Cheers, sorted

Can't find the "people showing at the nec" forum

I don't think that does. Doesn't that change from just a list of post titles to title with snippet of post?

Do the photo at the bottom of your post thing work on the new site? If so do we have to set it up from scratch?

I too considered cleaning my z, but never made it to the garage

In the new activity / unread content, every new post is listed individually rather than just listing topics with multiple new posts as one item Another forum I use started doing this a year or so ago and I really don't like it. If a topic has had lots of posts and it's a topic your not interested in then it's a lot to scroll through, and if you are interested then you have to find the first reply somewhere down the list Don't suppose it's possible to choose view style?

In case you misssed it, i started a convertible tech thread recently ( which i am slowly adding to whn i get time) which you may find useful Feel free to add anything you discover that is unique to the convertible model https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?190899-300zx-convertible-(-vert-)-tech-guide

Gross vehicle weight is usually the maximum allowed weight when full, not the actual weight Somewhere on the forum is the weights of all the varients I seem to remember the vert is the heaviest of all the NA models

I would like some confirmation that other people are actually going before committing. ive paid someone to cover my work shift so I can go. but if no one is going I need to cancel them asap

Anyone still going?

so what time is this all kicking off on Saturday then?

Right half of a lwb welded to left half of swb ?

Has anyone told you about cutting a slot in the end of the bolts to make life easier?

These.... Had to resize them as my phone takes larger than foruum can handle

Fitted new number plates front and rear to the vert. The front was looking tatty and the rear has always anoyed me as it was the wong size Painted the front blate bracket whilst i was at it Broke the plastic bolts taking them out, so bought some new ones from halfords which were supposedly m6, but they were more like m6.5. Managed to retap the rear ones to m6, but ended up stripping the white ones so used metal bolts on the front plate

Isnt that the bracket for bolting the bumper side bracket to?

Swapped my fog lights for some brand new ones s

Can you do a video of it before you put it in the car, walking round it in a circle, so we can show it on the screens at nec rotating (idealy against a plain backdrop)

part 8 - the sales brochure

part 7 - wind deflector On the black plastic area of the roof storage bay lid, there is a flip up wind deflector, this is released from a lever just underneath the lid. It is just pusded back down to put it away Be careful when opening and closing the roof that you have opened the roof storage bay lid fully, otherwise it is possible to smash the release lever when swinging the back end of the roof down into the storage bay

part 6. roof storage bay lid handles On the top of the roof storage bay lid are two plastic handles. These are often broken or missing completely. These are still available from the usual places ( ie CZP)

part 5. probably something about the lack of heated windscreen / heated mirrors / etc Having a plastic rear window, the vert does not have a heated rear window. On the base model the heated rear window switch is blank Some models have heated wing mirrors, and in this case the switch will have a picture of a heated wing mirror

part 4. radio aerial all 300zx came with a diversity radio receiver basically there are 2 aerials and the receiver chooses the one with the best signal aerial one is the telescopic rod on the rear corner aerial two on all other models is built into the rear window in the vert aerial two is built into the front windscreen. its the wire you can see round the edge and up the centre i believe that this is the only reason the vert windscreen has a different part number, so possibly if you need a new one and the vert one is nla then one from another model should fit ( but ive never had to try)

part 3 . putting the roof back up its coming

part 2. taking the roof down its a work in progress :)
