Is the Barby still on?? the weather is meant to be great this weekend!!! I`m still a maybee but more of maybe than before,lol Can someone please pm me the barby address and i will let you know if i can make it later on in the week CheerZ Daz.

Excellent, love the cheer at the end, lol, videos always make things look a lot slower, but I can tell you were ragging it, nice one

The top one is worth watching from the beginning as its really a build up to the 300zx, well worth a watch mate, its only on for about 11 mins but the actual 300zx is on at 10 mins

I`m sure some of you have seen this video a fair few times, but I thought i would start another thread to see how many videos we could get together with all the old top gears and other car shows which the 300zx starred in, please post away as I`m eager to find plenty, One particular one I`ve seen but cant find is one with Steve Berry testing a 300zx vert sometime in the 90`s http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=2170880578449028520&q#

Was that the one tested on Top gear many moons ago? it was test driven by Steve berry?? I think that was his name?

lol, Nice one, shame you got wasted by an american jelly mould :tt2: Do you have more footage? I love watching things like that

anyway it`s getting a good read this thread, I will start the test next week sometime and see what happens, thanks for all the expert input, you bunch of smartasses :winkiss:

My z31 is growing on me again, I go through stage`s of hating it then loving it, Its wierd, but they are sh!t to drive, a big spongey marshmellow :devil:

Ohh, yes please :wink:

no:tt2: why do you want one? :winkiss:

hey ! ,He`s dropped the price!!! some one buy it

Thanks for the ideas lads, some interesting thoughts going on, and thats why i started this thread as I knew it wasnt just a matter of slamming the foot hard down. Another thought i had was to take it to an mot station and complete a few tests there? would there machines be able to register some results?

,,,,,,,

done, I think? will ring him 2morra bud!! just waiting for your addy to post back them back out to you, I sent a pm asking for it, I just assumed you were still in Germany and not bothered Daz :cool3:

yeh,I thought about going 70/80, probably have to do that at night/early morning how long do ya reckon it takes to bed the brakes in properly?

bloody hell ,have you not fitted them yet?:laugh: I thought you fitted yours ages ago. But deffo going to do the test, will be very interesting

Weekend toy for me, but I try and use it whenever I can on nice day/evening, deffo dont use it for work, dirty van for that job

Just for research purposes, I`m going to attempt a brake test from stock to uprated, only on my vert but it should shed some light on how much better/worse the upgraded set up should be....so at the moment I have good stock brakes on all 4 corners and next week I will have evo8 Brembos with grooved and drilled disc`s on the front and grooved/drilled discs and red stuff pads on the rear stock calipers..Oh, and all new braded hoses too So my test will involve braking hard from 30 and 50 mph and see how long in seconds it takes to stop and the distance travelled, I would like to do some sort of brake fade test aswell, not sure how to do an accurate test on this without doing a track day, any ideas on more tests i could do whilst im playing? Daz

There`s only one way to settle this.......... RACE!!!!!! :biggrin:

Nice turn out!!! you Scotts like the different colour body panel`s dont ya?? did you all wear kilts too? lol
