Have these now been sold?

I am still hoping to be able to come along on this run. Will let you know if that changes.

Cheers

Jim

wow what a day!! You all missed out!

 

Massive thank you to Alex for all the help he gave before the event with spares and actually on the track. I was actually terrified and terrible at first, locking up going into corners and losing the back end. Within a few laps the with the site stig he had me actually driving without any skidding or tailspin. Towards the end of the day the track dried up and I actually got very comfortable and managed to explore some of the cars potential.

 

Also thanks to chris(greekman) and Alex for entertaining Nicole(and me) with some wild driving while she was in it.

 

Awesome day and can't wait for the next one!

 

Cheers guys

+1 to all of the above, and I'm sorry I had to leave just as the track was drying up this afternoon. Many thanks to Alex for the passenger laps - what an experience, and that was him taking it easy! I took some pics.....

Neil contemplating his first few laps and how to improve his technique!

Alex showing us that the filthy weather shouldn't be a hindrance.

It did get better later on -

And finally, a couple of shots of the mini-meet, including the brand new custard.

Ok folks...need to know about food requirements...can probably do BBQ for £3 a head...it won't be as fancy as the last one will basically be burgers and salads and I can't get there before lunchtime so you won't get fed until about 2pm

Any special needs foodwise and are you happy to cough up £3?

Still hoping to manage along, and no problems with the £3 BBQ.

I can't make it for the whole day but will definitely come along for some of the time.

Get a tin of Comma Air Con Cleaner from Halfords and follow the instructions - not cheap but usually works a treat.

I might be able to come along on that date, though I'm not so sure about taking the Z on the track.

I'm also not sure I understand what the offer entails - is it £175 for the day if you want to take your own car on the track?

Steve - do you know what type/size of brushes are required. I would rather get them before I start stripping the motor.

 

Sorry mate I don't know the brush sizes, I never needed to go that far.

Unfortunately to get to the brushes you still need to strip the motor which involves a bit of soldering and unsoldering wires (2 or 3) but looks easy from when I looked.

 

Cheers

Steve

Thanks, Steve. I think I may have a go at it anyway in a couple of weeks time when my mate gets back from holiday - he's more confident than I am at these things!

Cheers

Does anyone know if these work with Mac computers as going to order some but dont want to if it doesnt work with my computer.

Works fine with my iMac.

Steve - do you know what type/size of brushes are required. I would rather get them before I start stripping the motor.

The driver's side window motor has completely given up the ghost and a new one is required.

 

Nissan want to charge me an absolute fortune for a new one and was wondering if anyone knew of any reputable spares firms around the Birmingham area or where I might pick up a cheaper new one?

 

Cheers.

Join the queue! I'm waiting for Alex or Lee to get more in stock at the moment.

I hadn't considered the US route, but at that price for a new one? Mmmmm.....

JDM a trader on here sells them new and cheaper than Nissan. I am not sure if you get an extra discount or not for being a member.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had forgotten that Chris does the motors too.

Still a bit dearer than Lee or Alex, though. Think I'll wait and see what they come up with.

Have you tried servicing your current one ?

Yes - did that when I replaced the passenger side one, but I think the commutator or brushes must be gone this time. It definitely needs a replacement this time.

tried R35LEE?

i thought he had loads?

Not at the moment - I pm'd him at the same time as I posted here.

Nudge.

Just a gentle reminder to all that I am still looking for a motor.

Well done Vicky. Hope to manage to more meets in future.

Great work guys. That's what makes this forum so good.

STAY AWAY FROM HOSPITAL!!

An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements and so on. Eventually, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship.

'How do you feel about sex?' he asked, rather tentatively.

'I would like it infrequently' she replied.

The old gentleman sat quietly for a few moments, adjusted his glasses, leaned over towards her and whispered -

'Is that one word or two?'

It's a Ford.

Check carefully that your terminals have not already been changed to the UK type by the importer. Mine had been and I failed to check that before ordering a JDM battery, which I then had to send back and replace with a UK type. To be honest, the JDM-type battery seemed OK to me, and I would have happily used it if I had to. I got it from this company -

Anybody got one of these they want to part with? Don't seem to be any appearing on eBay at the moment.

I don't think you will be able to source them in the UK. I think a few members have bought stuff from CTD over the years without any problems. They're not cheap, though!

How did you get rid of the date/time stamp?
