  1. Mine were 6x4, replaced mine with Kenwood jobbies. Are they Nissan speakers in yours, reckon someone's adapted it to accept other sizes :confused:
  2. Yep, sounds good to me. Bigalz: i shouldn't worry about being slow mate, theres a guy i work with wants to come with us, he drives a ...........100nx!!, maybe have to meet him there!
  3. When i was 13, i was in ''Sorry'' with Ronnie Corbett, was filmed locally (Wallingford) had the whole of our class as extras! Also..anybody here remember a band called ''King Kurt''? Have seen the lead singers dick!! :x: He was getting a BJ from a groupie on stage, my mate also lost his cherry to the same groupie on the stage as the band played! Made front page headlines!! Was at Reading university (sexadrome!!), back in '88.
  4. Will be there saturday, for sure! Can't make sunday as it's the Mrs's birthday :(
  5. Bigalz: will be heading up m4 too, perhaps meet at Chievely services, as i'm getting on m4 at Newbury? Will have to arrange this, this weekend as i'm going away next week and have no access to a PC!
  6. The way the water pisses in from the roof with the window 2mm down! Seatbelt's a fookin' nightmare, keep forgetting to release it before opening door! Other than that...........NOTHING AT ALL, IT'S PERFECT! THATS WHY I BOUGHT IT!! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
  7. I used to ride a Lambretta...........enough said! Had several Vespa's too! One of my mates had a Yamaha ''Banshee'' road legal racing quad :bow: , anyone who knows what this is will understand how much ''fun'' this was! Basically an RD350, tweaked & put in a quad, sounds absolutely awesome, think you can ride one on a car licence too?
  8. Mine's a pioneer unit, it fits perfectly. The plastic ''flange'' :p that comes with it sits behind the dash unit nicely. The head unit has to be screwed to the metal bracket in the dash, most head units have several holes for this purpose try fixing it a little further into the dash, then maybe the plastic ''flange'' will tuck in behind to make a neat job of it. Hopefully this will make some sense to you! :confused: Mines an import too.
  9. Find a tesco that isn't open 24hrs go down there at night & do some donuts instead, just as impressive! ;)
  10. Any ideas where its leaking from? Mine sprang a leak in the power steering pipe under the engine area, its cladded wih pipe lagging so is hard to detect, if you (carefully) cut away the lagging there is a pipe joiner (pressed joint) joining the pipe together, mine leaked here. Take the whole pipe off & take in to a hydraulics Co, the chatged me £20 for a new pipe, make sure you take the joiners at either end with you too. The guy who fixed mine found it easier to remove the alternator (or starter motor, can't remember which! :confused:) to gain access to the pipe from underneath. Hope this helps........Simon.
  11. Yes it's a commercial policy, but was originally swapped from a private car policy (max No claims) to a commercial policy when i went self-employed, have since been told that i can't swap it back to a private policy, as you can't use a commercial policies No claims on a private vehicle :confused: If they'd told me this at the time, i'd have started a fresh policy on my van & kept the car policy running too. So now i have 10+ yrs ncb on my van and will have 3yrs on the Z in july.
  12. I've been driving 14yrs, never had an accident, have now got a clean licence. Because my max no claims is on my work van, i've had to start a fresh policy (2yrs ago), i am 35yrs old :x: , i paid £825 F'C, with Osbournes, clean licence, 2 yrs no claims. Had a Supra single turbo & a 200sx before the Z. Have read on here about a firm called Houghtons who seem pretty good, will see what they can quote me in July when my policy expires.....the car is an import!
  13. He, he, i've heard something about Baggins being good with balls maybe thats why he's always got his hands in his pockets!! :eek: I'll give it a week or so to gauge the response on here, then i'll go & see Fred (landlord), see if he's had any response from the Poopra guys. Mike: Won't make the next Reading meet (if there is one! :( ), you going to Japfest? I get back from holiday on the 21st, so i'll see you at Japfest?
  14. Talking of pulling out.......Rice boy 2 think of the upholstery! LOL! :rofl: :x:
  15. I have 235/40/17....Front 255/45/17.............Rear I've just found http://www.tyresave.co.uk/fitment.html very helpful! PCD 5 x 114.3 Offset 35...42 Centre bore 66.0
  16. Perhaps theres a way to wire the pc up to a vcr, then you could record everything & watch it when you get home! :rofl: :confused:
  17. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :nono:
  18. chauffer me missus to her wedding? Isn't she marrying you then?! :confused:
  19. Try waggling the front bumper around, see if it squeaks, mine does & i haven't a clue how to fix it! :confused: It's actually under the bumper, around the intercooler vents where it squeaks. Just a thought! ;)
  20. Thanks to the 3 guys who made the trip, Baggins, Jonnyd64, Scooby1. Not a bad show for a 1st meet! The guy who owns the pub has a Poopra TT, he is willing to make it a monthly event, he will post on the Poopra site to gauge the response. How about you guys....anyone willing to make it on a monthly basis?
  21. No problem mate, glad to be of help! Try Courtesy nissan in usa for propshaft bush, cheaper than uk dealers....even with shipping! They can also do the service pack for you. But your probably better off going to a uk dealer for plugs/filters etc. Brads a top guy, does a proper job for ''reasonable'' money! :bow:
  22. Just A-pillar gauge holder (arrived wednesday, wooo hooo!), oh, and i must get some gauges too!
  23. sideshowbob replied to a post in a topic in General Discussions - Non 300ZX
    Thanks Dave Marley, i'll look into that. Mines still in km's, had 112mph limiter bypassed, been chipped & boost jetted. Not too fussed about the CC, but would be nice to cruise higher than 60mph! :)
  24. Think it's junc9 mate (Oxford/Newbury A34), head to Newbury, get off at Didcot junc (Milton interchange), then follow instructions i posted earlier. Hope to see you there? No worries Mike.....see you soon. :)
  25. Welcome mate, Could take a week or so to be ''subscribed''. Have a look in the ''membership'' section on the bulletin board. See you at Japfest then.
