Does that engine bay look like someone's thrown £25-30k at it ? Yeah I realise it might all be on the inside butu even so.......

First one I've seen out and about for ages..... "Hi" Mark

Thanks everyone - Andy too. Mark

Hi Sean Both Mark (Topless) and myself have used a guy who's about half way between Horsham and the A23 - Martyn is his name. Knows his stuff and is as much an enthusiast of these beasts as we are. PM me and I'll give you his number....... Cheers Mark

Zevans - thanks. Andyduff - what a c*ck ! We're not all as clever as you. If I needed a childish comment I'd speak to my niece who's three and who at least would be trying to help.......

Guys I've just fitted a Greddy boost guage - courtesy of Baz - and now I'm confused about what it's telling me. If I'm just driving along the guage reads negative. If I'm on slight acceleration it may creep up to zero and if I really give it some then the guage will climb to 0.5 bar maximum but no more than that. Is this right ? If the guage is giving me a negative reading unless under acceleration doesn't this mean that it's blocking the input tract ? I would have thought it would only ever read zero or above..... :confused: :confused: Mark

Gotta be Bayside Blue............

Just thinking about the engine for sale....... Any ideas on cost for a rebuild, new parts like pistons, cams, crank, rods, bearings etc. Cost of refurbing the tubs ? Or just get some new bigger ones ? Mark

There've been quite a few graphs posted over time and all the engines seem to run out of steam at about 7k rpm ish. What's the factory spec rev limit and what can you reasonably take them to with modding internals etc ? I was watching Top gear the other night and Vicki B-H mentioned that the Honda S2000 didn't get into it's stride until 8,000 rpm !!! Or I may have mis-heard that bit :D I bet the Z would wail like a banshee at 8-10,000 rpm !!!!! Mark

Hi Alex It was pretty easy. Copious amounts of brake cleaner followed by a good going over with a Dremmel with the brass brush head to get everything off back to clean metal. Then *cough* Halfords enamel in a blue that was similar to my car colour painted on with a brush. I didn't avoid the logo or anything and then just removed the enamel from the logo using the Dremmel and brass brush. I haven't lacquered them - didn't think about it really. I use *cough* Halfords wheel cleaner occassionally on the wheels and of course it oversprays onto the calipers and seems to do the job of keeping them bright. I think it's well worth doing, although I was VERY tempted (and still am) to get them and all the associated metalwork (track rods, steering arms etc) chromed like an American hot-rod. Cheers Mark

And the other side ? Oooooh YES !!!!

Oooooh YES !!!!!!

That sounds like something Ken Livingstone would say........... "People who drive 300+horsepower cars on the streets of our country are complete idiots" There are probably people out there who will welcome GPS monitoring of your speed at all times relative to the speed limit of where you are at all times. There are only a few motoring pleasures left, one of which is track days. I wouldn't say that people who are happy to partake of such events are idiots IMO. Mark

URL/web address ?

I did Brands Hatch in my Z (Stu kindly posted the pics for me) and I have to say that it was just brilliant. Of course you have to keep your brain in gear at all times and remember that it's NOT competitive, and also the marshals will have you off the circuit quicker than you can blink if they think you are acting up. At the end of the day what's the point of owning a car such as the Z which is so well engineered and built for speed/handling if you only ever drive it on the sh*t roads provided by our friend Tony ? I'll be doing more as soon as my suspension and brakes are sorted and I really do think it's worth the risk. Mark

If you speak to Luke at Z Centre, I gave him a Japanese catalogue for the Z32 that had quite a few options. Maybe he can get hold of them ? Mark

I remember reading about an guy that was sh*gging his wife's belly-button. They went to the Doctor complaining of lack of pregnancy and a sore belly !!

I can't really remember anyone even thinking about it. They take one look at the quad exhaust, fat tyres, wing and think 'fook that' :D Ps they also probably think 'DAMN that's a fantastic colour' :D

I've got these (see pic) in the post already. Just wondered if anyone was interested I could try and get them shipped. Mark

No idea either. And you're right - GREEN shocks ? Shocking !!

£300 +shipping Currently on Japanese ebay.........

Guy's name is Steve. Door security operative (among other titles). Apparently she bangs like a barn door in a gale ! Again not me unfortunately !!!

James !!!! "I've thought of another one......a mate of mine had a go on Linsey Dawn McKenzie in an alley round the back of Blue Orchid in Croydon.......nasty old stinkbag! Ha ha, I'm quite enjoying this............ NEXT !!" I have a mate who did the same thing !!!! In the same place !!! Now that either means it's a small world or loads of blokes have had a go with the big-bre*sted one. Not me included unfortunately :( :)

:D :mac1: :D PMSL !!!!

Good grief !!!!
