  1. Lol I was thinking that - it does look proper bad in the photo!
  2. :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!
  3. 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!
  4. Do you run a zed business then Mark?
  5. 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
  6. thanks a lot mate
  7. 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
  8. Is this out in the shop yet or only via subs? Scan would be great if ok with silverbullet
  9. 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
  10. If anyone uses the new version of firefox (like me) you can get a Z32 persona (skin) for it here: http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/32027 Not sure i'll keep it... but a bit of fun for the moment
  11. Also, do you know of anywhere in the UK where you can get ab-flug or mission kit?
  12. Agreed... have them on mine, really good and seem to be fairly hard wearing
  13. Thanks a lot for the very helpful replies... now to think about how to import one :D
  14. Any ideas on what this front bumper is? Thanks a lot, tom.
  15. Too true, where is the sense in that?!?! Glad to hear your alright mate
  16. Give me a shout if you need a hand mate, I can't be too far away :)
  17. Looking good, welcome and good luck :)
  18. I'd love to but mine is on the drive on axle stands with the wheels off - starting waxyoyl today. Have a goodun
  19. 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
  20. Was good to meet some of you, sorry i had to leave early! Happy easter, tom
  21. Only about 25 miles away but I was at the curry house and didn't realise this was on till I got back!
  22. I went but didn't get there till 10.15 and there was no one there by then :(
  23. Hi thanks for all the reply. I know its the wrong side in the photo but its the only one I had to hand and they look the same both sides :)
  24. 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
  25. What time?
