  1. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=70718 Its two threads above this one in the same section.:thumbup1: Click....... Send......Job done. THEN you can sell stuff. and PM me to thank me for pointing you in the right direction.:rockon: And you can PM all the other Subscribed members.
  2. yep they are steel. Nissan usualy put a Yellow passivate coating on them. Once you go thru that(in the first rub with paper ) you are on to fresh steel which will rust as soon as it gets damp. They need to be ....... chromed. powder coated or just painted to protect them.
  3. agreed !! They will be even better IF you put the correct size tyre/profile combo on them...... Front 245/40-18.....653 mm diameter Rear 265/35-18.....643 mm diameter. Difference 10mm. or 1.53%... well within recomended limits Even closer... Front 235/40-18....645 mm diam 2mm or 0.13% difference:sailor:
  4. As an experienced and successful landlord I have to say that is a pretty good summary of how it works. i might just add..... Forget all about VAT. The threshold for registering is around £73000. im sure the rent isnt that much... even in London! Forget about running an "incorporated " business. The costs of operating it will outweigh any possible tax savings on a small portfolio of property. You dont even need to set up any "business" of any type really. You can just fill in the details on the full version of your tax return. There are specific pages relating to "income from property". Both "UK" and "foreign". And finally........ For a first attempt by a complete newbie I would suggest using a well established letting Agent. Yes they will charge but they could save a lot of aggro. Once you gain confidence about the whole process you can ditch the agent and go it alone. And in a similar mode to Richard... get in touch if you want to discuss.:cool2:
  5. no mate. Im not. Tenant is known to me through work. The house is as new everywhere now and is in the "right" location so I could probably let it out several times over. some of the agents round here are running "wanted" adverts for houses on this estate.
  6. Well its a little late on the estimate. taken 3 months instead of 2. But I did clear off to Spain for a holiday in late september. I have also completely re done the garden and fences, not in original schedule. Its all done now tho .... and not a day too soon. my prospective tenants have just called to confirm they are moving in on Friday and are bringing me the rent and deposit tomorrow. I need to go through the invoices and cash spent . I think Im on budget but it may have run over by a small bit.:whistling: Will try and get some pics for you I need another one now:ohmy:
  7. http://www.speedyreg.co.uk/cheap-registration-plates-O#data dozens of similar plates available on their site.
  8. Happy Birthday mate:happybday: there is something in the post for you:sneaky2:
  9. well obviously someone has gone along to view it. Taken some money and bought it. The seller has then ended the auction...... making a farce once again out of Ebay "Auctions"
  10. Are you bidding on it then???
  11. It will be worth different amounts to different people..... "Worth" is not a single absolute figure. eg To the seller it will be worth what someone will pay him in the next 5days. eg. It will be worth more to a buyer who has a good skillset to repair it than it will be to someone who will need to employ a third party to fix it. I would give a grand max for it cos I would need to transport it 175 odd miles to Nottingham.
  12. you can get brand new phones from Carphone warehouse for a tenner. I have just bought one. guy set it up with my sim in it while I waited. Bargain. and first rate Service.
  13. You need to speak to Brian... forum name Znut. He is the clubs trader liason officer.
  14. Get a new uprated rad. They are now pretty cheap...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-TURBO-HIGH-FLOW-RACING-RADIATOR-52MM-CORE-/140561698697?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20ba214f89
  15. Yep. reaction times are not included in the elapsed time. ET. on RWYB or Test n tune days as they are test events not licenced races. However when a Race event is held under a race licence then first past the post is the winner. So both reaction time and ET are important. Commonly known as head to head racing.
  16. Post 2 for contact details:whistling:
  17. yes there is almost certainly a picture or two somewhere. i relocated the sensor a bit further round the header. Gaz/Hellraiser put his in the decat pipe. Most of the manifolds foul on the steering as mentioned. The birmingham screwdriver will fix that issue. Crude and it does reduce the pipe diam a little.
  18. Picture the "Strip" .... its only 1320 feet long. So if you are 1 sec or 165 feet behind when the guy in front crosses the line... you have been "left for dead" in reality.:scooter:
  19. SIX days to clear a parcel....... This is a parcel from the US. It was sent USPS cos its fairly cheap in a flat rate box. It would be quite speedy too if it wasnt for the jobsworths at HM Customs taking six days to clear it. Then the plonkers at Parcel Farce take over. Withholding the item(illegally) and writing to tell me how much to pay..... FFS I ordered the stuff electronically why dont Parcel Farce E-mail me their charges......:censored: Scan History Date Time Location Status September 05, 2011 11:40 pm Payment of charges - Item being held, addressee being notified September 05, 2011 8:45 pm Arrival at Post Office September 05, 2011 2:57 am Customs clearance processing complete August 30, 2011 6:04 pm Customs Clearance August 30, 2011 6:03 pm Customs Clearance August 30, 2011 5:56 pm Processed Through Sort Facility August 26, 2011 9:28 am FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099, Processed Through Sort Facility August 26, 2011 8:40 am FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099, Arrived at Sort Facility August 26, 2011 5:47 am KEARNY, NJ 07032 Processed through Sort Facility August 25, 2011 Electronic Shipping Info Received RANT OVER.
  20. you will need about three of these!! they only produce abot 3 amps . That compressor is probably around 9/10 amps:biggrin:
  21. There are two ways to understand how blisteringly quick and powerful Bobs car is.... One is to see it in action on the strip. The other is to go out in your own car whatever it is with an observer and do some tests.......... From a standing start using a stopwatch/GPS etc time how long it takes you to get to 128mph. At the same time or on a separate run down the same stretch of level road measure how far you have traveled when you are doing 128mph.
  22. Now that is a VERY SCARY scenario.:sweatdrop: :rofl::rofl::rofl:
  23. A big hello to the 120 odd guests that are now looking at the forum:flowers: Are any of you real people??? If so what are you looking at/for??? Or are you all machines from cyberspace??:blink: Well................................................
  24. Nail on head there Gary. Bob was going to fit them cos he liked them as they wre on the old car obviously. i didnt like them so I vetoed the plan. :yes: Hence they were sold.
  25. Ahah!!! Mr Chung!!!:winkiss: Long time no speak or see. I still have one.... not on the road tho:sad:
