  1. Try Ryan @ Zedtech in the traders forum. He's doing replacement engines (rebuilt) with warranty. Obviously its not a cheap option, but is a good deal for what you are getting! I can also vouch for his work :)
  2. Another tragic loss, always seems to happen near xmas :( My mates father in law died saturday, a friend was buried today due to a heart attack (age 39!), wtf is going on!? Things like this kinda change my views on life at times, just make the most of it because you never know....& take care.
  3. kinda puts everything else into perspective really doesn't it. :( My condolences to his friends & family...RIP.
  4. Think i know the car you saw, dont think the guy is on here though. If its the one i'm thinking of, it is the one that was parked next to you at the meeting in Abingdon you came to.
  5. Mine was like that mate, just not quite as bad! Drain, flush & renew oil, use dexron 111 oil. Have a new oil pan gasket ready too. Mine is fine now, just really gacked up...& the oil was still red!
  6. sideshowbob replied to a post in a topic in General Discussions - Non 300ZX
    Welcome dude, waitin' for the pics!
  7. Hope you got what you wanted mike, after all... it is the best colour! :)
  8. Mmmmm, yummy! is that you modelling that Al? :x: Seriously though mate, i'll be ordering some ''goodies'' for the mrs. ;) See ya soon......Simon.
  9. Well done to all the family ;)
  10. Seriously! :confused: Surely not?
  11. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=41510&referrerid=3178 Sorted! ;)
  12. Have a look on http://www.300zx.org.uk theres pretty much everything you need to know about a zed on there, including a link to removing & cleaning the headlights.....somewhere! HTH.... ;)
  13. I presume yours is an import? do a search on headlight upgrades, there is one which involves fitting an extra wire to enable you to use uk spec bulbs of a higher wattage. I did this and the lights were noticably brighter, but the car wouldn't tick over properly at all, seemed to zap all the power :confused: Put the normal jap spec bulbs back in, & all is fine, just can't see shit! failing that, there was a group buy in the traders forum a while back for hid lights. You have to be a subscribed member to take part in group buys though ;) Try http://www.elta.co.uk for j-spec bulbs, you'll have problems trying to source them through halfords etc!
  14. Seen this at the reading meet, theres 3 of 'em...that z, a supra & an rx7. All in the same condition too! Dont do it cos, its awful :x:
  15. I always let mine idle for about ten minutes before driving, even then it still feels sluggish for a few miles. Always wait for the water temp/oil pressure to get to the correct levels before any sort of 'boost'.
  16. Welcome mate, have you tried over @ z-club.net ? I think thats the site address :confused:
  17. All those vents & louvres, it'll end up looking like a gto :x: Bloody 'orrible....IMO :)
  18. I owned a mk3 supra turbo, auto. Own a zed tt, auto. There is no comparison between the two, the zed will whoop it easily. you only have to park the two side by side in a car park, the zed will already have won! ;)
  19. I've just added a 2nd car to my policy with houghtons, the z is now in classic status (5k per annum). Added a 1.6 astra, n-reg as a daily driver. Cost £600 for the pair f/c. ;)
  20. What was it that the skinheads used to have tattooed across their knuckles?.....A.C.A.B..... :rofl: Seriously though, the police force just seems to be a money making organisation now, just interested in hitting targets for the month etc... Whether its right or wrong doesn't seem to come into it anymore. The majority of coppers i have met seem to be complete tossers, always have a chip on their shoulder and a point to prove. There are however some good guys, one of them posts on here. He'll probably make himself known somewhere in this thread :)
  21. Not too sure really, is a nickname of mine. My mate's started calling me it when i was racing motocross, something to do with my uncanny ability of 'getting off' the bike when i wasn't s'posed to! I've dnf'd more races than i've had hot dinners! Although what this has to do with sideshowbob..... i don't know!
  22. See ya dude, take it easy ;) Catch you on msn sometime.
  23. Spotted a grey z on the a34 Nr oxford this morning, think the plate was g*** ejh? had a fog light bolted to the rear bumper, and an aftermarket front end.
