Picked my Z up from him yesterday midday - they closed early to go Xmas shopping! Should be in again today.

that'll buff right out

and this one's almost as funny....

J Perf test looked pretty comprehensive and unbiased to me. But then as a physicist turned marketer, which one of me do you trust :rofl:

googling for baby shrimp finds a lot of menu-related stuff (not appropriate here) but also the important information that baby shrimp are called zoeae and and also this welcome to little shrimp. Congratulations, pete & mrs shrimp - bear in mind that :)

no it's only me :rofl: cheers Allan, just been f-busy, that's all but I needed some light relief so thought I'd see what's what = SSDD! hahaha

mutter mutter. Thankfully someone already posted Italian Job and Blues Brothers but what about Duel and Hell Drivers . What a cast: Stanley Baker, Sean Connery, Patrick McGoohan, William Hartnell, David McCallum... and some f-big trucks :p

just an ugly rumour :tongue: hi Si :p

there's traders here who can help or http://www.300zx.lv which is closer to you or http://www.mjpauto.com plus I always find Cos at ConceptZ in the US helpful. This assistance to our new friend in Norway is prompted by this important news about strippers Cheers - Gio

'ello ello - excuse me sir, we in the constabulary have made great strides in controlling and reducing cannibalism in the force. Everyone knows that it's the VAT Office you want to watch out for these days...

Greetings Pop-pickers, I know this isn't a recent sighting but I am interested in the history of a UK Blue Auto TT with this reg. I know where it's been recently and I even know where it is right now! But if anyone knows history of it before this year, I'd be quite interested. Not 'arf. :D

recursive: n see recursive :tongue: hallo mike ;)

wot you mean like this :headvswal :D

Insurance renewal plopped on the mat a few days ago. With Lifesure (broker) policy through AON (underwritten by Royal Sun Alliance) £567. Call AON directly, they can't poach Lifesure business but if you email them on classiccarsdudley@aon.co.uk to request a quote, they're allowed to talk to you = £504 for exactly the same policy Call Lifesure back - they have to go away and think about it. Got the call just now, Lifesure using Highway = £502. Job done - ta. Moral: always get more than one insurance quote every time you're coming up to renewal.

Only if it's mine! :rofl: Officially, UK had Twin Turbo and NO Fairlady Z. Conversely, JDM had Fairlady Z on the right and nothing on the left.

Just as well this forum is never visited by scallies looking for easy jobs or people working for insurance companies then. Please please remember that posts on forums are public and you should never say on a forum what you wouldn't say in an advert readable by every internet user worldwide.

A) you're absolutely right: bypassing the knock sensor = expensive noises so should only ever be done for diagnosis or temp bodge to get you by if you know what you're doing (and don't drive like a prat :D ) B) you're absolutely right, engine removal is not necessary for knock sensor replacement. I know Ryan / ZTech knows how to and I am sure there are others. I was sworn to secrecy over "the trick" by a bloody cowboy who conned me so here it is: dropping the gearbox allows you to tilt the engine forward just enough to unbolt the EGR valve on the back of the engine which is necessary to remove the gubbins and plenum on top of the engine so you can get to the knock sensor which is in the middle of the V. But be bloody sure to put all the right bolts back and tighten them up unlike the bloody cowboy did to mine as spotted and fixed by ZTech. I am not an engineer so please get this checked by proper techies. HTH - Gio

Doing a special Welsh version is he? There's lovely, isn't it :rofl:
