Easiest thing to do mate is to set up a webpage detailing why FF are a crap gym and what you think of them. You can do this for free and from the comfort of your own armchair. in fact someone might already hhave done this for you i which case just put a posting on their site giving your experiences. Then if you want go to the nearest shopping centre and put a flyer under every windscreen wiper you can find dire cting them to fitnessfirstripsyouoff.com or whatever. Alternatively, get hold of a wodge of Mcdonalds money off vouchers and hand them out to people leaving the gym!!

Im sure you used to have some brilliant wheels that i loved looking at - keep the Zed!!

for me, Clarkson had already made his mind up before driving it. There weren't any real flaws with it so it was like a "digital camera" whereas the Alfa was an atrocius handling sportscar but thats OK because it was Italian so was meant to have "soul". Nissan couldnt win. Also, the challenge is complete balls. If the race was between the GTR and the bullet train then fine but have you considered WHERE THE PICTURES WERE BEING TAKEN FROM? Because I bet you it wasn't another GTR - all those camera shots of Clarkson speeding past will have been taken from a land Rover or other such fat slow jeep - i.e the GTR could only be limited by the speed of the camera car anyway otherwise what would they show on TV? Doesnt this make the whole thing pointless?

did he just overtake a white 300zx?

GTR OMG Each gearbox is developed for the individual engine???? OMG

Starting now - Clarkson in Japan!!!

:dance: swerving around to keep his tyres warm - LOL

Don't do it!!

But these cars are designed to be stretched arent they? As far as i understand its much better to get a performance car that has been driven and well maintained rather than one that has been stood around or is just used to potter about in!

idiots :headvswal

"Didn't know these were Z related." Sorry - thats the second time ive done that now - thanks to the passing mod! "tyres changed every six month regardless, serviced and checked every 3 im sure ive read somewhere, or maybe the other way round lol" Plus you never know what interesting things you might find pushed down the back of the seats!!

Anyone like these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230263343857&indexURL=0&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting

Quavey have you seen this useful performance calculator? Its surprisingly accurate!! http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp

Dont worry funkySi - a picture of the new NSX for you in your trade mark white!!

Thanks for the update mate - theres loads of threads on here where the problem gets sorted out but whoever started the thread doesnt update it to tell everyone what happened in the end!! Frustrating as you never get to find out whether their solution worked or not.

cheers guys!

http://jpcnews.blogspot.com/2008/06/v8-for-z34-bc-says-you-betcha.html If YOU were designing the Z34 (sale price approx 50k) what would you realistically put in it?

I think you'll get ten K for it - might just have to wait a while but like you said youre hardly driving it anyway. For me it would be worth lots more than that but as mentioned above there isnt the money around in the current climate. Why dont you put it up and see what you get? The worst that can happen is that people offer less than 10k and you keep the car anyway! Your car is pretty much unique - especially as compared to the Z33! I seriously think prices for good examples like your will be coming UP in th enext few years!

And why have i posted this in the Non-z related forum? what a t1t

Ive been reading this forum since 2004 (though took me a while to subscribe!). I've just about got to the point where I feel comfortable discussing engine problems and planning upgrades as regards turbos, flywheels etc. But when you start considering other stuff like the suspension or brakes or transmission you get completely lost in the detail of all the things you can do to this car LOL Its so complex you wonder whether you will ever fully understand the Zed!! And by the way, which person actually DESIGNED all this in the first place? Which other cars has he designed since then (I would be interested to see his other ideas!)

Give Mike at MJP a call - have a look in the traders section for thenumber - he's a top bloke and sholud be able to source all the parts you want!

?knackered bearing?

I remember when Top gear did a feature on the VW Corrado being an undersung second hand buy - prices went through the roof the very next morning!! If we could get Clarkson to do a feature on the 300zx offering phenomenal performance for less than the price of a toyota aygo the prices of our zeds would at least double!!

Does anyone know the difference between S02 and S02"a"s? Both are listed as a summer tyre!

But cost of living is cheaper too. Why do you think the retailers call Britain "Treasure Island"?
