Did anyone see the HKS decorated Skyline R34 that apparently did 0-60 in just over 3 seconds? I'm sure he had a few mods under the bonnet (uprated air filter???.......), but could one of those things really go that fast? To be honest most of the times seemed a little optimisitc, although maybe I'm being a harsh as it's hard to tell exactly how modifed each car is. I still think I should have hauled my (standard)Z out of the car park and recorded a 4 second time though.........

New in the boxes. Dimpled and slotted. I bought these but never put them on. Going to the first 100 quid including shipping. 80 quid for anyone who picks them up from me in London or possibly the Slough meet.

First of all, sorry to everyone who came from the M1, as my directions were out (only slihtly though!!!) Good to meet new faces at last, quite a good turnout, shame there wasn't more in the way of trade stands for Jap cars - it was all neon washer jets and Corsa front bumpers. Still not a bad show though.

I've got an SE Nissan Monza nosecone, and it's just far too low for me, so does anyone have another front bumper (Scarab/Stillen etc that they would swap + a bit of cash? alternatively, if anyone is selling an aftermarked front bumper, can they let me know.

There's been quite a few serious topics raised recently - but it's Sunday evening and quite a few of you will be winding down from Trax (how'd it go guys? - reports expected soon...). So here is a bit of light relief. What is it about these two neanderthals? Every time Lisa tries to think about anything harder than - oh, I don't know - which leg of my trousers do I put on first, her little brow furrows and those hairy caterpillars strain across the intervening distance to make her the monobrow she really is. What day is it? How do you make babies? Should I carry on porking the bloke I tried to shoot? Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tilt, eyebrows. Mark is no better.…

Can anyone out there help me? I've got a '91 TT jap import and it would seem that my cats are overheating as the warning light is coming on periodically on the dash. The car, when it's cold, runs fine. But, after about ten minutes of driving she starts to miss, doesn't always accelerate properly untill I floor it completely when she stutters and coughs and finally shoots off as per normal. At this time the warning light goes out too, but as soon as as I try to drive her normally again, within a short while she starts missing etc. again. I'm also getting through twice as much petrol as I used to...any ideas??

Got Broadband ADSL Modem plugged in and all works well most of the time, however, on occasions it loses the link and i have narrowed it down to the USB port as after doing a couple of tests found that my printer which is also run from the other USB also loses connection. What can i do, does it need configuring or is it a problem with the motherboard ? Any help appreciated. One other thing, sometimes if i unplug the USB and plug it back in i get the link back but not always. Cheers boys and girls. Bob

...anyone seen any - and if not - how come? AndyGP

Do any of you guys know where I can get pictures of the dash warning lights and what they mean for a '91 TT Jap import? The one in particular that I need to identify looks a bit like a middle-box section of an exhaust system with some sqiggly lines above it. Also, how do I enable HTML so I can add pictures?

help i am getting lots of blue white smoke when i put my foot down.it started with a rattling noise at first then that stoped then it started again now when i put my foot down a mass of blue white smoke comes out of the exhaust running T.Tjap import auto what is it TURBOS?

I have a problem in that when im driving the car feels as though its getting starved of fuel i.e , the car is driving "JERKY". It does it in any gear, and mostly uphill. I have replaced the fuel filter yesterday, i have cleaned the throttle sensor still no good. Does any body know what could be wrong, could it be the AAC gasket leaking?? Any suggestions lads would be greatly appreciated. Alex

Looking forward to putting some names to faces, hope the weather holds out!! My Zed, at bit scabby but goes, soon to be beautiful, just hopes it still goes!!! ------------------

DOES ANYONE NO WHERE I CAN GET HOLD OF A DRAWING OR SCEMATIC OF A FRONT BUMPER? sorry for the spelling! cheers jay

Ok, yanks have their faults. They can be arrogant, bullish and stupid, but they have a lot of good points - democracy, no class sytem, equality among races (except Alabama!), belief in sky's the limit, creative thinking, open to new things, Hollywood, Chevy Corvettes, MacDonalds...oh s**t, not that !!! But you get the picture..it's easy for us to pull them to bits. As a nation they have developed more in the last century than anyone. Compared to Arabs and the like, thay are OK. They are no worse than UK people in my opinion, and better in some respects. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Just been up in me attic and I've found a Matchbox toy car.... a DATSUN 126X yes, X from 1973 !!!!!!!! Looks like a Lamborghini Diablo ! Reckon Lambo copied it ! It's rear engined and probably a concept car. It has flames from front to back and is yellow.

Hello everybody, just been in the states for a month, saw loads of Z's especially on the west coast, most of them N/A. I missed my car so much and she felt like a rocket when i got back in it. Needed two rear tyres for the MOT so had plenty of good donut action this morning.
