Minor update....have'nt touched or seen her in nearly 3 weeks :cry: ...Until today :D Engine in (ish!)........ desperate to get her on the road now, have spent a fortune in bits and pieces ready to fit that are gathering dust in my office...and its only the beginning wish I had noticed that can when I was taking pic

no, not an engine out job. Basically requries removal of Radiator, Fan, Water pipes and Cam covers. Usually around the £400 mark from specialists, and should include : Cambelt Waterpump Rubber inlet hoses Thermostat Auxillery Belts

LOL, yeh I always carry a Hammer and stanley with me in case Im involved in or witness a accident :rolleyes: and the doors that lock with ignition also unlock in the event of an accident! THats fine if child is too young/old that it wont wriggle and fall/get out of its seat in the meantime, and even so its not exactly convenient. ok, not strangle, I was'nt being that litterate, but it does attack you

I cant see any advantages, and cant see how they can be any safer than on the B-pillar, they wont work any differently. Disadvantages- 1. If you crash and are unconcious rescuers can not open the door to help you ! 2. What if in an accident the door gets ripped off (yes it happens) 3. It makes putting a baby in a childseat in the front very difficult (have to do it through window) 4. You or passenger get strangled when somebody opens your door The Uk never got them on the doors and Japan moved them to the B-pillars in 1993. They were only ever put on the doors to meet some sort of regulation in the U.S regarding the way seatbelts should be designed so that you get in the car with the belt on, but the belts never worked that way properly and that regulation was soon dropped anyway.

Thor have a very good reputation and experience mapping for zeds.

What category insurance write of it is ? "C" or "D" is perfectly repairable for the road, anything worse than that It would have to have caused severe structual damage and weakness that would make not what to take it on the track !

Stock tubs are'nt T25's, they are TB22's which are Hybrids. They are slightly smaller then a T25 and have a 4 bolt pattern.

not skyline...GTR ! ;)

Love to know how they came up with that one. I know which I would prefer in a crash. :hurl: and they did it to a 99spec too :mac1:

4.2 litre Turbocharged V8 producing about the same power as a 6.0 Supercharged V8 ! Nearly a 2.0 litre difference, and superchargers and turbochargers are very comparable in outputs these days.

The thing is though, yes there is a lof of mininformation given on a forum, but with so many eyes readings it gets corrected quickly by others. However you get just as much ill-informed info given out at Meets, but usually with only a handfull of people listening who are much less likely to speak up for fear of confrontation. yes 300zx.co.uk is just a car forum, but it also has more events and meets than any other 300zx related UK club.

An A5 in black caught my eye yesterday, very nice!

:( Hope your ok Mark ? Sorry to see, it does'nt look that bad in pics, but Pics dont show everything, fingers crossed it in better shape than you first thought

Remove and dissassemble the headlights. Then clean the inside of glass and lenses. They build up a lot of dirt over the years and it makes a big difference on light output. Then fit a set of HID's.

Sorry to hear your standing down mike. :( I cant say Im suprised though, what with selling your Zed some time ago and not coming on here much anymore the loss of enthusiasm was obvious and this decision inevitable. Huge thanks for all your hard work over the years, its unlikely that anyone else not in the industry will understand whats involved in keeping a Busy site like this running. :bow: All the best, David

The car on autotrader is not a skyline, its the new GTR. Autotrader have incorrectly named it the new skyline, as Nissan have seperated the Skyline and GTR as two different models now.

Zed's will often run fine on regular unleaded, on stock boost....but you are at risk of Detonation which will kill your engine and if your not used to listening to it then its a risk. Optimax is safer, provides more power and gives better fuel economy. Ultimate is 97 Ron (same as super unleaded). There are a 7x BP stations that sell the 102 ron fuel but its something like £2.40 a litre and is designed for Track days and dyno runs.

Yes there are low ones. Do a search for Low racing trolley jack. There are lots on ebay, and there was a thread on here not that far back about them.

Simplest option would be to sell those Clocks and just get some Silver dials for your own clocks ?

Nope AEM and 555's make no difference, it should be 700-800rpm Clean the Idle control valve, but also check the TPS voltage is correct (around 0.42-0.44 v

Then you have Series 2 onwards controls, which does not have it. I did'nt think the S2 climate controls would have the Exernal Temp sensor....perhaps it requires it for the Climate control ECU. :confused: Can anyone with a Series 2 car confirm if they have the External Temp sensor behind the front bumper ? It sits on the drivers side near the horn, about 2cm x 2cm, black with cable running of it.

Except your alignment is all wrong...... which will have detremental affect on handling and tyre wear. You need Adjustble upper arms to correct camber when lowering, and you must fit adjustable tension rods when fitting adjustable upper arms becuase of the strain the adjustable arms put on the busings and arm. Plus as Paul C says, its nice to dial in some extra castor angle.

:(:( Sh*t, really sorry to see guys :( :cry: and glad your ok I hate to say it but that will almost certaintly be written off by your insurance co :(

becuase zclub haven't arranged it for us ? :x:
