I Emailed Taka Kaira Inc. in Japan yesterday with a shipping query about some wheels. Would you adam & eve it? Email back today! Oh and they can ship within 6 days...WHEELS FFS!!! From land of rising sun! 10/10 and maybe a few more UK companies who can't even provide that sort of level of customer service could learn a thing or two about that. Know what I mean? Shipping cost isn't that bad either considering the weight! Nuff respect to our friends in Jap land! Cheers Zedster for the mention about the electronic rear aero. Hmmmmm, maybe! ------------------

Guys/Gals, Probably one of the first things I'm going to change on me Z (hopefully picking it up this week) will be the tyres as they are getting low, I'm looking at the Goodyear F1's as i've had them before and they rock, well grip - does anyone else have any good preferences..?

OK, some peeps with JAP imports purchased these from myself. Are they any better?? Leigh

HI PEEPS, Found out that EUROTHRASH is per car, with a maximum of 2 people per car. This makes it much better value. Is anybody else up for it?? There also prizes for the best times overall for the two tracks plus some of the longer journeys between venues. It would be good to see some more Zs. Leigh

has any body used or got the (hks evc ez )model of boost controller or any advise on them ???? http://www.turboevo.com/boost/hks/hksboost.html [This message has been edited by phillycTT (edited 02-03-2002).]

It`s going up and down like a whore`s draws, is this the temp gauge sensor? or thermostat problem? Answers on a postcard please many thanks Ian.

more noticeable during warm up period after cold start I've got a chattering from behind the instrument cluster area. It seems to be coupled to the accelerator pedal, by just pressing lightly a click is heard and felt through the accel pedal and if I hold there it will start chattering away but it also causes the car to kangaroooo a bit. Any ideas it sounds to me like a dodgy relay but are there any relays or switches on the accelerator pedal??? thanx for any help/advice...

anyone on here replaced the standard nissan jap dampers? apparently the jap ones are different to uk ones so did u get nissan replacements or did u upgrade, can u give me an idea of price aswell please.

Hi Peeps, Just about to get my car back after re-spray etc . . . The felt on the edges of my t-tops has worn in some places. Prior to the car having work done the paint had worn away to bare metal cos of this. Has anyone replaced the felt as I just had the car re-sprayed and don't want it happening again. ta ------------------ crazyeddie.co.uk

Hi Guy's If anybody is upgrading to stainless, i'll buy your second hand exhaust system. Prefer performace pipe rather than standard. ( standard too quiet). Anything considered. Cheers Dave. [This message has been edited by martek (edited 01-03-2002).]

Im just curious, couldeverybody post what kind of #'s they make at the wheels?

When you start adding bits to your car to get more hp, how does that effect the torque curve? Say ie: 10 extra ph = approx ? lbs per ft. Anybody know. harve

Hi Guys, I discovered not so long ago that my work colleague has been Moonlighting. Anyway to cut a long story short he's done him self a Porno Calendar for the PC. All pics he's photod himself and he's written software as well. He's decided to do this years for free to see what kind of response he will get. So go on give it a go. Please mention if you come from the 300 forum, as I am going to post on the 200 forum, I am curious who we will get the most hits from. http://www.brave-orchid.co.uk/mainmenu.htm I am working on trying to pursuade him to do a possible Z calendar for next year.
