The engine number should be stamped on a small flat piece of the block located near the number 5 cylinder, almost directly below the plug for 5, digits are roughly 10mm high. well, that's where it is on mine, correct me if I'm wrong people. Edit: Looks like I got beaten to the punch.

Congrats on the 13.5 man, and a belated Happy Birthday, by the looks of your times if you nailed your launch you'd already be looking at low 13's, with the addition of bigger injectors and more boost you should easily break into the 12's on a good launch as long as you've got enough rubber on the wheel to negate some of the spin you'll get from the added power. But again, congrats on the time, good stuff. What size feet is she wearing at the moment?

What it boils down to is, kids are spoilt. They got annoyed when they only got 300points for collecting something. What the hell is that about? And expecting things to be 3D, psssh. I also grew up with a Commodore VIC20, which was not replaced by the C64, no we didn't get a new computer til my mother won a $5000NZD computer package which contained a state of the art Amiga 500, a computer desk, Star1000 ribbon cartridge colour printer, some games and I think a chair as well. Oh, and an extra 512K (I think) of ram! Now most the games on the A500 were hell on joysticks. We must have went through a billion. That inturn didn't get replaced til they bought a PC after they'd (they as in PC's) finally almost caught up in graphics and sound (almost but not quite), with a 486 DX4-100Mhz. I still think Pong is a cool game. GO PONG!

Heh, that sounds like a good deal Ben, make them see and experience what they missed out on. While you're at it, sit him in a real SX of the 180 or 200 variety, none of this FWD bollocks.

That's excellent, thanks for sharing what was shared, I think I'll have to share it as well.

TKR514, If you really think a wedding ring or a piece of paper would have necessarily stopped it happening, then perhaps you need to look around you a bit more. Last I knew being married didn't stop breakups or misgivings, and you also think any longterm agreement of a financial nature should only be able to be signed by married couples?:stupid: I think you'll find most people have sympathy as they've been through similar situations, if you don't have sympathy for his financial predicament perhaps you have some for the fact his partner, whom he thought he would become married to in due course has left him and is now with someone else. If not then I don't see the point in attempting to state moral highgrounds.

I'll briefly return to hijacking My first car was a 1978 Chrysler Avenger, cost me $300 1600cc automatic, didn't care about the auto because it was only $300, i used to get in the car by running over the roof, if I was on the passenger side that is. Bit of a silly thing to do but .. I was younger then. :classic:

The combined insurance costs are likely to be in the $4billion area apparently, so no doubt insurance companies are going to try weasle their way out of every possible case. It really is a horrible way to lose your home, and the way the reporters hound the victims of the fire is disgusting as well.

The following is for sale on a local NZ auction site, Kit set Datsun 240Z 1:12 This kit is 1/2 complete, needs finishing and painting.

BTW, the current exchange rate is roughly $0.60¢USD buys $1.00NZD

I can sympathise, I've recently been pushed aside by my GF of 3 years, we purchased a car together but I let her keep it, even though I love it, I have 2 cars, didn't make much sense to have a third when she needed one. I miss Nessie, the 1976 Ford Escort MkII, 2 Door.

I've not long ago, split from my girlfriend of 3 years. Well, I'm not going to try be macho, she split form me. So I'm free to spend like a crazy mad man, no-one can limit my nonsensical expenditure! AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHA.:stupid:

Check 'em out.

Yeah, you're right, it does look Ferrari-esque, I was thinking that myself, but yet, not quite but definate similarities.

I'll give the Skyline splice a go, I'll have to find some images in my pile of them so give me some time. But I fear it shall look most disgusting, as much as I love the Skylines, chopping and changing isn't on the cards, the classic ones that is. The Z has a classic somewhat timeless look, hence why it doesn't tend to look out of place on the 180SX rear end. Although each Skyline is pretty decent to look at in it's own right, it isn't really a candidate for front cuts and other such things. I agree, my version doesn't quite look Z enough, and you're right, it must have been a bit subconscious, I was comparing to images of Z's mostly front 3qtr which could also help explain, but my K must have taken over :classic: , the window section on yours looks better and due to it's extra length removes the need to place a rear bumper extension, thus keeping a more classic Z look. However, having said that, I much prefer the slight edge I took of the headlight surround, It's much too harsh a cut to match the smooth lines of the SX rear end and besides, I have to claim some small victory in my 5minutes of photoshopping.
