I have to admit, that was a fantastic kill :bow: :bow: :bow:

DIY 60K kit? I was a bit worried when i saw the thread title, I hope your not gonna use an innertube for your cambelt, bostick for your cam seals, blender instead of water pump etc..... ;)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sounds like a Microsoft product operating normally then...

Do you get a smell of petrol when turning the car over? Have you cleaned up your ECU temp sensor connector or checked the sensor? that can screw your fuelling right up

Try doing the Monster mash :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Check his eyebrows for crabs, if they're there then you know how he got the award....

Thats terrible news, feel sorry for ya' mate, Hondas really are great machines.

Those de-cat pipes and divorced downpipes look identical to a set I have on my TT. The divorced pipes were great but the fit of the decat pipes was poor and they hung down an extra inch or two meaning that my middle exhaust bracket wouldn't fit. Your O2 sensors screw into holes on the divorced downpipes (not visible in ebay picture), and you don't need to modify any gaskets, the gas separator on the downpipes unscrews so you can mount the gaskets, then screw the separator back on.

Ahhhh... euphoria and trance, those were the days, unlike crappy modern music, its all just bleeping noises :rant: :rant: :rant:

Reliability? the reliability of these cars is proportional to how much TLC you give them, if you religously replace hoses and other wear items as well as change the oil every 5 minutes then the car should never let you down. However after 15 years a lot of these cars have age-related faults and given our ridiculously high underbonnet temeratures a lot of the plastic and rubber things under the bonnet go brittle or perish, also some of the hoses like turbo water feeds are a right bitch to get to and if they ever break your in for a disaster. When it comes to buying zeds your probably looking at upwards of £4000 over here for a good one, also buying off a forum member is often a good way to find a car thats been looked after. Your best bet is to aquire the services of someone who's an expert in these cars and get them to inspect the car for you, either that or memorise one of the buyers guides you'll find on a few zx sites, like this one: http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/BuyingZ.htm

Over this side of the water most people just buy a TT if they want a TT, NA's aren't that common over here as they were only ever available on import. If you search on 300zxclub.com or Twinturbo.net, you'll probably find a load more info on TTswaps as they love them in the states. As far as engines go your pretty much right about the only difference being the pistons, its there that the similarities stop. If you want to drop in a TT with turbos you'll need all the piping+ intercoolers, loom, ecu, fuel pump and fuel pump controller unit, gearbox, driveshaft, you'll also need some solenoids and other stuff. The cost of all the parts and labour is usually more that the cost of a complete TT, but if you're doing all the work yourself you may find it economically viable. If you're looking for bits there are a few places in our Traders forums, but retailers in the states will probably be better for you whe it comes to shipping costs, I think theres plenty of info (as well as buyer/seller ratings) on 300zxclub.com. Also if you want to try and get that car started take a spare PTU with you and plug it into the car when you get there, that may be the cause of the non-start. (take some contact cleaner and give the ECU temp sensor connector a good scrub as well).

Wow, thats pretty impressive

Party on Dude :rofl:

Is it an AMC Pacer???? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks ;)

I think applying labels that use the word 'culture' to individual types of behaviour is a misuse of such a broad label, although I will admit I would be hard pressed to properly use it myself. The problem with 'institutional racism' was that it was never properly defined, some people took it to mean what you said above, another definition (the near official one)was that it described an organisation who was inherently racist because of its official procedures and the actions of its members. Another one meant that collectively the effect of an organisations existence was racist, and another said it had nothing to do with the organsiation itself and that racism was effectively the 'modulus' of all the people that organisation contained. Man, I sure am rambling

It seems every time something occurs, the media quickly cry out theres a 'culture' of something, we're no more a 'knife culture' than we are a culture of people 'who wear shoes'. I'm not saying knife carrying isn't widespread, I'm just criticising the media's need for labelling. e.g 'institutional racism', viewed collectively an organisation is either just plain racist or its not, but thats not enough for the press they have to add the word 'institutional' to make it seem like some sort of worthwhile analysis is going on, even though all these years later 'institutional racism' hasn't been properly defined.

Its waiting in the wings getting ready to own HD DVD when it comes out.

You could do a similar thing that my mate did to the GTR badge on his skyline (although it sounds a bit extreme for a sat-nav unit), he was sick of people stealing it so he carefully cut up some razor blades and then glued them to the back of it. The next person who tries to pull it off is in for a shock.

blu-ray, blu-ray!!! BLU RAY!!!!!!!!!! (shakes fist)

:rofl: P.S. I love your V8 P.P.S have you thought about selling conversions kits for V8s? I think you could make a few bob that way, esp. in the States, although I loathe to think what shipping would cost.

I've developed a foolproof way of making myself feel better when I'm having a bad day at work. I simply obtain a copy of my job description, read it, then realise that I pretty much play computer games for a living. Hope this helps :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I could tear the ozone layer a new arse with the amount I have
