Tell Blipman that :)

I do, on a regular basis. That's why he went and bought an R33 ;) Anything's an upgrade I suppose. Then he got a 180sx and then a Smellsior. Also if you see Ben, tell him I said hi, haven't seen him in over a year now.

I've never met him. Just occasionally interact via the aus300 forums.

I agree on the Z31 for sure. I can't see anything attractive in that car. Does absolutely nothing for me.

Blipman's Z32 was pretty nice I reckon.

What's wrong with a VH45?

LSx's are lighter, cheaper and more reliable.

oh... lol yeah I used to sit about 2m away from him every day at work for a year n a bit. reminded him almost every chance I got.

I've got a nice 300ZX right here for you :P Haha.

:P

Even if it was twin turbo, I would not take it.

congrats, you own the 3rd ugliest Fairlady of all time.

:cool:

LOL!

Only reason I would take a 280ZX is cause at the time, it was hard to a 240Z / 260Z.

I would still prefer a 280Z over the Z31 and Z32.

At least it retained some of the classic shape / styling lines.

240Z / 260Z = all time best Fairladies!

Not much of a fan of the newbie 350Z and 370Z's either.

given a supra, 300zx and a mr2, I'd probably take the mr2 over the lot. fuck driving land barges off. at least an MR2 turbo is zip zip fun times.

i automatically assume anyone driving a 300zx is in their late 30's and working some entry level job (can't afford anything better).

poopra drivers are hard to predict, they're either tossers like 3 series BMW drivers or they're guys who love drag racing but got snotty with the fact that power windows don't come factory on commodores.

Your opinions amuse me and the fact that you are usually spot on.

:cool:

I think you should sell it and the Supra and buy a GTR.

Yeah. Will be R32 GTR or a modded MR2.

There seems to be alot of MR2s popping up for sale now with forged rebuilds and everything done. They're going for relatively cheap too. Much much cheaper than a GTR.

So when the time comes I will look at the wallet and make my choice then. Either way I'll be happy.

I've never driven a GTR but I did drive Chad's GTS-T and loved the feel of that. Have driven an R33 and it really did nothing for me.

I think I just prefer slightly older cars.

Sounds like a plan!

a GTR is nothing like a GTSt. nothing. they just have the same headlights.

True that!

wait till you drive one.

Hell I even got to drive a 200ZR with an RB26DETT and I was like "sweeeeeeeet", started the car and took a corner and went "FFFFFFFFFUUUUU".

first day at cadbury = great success

First task was taste testing cherry ripes :cool:

Picked up 5kg of Picnic for $8, will get a box of boost tomorrow :P

haha you're so getting diabetes.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
