Im starting to see a theme in your choice of music videos!

everyone fancy chipping in?

Im guessing you are talking about the Z31? This is mainly a z32 forum, so knowledge of the z31 may be limited, however someone may know an answer to your question....

I love those supras, my friend has a couple and I do enjoy going for adrive in them. They look so cool, retro and 80's... I just noticed the guy that turned up in a Nissan duke?!

MAfs go bad by just looking at them funny, I had one that passed all the voltage tests, so I passed it of as working fine. Tried everything else, still didnt fix the problem. Went back to the MAF, replaced it and the problem went away. Can you borrow one to test on the car?

I look at this picture and think to myself.... "I want one of them.... want one of them.... and one of them.... had one of them.... want one of those......"

I havent, It is going into the shop in a couple of weeks and as its 30 years old, I thought it might be a good job to do along with all the other jobs! However didnt expect the price of some cable to be so much. Ill take a look when its in the shop and work out a plan. Thanks for all the help!

Yes, you are right, Appologies if offense was taken by any comments on either side of the argument. Does show how polarising this debate still is though!

Completely agree, look at this pandemic, three reported cases of PPE contracts being given to ministers or ministers friends companies without the proper procedure, in one case a company that had never dealt with PPE in its life. Or the ferry company that didn't own any ferry's.... These are just ones that we know about....bring on the Keir I say...

That's because they still own thier own airlines unlike us who sold it to the Spanish. Dartford bridge is owned by the French, half of Newhaven in Sussex is owned by the French. We keep letting money hungry Tory's sell off our countries assets and then moan the country has no money. Look at the Shetlands they saved all their oil money and only used the interest, now they have amazing facilities, residents get a dividend and they still only use the interest. Thatcher spunked our cash on specials business deals with other Tory croneys. We will be the ones going cap in hand back to the EU because we screwed it up. This virus will just make it happen quicker as the economy is already in the tank and we can't ask the EU for help anymore.... Commence debate! ?

Ive been through the manual download section, found that I need three cables to replace, cant seem to find the part numbers though, could any one help? The hand brakes on both of mine are terrible and definatly want to sort them out. When I google hand brake cables, everywhere seems to be out of stock. Also on one of the cars, it only seems to work (barely) on one side. Is that the cable or would I need to replace the drum shoes?

Two things from that video: 1) I thought my pc sound was broken, whacked up my speakers and then deafen myself when there was talking and 2) I need a 300zx model that big in my life! I have had an image of the proto on my desktop for a day now and I have to say, the front is growing on me too. I actually thing im starting to like it. That nismo version is a fan render, but looks very nice too

I have seen a few of his videos on youtube, one of the big car show that happened during lockdown between brighton and newhaven that brought the traffic to a stand still!

Nissan 390

I like it from the side and back. That rear quarter view looks really good. Im not liking the front, I think the grill is too big, gopping some might say. Im not a fan of the interior.....its a bit.....vauxhall corsa....To quote Clarkson "Looks like the inside of a mans washbag" Kudos to Nissan for going with an ICE engine especially in these times. Going back to the looks (front end) it is still a prototype and the 2001 GTR prototype did look different to the final release, so maybe they will fine tweak it a bit? As you can see in the picture its similar, but not the GTR we know. Fingers crossed they sort the front out a bit...

No problem, I hope you get better soon. I know how you feel, I have to use a special cushion when I sit down now. Laying down is ok for me as my weight is spread out over my body, but sitting for more than an hour without my cushion is hard work! I think as there is no other interest, im going to have to cancel this meet. Maybe plan something next month?

Just bumping this topic to see if anyone else is coming? I'll book the table on Wednesday so need to know numbers by lunchtime on Wednesday

Unfortunately this is business now. Investors/stockholders own companies and don't care about the business, its future or its morals. As long as they get their profits throughout and at the end, then they don't think about the rest. Once you can get passed that, then life is so much less stressful because you end up not caring.... maybe I should be an investor....where's my cheque book... ?

my socket has never worked since I have had the car and thought I would see why... The tang on the actual socket has been snapped off and there is this mess underneath: (Please see photo) I am guessing one of these is the 12v feed for the socket, another is a feed for heated seats or mirrors or something and the blue circle seems to be a blade plug of some sort that shorts on the hand brake and blows the headlight fuse (hence I wrapped it in tape!) Any ideas on how to sort this out?

Just a quick update, jumped in the car the other day to go to work and the power steering is back, its fine. If anything its better than before (it was heavy most of the time and sometimes light, but always working) now it is light most of the time and occasionally heavy. Im thinking that loose cable you guys mentioned is to blame, but has somehow re-connected?

Happy Birthday Ian!

All my zeds have had the key push release. I was told its a anti-hijacking feature (along with the seatbelts in the doors) that the japanese like to have

judging by the LHD, they are still in America? That put me off the show when Mike and Ed went there, I found I had no connection to the cars and less and less episodes became interesting. Has it got better?

I would love to offer my car, but I dont think its in show condition. The rust bubbles on the arch and boot lid and pink bonnet might put people off rather than attract them!

I have planned another trip for people to meet up and drive: Boxhill to (almost) Brighton! The route would be Box Hill in Surrey to the Smugglers Rest at Telscombe Cliffs on the edge of Brighton (ish). The route takes in some A roads, B roads and dual-carriageway. I have been on some of these roads before, but never been to Boxhill! If people met in car park at 12pm, with the aim to leave around 12:30pm, the route should take about 2 hours, so we will arrive at the pub around 14:30(ish). The pub has lots of outside seating, so as long as the weather is nice a large group of us shouldn't be a problem. The pub also has a reasonable sized car park and the views are amazing as its hanging on to the cliff edge overlooking the sea. Nearer the time, when we have more solid numbers, I can always ring up and book. Any numbers over 8 people, I have to call them anyway. Please let me know if you can come, it would be a great way to see out the (sunny part) of the year!
