I am getting concerned about you Jimmy, first eating baby food, now riding toddler cars....whatever next....? ;)

I have had my auto for 4 years now and have been really happy with it. It is one of the smoothest autos I have driven and to date have had no problems with it (touch wood). I am aware that the majority of the forum favour the manual 300zx over the auto, but what I would like to know is: Does anyone that has done the conversion regretted changing ?

Didn't realise Mugabe was a mod ?? :x:

That's good as I have all those (except the strut braces) and I have already noticed a big difference in the handling. So getting new anti rolls bars will make it even better :)

Could be time for an anti roll bar group buy !!! The last one was in May 2006 for the Whiteline ones for £190 Stillen is currently selling their (fully adjustable) version for US$277.76. http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=STISWAY01&c=SU&year=1990&make=NISSAN&model=300ZX I know Dan at DTA is a Stillen reseller and have asked for a price, though if we can do a group buy, it would be cheaper (hopefully)

Did it harden up the ride a lot ?

Would I be right in thinking that if I swap my Jap TT ati roll bar for either a UK TT one or the whiteline one it will stop this....(see pic) ?

Mental note to self - stop at 149mph !!! :D

I've got the gold R34 Brembos - only have a pic from their previous home... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=91703&referrerid=4456

He fixes your car and supplies the stella ? :D

Lol @ swear filter !!!

I would love to at some point, but at the moment I don't have the spare time to devote to it. :(

So you have well and truly got the falconry bug !!!

Very nice Saker there Iain. How many birds have you got now ?

Many Happy Returns Danny

Don't have a date yet - I need 7 people to confirm they are interested to get that price - as it is a "car club" rate.

A friend of mine on the Lancer Register recently took part in a performance driver track day at the Millbrook Proving Ground. I was wondering if anyone from the forum would have any interest in doing this ? The basic details are as follows: The day is a fast moving experience for 8 owners and their cars to introduce the secrets of performance driving. It is designed to be informative, exciting and fun. The group size is purposefully kept small so that the maximum can be obtained from the day in a highly personalised environment. There is access to the 5 unique circuits at the renowned Millbrook Proving Ground, a venue that is not normally accessible for ‘track days’ and the general public. Activities designed for the different circuits are: • Learn ‘threshold’ braking from 100+mph on the ‘Mile Straight’ • High speed driving, potentially to the maximum of your car, on the banked circuit of the ‘High Speed Bowl’ • Drive the demanding ‘Alpine Route’ circuit with its hills, and variety of corners from hairpins to long and sweeping • Take on the tight, twisty and challenging ‘Handling Circuit’ • Put a car through its paces on the wide open spaces of the ‘Steering Pad’ An instructor will accompany you on all the circuits, and the objective is to teach you how to get the best from your car and develop your performance driving skills in a controlled environment and at a pace you are comfortable with. Short presentations in vehicle dynamics will help you to understand the relationship between driver input and vehicle balance and control. From this comes the appreciation of how to safely drive your vehicle at ‘grip limit’ within the controlled confines of a track environment. At the end of the day, your new found skills can be put to the test in a timed ‘shoot out’ around a gymkhana-style course laid out on the ‘Steering Pad’. This will be conducted in a track prepared car (normally a Subaru Impreza or a Caterham 7). Included in the day are: • Professional in car tuition • Access to 5 unique circuits at Millbrook Proving Ground • Mechanical support from a professional race engineer • Lunch and refreshments during the day • Timed end of day ‘shoot out’ in a track prepared car • Full emergency services on hand all day • 1½ hours driving time with your personal instructor Price £345 per person I appreciate it is not cheap, but my friend said it was definately worth the money and he learnt a lot about the limits of the car and improving his driving skills. As it says above there are only 8 places, so if there is enough interest I will look into making a booking. Cheers Jeremy

Fourth pic down on the right... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/virals/article906712.ece

It was sent to me by my wife who saw it in the Sun online yesterday. She sent it because it looks like one of our cats. She didn't realise it was a Zed !!

I think it is - it was in the "Currant Bun". Couldn't believe it was a Zed !

As per title...

Quite right too - I am very pleased with my auto...

How long do you reckon until it is done ?

Many Happy Returns !!

Thanks guys !!
