If its the underside of the car thats being done then you want body schutz, stone chip guard or underseal, but treat any rust first. ideally you want to remove any rust then paint the bare metal with a good quality rust preventative paint before applying the final layer of protection. If its enclosed areas like sills or other box sections then its a cavity wax you are looking for. As has already been said I would steer clear of Waxoyl. Bilt Hamber, Dinatrol and Rust Bullet are the recommended ones as far as I can tell. Best thing to do is to do a search of some of the classic car forums, plenty of tips advice and recommendations.

hmmmm never thought on the hols...... For the small fee of a zinger meal I may be persuaded to adjust the date :D

Well as the Jedburgh event failed to happen, how's about a mini mid week meet at the usual location. Livi KFC! Thursday 22nd. Before I park the car up for the winter.

You wont be off the boost much between John O Groats and Laxford Bridge. Its a great run, but mainly single track and you will constantly be up and down the gears. Ive done it a few times now, but never in the Z. Fill up in Inverness, top up in Wick then hopefully you can get back down to Ullapool for a small top up before heading back to Inverness. The cost shouldnt be too bad then!, Just dont fill up at any of the small local filling stations or you will have to leave one of your kidneys with them. The roads from Laxford Bridge South will leave a huge smile on your face. Once you hit Inverness it's either the A9 south the quick way (but a few speed cameras, and unmarked cars), I would recommend the A82 down the side of Lochness and onto Fort William and Glencoe. TBH If you are tied to a week its going to be rushed especially if you want to do Edinburgh and Glasgow. You could easily spend a week or two touring the North and North West Coasts. I love the area and used to go up once or twice a year touring and camping. If It was summer (as you are going to John O Groats) I would highly recommend the trip over to Orkney with the bus tour. but the sea was bad enough when I went over a couple of Augusts ago so I dont think they will do it in October November.

Once they come down a bit in price ive promised myself an estate one as a daily runner :D They remind me of the Anthill mob

Car looks ace, nice colour and love the front splitter. Not keen on the nose panel and badge though

Black NA, Grahams Rd Falkirk mid day today. Pablo was that you? I was in the white Z heading towards the town centre.

Welcome, and hope you get the car sorted out soon!

:rofl:

Have you seen this on Ebay, bud http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Engine-Gearbox_W0QQitemZ270467803322QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3ef92328ba&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 what age is your one?

:x:

To trade I'm a PSV/HGV mechanic. Now? I aint saying, far to many HGV drivers and MOT testers on here :)

Personally I think better without, but then if you shifted them to cover up the front bumper that would look soooooo much better! ;)

lol :rofl: but I aint reached 50 yet.....an wtf are you doing on here on your birthday... you should be out drowning your sorrows...its another year nearer meeting your maker :D

Happy birthday Andy!

Happy birthday Andy! the big 50 is it :smw:

Looks like none of us are playing! the Jedburgh meet has been called of now, the NW guy's arent coming. It was only turb0z left, a long run to come on his own. If you still want to head out Andy I'm still up for a run.

For those making your own way, here is a link of the location shamelessly pinched from turb0z post. Is it just me and Andy heading down from the north then? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Forton,+Forton+Services+(N-bound)&daddr=B6358%2FCanongate+to:Unknown+road&geocode=FXJiNwMdKt3V_yGt3TtGAJGNzQ%3BFWCFTgMdpArZ_w%3BFXGETgMdtQrZ_w&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=55.477084,-2.553501&sspn=0.001508,0.004801&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=8

Sure look dangerous! But I bet CrashCourse could still take them ;) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=131292

Thats cause she had planned on you taking her shopping and buying stuff, lucky escape for you then :)

Ahhhh translated as "youve broke it again" :). Ok bud, see you at some point next year then

Cheers, was it Canongate that you met up when you were there last?

I realise you guy's will have a longer journey than most of the Scottish lads, are you all ok for a 12:00 - 12:30 meet at Jedburgh?

It's quiet in here :D. No one coming out to play next week then?

Ok guys, who's still going so we can arrange to meet up. Probably looking to be in Jedburgh around 12:00 to 12:30. That will mean if we are meeting up in the Edinburgh area it will need to be around 10:00.
