  1. I think you'll find their to be written and produced by the writers of "Game of thrones" not Harry Potter.
  2. https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?186002-Black-JDM-92-300ZX-TT-Manual-LWB-for-repair Food for thought perhaps? Ignore the spares as they've been sold, contact me if you have any questions. Cheers, Steve
  3. "Ain't that a shame" Truly worthy of a Legend status, RIP Fats.
  4. All change, not going to BTCC so will be going to the breakfast club. I will drop by and say hello to those attending.
  5. I always attend the Breakfast clubs, but clashes with BTCC final so not this year, have a good day all who attend though .
  6. Over simplified? what is this forum Jeff? I am giving a simple quick take on your generalised assumption of the UK market based upon a couple of specialist low volume distributors of foreign goods, following a UK vote to leave the EU single market. It has nothing to do with world markets , new markets or new industry that may or may not arise from it. It's down to our business sectors to realise the changes that will come about and act upon them, whether that means retaining exiting business models and practices or changing them. Indeed some businesses simply won't succeed as we go further down the road to unsaddling ourselves from the misery of European fiscal regulations on foreign trade that have deprived the UK of extending its skills and services to greater world markets, but that has always be the case in recessions that have been facilitated as a direct result of being a part of the European single market. The reason why some areas of manufacturing have become more competitive since devaluation of sterling is, whilst the cost of some raw materials may have increased, the latest and continuing figures from the OFS have shown that the sector has become more competitive with manufactured exports. Simplified or not, we continue to meet changes the UK market presents and the quicker people working and earning their living from the UK get on board with the situation then the better the long term situation will become, I don't believe those who voted for Brexit believed the short term would be easy, merely that the long term prospects represent a greater opportunity for the UK than continuing with ever increasing governance of the United states of an unelected Europe! Enjoy the Portuguese Sun Jeff i'm off to work again early tomorrow, practising what I preach.
  7. Then this is specific to a couple of specialist suppliers in a very small market place. The reality of the "vote" is that many business sectors including manufacturing in the UK are benefitting substantially with the devaluation of sterling against the euro and USD as they are finding themselves more competitive. The UK would serve itself better by manufacturing more products than simply importing and distributing as they are always open to more external risks with less control over product and market. Brexit is a challenge and across the board we have a very poor political framework to reach a short term satisfactory arrangement , but Europe is belligerent to our position yet our economy remains strong and Europe weak so don't blame the Brexit vote for the outcome of sterling, which had already been devalued to a greater extent proceeding the referendum than after it. If a company has held its prices for five years, then for five years its market has stagnated leaving it open to greater financial risk when affected by foreseen or unforeseen circumstances.
  8. Sterling is now down against the Dollar since the referendum by only 6 cents, profiteering in all sectors of the market is rife, this is no exception....although, I've never heard of anyone using K-sport as the norm and maybe their purchasing power is particularly weak or market strength not particularly great! Running a Zed like any other "classic" is never going to be cheap whether your seeking to maintain the car to the highest specification or otherwise.
  9. I hear you Richard and apologies for lack of participation, but so far behind now I should have chosen McLaren for the team win, at least I know what it feels like, lol!
  10. I don't live in here any more, so didn't bother with the thread history.... Don't think it's a major fopar!
  11. I've heard of bread wagons, shooting brakes etc, but this takes the Biscuit, got to admire the ambition though.
  12. No fluke, perhaps a little good fortune, but a shot like that allowing for so many tangibles is what they are trained for and once an a while something exceptional stands out, congrats to him and his spotter...one less ISIS scum to deal with.
  13. In your conversation with him, do you know if they can pull arches as well as roll them?
  14. Its amazing how Leyland junk is even being considered as potential classic status, let alone actually fetching strong money already... and the Z32 is still struggling to get a grip in the investment market!!!
  15. "I saw the exact same thing happen with Sierra Cosworth, once the heralded Fast Ford that managers and executives alike were happy to be seen in, as prices dropped in late nineties they got all chavved up, got rid of mine just in time thank goodness" Are you sure this was such a good idea? My godson sold his Sierra Cosworth recently, which he purchased with a friend a few years back as an investment... yes it was immaculate and one owner and 17k on the clock, but he got the thick end of £100k for it last year! Lets hope you're right and the Z32 goes the same, I suspect not, chavved or otherwise.
  16. Bought form a member on here with the intention of finishing them off and fitting, but no longer required. I would say they are 75-80% polished overall so the bulk of the work is done. They are in very good condition and have been properly prepped before polishing. The picture doesn't show them in the best light as the room was quit dark.

  18. Remember him well in those Playschool years, seems such simple TV now, but an important part of my youngest years. RIP Brian Cant and thank you.
  19. Item now Sold Purchased from a member on here for my car but never fitted! Still boxed as received in good condition, no leaks. A very popular and comfortable riding lowering spring. giving a perfect 20-25mm ride height reduction Can arrange delivery but will have to price up freight, probably £10- £15
  20. NOW SOLD UR Lightweight Pulley set in new/ light use condition purchased from a member on here (must have seen me coming paid way more!) Heavily discounted on my purchase price, in excellent condition and includes new Belts. Billet manufactured Pulley Set, includes Water Pump Pulley Power Steering Pump Pulley Air con Pulley Crank Pulley New V belt set Delivery not included but estimate £8-10 signed for and insured. Spec from website: Our most popular crank pulleys, the ones everyone is familiar with. This version of our crank pulleys increases performance because they underdrive all the accessories (15-20% more power), unlike accessory only kits out there that do not include the crank pulley. This means one you air conditioning is on our crank pulleys give you more power back to the wheels by not letting the air conditioning compressor rob as much power.However, we do not push the amount or percentage of underdrive too far for two main reasons. First, it is important to keep charging systems, air conditioning, power steering, and water pumps moving fast enough for every day driving. Second, not much horsepower is gained from extreme underdriving. We always keep our underdrive percentage under 20% which is what allows us to maintain factory specified outputs for all your accessories. Our testing has found for most vehicle models you can upgrade your stereo to a system of up to 600 watts (RMS) and not have any charging problems. For most applications all of the underdriving is done at the crank pulley, not the accessory pulleys. This is done so maximum weight loss can be achieved at the crank where most of the horsepower gains are realised. The Ultra Series underdrive crank pulleys are available in polished aluminium finish. Real HP & torque gains across entire RPM range One of the highest HP/Torque per dollar gains on the market The broadest range of applications available Over 8 years of use in real world applications from street to strip to rally to road course Better than OEM belt fitment & alignment Accessory pulleys available separately for many applications CAD designed & CNC from 6061 Aluminium billet
