    We all ragg em that the point of having em, but if you know the oils been changed every 4K and its been lavished with £1000's of proper goodies and not silly bling bits you'llproberbly be getting a good'n.

    In actual fact black is not a colour at all, it is the darkest intensity of what ever colour it is. ie normally red, blue or brown. This being the case means that the depth of pigmentation apears so dark because it is poor at reflecting light which makes it absorb heat. Therefore it can never be the coolest colour and in relative terms must be luke warm in comparison with any other colour. :D :D :D Fact.
  3. TT in car trader terminology is an abbreviation for Twin turbo and you'll find it in the traders guide glossery of trader treminology's so if he try's that one just tell him to get stuffed and get you money back. Also tell him if you have to take him to court he will have to pay costs as well as a refund. Don't be fobbed off. For £4.5k there are some real corkers that have been sold on here. Don't make the mistake of buying the first one you see because you really want one. If this guy is trying to rip you off (which he is) then don't have a thing of him and insist on a refund. "TT targe top" my backside. Targa top is slang for Targa roof pannels so an abbreviation would have to be TRP not TT. P.S. Tell him if he don't paying ASAP you'll go to the local press. That normally gets em moving. I hate Tw@ts like this they should be culled.
  4. Where are you going to put your bags and stuff with all those rudy stupid speekers and cr*p in the boot. + I was going to put a bid in but its Auto.

    If I were you I would be looking to buy either one of the cars for sale on here. Where it is a known car with history and usually had all the basic mods done. Or you get on to someone like http://www.GT Culture.com (I'll check to ensure that is correct) they used to be http://www.linney.org. These are import specialist who will sorse an A one condition car from Japan with what ever modes you require. They got a Gen 7 Celica TRD for my wife. You just never see em over here. Good people as are the guys on this board and went you go to meets etc and see the standard of the cars owned by 300zx.co.uk club members you'll realise how raty a lot of 300's are, because the cars here are top notch.
  6. OK Same answer in a way. IT looks like a Nissan Dealer affair to avoid a lot of work and a total Tailgate repaint.
  7. Its a standard spoiler with the ends trimmed and a Wings West (or Zcentre version of) Shogun high spoiler fitted and blended in. When the Z was a new car in 1990/91 the Uk dealers offered the Wings West shogun and F40 style high spoiler as an OEM optional extra and so as not to have to weld up the holes the original spoiler would leave + they'd have to repaint the whole tail gate. They did this because it was cheeper to do and didn't invole repainting.
  8. Cheers and welcome to the Z forum Clarkey_Sparkey It should be nice I've suffered for nearly 6 years so I can wear the badge and the cap. Like most here have said, We concede that the supra is a less costly and far less trouble-sum car to run and your guys have hit the nail on the head with regard to the confined engine compartment being the real killer on these counts. However I still prefer the looks of the 300zx to that of the Supra and most definately the 350z (hence still have three hundred), but if it was a comonsense contest between the 300zx and the mk IV Supra then the Supra would have to come first. If comon sense was what we were about neither would exist and my Z will still wee on 99% of your Supras. :tongue: :dance: :rofl: It should do, I could have a Farrari for what I've spent.
  9. I own mine because I love it. Its a thing of beauty and its bl**dy quick. mk iv Soopra is a quick nice car, but not what I want. It would have been a cheeper option than my Zed, but like i said it's imotive and not fiscal. Next car for me is a Noble GTO3R and I fancy a Radical or a Westfield XT4 as a track day car.
  10. There ya go full HID high and dip beams. Woooo can light the hole village up from a mile and a half away. :dance: If a rabbit runs across the road, by the time you reach it 0.4 seconds later it's seared to perfection and ready to eat. :wack:
  11. If you have just bought it take it back and ask for you money back. There are loads of really good Zeds out there. Once they go wrong they can be an expensive hassel. Always pays to get a good'n in the first place and quite frankly if I'd just picked one up and it started smoking within 500 miles I'd be back for a refund which your entittled to upto 3,000 miles or 3 months which ever comes first. You should have months of hasel free motoring with any car you just bought so sack it and get a proper one.
  12. How much for a plug'n play set for my high beam Chris.
  13. Who's that? Are you a new boy?
  14. Could do without the Jam Butty :hurl: The rest were Ok
  15. Congratulations Viniboy Best wishes from Mark and Family
  16. Shit the bed!! None of em are being used properly so all cases are unlawfull? Its far worse than I thought. This info should be made much more public.
  17. Gatso is static and completely acurate. I think the mobile units use the LPT20 and its made in the USA and must be on a fixed static tri-pod to work and there must be no operator inteferrance or the reading's are incorrect. So if you stick one in a Van that moves in the wind on its springs, or moves as it is buffetted by passing car and HGV's + a unsupervised Plod moving around and bingo descrepancies up to 58mph.
  18. Just think and all it cost him was a sore arse and 2 tubes of KY jelly :rofl: :rofl: Cos You gotta do something to get planning to grant that. I'm not jelous at all :mad: not one bit. No seriously, I'm not. Honest :cry:
  19. Yes they are So if you've got nabbed by one check out the BBC Eye web site. The guy who will help you prove that evidence from a mobile unit is unsafe is called Dr Michael Clark from some University. + There is a solicitor in Deans Gate Manchester Call Andrew Freeman of Freeman & Co. who can get almost any motoring offence thrown out on technicallities, because the police and more so the crown prosicution service are for ever procceding on incorrect information or equipment usage. If you aren't in the know why should a magestrate know. He's not cheep though (average about £450 to read the charge sheet and write a letter telling them why it cannot stand up in court), but if your licence depends on it then it's worth it.
  20. Thats because my gob's full and only because I had to scoff my pie before you grabbed it. I saw you drooling at it and getting closer.
  21. Who the fook id that old b*sterd How did I know that would turn up. I knew you've been waiting to get that most flattering image out. so I thought I'd give you a chance. You could have let me swallow the wasp first though + I've got more hair than that. :D
  22. When speed cameras came out I was all for them. They were introduced to us as being a traffic carming instroment for accident black spots and "if you weren't paying attention to the warning signs, therefore endangering someone elses life the you deserved to get find". However the guide lines for instalation have been abused by local Police forces because they can keep half the money raised by the camera. "Very wrong kind of incentive and not in the perdestrian or driver interest". The guide line states that a static Camera can only be place within 400 meters of an accident black spot. Which means we have cameras like the 1 on the M6 North bound shortly before the Blackpool junction. It has collected more revenue per anum than anyother Camera in the contry. Yet the accident black spot it supposedly serves is 393 meters away on a T junction on the A6. This year alone 4 people have been killed on that junction While no one has been killed on the M6 within a mile of the camera in the last 3 years. Yet countless numbers of people have lost there licences for travelling at sub standard EU motorway speeds. (lets remember that our speed limits were set in 1958. Shit I wouldn't dream of doing 70 in a 1958 Ford Pop, or Austin 7.) The Camera is not the reason for no deaths on the motorway. Then of course there is the mobile unit. Which it has be proven beyond all question that they are completely unreliable. These have been employed in ambuse techniques. Waiting round bends on fast A roads. So even though you can see clearly up the road you cannot see the Van as its in the trees and off the road. (clicky click) I won't go into the reason for why they are unreliable, but you can visit BBC open eye web and seach speed cameras. Or search the web for info on the Camera they use (get the name off the BBC site) and read the US manufacturers operation manual and why you should do so. Yes it is true tha Cameras could and should be used to save people lives, but the implemention of the cameras and the incentives to the police has been flawed. As usual we have a police force run by Paranoid crooks who do not have to answer directly to the people the are suposed to serve, but choose to see as the enemy. The alarming result is that road Deaths have risen on average by 20% in the reagons were speed cameras have been employed and believe it or not (but it is true and forms part of a government report) the areas and regions were cameras have not been used road deaths have actually fallen by 17%. It is because of this report that there has been a national freeze on sighting and use of any new Static and mobile cameras until a sellect comitee pulishes its findings. This is why we are being bombarded with surveys every where, because the Pod want to keep em and suppress the truth about mobile units and the sellect comitee findings. If they don't then the subsequent legal cases for damages will bancrupt most forces. Brunstrum is a meglomaniac and should be comited. We talk about Sadam Hussain and verious Hyotolas. In my veiw this man is up there with the rest of them. How come the rest of Europe don't have this problem? Why isn't Japan buying cameras by the million? There Counry is roughly the same size as the UK, but the population is almost the same as the USA. Rant over
