can we get back on topic now?

Happy getting drunk day :lol: i expect words i can not understand by the end of the day.

Sounds about right lol

no, this is between you and the committee / groover our TLO, you have been given an option, it is now down to you, i see no reason why this should be aired on the forum when it is already being looked into between you and groover.

Happy birthday matey, hope you have a good one :D

First of all, You are splitting 3 cars not one, at the same time, something i see no one else doing except zedworld who paid the traders fee, if you wish to sell 2 cars and break one, then fine you may sell parts on the forum from the one car. Second, the trader we are on about is JeffTT, he runs zedworld, and has paid a traders fee to supply parts to the forum with warranty from stripping multiple zeds, jeff already has to compete with individuals stripping single zeds, let along one person with 3 zeds. You honestly think its fair for him to pay £100 to strip multiple zeds, yet you can pay subscribers fee which is substantially less and do the same with 3 cars? Third, Baz is splitting one zed, we have had words with baz in the past, why you have brought baz in to this is beyond me but you are the only one to mention him so far. Forth if you are talking to groover, then why are you constantly bring it up on the open forum to fight your corner, you are doing your self no favours, we have given you the tools and means to sort this out via our TLO, you still have every right to strip and sell the parts on ebay / gumtree, but for now not on the forums until we have gone over your case. We are taking this stance because we can not clarify with any degree of certainty that what you say is true, we take things on face value as we have too when dealing with people on a forum, especially someone splitting 3 zeds at the same time and using an ebay name similer to a trader in jap car parts. We have set rules in place, we are adhering to those rules, like you should. I have given you the reasons we are taking this stance yet you have continued to ignore them and continually persisted in trying to fight your corner on the open forum, when we have already stated that you should sort this out with groover or a member of the committee (dark blue names in bold), but instead you have derailed another members thread for your own purpose. Continuing to argue this instead of going through the proper channels as has been given too you, will result in a 7 day ban, take this as a warning. we have actually been quite lenient with you, most people we suspect of back door trading, end up with a ban first and have to sort this out via email. you need to stop posting about this and come to some sort of agreement with groover / committee. You also need to understand others are not getting preferential treatment, they are actually following the rules and only splitting one zed not multiples. Gonzo You are stripping one car, go ahead.

its all a learning process matey, the image shows the correct look for the nozzle, DOT nozzles just look like deodorant nozzles lol

Ill break this down. you have a ebay page with 2 zeds that are clearly different being broken, one is a gray 91, the other a silver 92 (the one we pulled off the forum) there was also another post of a 3rd zed to generate interest as you are thinking about breaking that also (red zed). That will be 3 zeds being broken, granted you have only advertised one zed on the forum that you are definitely break, but you then went on to start an interests thread with a second one less than a month after posting the first one, which actually prompted us to look further into this and discover you had a 3rd zed being broken (even though you have stated in the above reply you only have 1 zed being broken), if you wish to break all 3 zeds off the forum and sell by other means go for it, what we draw the line at, is you now have multiple 300zx's fit for the same purpose of being broken. using this forum to sell the parts and stepping on the toes of our trader who has paid decent money to trade second hand car parts to our members, 3 cars from one person IS going to be classed as trading, we have pulled other members up on this before in the past and not just on zeds being broken. You go on to say about space being a factor yet have brought 3 cars to salvage parts from, and then break when you could of just brought those very parts off our registered trader with out paying substantially more for a whole car plus had the benefit of having more space, and a warranty, can you see how this doesnt make sense and why we are questioning it? In one of your replies you even state about average joe making ends meet, average joe doesnt buy 3 zeds to make one whole one if he is trying to make ends meet, he buys a fully working zed with the money he paid for 4 zeds with, most people break zeds to recoup the costs of the parts they have spent over the course of a few years owning it, when things finally snap they have either had enough of the car, or they had an accident and now want shot of it. buying 3 cars knowing you only need specific things then breaking them is classed as trading. The other thing is, we can not prove or disprove what you have said, we are only working on the fact you have 3 extra zeds of which at present 2 are being broken for parts with a 3rd waiting in the wings. This goes against what any normal person would be doing hence why we are questioning it, we understand that you wish to keep at least one zed, and we hope that isnt in question, but we have a specialist second hand parts supplier and have had quite a few other people breaking there own zeds (not multiple zeds but one) that again you could of chosen too acquired the parts for your car from, we have even had 2 people breaking SWB 300zx's recently for any of your SWB parts which would of suited you more than 3 LWB cars. Im sorry you feel like you are being targeted, but we have genuine concerns that your motives differ to what we are actually seeing with the reasons you have given, im sure you can understand how it looks to us and why we are taking the steps we are, i also know that groover has given you clear instructions on how to resolve this issue, may be an idea to talk with groover to resolve this.

ive tried, the only cans they can go on are ones with out the sticky up bit on them lol, hard to say hope that makes sense

Its all in the nozzle bud, spray cans that give a DOT spray are rubbish, you want a fan pattern as shown in this image

i did my 99spec front bumper using 3 cans of colour spray 3 cans of lacquer, and that came out great, nothing wrong with using mixed cans of spray from halfords, its the lacquer that offers the protection, if it gets through the lacquer doesnt matter what spray you used for the colour its going to take damage eventually Halfords can spray the colour if they have the paint code on there system, ive had nissan diamond black mixed (the spoiler at the top), bay-side blue mixed and also AH3 (nissan cherry red) for my 99spec front bumper and 89spec spoiler, all have come out near perfect matches. rear 89 spec spoiler, sprayed with halfords AH3 before lacquer front 99spec bumper sprayed with halfords AH3

can spraying is easy, it is more dependent on what nozzle is on the end of the can, halfords supply the best paint nozzle it sprays in a Fan spread, unlike ones you pick off the shelf, that have a DOT spread, which causes runs. First sand down the area to be sprayed, then use water to clean it, make sure its clean and dry before you start, spray the undercoat on (might be best to use gray undercoat, red undercoat might make the red too red. With the normal colour, just do one layer at a time, doesnt matter if it doesnt cover it completely, and resist the urge to make sure one coat is covering it as you will get paint run, wait for it to dry (should be around 10mins or so with halfords mixed spray) then do another coat, carry on like that hold the can a good 4inches away from the area to be sprayed, carry on until everything is covered evenly, then use 2k lacquer not the stuff off the shelf in halfords, get some decent 2k lacquer off eBay and a (carbon filter) mask and gloves (needed for 2k lacquer) this gives the high shine you see on normal cars. here is a picture of my 99spec i sprayed last week. using the same technique

best thing to do, is go halfords, they do really good colour mixes at the paint desk, they will do it in a can that is easy to use, ask them to mix you a 300ml Can of nissan AG2 paint code, they will have the code on their computer with the correct mix, they will mix it in-front of you, it will look slightly different or there abouts, as its wet paint and just mixed, but try it on a inconspicuous part of the car (i found the best place, was under the bonnet lining as you can hide it once finished) once its dry see if it matches the rest of the bonnet, bet you will be pleasantly surprised.

Its just AG2 or Nissan Aztec red matey.

Everyone has the same rights, the right to abide by the club rules, Everyone accepts them when they sign up , we have incentives for people to go from registered users to paid up members, to traders. There is a reason we have set traders, and protect those traders where possible, they have a vested interest in the club by becoming traders and we in turn have to respect that, as should our members. There are other avenues for the average joe who needs to stay on the breadline, trying to flaunt the rules is not one of those avenues, as it treads on the toes of those who have paid and invested interest in supplying our members with services that usually provide a secure way of dealing with a genuine business. this way we can monitor and protect our members.

Ive got a 3gs, 4 and a S2, and i have to say im unimpressed with the build quality of the S2 over the 4, its bloody horrible, even taking the battery cover off, makes me feel like i might break the damn thing. plus when you factor in you can now get a Chinese copy of S3, for little more than 140 with the same specs as the S2 (apart from screen) makes you wonder how they can charge so much for something made so cheaply. the iphone might be made cheap and sold for more, but the build quality is 1000x better. (sorry to all the Galaxy fans out there)

how much can you get a knacked S2 for with perfect working screen ? lol

those are used prices at the lower end of the spectrum, may have slight scuffs ect: brand new not used in box, with all accessories that it comes with, id say between 340 and 400 realistically at the higher end. and i know it would sell for that.

I think i qualify for being an Enthusiast, im on my 7th one, last one is being broken as its a Cat C write off and was causing me way too much hassle.

wouldn't fit me im a 36 waist, love the bad feedback on low cost items from power sellers "item wasn't good quality, Sounds horrible avoid like the plague" = item in ear headphones, cost of item £0.99p lol

just check ebay matey lol

Sounds more like maf, does it rev freely past 4k on idle? Is there any paper work to back up the 500hp claims, we have all heard them but it costs a lot to get to that stage, do you know what mods its got?

dunno why matey, people strip for genuine reasons, its people constantly buying a zed just to dismantle it with no intentions of fixing it and selling as whole, or buying a decent zed and dismantling it as well when not owning it for even long enough to get the V5 through the post, just because they see an easy way to get some cash. Problem is, its such a rare car, when that happens the market gets saturated with parts, so makes it hard to shift as its such a small market. hence why we have to protect our own trader who has spent cash out of his own pocket to offer parts for sale on a regular basis. People stripping cars because they are at their tether with it, they have plowed enough money into it they are trying to recoup costs, is totally different.

haha what size ? bet i wouldnt fit in to those buggers. im too fat.

be pointless with such a new phone, wouldn't get any where near its correct value, thought id see for a iphone 4 at the time before the 4s came out as a giggle, 150 was all they offered and that was for a boxed, min condition phone that was selling else where for over 400 lol
