My COOLANT hose that is ... The hose shown in the pic attached (thanks ken for the pic!!) is too long on my car - it has a kink in it so I guess not as much coolant is getting through as there is supposed to. I figure I can just cut a bit off the end, but I'm not sure if when I take the hose off whether coolant will spray everywhere! I undid the clamp a little bit and coolant sorta dripped/spurted out - the engine was cold btw. Can I take the hose off without having to flush all the coolant out ?

sweet - it'll take a while to download them all though !!

When I bought my Z at the beginning of this year, it was rusty in a few areas and after several weeks I noticed that the rust was growing - FAST! I installed a little device which is attached onto the firewall that sends some sort of electricity though the entire body of the car. Somehow it stops the rusting process. Since then (about 6 months) I have noticed no evidence of the rust growing at all, except in one area where I *think* there might be more bubbles... Now yes I know a lot of people snicker at the thought, but I would recommend it to anyone. It does however cost a pretty penny - about $200-$300 USD. It connects directly to the battery too, so I don't know if it would be such a great idea if you were storing your car... But ya, I'll be putting one on my next car!

Get rid of those bumpers !!! (no, not those!)

arrrrhhhhhhhhhhhh WHAT !~? Youre so confusing !

duhhhhhhhhh what are colour chips ? :stupid:

Someone posted their Zilvia pic up in the Gallery before... more power but man, it's still a 4-banger !!!

IIRC it happened with the 240Z too...

That's MonarO Mike ! But yeah, teh Falcadores (Aussie slang meaning both Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore - they are practically the same car with a different skin) are a hell of a lot of car for the money... Not that I endorse them or anything - I'd much rather 4 pristine 240Z's

If I had 30k to spend on a car I would get something that wasn't ugly

you're so cool !!!!!!! :classic: :classic: :classic:

That's the SSX - dont expect to see that too soon... Theyre about the same size as the Maxima. Personally, I'd rather have a Falcon http://www.fordperformancevehicles.com.au/

Both!? Don't let that ZG steal the spotlight of the other one! Show us some pics, I know I wont be disappointed

You'd better believe it... the definition of a sports car has changed. That said, the new Z isn't the prettiest thing around, but it is a sports car.

Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog... few people are interested and the frog dies of it.

Mmmmmmmmmm this makes me want to copy it looks like 260 though - not as good as yours Cuong!!! I think if I did a swap like that I'd put on some flares too... I love them Cuong you ARE going to come to Toowoomba next year now aren't you !?

You know what that feels like?

Ahhhh yes I remember that, just didn't notice the "4WD" text! I want one !

Dude 8 grand + 240Z will get you FLYING How good condition is the car in - you might want to spend a bit restoring it to look nice too since you have so much to invest into it...

I got quoted $396 AUD (about $200 US) from the same place Mike... I guess shipping costs a hell of a lot ?!

Please post pics!

Agreed. Old posts are VERY useful! Saves the old wise ones from explaining everything twice...

That's what I wanna know!

But you still won't be able to say you have a GTR motor

OK, I was wondering if perhaps that was a little too late for you Silver and red eh? Nice... I've been trying to get my mum to buy a 156 ever since it came out Her last car was a 164 but the depreciation on those things made her quite unhappy... hasn't wanted an Alfa since (She's happy driving a Pajero (Montero/Shogun)!!! Shame!!!) In all irony, I read recently that the 156 has depreciated the least compared to all other cars in the same category over the last 3 years. And yes, I did tell her that
