened to that team? 12months ago they were awesome. Six nations is always fun at our house. Irish Wife Me English born with an Italian mother Kids Welsh one plays for a Welsh Rugby Club and going for trials with the Welsh youth. So a least the Little lady was happy.
  21. I remember that first Z feeling too. Enjoy it. Have Fun.
  22. Get her a second hand Lotus Elise at that price you'd get a beauty and then you kna nick her car. Ace to drive, but don't get seen in it.
  23. Yep go for the 150 red i with the six speed box. Better fuel consumpsion more power and much better residuals.
  24. Volvo S60 D5 average about 44 to the gallon leather and loads a of toys. Handles well and about 160 bhp, but you can get the sports chip for £380 fitted by Volvo tuning and that bumps it up to 230bhp and still 40+ to the gallon. Or a nice Volvo C70 T5 will do 40 to the gallon on the motorway at 80mph averages about 25mpg, but 250bhp standard and more torque than a fish wife and £430 you can have it Rica chipped at Volvo tuning and hey presto 320bhp, 430 pounds of torque and better fuel comsumption than before. Rocketship armchair. With the Rica chip it'll wee on most Porsches pre 997
  25. This happen time after time and if the CPS had anyone with half a wit 90 percent of these things would never get off the blocks. Glad to see you got the thing dropped but sorry those b's wastrd so much of ya time. :rant:
