How can you tell when the pics were taken either ?

Yet again, just noticed its in Ireland so it will be re-registered over there i guess.

Not been taxed or MOT'd since June 2007 according to the DVLA. You can just make out the reg plate in the pictures even though its blurred.

18mm mdf for the worktop, went to b&q and picked up 3 huge sheets and got them to cut them in half. Worked out to give me 6x 610mm tops, used two for the work area and used the others for some custom shelves.

Internally my workbench storage units are built.

Some sort of stones, not decided yet.

Bit of demolition today, pulled the old hut down to make way for the new driveway.

Not even close, lol I forgot the seal on the knuckle was even there and i took a blow torch to the bushes to replace them and the heat burned the seal too.

Always pointing out the negatives and never the possatives. Positives to upgrading is : we get a full CMS package. Every subscribed member gets a full blog section rather than a thread to post there own builds up. Security on vBulletin5 has been rewritten and its apparently a better system. Members can be promoted to content editors and selected posts can be published to the front of the site. we could start doing automated paid banners or no banners depending on your membership. new sleaker design and we will launch the site as a owners club rather than a forum. the sooner we are reconised as a national club hopfully more insurance providers will join us.

Hi, Yes plans are in place and underway. We are looking at the overall picture rather than just sticking a front page in as there is many security issues we need to address if we were to add a static like page. For the moment a beta test site has been setup on an undisclosed top secret server (bets it shows up in google, lol) I've taken a copy of the current database and upgraded the full platform to vBulletin 5 in order to test. Now a few issues arise from this and there is many Pros but also Many Cons and some features we will loose and have to start from scratch again. vBulletin 5 has come along way since its release and the move if we proceed will not be easy so i'm taking my time. Listed below is a few issues that i can see straight up : Garage & Gallery module not compatable - will need to use vBullitins built in or find a new module that works. Thanks, Like, WTF module is beta for version 5 and we would need to buy the module again. Top banner module does not work in version 5 - need to use the new built in version. PM system is totally different and will take time to learn. Current Theme is also incompatable so as part of the rebrand we will also look different, hopefully not too much. Towards the testing phase we will open up the test site for logins to the subscribed member base and you can all test it out make some comments about how its setup. Last time we migrated to the new design we were forced to do a launch early so our ideas were not copied by opposition sites. This time i dont see any issues opening up the design prior to going live. Lee

Anyone know where to buy oil seals for the rear knuckles ? I've managed to damage the ones i had by overheating them when i used a blow torch to burn the old bushes out . I think the part number is 4325230P00 but i'm nut sure.

Mine is currently undergoing a hover conversion, :)

coincidence that one of his is getting picked up this weekend too then. Welcome back. :)

guessing youve just bought gazwoz last import ?

The outer area of the garage is now 90% coated in golden oak ronseal which look great. And there is just one small wall and the top panel to do to finish it off. Inside I've also done the same colour but I'm planning on some good lighting to brighten the whole place up. Lastly today I've started to install my workbench which is partly made out of the spare timber and some shelving units that I acquired about a week ago. Few design changes as I went along but came to a good design below and gave it a coat of the same paint.

Small update to my garage build as I've not updated the build for just under a month. After my leak I went round the full foundation and applied a very thick coat of sikaflex - leak solved. Also the add to the drainage solution I've installed a full guttering system at the rear of the garage and that takes all the waster water away. Never done guttering or drainage before but it was fairly fun doing it.

Its under review at the moment after a discussion at the AGM. It was discussed that the buying and selling forums should be exclusively locked to the subscription base. As they are the ones who help fund this club and we depend on the subscriptions to keep this site and club going. The subscription itself was also raised after the subject matter was discussed and the member base was in agreement. -- Over the years the club has moved to many features that used to be exclusive to the member base over to the public sections, because of this there is little or no incentive to pay the subscription any longer; if this continued the club and this site would be gone within a matter of years as the funds run out and the club can no longer pay its way. If registered users who are using the club site on a daily bases don't subscribe or renew then personally I think that shows there is no longer a willing to support the club so why should the club give away these facilities. We need to get away from the attitude that this is just a forum / website in the big pond of the internet. We are foremost a '300ZX Owners Club' with a fan base that is also active in the real world. There is lots of expenses that need taking care of aswell as running a website. Its also been discussed and a full breakdown of these yearly expenses will shortly be shown when registered users decide to subscribe so then everyone can see first hand where your hard earned cash is being spent. £20 renewal a year is not a lot and if a member shows up at any of the events then this value is given back 2 fold by what it provided on the day. Simplest thing any of the registered base can do is support your club and get subscribed. We plan a lot of changes over the coming months and the registered section will become only a taster for the subbed sections. All the best Lee

No way or easy way to do that i'm afraid.

Not a lot, The unregistered traffic that isn't an actual registered user is mainly bots. Tricky to pick out the real traffic from bots as they don't always identify themselves as search bots.

nope. lol

Likely two days before the next AGM, lol

Hi all, Many times it has been asked for a central place for all the events. Generally a new post gets created for each event which is fine for discussions but we have always had a calendar that's barely been used for anything but Birthdays. So I've moved it to the upper toolbar and renamed it Club 'Events'. Everyone is free to post an event that they know about in the new section but any posts from registered users will need to be moderated first. This is to prevent random accounts been created and the section being spammed. Once your event is approved it will show up as normal. This is now operational and I can see that Craig has managed to test it before this announcement. Regards Lee

This was her birthday present this morning. I got all the graphics redone on her bug after she had banged it a few months back.

This was previously a limitation on the database function rather than the forum software. Luckily I have found a workaround and managed to get it working. :)

No it won't, Although we could add two renewal option instead so that it will be optional IE 300zx Owners Club MemberShip Renewal (normal) 300zx Owners Club MemberShip Renewal (recurring)
