Hello mate.What were the other zx?..300s or 280s?

Ok il start a thread on the new season.I still have not got over loseing to palace in the play offs!!,But hey ho supporting Brighton for 37 years im used to dissapointment,Still weve got yeovil away to look foward to while that lot from croydon are going to old trafford,emirates etc.grrr. So who do you support?.How do you think you will do this season? Il start with my team Brighton..New manager,rumours of some barcalona b team players possibly coming on loan,well messi wouldnt get get in ahead of barnes!!!.i think we will hit play offs again and go to wembley at least.

Im new to the 300zx scene but a bit of an old git when it comes to zee cars.Having had a few 260z,280zx..My car is at jeffs now and im sure il be dealing with you mark in the future.So hello from the seagull and best of luck mate

Well ive arranged to get the car up to jeffs on thursday morning.Bit more advice needed though.The garage its at,at the momment the bloke is being a complete arsehole.I phoned him today to say ive arranged for it to be picked up and have been very resonable throughout,even though he refused to do the work i asked him to do!!!.He has said he will leave car outside and i may get charged storage fees.Im really in the mood to chin this idiot,Can he legally do this?.I know for sure the garage is going to get a hell of a review on internet from me!!!

Cheers for chatting earlier jeff.I did phone to auto guy up and was pretty flabergasted by reaction.I asked him to phone you re gear box and he said im not phoneing anyone,ive repaired auto boxes for 30 years.I then asked if he could just drain the oil and clean the strainer to which he replied no,the clutch is breaking up and he will do the whole job and not as you recommended.Well what can you say to that?.Im not getting him to do any work now as he come across as an obnoxious prick and at the end of the day its my money. So im thinking of next step once ive got car back home.Id like to get it to you but its a long way.Any suggestions on getting it there.Or anyone here got a trailer and a bit of free time?.obviously id pay and get a couple of beers in

Hiya jeff.I dont think they did the fluid and strainer change,i think theyve only looked at it.Yet the recovery guy said exactley same as you and he used to rebuild auto boxes.I got the message that torque convertor wasnt working,stuff was disintergrating etc.Il ring him tmrw and write down exactly what he said,and ring you if ok

I might give jeff a bell tmrw and have a chat.The manual conversion is a possibility.Just didnt really want or expect to shell out over a grand after doing less than a thousand miles,so pretty hacked off

I dont have the facilities or know people with enougth knowledge to even attempt it mate

Well i took the car to a local auto specialist and the diagnosis was a full overhaul which will set me back £1300.Boy im not happy.Only done about 1000 miles in it since i bought it.Is there anyone cheaper out there as 1300 is a lot of cash at this momment in time

hello mate

Why do you regret manual box rolandas?

Cheers jeff i will try that and new fluid first..in worse case scenario and new box is needed id probbly change for a manual box

Yes i think speronis save..from hammond in first game and from barnes in 2nd game was a turning point.Palace just showed more passion and whats come out since regarding poyet is quite intresting.btw my best mate is a palarse supporter and hasnt given me too much stick since the game.i think it could be a good game at wembley..think watford will nick it with there loan players and come back down following season

Hi all..ok this happend tonight and i some advice to what it could be. comeing home from work the car suddenly made a sort of whirring noise,at the next set of traffic lights i stopped and as i went to pull away..nothing,just revs and not moveing. i turned engine off then on again,put it into gear and for about 10/15 seconds it drove then once again lots of revs but not moveing. any help?

To be fair cripled alice were the better team,we had no passion and palace did.im glad im out of the country when the final is on..Come on watford.haha

Well id try to arrange one if enougth interest.maybe go onto z club and see if we can get some people out

Any meets planned in south east?

Probbly my first 280zx,which was a 2 seater and fitted with a janspeed turbo..prob rare as hell now

Hopeing Brighton will be joining them via the play offs.Although my last 2 away games at forrest and peterborough on tuesday we was pretty bloody awful..But now above palace!!!!:clap:

On everything else except the roads!!..even at slowest possible crawling speed over some speed humps my exhaust scrapes

Nice one cheers i didnt think of xenon and ive used them before for the 260z..doh

Looking for a twin turbo owners manual or haynes type manual,does anybody have one?.looked on ebay but they only seem to have manuals for the z31 and not z32

I once bought a guitar on ebay at a rock bottom price..Bloke then mailed me to say he had damaged it trying to post it and couldnt send it as it was..was it damaged or did he just not want to sell at that price?,who knows

Hi gary yes thanks il get that sorted out

Nope not one fxxxxxg number..the 260z 2 seater will have to wait a bit longer to get on the road.Anyway the better half is happy as i said i will buy an english electric lightning and stick it in the garden if i win
