  3. :confused::confused::confused:
  4. This part of the forum is for EVENTS AND MEETINGS. Can registered users please stop posting other stuff here.:slap: And can fully subscribed members please stop adding to these type of posts. You should know better:rant: Maybe a moderator would move it to the appropriate section. IE Help n Advise or General Squabbling.:(
  5. The window motor only has 2 wires feeding it. +ve and -VE. You just need to run two wires from any car battery to these two feeding the motor. if it doesnt work one way round then just reverse the wires. Dont hold the live feed on for too long tho or you will burn out the motor. If this doesnt qwork then it will be the motor itself that is Fooked not the little black relay box.
  6. Machine Mart have a good middle of the road range under their "Professional Tool Programme " Not up to 365/24 use but plenty good enough for keen amateurs. my local store in Derby has a really helpful and knowledgable manager who has often guided me in what to buy and in many cases what not to buy.Plenty of choice and a good range of tool cabinets to keep it all in.
  7. Yep. Just two wires across the battery will do it.
  8. IMO. you need to stand back from your emotions and carefully examine every square inch of your shell. if your outer and inner sills need replacing then there is also the third inside reinforcing panel which will be rotten too. If you are even half thinking the floors need repacing then consider the fact that all your hidden box section structures will be even worse inside. Ie your chassis rails and the front rad support panel, also the inner lower rear arch sections. inside the double skinned rear arches. also inside the tailgate and doors. The 300ZX shell is extremely complex and no matter how much rust you cut out there will still be areas left, especially in triple seam areas etc. This will resurface to haunt you in the future without doubt. Also if your shell is as bad as you say then all your suspension members may well be corroded too. Going back to my original area of expertise the 240Z there is now no way that rusty UK 240Zs can successfully be restored. The only way forward is using virtually rust free Californian import shells and treansfering all the stuff over. I believe we are fast approaching this situation with many UK registered 300ZXs, and in this case the source of rust free shells is from Japan . i have a virtually immaculate Series 2 NA Man 2+2 whose future is in some doubt. You are welcome to have a look at it to see for yourself just how rust free these recent Jap imports really are. Im not really bothered about selling it as a rolling shell as I have an engine to replace the faulty one it came with but Im always open to offers. I have attached a couple of pics
  9. Looks like a p**s poor response in general Chris. Nick + Bro Me , Shel + you and Ed One table will be fine. You cant reserve tables at this pub but if we get there at 12.00 we can bag a table and draw up enough chairs.
  10. Looks like I had better alter mine then:cry: Same with yours Andy.:o And Sarahs too:x: and everyone else with Event banners:x: Steve burns. Madmarco etc
  11. Agreed 100%. How this club is run is down to the members. and perhaps we should make the distinction between members and registered users a little clearer.
  12. Especially in sparkly creamy white! :nelson:
  13. Sure is. ;) I do find it vaguely worrying that so many people on this forum/club simply cant see beyond a couple of stickers tho :confused:
  14. In that case just do one thing each day that costs and spend the rest of the walking/sitting about.Just soak up the atmosphere. Nobody has mentioned taking the River boat trip all the way up/down the Thames. This IMO is THE BEST "thing" available to do. The River Thames IS LONDON. gives you a wonderful perspective on the whole city. Its not of course so spectacular as the EYE thingy but it lasts much longer and you see more stuff close up.
  15. Just so David. ;) Full late UK spec car that appears to be in good unmolested order apart from a few Ferrari emblems that can soon be removed. Looks better than many Z32s I have seen with stupid spoilers and orrible cheap fibreglass front ends stuck on them.
  16. On holiday I think.

    well since I am there as a TRADER I better add my name to the list too :x:
  19. You need to clamp it in a big vise. Tightly... Put a ring spanner on the nut before clamping in the vise.
  20. Well not really IMO as already said it an NA auto. Worse ... its a 2+2 NA auto. Even worse its a white 2+2 NA auto :x:
  21. Series 4 has black/deep charcoal cloth/tweed with better design front seats. Ie Version S style.Like mine ;)
  22. Well lets look at some facts about the car. So far there have been lots of opinions and most of them relate to the driver not the car. i dont give two hoots how old you are or how much/little money you have. THE CAR. Its one of the earliest made and now showing signs of rust in the body. If you can see rust externally then there is FAR WORSE hidden in double skinned panels. Expensive to repair. Just been sprayed in the last 18 months and rust coming thru already!!! Not a good sign. Time to get that magnet out to look for filler I think. just deduct a minimum of £500 to rectify. Could be more unlikely to be less. The magnet will tell all. Needs four tyres 235 and 255 17s. That will be £400 off the asking price to start with. FORGET part worns. Those that arent from "accident damaged" UK cars are imported from Europe without any history so assume they have been thrashed mercilessly down the German autobahns. After all why did the original owner part with them if they were any good. Its already had one replacement engine. Not a great sign of a well maintained car. Replacement engine of unknown history and condition(unless your cousin has a written warranty on the engine which is still valid. I doubt it.) Rear Hicas steering faulty?? Well if it looks like there are problems then there deffo will be problems. Minimum figure of £400 to fix( new hicas eliminator, new end links, new end bushes etc) So deduct another £400 from asking. Its a non runner at the moment. Great!! I buy non runners for spares at £500 maximum. Non standard bumper ... and its damaged. Deduct £250 to cover cost of obtaining good s/h stock bumper and get it fitted/painted. Hand break u/s. probably means the rest of the brakes are similar MOT failure then. Non runner, no MOT , no road tax, no insurance. So nobody can test drive it to see what else is wrong can they.Gearbox?? clutch??? Turbos??? Prop vibration, diff whine etc etc Im always willing to look/ drive cars and give an opinion but not ones that are illegal to drive. If the seller gets it legal to drive then I will come and have a look. No point otherwise cos as has already been said in its present condition its a SPARES/REPAIRS project car. Im off to Spain on Monday for a bit. You can get me on 07778 411568 before I go if you want to discuss. Lastly.... a personal opinion. .... SWB TT Manual in black??? Yes ... very nice... G reg?? ... bit old for my liking But never mind. In good allround fully working MOTd taxed condition... PRICE £3500 MAX
  23. Yes we did... and thats the date we are meeting. Wot I meant was alter the date from JAN06 :headvswal ya thick sod :D :D :D
  24. Here ya go ......{.Quote } Right then guys n gals. Im proposing we have a return visit to the Travellers Rest at Arnold on the Outskirts of Nottingham. We were there in Jan 06 and I thought it was OK The Travellers Rest. Mapperley Plains. Nottingham. NG3 5RT This is a popular pub for lunch so we need to be there for 12.00 when it opens to get inside and get tables.{end quote.} All we need to do is alter that date! LOL!! Im off on hols to Sunny(I hope!) Spain but will be back in time.... so crack on and get it sorted :rant:
  25. Indeed ! Its not a problem at all. we did it before for a bit and we can do the same again now. As Nick says... just look after yourself etc for now.
