Things are great mate, car is running a dream and is having some more winter love. I'm strapped for time but chipping away at things. This should bring you upto date; http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?186561-2017-Winter-Works

Russ is the king of autobox problems, too stubborn to go manual though. :lol:

I was getting worried about you my old fruit, glad your on the mend.

Loving the KFC sign Bri when did you get that?

I always thought your car was an NA, dunno why.

Give it another few weeks and the increase in fuel price will be a disaster, I can see the Gardian now "Brexit drives up fuel prices" totally ignoring the fact it was £1.50+ a litre not long back.

I spose arguably how long has, I won't call it true news but regulated news been a feature. Thinking back to even to the propoganda of the 50s (justified or not) the press is still pretty unregulated. Celebrity gossip for example is mostly fabricated tripe. Any one with two brain cells must source check and fact check the information provided really. There seems to have been a complacency that's developed where by the public except the papers publish facts and that the papers believe thier "facts" too.

And Fred Dineage.

Not one I'd normally drag up but is anyone else getting rather tired of certain media outlets, in particular the BBC and C4's obsession with so called fake news or the "post truth era" whatever the hell that is. They wang on like they are the only providers of truth, C4s tag line of "the home of real news" strikes my mind. It all ignores a simple fact, media, wether private or state funded exists for an adgenda, be that capital or capatol(see what I did there :D). Basically the facts have never stood in the way of the end game. That could be The Loch Ness Monster or the announcement that bacon makes you 300xs more likely to get cancer. Hazey facts and tortured stats are what media are all about. So maybe these lot need to get off there high horse. Maybe they need to realise we all already know they're full of BS half the time and we can see that the underlying intention is to save the neck of the printed press who are loosing to a growing didgital press. This is supposed to be a discussion, so no bashing people's ideas please. No attempts to turn it into some crazy hysterical conclusions. Thoughts anyone?

Happy returns mate, hope you've given yourself the day off.

Don't doubt it, also looked perfectly sensible picking the kids up from school. I'm only messing cos I'm anti hatch.

I just wouldn't part with money for a French car. :lol:

Says a lot when people are prepared to part with that kinda cash for would of been scrap a few years back.

I agree, although sadly our legal system isn't quite as good as we think. False conviction and inprisionment still happen. Look at American death row prisoners, there have been a number of innocents executed and that's why the process is now so long. Being 110% sure of guilt is pretty hard.

I thought you'd have it covered, a lot of people don't realise how these things vary.

I'm sure you've already factored this but your replacement bolts are the correct grade right? Think virtually all of them are 8.8.

I believe you sold a silver version s 99 to Gio.

That looks better. Quite like the wheels to, simple but effect.

£19k!

Oh definitely. Get smart or get rich. I ain't getting richer.

Dougals car was sold?

Trouble is those are not that common often pretty old and rather pricey for that gain. Stock; disc size 297x18 piston size 2x 38mm pad size 73x55mm Skyline; disc size 300x22 piston size 2x 40mm pad size 77x66mm The mentioned kit uses a 350mm disc and a caliper with 2x40mm pistons and a pad size of 77x66mm. Huge disc for heat and leverage, calipers itself is not very different to the skyline one but those calipers are extremely easy to find and cheap being used on evos 5-9. The only downside is the requirement of a bracket. If you've got the skyline/350 brembos or Evo ones mated to 320mm discs the skyline ones are probably pretty perfect if you can find them. The other larger ones are pretty beastly and are to compliment the larger Evo style fronts, with the 345mm discs. You will need big wheels to clear, 18" minimum.

Which version do you have? The 320 or 345mm fronts?

A few years later and what do you know :lol:
