Hi folks, i sent my zed in for a full blow over after fitting the new spoiler and bumper and when i picked it up it seemed excellent. Its only now with the better weather and different lighting i noticed that i can still see swirls in the paint - although very feint it is consistent all over the car (almost like extremely light scratches). Is this to be expected or am i expecting too much. I did approach 3 or 4 places for the price which was £1500 (not inc vat) which they were all about that price - but he was recommended. Any views or advice greatly appreciated.

Just been looking on the "US vs Japan vs Europe" comparisons list. Does anyone know what the crack is with this restrictor, is it a major issue on jap cars??, just wondering if i should look at having it removed... Thanks Chris

Ok i'm guessing this is normal but just want to make sure... Since installing my apexi avcr and upping the boost to around 1bar i've heard the turbos spooling up more. I don't have a dump valve(s). You can actually hear the turbos working where as before you couldn't with std boost. I take it this is normal as they are working harder. Or do I have a boost leak or are my seals going? It's quite a sharp sounding tsssssssssssssssssshttttttttttttt

There was a sensor on the window blower vent on the pass side. Looked like a light sensor, but what uses it?!?!?!?!?

The windows at work all have motion sensors on them, they are really anoying and go off whenever you open the window or bang on it etc. I went to fetch the Z from the other secure car park as ours is now emptying out, parked it in a reserved spot just outside the office. My boss says they are reserved for higher managment only and I will be shot for parking there. :x: I said i will move if i cant set the alarms off with my exhaust, he says ok and I'll bet you a tenner. He now owes me a tenner! :dance:

I've been contemplating getting the r33/34 gtr brembo caliper setup. I spoke to someone who owns his own tuning/engine building company the other night and he told me not to bother. He said that the 300zx brakes are what the 200sx etc owners upgrade to and are not that bad. 4 pots already. He told me to try going for some better pads, discs and lines with a fluid change. My brakes at the moment feel like crap and i'm going to need to change them relatively soon. Almost feels like I have to stand on the brakes to get them to stop the car, which is one of the reasons i'm not driving my car as I should be at the moment. What are peoples opinions …
