Yeah sure, any ideas on the date for that yet? Absolutely, So far I've been in the car while 3 other people have driven her and the most i've done is revved the engine a bit in a car park :cry: It looks like a few people were after her then, that's always a good sign.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to drive it back :cry: , I can't transfer my no claims over till 3rd feb unless I want to lose 11 months. So it's currently sat on one of my dads customers driveways. But I did manage to convince me dad to let me take the targas off on the way back :) The insurance then will still be a killer (I'm 22) so I shan't be doing much more in the way of mods this year. Maybe just 99 spec tail lights, HIDs, and a semi decent stereo/carputer. I just need to get the squeak from the suspension solved, the intermittent speedo/rev counter and also the idle value for the speedo as apparently it idles at 1500rpm. Other than that I can't fault it.

I've been around the club for a while but haven't been able to afford a Z till now, so I picked this up yesterday. What does everyone think? Link

As title Link

get yourself a UPS aswell, i've got a 600W one from dabs.com to protect my pc (A watercooled and overclocked beast)

Have you heard Elton John has released a commemerative single for Saddam? Dangle in the wind

I'm not sure they go together though

How about these? http://www.topsecretjpn.com/roberuta.shtml Pricey though

http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/BuyingZ.htm This is one of the buyers guides I'm going to be using

Merry Christmas to all. I think it's about time I started wrapping the pressies up now, I've held off for as long as possible.

As I live 100 miles away from this car would someone a bit more local be willing to have a look at it for me if i provide a few beer tokens. @ Slick Pete Sounds good but can't be doing with an auto

How about this one, looking at the price i'm thinking there must be something wrong with it... Link

That could be useful, thank you

What do I need to look for in the engine bay to tell whether or not it is a turbo? [edit]

Damn, I thought it was the TT (That'll teach me to look further next time) oh well back to the search Thanks for the quick replies though

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120064164578&indexURL=7&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting If I can get my finances sorted I might consider this car, but can someone just have a look over it and tell me if it all seems ok?

I received mine last week sometime, mine also didn't have any stamps on it, not worried though. I just need to find the space to hang it now....

Sorry for sounding non-technically competant but how is it tested? And how much do garages typically charge for it? Thank you

V2500 rings a bell

not sure on the engines, they don't tell us technicians things like that. But we had a couple of dozen of them sent back to us for undersize rigging pin slots. Just to explain though it was our suppliers fault, we don't measure them as they come in with a CoC. Anyways back to the thread, hopefully i'll be looking for a nice tidy example of a SWB manual turbo by march/april next year. Right after buying a new computer and paying off my existing car loan

You didn't hear about the rigging pins then...
