Le Mans 24
Seems theirs a good interest for Le-Mans 2014! Thought I would look a but further into this and follow up on Lexx's reccomendations!, so a quick summary. 1st Tickets. http://www.speedchills.com/le-mans-24-hours/private-camping/prices They offer a complete booking experience for their campsites , to include Eurostar and Ferry crossings (longer carriers also covered), there sites have the full facilities adn are in good proximity too the circuit. They also have a club package which offers addiotnal benefits but for me this is why I would prefer the Piston heads package. Pitson Heads http://www.1st-tickets.co.uk/ph/enquiriesph.html Also managed by 1st Tickets, the Pistonheads package includes its own campsite (Bleu Nord) just off the Start/ finish area and a full club package, which includes, Marquee, bar, breakfast & dinner included x 3, guests, live band and usual camp sites facilities, (hot showers, clean bogs!!! Lol). Bonus with the Pistonheads package is taht if your comiong as a group/Club they will allocate you space so that you can camp together and don't have to arrive at the same time, as you can start camoing form the Wednesday. The Campsite is shared with the Aston Martin owners club, so should be in good company. As it's the offcial return of the Nissan LMP1 team, we might be able to get some sort of promotional deal with the team (perhaps visit the team pits, banners, etc) so a few links to go with to get a feel of what might suit, including http://beermountain.com/, which has a lot of info on what to do and when to do it.... Cheers, Steve.

Jealous of you lot!, been following the thread and looking at my cash flow, but been buying too many engine bits this month...going to be some nice sitting Zeds on the forum soon, a good offer Jerrick, need more deals like this from other traders.

Body damage
Sounds like body damage can't be proved either way, workshop, transport, or already like that! Aside from suggesting a panel template document to be signed on delivery ( as hire and body shop companies use) Perhaps an amicable settlement of 5O/50. Don't know what the running issues are now, but clearly you didn't have them when you drove the car home, If Noz is willing to look at it, then let him, good as any on here to sort things out. Hope you guys find an amicable resolution.

is it safe to use dump valves or hybrid dump valves
Not picked up on the use of Dump valves being ineffective before, but understood them to help keep the turbos spooling between gears, is the concensus then that they are show not go and affect an engines perforamcne rather than enhance it? Had mine with the car, seemed a bit Quattroish! and the lad loves them, so they have stayed, but if thats a negative? then there gone!

calling all runners

calling all runners
Zola Bud was a world first in international athletics, ruinning barefoot, although there are some long distance track runners now doing the same...there big concern is being spiked by other runners. I guess the practical side of running barefoot on the street is mitigated by the poor surfaces we would find let alone the health aspect. There are now trainers you can buy that are formed for the foot to include individual toes, looks very odd, but suggests they recognise some merit in the barefoot advantage!

Le Mans 24
This was an idea I posted on the original thread, not least because I've always wanted to go to LeMans . Thought the idea of 300zx group run would be fun, especially as Nissan I believe are returning to Le Sarthe next year with a LMP1 Nismo team, so we might be able to do a promotional tie up with them? On a practical basis, it could be worth considering a trip linked with Pistonheads as they run a camping trip every year, supplying club marquee, BBQ etc, I understand they also encourage club groups to join them. I will look into this a little more as a heads up option. Also is the general concensus going to be Guys an Girls or does anyone have petrol head kids who would want to join in. Personaly I would like to bring my Lad along but it could be postponed to another year! Also prefer the idea of a Road Trip, so "A" roads for me not boring motorways..I want to be able to drive the Zed! Hope this thread continues to grow in interest and commitment.

Style over Substance...or Neither?
On reflection, i thinks its a homage to all the car styling shops out their, well at least the backstreet ones, as it must have at least one part from every one there is and none of them for a 300ZX!!!

EBAY Advice on rules and refunds etc
If he has sent them, he should have provided a despatch tracking number, or at least a contact of the courier he is using, as already said there could be reasons beyond his control, but this doesn't excuse not keeping you up to date. You did the right thing using Ebay with Paypal, so any dispute should be resolved in your favour..hope it doesn't get to this.
