:p I'll do the same when I've paid for the oven... having said that I'm sure its about 30 years old :/ Actually thinking about it... she always put stinky horse stuff in the motor... hmmmmm!

Ha ha! I plonked it on 190 and left it in there for 2 hours, turning occasionally! Although it did hit it on the oven twice when taking it out... i forgot how bloody hot it was but it didnt affect the primer - result!

The girls are away for a bit so my newly primed nose panel is straight in the oven. Once its painted it'll be back in there tomorrow! I wish I had a bigger oven so i could get the new tailgate (thanks Baz) in there! Do the ladies in your lives let you take over the house or are you restricted to the garage? or road? mine is gradually taking over the garden!!! Tom

Big brake advice
thanks a lot mate

Big brake advice
Sorry if this has been answered already - I tried the search but couldnt find a straight answer. So.... my brakes are shite. They heat up in about 2 mins. Also the pads start to rub on the disc on the front left side which makes the wheel knock really bad so its probably warped the disc. I cant decided if I should see if the calipers can be rebuilt or splash out (eventually) on some big brakes... the k sport 356mm 8 pot front and 330mm 6 pot rear look/sound quite good. So, my question is... if I went down the big brake route would I need to upgrade anything inside the motor (master cylinders etc) to power all the new pistons?? or is it literally a case of bolt on and rebleed. Sorry if there is any technical inaccuracies - I don't know much about how the braking system works, only the principles! and only have experience rebuilding hydraulic brakes on push bikes!! Thanks in advance, Tom

Your 300zx anecdotes
Hi All, I have to do a 3-5 min presentation on a subject of my choice for training for work tomorrow... so my natural choice was the 300zx! I was just wondering if anyone had any interesting/humorous facts or anecdotes to help me jazz it up and make it more interesting to the non-enthusiast. Thanks, Tom

TwinZ (peru) Rear bumper with diffuser
Id love a 2+2 one, although I would have to think really really hard about paying £850 quid for one! £500-£600 would be much nicer

ID my caliper?
Hi All, I haven't had the car that long and I need to rebuild my front offside brake caliper as according to my friend it has a lazy piston? I haven't had a proper look at the caliper yet and I'm assuming that it will have a number pressed on it somewhere, however, I was wondering if anyone could confirm whether or not it is a standard 300zx caliper just with a bigger adaptor and disc from this photo? Will be ordering a rebuild kit from biggred.co.uk for £30.00 unless there is anyone on here that sells them? Pic here; Thanks in advance
