  1. Right is right Si, but marching around with your red pen being a self righteous dousche is something quite different. I'm being general here rather than targeted, before any one person gets upset.
  2. I too dislike the American obsession with grammar and spelling. Language is fluid, slang is speach and linguistic development, deal with it. Plus the fact they can't spell colour anyway.
  3. It's easy peasey, get the paint warm and take your time. Don't jump steps slowly work the lip down. Plenty of guides on YouTube etc.
  4. I use the nattys wax. Good stuff. I also use a liquid sealer from OCDetail, pretty good. http://www.ocd-tail.co.uk/category/sealants-waxes
  5. No no Dan it had shed loads of anti squat. Have you driven the car since replacing the subframe mounting bushes?
  6. Dan the z32 doesn't have a light rear end. The weight distribution is near perfect on 2+2s and slightly a few % heavier on 2+0s. The reason for poor off the line traction relates back to a large amount of anti squat built into the rear subframe assembly and the oil filled bushes it floats on. Plenty of info on Google. Sorry to spam your thread Bob. I notice you said to Ali you have the NA rear end, do mean an actual NA rear end or NA ratio, r200 diff and axels or an r230 with leader gears?
  7. Thanks for sharing Andrew, nice simple engineering. I'm sure if anyone wanted a set Jimmer would be able to create a set.
  8. There's a lot more Z's full stop in Yanky land. Also I'm not sure if your aware but all US spec twin turbos were swb, and lwb were NA. Hence there thing out lwb's or 2+2s as they call them, it's almost a different car to them. Obviously UK spec were all lwb two turbo, when grey imports started a lot of people would of liked to pretend they paid full whack and had a UK spec car, a swb would should this up and explains maybe the lower numbers imported here. As for slick tops they were the cheap version, so at the time if you can have the full spec twin turbo Lwb auto for a good price why would you buy the poverty spec so to speak. History and the laws of supply and demand have changed this.
  9. It's only a spacer plate, no reason you can't adapt it to adjust for more. But I get what your saying. When I had a 25mm drop at front I had no correction at all and it was acceptable camber wise, so I'd say you could get away with more than a 20mm drop, 25 year old stock springs could sag nearly that much.
  10. This would be my suggestion, unless your going LOW or want to regularly change camber you don't really need adjustable upper arms.
  11. That sucks, hopefully an easy fix. We have had some very warm weather. Just keep me posted. - - - Updated - - - Magaluf? - - - Updated - - - So you did, my mistake.
  12. Cool, see you there. I'm not going to make a separate list for it because A I think it will confuse and B I expect a fair few will change their mind as and when they wake up late etc. I realise for some people an 8am arrival on a Sunday is pretty early, esp if your travelling from further a field. - - - Updated - - - You could still attend as a spectator Alice.
  13. OK go!
  14. Right this is the current list. As you can see theres quite a few people now attending from across the three clubs. All members must be on site and in positition at Beaulieu Motor Museum by 9.30am at the latest. For arrival arrangements there are two options. Please use the entrance marked "Simply Japanese Additional Entrance" this is on he other side of the village on B3054, the main entrance will NOT open until 9am. Either arrive casually and be parked up as it suits you before 9.30am. or There is a Rally point to catch up and join the convoy which will depart at 8.15am from The Applemore Tesco, the address for that is as follows; Sizer Way, Dibden, Southampton SO45 5JA If I could request those that do wish to be in this group are present for 8am as we will be leaving at 8.15am sharp, if your late and the convoy has left then I do apologise but we have alot of cars to get into the site, plese make your way to the showground. Im sure it doesnt need to be said but Tesco have never moaned at us using this as a collection point, the store is closed at this time but any anti social driving and behaviour could jeapordise this option in future. DONT be a plank. Equally as previously mentioned its a 40mph limit most of the way with livestock everywhere so please stick to this whilst were in convoy, the clubs dont need any unwarrented attention. I am still awaiting confirmation on these vechile club passes, I can only assume these will be generic print out affairs similar to what we did off our own back last year. Soon as I know I will inform you guys. Updated list; From 300zxclub 1. Stephen/Z32bolt 2. Andrew/AndrewG 3. Scott/sdriver73 4. Simon/Mondo 5. Gary/GSC60 6. Simon/Funkysi 7.

Bearface Here's to a great day out and if the weathers like this it will be fantastic. Any thing you guys need to ask or anyone ive forgotten to take off the list or put on just flag it up and I will amend things. Im out the country over the next few days after tomorrow so please give me a little time and patience getting back to you.
  15. First question, why do you NEED to change them?
  16. Darwin. The flat ones don't breed too well.
  17. I'm not intending on getting it but let's just consider two points, young people are actually going outside and socialising! Also the concept is pretty revolutionary, a video game that actually traces the real world and not only encourages but requires you to travel about and psyically do something. Purely from a technological point it's pretty awesome. I expect we will start to see more of this kinda tech, I expect lessons will be learned but it's interesting tech.
  18. If you go back to post #82 that should explain a few things. I'm going to sit down tonight on the laptop and sort out things out nice and clear as there seems to be some confusions. You guys can add to the rolling list by copying and pasting, however il update the main list tonight over the three clubs involved.
  19. I know mate, possibly being a bit flippant but I think you'd agree rot on or near a seatbelt mount is something that requires attention very quickly lol.
  20. Ah yeah I see it now. Anything like that don't hesitate to PM me, suggestions and events etc. I miss posts like that quite often. I'm busy guy.
  21. How we structure meets could be reviewed and it's something I've suggested before. Next meet on the banner for example. Implementing this though is a different matter. The trouble is as we all know virtually every meet you sort out falls on its face. Beaulieu is incredibly successful each year but mini meets not so much. Hopefully Howard's box hill run will be a success too. Two South central meets in cession months.
  22. Where was this posted? "Quote Originally Posted by NemesizX View Post If anyone has details for the beullie, can you forward them to me please as if I can attend, I will..(@Stephen)" All the info for Beaulieu is here, all six pages; http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?184419-Simply-japanese-2016!!!&highlight=Simply+Japanese
  23. Something I'm still umming and arring about. The weight loss and lower ratio seem great. However traction is already the limiting factor in acceleration unless conditions are perfect. I do think (especially considering I just refreshed the rear frame) that the input effort and cost won't be worth the real world gains. It's not like you can throw it on in 10 minutes and give it a bash. Plus the fact if I blow up an R230 I can pick one up for beer tokens, and I'd deserve a medal (there strong as ****) I gave my spare away, R200s cost a few quid.
  24. Firstly well done for sorting your ticket. The premeet is going to still happen but because of the format change there will be less of us taking part. I currently haven't been given any further information by Beaulieu in respect to these exhibitor passes, I can only assume they will be a generic print out affair, but confusing as they sell tickets on the day...I will have to start chasing them if I get no further information in the coming days.
