Silly question but I take it you didn’t pinch an o ring or have damage to the insulation blocks that hold the rail did you?

Do you think it’s humor will translate to today’s audiences?

That’s a fair bit of material... definitely metal? Have a look in the intercoolers and see if anything is there. Don’t forget that the Turbos feed the opposing bank. You’ve got a compressor I assume. Do you know anyone with a leak down tester?

I brought a rad from them last year but yeah they have reduced thier range so to speak. Kinda seems mad that after all these years Zcetre still aren’t a sponsor. The likes of Z1 and CPZ as well.

Well they definitely have been here, done group buys etc. Same as Opie Oils. Also gone...

I wonder how larger proportion the current advertisers/sponsors raise towards the costs of the site? Obviously in the past there was money in the kitty, we all remember that buisness. Increased foot fall will help bring in advertisements. We’re have all the traders such as Japspeed gone?

Agree. Some sections of this cannot be replied to by non paying members, which is odd.

There were apparently two big turning points with FB, the change to the wall to target things relivant to you and the like button. Zukerberg was very apposed tobthat like button as he felt it would cause people to simply click without adding to content, the real reward of the like button was it’s ability to collect data about the clicker. Maybe the like button, nice as it is to click doesn’t work for this format?

And I’m not trying to argue. What can I do personally. Well I just made a suggestion of how there should be change to the way funding and membership privileges are done. Personally, personally all I can do is engage further. Historically I’ve done my share I’d say. I could pay my £10 and update my thread... don’t think that’s going to solve the problem though...

1. You can access this information without being a paid member, there are other huge Forums such as NICO, 300zxclub.com etc. It’s the biggest in the country but that’s the beauty of the internet, it’s global. 2. There are some great people on here, there are some not so great esp in times gone by. I’d say the club has lost as many kind and knowledgeable people as we have anything else. 3. There are a few shows each year, but participance is low, many shows the club have had no formal appearance this year in particular. Local meets no longer exist and if anyone tries to organise no one turns up. 4. Insurance in fairness is cheap anyway for these cars, compared to others and as many are finding out many specialty insurances are failing. Adrian Flux are very uncompetitive. 5. Matter of opinion really... 6. Can’t argue with that. I’m a member a few other clubs for different hobbies. This one is by far the most restrictive to members privileges. Most require a minimum time or post count to be able to sell. Here you can’t even edit your post, let alone post pictures without third party hosting... one is free, straight up for members, the other requires a one off token payment for security. I know membership is cheap but the cost is a perception issue. If you want a suggestion as to how to increase traffic and envolvement it’s to remove the membership cost, relying on other fundraising to maintain the forum. Open up the privileges, make the club THE place to find THAT part. The most successful thread on this site, What did you do... only paid up members can fully engage. An old question and valid point, what makes this a club and not just a website?

It may appear negative but it’s certainly nothing I’ve previously failed to express. Not only am I member of over 9 years, I’m also an REO that’s stood down for some of these reasons and has several owners near him that aren’t engaged in the club anymore for the reasons I point out. It’s an honest question, what benifit does the club give that cannot be gained else where. What’s the unique selling point?

Nothing new. The club continues to inhibit trade and full involvement for all but paying users. Facebook and the like offer higher foot fall and a more stream lined process. What can or does the club offer for a fee? That cannot be had for free elsewhere, in fact you’ve only got to look at the thriving marketplace in those other locations to see what’s going on. It became clear some years ago that the club was becoming merely a website, with ever decreasing numbers of these cars the club has suffered the same fate. Many don’t feel at home here anymore and as said gain nothing from membership, it’s virtually impossible to get a club meet together. The risk of becoming a clique rather than a club is a currrent and real threat.

Mid range at that vs a stock GT-R it doesn’t surprise me. I kept up with one some time back, it was definitely pulling away though. That said, I’ve had a go with one from a low speed roll and it absolutely destroyed me. It’s worth remembering they are just, if not more tunable than a Z32, plenty of 600+hp ones about and your not keeping up with that let alone the heavily modified ones... different league.

About 6” in the actual length of the car, which is less than it looks. Much bulkier though, they weigh the best part of 1.8 tonnes! Whilst they are more powerful, it’s actually only 50hp per tonne more powerful, stock v stock. Which just shows the impressive engineering that allows that tank to accelerate nearly twice as fast to 60.

Tbh mate, that front circlip is the worst part, bar none. Rebuilding the CHRA is actually pretty straight forward and doesn’t take long.

Interestingly I was listening to some Politicians on the radio a few months ago arguing over what Representative Democracy meant, some arguing that they were elected to represent the wishes of the constituents and some that they are there to represent the best interests of the people based on thier appointment as a learneded person. This is a problem as far as I’m concerned and just shows how some of them political establishment still believe that it’s pre 1918 and that the common person is not in charge.

There’s the inherent issue though Tony, for the UK it’s a trading partnership for the EU it’s building a community, a superstate. There’s an ideological miss match is what the plan is. There’s a reason we don’t have the Euro, aren’t in Schengan and have a few little opt outs. I wonder how many Brits actually want to see full co-operation and the State of England as apposed to the Nation.

I should add, that should a Landslide for a pro remain party be achieved and I mean landslide, where more than 50% of the nation voted for pro remain parties then that would change things. At that point the public should be asked again.

Fair comments but there’s more to consider in my opinion.Firstly Brexit isn’t just the result of the referendum. It’s the result of; A government in 2015 being elected with a majority and a manefesto to seek revision and if it could not be found to a satisfactory point a referendum. A referendum result of 52% to leave. The election of a subsequent government that supports the result, a minority admittedly by of those who voted the lions share, circa 80% went to parties, including Labour who pledged in thier manifesto up hold the result. Then of corse a representative democracy who’s parliament voted 6-1 to support the wishes of their constituents and the result of said referendum. Due to the changing face of British politics gaining 30% of the vote in a GE would see that party having a majority, this is a lower percentage than that held by Theresa May’s minority government and is why Boris is keen to drive an election and gain a majority (that’s the plan anyway) so effectively article 50 could be retracted and the whole process stopped by a 30% “majority”. At which point the concerns raised by those who are Eurosceptic, some of which may not even believe in leaving but rather reform will have achieved nothing. Personally I would say there is a larger percentage of Eurosceptics than Leavers as such. Simply painting those who do not share your world vision as far right extremists is both disingenuous and dangerous. Sadly there is an extreme version of this “Liberal Democracy” that believes that they are righteous and “progress” as they see it in thier direction is the only way forward.

Your memory on the topic is undoubtedly better than mine, I do seem to recall that originally membership of the EEC was not preferred by the left, as they were worried about its capitalist and federalist components and that it would actually degrade the quality of life for the working class. There mind was only swayed by reinforcement by the EEC that it’s real purpose was to create peace in Europe.

Whilst I don’t agree with the premise, that a second referdum is required I could understand the Liberal Democracts pushing that way. The notion that they would seek to retract article 50 and stop the U.K. leaving despite or without a vote, simply on a general election victory as stated by Ms Swinson is bonkers. When you seek to obstruct democracy because you know best and you have members who object to basic modern accepted morality such as homosexuality you really are left wondering where liberality or democracy come into it.

Centre to centre is about 100”s

You may recall I had a similar issue, where my passenger side rear wheel was further back than the drivers. In short it was down to the rear traction rod. I believe like me you’ve got full aftermarket arms? The toe and camber can be correct but the traction arm throws the wheel further back and alters the caster angle.

New core? And new wastegate actuator?

Will you have to pay tax on the Labour?
