Rear adjustable camber arms question
On my set up( NA of course )I have adjustable top arms and adjustable rear arms(the long ones referred to commonly as toe arms) Then you can set rear camber and toe in/tracking. This was done without any issues. I didnt get the short front adjustable ones as they arent really necessary. Nice extra if you have them tho.

Ten Of The Best 300ZX V GTO Competition
And now we have 5............................... Cos i have just registered today. I will be helping Bob and everyone else get some points!! I wont be a threat to anyone else taking part as Im unlikely to run below the 14 sec mark and I have never so far had an ET in excess of 100mph on the quarter mile I have asked Noel to look at the car and see if he can wring a little more out of it.:yes: so who knows??? I will be interested to see what terminal speed I can achieve on the flying 1km. I was timed at 134mph at Bruntingthorpe on the main straight but it probably took me more than 1 KM to get there. I always see lots of bo***X on the internet about how fast(or not) a 300Zx can go.... but its always people talking about it on Autobahns etc where you can take 5 miles to build it up. Its a whole different issue when you only have a km and the timing is totally independent.... not someones mate on a GPS phone sat in the car!! Anyway it should inspire everyone else to try hard and practice cos it wont look good afterwards if any of you do get beaten by a pensioner driving an NA:lol: Now where are my Mickey Thompsons... I need to put some tyre softener on them:thumbup1:

Ferrybridge vs Coventry
Well you could do a poll???? Or a survey on the day?? I fear there wont be many. Only my JIB reg remains. I sold the red slicktop a long time ago. The next owner(from Coleshill area) used it for a good few years but I think it may have gone now

Wheel wobble under high speed braking
:thumbdown: You do realise I hope that your Zed is not supposed to be driven like that.... It should be parked up for rust and turbo repairs.:yes: Or you should be at home adding more Leds and taking your fog lights apart to paint them inside:whistling: Stop driving it..............................:lol:

Ferrybridge vs Coventry
And given that there has been a little outbreak of "dissent" etc recently its just a timely reminder that most of the members are happy most of the time.

Ferrybridge vs Coventry
The Coventry meet will be unique too in its own way. We will never have another 25th birthday!! There is no real suggestion on my part of one or other being "better" What was interesting about the Ferrybridge meet and subsequent mega convoy to "Escape" was how it just grew from an idea. For those newer members ...who wernt around then do a "Ferrybridge" search. There are a lot of threads and vids still available.

What did you do to your zed today?
I drove mine like I stole it all day round the Heritage loop at Donington. Did about 50 quids worth of fuel.

Ferrybridge vs Coventry
So with a potentially mega meet at Coventry I thought i might look back to the last time the club excelled itself?? So.... indulging in a little bit of reminising... Were you there?? Have you still got the car?? Etc Etc. There are a large number of historical threads about the Ferrybridge meet. Here is one......................... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?68110-Ferrybridge-today&highlight=Ferrybridge It was an unlikely setting but it seemed to catch the hearts and minds of a lot of members at the time. Feel the love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you do to your zed today?
Cheers Gary. Im taking the banner to Donington too. I might be the only Z32 there??? Pity I havent got any 300Zx.co.uk car stickers for it

What did you do to your zed today?
In a bid to avoid having the dirtiest scruffiest Z32 at Coventry I washed, mopped and polished mine today. I am also at Donington circuit this weekend for a Nissan event so it was time to have a banner erecting trial too !!!

JAPSHOW @ SANTAPOD 6th july
Im not able to run due to ongoing engine issues. Bobgenie is taking my ticket instead. He is already there today and hopefully will get some runs in.

Car hopefully back on the road tomorrow - MOT looming!
Not me!! The car was MOTd when I had it so never took it for one. Only the VIC check. Dont bother blaming me. I only put a cheap Motor factor one on to make the car road legal as the reg was coming off anyway. Blame Daffy ....... he smashed the original one:tt2:

good garage in north yorkshire?
Several people recently have traveled to Nottingham to have work done by forum member Mark Derby. They have all posted up good reports afterwards............... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?168270-What-did-you-do-to-your-zed-today&p=1821939#post1821939 Its always tricky on recomendations. Its one reason why the club doesnt get officially involved . i too use Mark and am very pleased with his work. However he is local and he is a forum friend too.....before anyone jumps up to mention it. Even more tricky for me as Im friendly with Mikey too. No doubt other will be along with further suggestions.

TT - N/A rear diff swap
You may well use a bit more fuel. Most of us who do mods like this dont really give a toss about economy. We just want to go faster:clap:

genuine 99spec front bumper
You certainly DONT want to buy that Nissan mesh. Bob made that mistake.. two years after fitting it was rusty... and Bobs car never goes anywhere. I replaced it with some powder coated ally mesh from Poland exactly Chris. Bumper + lights... job done.
