I presume this was you installing the speedo converter... best bet is to take it all to bits again, and make sure all the connectors are clean. Try waggling the connectors a bit with the ignition on, and you might be able to narrow the fault down. :) Some people seem to have problems with converters but others are fine. Hope you get it sorted! :dance:

I've got it on mine! :hyper: Check it out in the rides... http://rides.300zx.co.uk/rides/4047/Side.jpg Looks like we're a select bunch! :D

Hope you hear from them soon mate. Legrath- glad to hear your friend and family are ok.

I'm only putting it on here for reference, but this chap's a bit of a Zed fanatic- check out his collection of diecast models for starters! http://www.z32.com/main.htm

I've been trying to find a 1:18 scale model of a Zed- does anyone know where I might get one? Mark

My cousin's out in Thailand too, but likewise he's contacted us to say that he's ok- TFFT. Really, really shocking stuff and this bit's only the beginning- so many areas now without water, food, sanitation, etc- it's gonna get worse before it gets better. My thoughts go out to anyone and everyone involved.

I'm not an expert as you'll recall from my overheating incident! But as far as 2) goes, see Smithy's bit on tubing: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=219960&postcount=1

Coincidentally, here's a link to such a jet-engine project... http://www.powerlabs.org/turbine.htm

A collegue at work fell foul of the sh!te road conditions last week. Had a bit of lift-off oversteer on a curved bridge and went backwards through/over a chevron sign in his S2000. :headvswal Made a real mess of the rear bodywork and subframe- £8,500 worth of damage according to the workshop. At current prices you could get about 3 Zeds for that! Fortunately he stayed on the bridge, no-one was hurt and no-one else was involved. For those reasons, I feel it serves him right for getting a hairdresser's car! :rofl: But it could happen to anyone... take care on those roads chaps! Mark

LOL Almost had me going... not! :)

Seem to be more of them in Albuquerque than St Louis... :D Mon 13th Dec, 11am, Black, stock minus spoiler, heading south down San Mateo Blvd NE Mon 13th Dec, 1pm, White, stock, heading south crossing Menaul Blvd NE Tues 14th Dec, 7pm, Black, stock, parked in Garduños restaurant car park on Coors Blvd NW Mark

That's grim- they've just taken a can paint to the standard interior! Bleugh...

You were heading towards the station, about 5:15pm I think. I was heading away. nickz32 perhaps?

It's been a good week for Zeds in Farnborough! :D You were heading towards Farnborough, I was heading towards Aldershot.

Oops! ;) Mine's looking off-grey rather than black at the mo... :rolleyes:

Do a search on the forum for aerials. There's a few people who have installed stick-on things around the front windscreen, which seem to work quite well.

*But* if he doesn't sell as many tickets for the value of the car, he will give a "cash alternative" to the value of the tickets sold. Alledgedly...

(Forgive the back-track...) Wash your mouth out! :tongue: This may come as a surprise, but I didn't buy my Zed as a financial investment! I bought it because a) It's one of a few cars that give you big bang for small buck (maintenance aside) b) I happen to think it's the best looking and c) I'd always wanted one! :D Bit of a sweeping statement that, and I disagree. Sure Zed parts are expensive, but there are some GOOD specialists out there. It's not a no-brainer, simply a question of priorities :) Anyway, back on-topic, I'm certainly keeping mine for the foreseeable future.

You did a U-ey just outside Kingsmead as I was passing in mine. Much flashing and waving :D Bubbles- was it you? Twin zorst, but other than that I can't remember any other details! Got a memory like Swiss cheese me...

So... how about a forum pact- no-one is allowed to advertise their car for less than 7k?!

There's an interesting approach used in Australia (or there was when I went there a few years ago...)- many pubs have wall-mounted breathalizers. You pay a token amount (AU$1?) and blow into it, and it tells you how much alcohol is on your breath, and how much is legal. Now there are two *slightly* minus points- 1) People end up having a how-actually-drunk-can-you-get competition (ahem!) 2) The REAL worry is that people drink until they're safe according to the machine. As has been mentioned, actual numbers don't *necessarily* relate to how drunk a person is, and some people reckon it would lead to more drink-related accidents rather than less. Personally, I don't think the 2nd point would actually happen. Also, I wouldn't be against a similar thing being introduced here as if there is an actual legal level then what's the problem with people seeing if they're over it?

Mental! Looks like the engine was a bit of a squeeze...

Not seen that! Does it make you cringe, or is it just funny? Like kids who can't handle their booze?

I'm jealous! I've got to wait until Sunday for my throbbing kidneys :(

I see there a quite a few other people with nothing better to do on a Friday night then! :nono: Tried to organise going for a beer with mates in Ealing, but apathy got the better of us :rolleyes: Anything good on telly this evening?! Ho hum... Mark
