Slick Pete.

Ooops! Sorry to hear that. Looks like I already covered that option in another post:whistling: :lol::lol:

There is a 2 day Drag race meet at York Raceway this weekend. RWYB action available on both days. York has a friendly and well organized event normally although the track surface is not anywhere as slick as Santa Pod. I thought I might take a trip. Weatherwise Monday is looking drier ATM. Ideal practise for TOTB. Meanwhile its time to get the Mickey Thompsons outta the shed and give them a reviving coat or two.They havnt been used since TOTB last year:scared: I know with my low power I dont really need them and especially on the "Shell Grip" launch at York but they are good fun to use and can handle all the abuse I can throw at them.:yes: There isnt normally another 300 to be seen there but you are welcome to join me if you just want a fun day out.:thumbup1:

But will they get there before lunchtime on the Sunday?????:lol:

I have a pair of blue SWB door glasses available. Hatch back glass SWB LHS ONLY SWB rear quarter glass

SWB targas are smaller than LWB. Blue tint SWB glass is fairly rare in this country being mainly on ser 4 cars ie from 95 onwards. A few early series 1 cars in blue or silver paint may have had it.

There probably wont be many even on the day as most 300s are "in build" or broken down or their owners are to busy polishing them to have time to drive them:innocent: Not a problem for me .......I have just paid entry and track time.:clap: There will probably be the ability to book more time out on track on the day. Its an open format. Just queue up to go out when you are ready. Somebody has put an in car vid on the faceboook page. It looks like a tight n twisty little track They dont allow many cars out at a time so ideal for anyone thinking about a first time on track. Speeds dont look high either so you wont be embarrassed by cars overtaking you at warp speed 5!!! I look forward to catching up with you on the day Ian

YES Gary. FFS copy n paste it and make it a sticky:yes: We have a debate about this over and over again every year.:innocent: Im sure the rules in Southern Ireland are different

In the UK ANY car from Jul 95 onwards has to have a cat test regardless of whether its on the data base or not. Cars up to June 95 that are not on the database can have a non cat test I have a printed copy of an old thread on this very subject... I think it might have been by Paul C???

75mm and 5 point is more than enough for amateurs like us As you know from looking in my car at Japfest my 5 point is effectively 4 point as far a mounting points go. Think carefully about whether you want to go for a multipoint release buckle or a normal road type buckle. Doing up a race type buckle every time you drive anywhere is a royal pain hence my choice of conventonal road buckle.

Purple harness= gay!:whistling: So black is best. Seats??? black is best. When it comes to motorsport interiors black is best!:thumbup:

Back from a successful Japfest. Driver and car performing well:whistling: Lets do this one then. PM to discuss.

I have a good working auto box offered for sale on here. Not had any offers whatsoever on it..... even silly ones:whistling: Says it all really

Our track session is letter H which starts at 11:36 with a 10:30 briefing. Anyone wishing to take a passenger will have to buy a passenger ticket for £10 on the day. If you are going on track please read the rules on the Japfest website to avoid disappointment on the day. Get there early. jump in with me or anyone else with a spare seat. Free as ticket includes entry for up to 4 people Before that get in touch with 370zAD

Get a move on then!!:tt2: There are hardly any 300s on track anyway ... we cant afford to lose one due to a "no show":scared:

Thats an interesting looking event Ian. Looking at the track layouts and its more common use as a kart track it could be a useful practise venue/event for the handling course at TOTB Let me get Japfest outta the way first before i commit myself. Have you ever been to the venue?? Has anyone else?? Is it pretty narrow/twisty?? Can you pass other cars on track??

Sun 10th May. My buddy Steve came over and spent an hour or so making some minor adjustments to the mapping as I drove up and down the A610 and also slowly on a local indust estate. Some improvement in the Z1 throttle bodies and linkage meant that tickover and light throttle settings on take off and crawling in (simulated) traffic needed adjustment. The main power settings are all fine from the original power map that Noel did. Tues 12 May. My carbon fibre bonnet had lots of horrible white patches where the coating had oxidised. I wet flatted it all over with 600 grade and hit it with two coats of 2K laquer. Its not perfect but it looks 100% better than it was I think.. You can see by the reflections what a lovely sunny day its been here Just need to clean n polish tomorro and check fluids n pressure etc. Im looking forward to the event now.:clap: It will be interesting to see how many/few 300ZXs turn up:innocent: And more interesting to see how few actually get out on track?? Where are all the big build big bhp cars????

Good news!! What time is the session then??? Its not hard to find me either .... given my slicktop's colour scheme.:innocent:

You might do better on Zclub.net looking for parts etc as this is 99% a Z32 forum not a Z31 forum.. The Z31 has its own section on Zclub.net There are however a few members on here who own Z31s The facelift Z31 is fast becoming a very rare car in the UK . I wish you good luck in getting it restored back to full health. Put some pics up on here tho as generally we are a nice bunch of people with a love of most things automotive:thumbup1:

I will be exercising my right NOT to vote. In conjunction with around 1/3 of the eligible population. Its not apathy in my case (or Russell B) I simply dont want to be involved.

I have just been trying to help someone else with this.... Speaking to him a bit ago .....someone on another forum has come to the same answer as you. It is R200 based as he bought the diffs from me originally but not the output shafts. It all lives in a Scooby:thumbup1:

Although the 280Z is a fine car in its own right .... its not a 240Z . Being a LHD and US only model severely limits appeal here in the UK. There are probably less than 10 in the country. Naturally for the scandanavian market LHD is a useful feature:thumbup1: But like the 260Z it will alway be less desirable (and hence less valuable) than an equivalent spec/condition 240Z.

. Thank you for the kind thought also Si, but Im more than happy to talk on the phone.Its sometimes easier and quicker. .

Thank you for the thought but im perfectly happy for my number to be displayed publicly. its on all the adverts I have ever placed etc 07778 411568

LOL!!!:tt2: Thanks... I didnt think it was.

Anyone recognise this?
