That Ozzy Guy

Umm, wow. You know what, take some advice from Carl. To quench your curiosity, I've done none of those things and if I ever become a politician, someone please shoot me. I did not and would not waste my time researching and writing about a sad little man like Bush. All I did was copy an email and paste it here and you have the nerve to attack me, question my life's achievements & call me a nobody. Thanks mate. Maybe what we need is for Mike to remove the 'Funnybone' if people can't understand the definition of a joke. For those that don't know the definition, look here. Sorry if I'm putting fuel on a fire but I don't have to take this from someone that obviously does not know me.

The whole story. I dumped it in first about half an hour before it broke off and I heard a loud bang from the back. This was the initial crack but the uni held on so I drove it home. I drove for around 3km before the half shaft came off. I was at the lights and was taking it very easy when all of a sudden I heard a bunch of crunching which I thought was the diff gears. The car came to a stop naturally and trying to move it again was painful to say the least. The shaft would just turn and hit stuff around it. Once we got it on the tow truck we realised it was the shaft and not the diff. My night and mood improved after that. :classic: I think the wise thing to do would be to upgrade them to CV's in my case before it happens again. Any help on how I go about doing this would be fantastic.

With my father's help (and his name) was elected Governor of Texas. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: I changed pollution laws for power and oil companies and made Texas the most polluted state in the Union. I replaced Los Angeles with Houston as the most smog ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas government to the tune of billions in borrowed money. I set record for most executions by any Governor in American history. I became president after losing the popular vote by over 500,000 votes, with the help of my fathers appointments to the Supreme Court. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: I attacked two countries. I spent the surplus and bankrupted the treasury. I shattered record for biggest annual deficit in history. I set economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period. I set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market. I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner. I am the first president in US history to enter office with a criminal record. I am the first year in office set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history. After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over the worst security failure in US history. I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips than any other president in US history. In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their job. I cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any president in US history. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history. I set the record for the least amount of press conferences than any president since the advent of television.

I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have. I cut healthcare benefits for war veterans. I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history. My presidency is the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history. Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (The 'poorest' multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice has a Chevron oil tanker named after her). I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously go bankrupt. I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud of any market in any country in the history of the world. I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United Nations and the world community. I created the largest government department bureaucracy in the history of the United States.

I took the biggest world sympathy for the US after 911, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).

I changed US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I set all-time record for number of administration appointees who violated US law by not selling huge investments in corporations bidding for government contracts. I failed to fulfill my pledge to get Osama Bin Laden 'dead or alive'. I failed to capture the anthrax killer who tried to murder the leaders of our country at the United States Capitol building. After 18 months I have no leads and zero suspects. In the 18 months following the 911 attacks I have successfully prevented any public investigation into the biggest security failure in the history of the United States.

While we're at it, how much for the CV's? Might as well upgrade it now.

Hey Gav. You are right, they are Uni's. Here's a photo. You can't really compare the two. It's a totally different ball game. It's like sleeping with a fat woman and sleeping with a gorgeous sheila. You'll come either way but with the hot sheila you'll enjoy it more and it'll be over faster. Umm, does that make sense? So how much are one of these Uni's?

Hi guys. About an hour ago I busted up my first half shaft. There was a scary moment there when I thought it was the diff. So it's a long weekend and my car is off the road. Bleh. I'd like all those questions answered too Ivan. I have a feeling that I've got the 280ZX CV's but I can't tell. I'll get some pics tomorrow (too dark now) and gauge the full extent of the damage. How much am I looking at for the 280ZX CV half shafts anyway? Cheers

In VIC you have; Z Shop 9885 3366 Zworx no number, search in yellow pages Zextras no number, search in yellow pages Datrats 5966 9550 D N T Automotive Wreckers 9357 2999 Nisszed Spares 9710 1091 In NSW try All Z 02 9484 8257 (he's in Japan atm so ring him on Tuesday 10/06) All Z 16 02 9831 4734

If you can't find one Chris I'm sure you'd be able to make one. At least it'll be brand new this way.

Only if you get the ones that do not require any drilling.

Your galery is automatically created once you join. All you have to do is start uploading photos just like Mike said.:classic: Welcome to the club.

One by one Rick. Let us know if you need a more detailed guide.

Hi Nigel. If the sun visors are the same as those on a 240 then I need a set to pass an engineers report. Condition not a concern. Cheers

Sounds like you had fun Rick. Can't wait to see some of the photos.

[evil voice]You'll be back. Oh yes you will. muahahahaha[/evil voice]

Thanks Carl. I think I'll defiantely get one. Will come in handy when car shopping in the future.

Sorry to jump in on your thread like this but I wanted to buy one of these gauges and was wondering how much they are? Keep in mind I'm in Australia. Cheers

The short of it is, to be legal the tyre width has to be a maximum of two inches wider than what the car came out with originally. Sooo... I'm looking for something that says the '73 240z came out with 205's as an option. I don't like my chances.

Aargh. I'm screwed. Why couldn't it be 205? Did they ever come out with wider tyres as an extra? It's a sportscar for God's sake. How can it be sporty with 195's? :disappoin Thanks Geoff

ROFL Classic. I've heard this one before. Love it.

Rather than starting another thread I thought I'd hijack this one. Hope you don't mind. I need to know what the original tyre width the 1973 240Z's came out with on the back for engineering purposes. I think I might be in trouble on this one. :disappoin
