On the first Sunday of every month there is a big cruize in Guildford, Surrey. I go every month and it is pretty good. There are about 3 Z that go but we are always well out numbered. Any of you guyZ (or galZ) fancy it. We could meet up before and show some of the GTiR boys a thing or two about true Japaneese supercars. Next cruise is the seventh of October. It would be good the see all your ZX's there. Tim

Evening all! Glad to see you had a good time at TRAX, despite some efforts of the Supra's and Lotus Carlton ... Never mind, more important you enjoyed it. I've managed to find a couple of Shell petrol stations selling the new Optimax fuel (supposedly 99 Octane) and must say that I'm cautiously impressed with the stuff - car seems slightly smoother, especially at speeds. Anyway, that's not what I'm after at the moment. I'm still having slight problems with occasional detonation. It comes and goes but typically is audible at 40mph and very light accelleration or between 75-85mph (any faster than that and the road noise overpowers the engine noise). I'm thinki…

From the supplied instructions I just can't get my head round how this works. Anyone want to enlighten me and suggest settings/use. Sounds like it works to reduce or further boost things but my brain is dead from too much power right now. LOL

Somehow reversed the Z into my neighbours Punto this morning. Doh! Just a bit of splintered paint on the bumper and no damage to his car. Just moved in a couple of weeks back and not even introduced myself until today :-( Just didn't look behind me...what an arse! LOL

What should I be looking out for now I have adjustable boost?

I walked around the whole place and only counted three or four GTR's!!, (there was an absolutely fabulous blue r34 on near one of the burger vans that poisoned the shit out of me - literally!) I think I have been a little bit perculiar after that burger actually. I have read a whole edition of Bizarre magazine in 2 days on the dunny. Bastards. Glen.

Do I need to replace the shocks & springs cause the cars feels saggy on the rear over bumps and lumps feels as if the ass end is wobbling side to side. Any ideas on where to get shocks and springs from???????? cheers

I damaged my spoiler on a *SPEED BUMP* at Silverstone. How stupid is this? a speed bump at SILVERSTONE! Do I win the booby prize? (and judging by the size of some of the boobies, I hope so) LOL Glen hehehe

bought 90 tt import from local car dealer 3 wks ago and yesterday dicovered that the welds on the off side wing are not original + it looks like the door pillar + some of the sill has been replaced. car pulls to the left enough to be a bit of a pain and they're going to look at it thursday. I know the front suspensions dropped a bit because of the inner tyre wear but I'm a bit worried that they'll just set the tracking to make the thing go in a straight line leading to all sorts of strange trye wear. I know there's no real answer but anyone got any suggestions, I haven't told the dealer I know about the repair yet and apart from the pulling the car is cool. thanks for any…

Hello chaps and I'm glad you are all back home safely and no one has been incarcerated for killing a Supra/Carlton/Belmont/ owner I personally thought Trax was ace but what do I know, my car was in the car park. Anyway. PTU's, aw f**k it I cant be bothered to type my question, it was something about my car losing power for a split second a few times on my private bit of the A1 north at 100mph. What would the symptoms of PTU failing at heat soak temps be. God I know the answer so why I asked I dont know. No power. Thanks and that will be all for now Glen

HI JEZ did you get the pictures i sent you?

I remember sometime back there was a post about having some sort of button to be able to have just a single wipe for the front wipers, has anyone ever done this? Vijay

Does anyone know of someone good who can look after my TT in the Southampton area ? Will be doing some work myself but really want someone who knows the cars to give it a service and appraisal ?

Hi Guys, Was my first time at trax and thought it was great, some many cars, so much action and it didn't rain. I would like to thank those of you(can't remember your names, a guy with a grey zed and a guy with a yellow zed)who gave me advice on what to look out for when buying a seconhand 300. I am definately goin to get one soon. Cheers, Dean. Pulsar GTI-R K&N, Mongoose 1 Bar

Check out this post off the 200 guyZ forum... Confused Aunty in a VW Polo...LMAO!

please send it to me so i can make a videoof the whole thing thanks ------------------ I appologise for anything i say that offends you its all in good humor

A long time before joining this forum and hearing people's aversions to the superchips ECU, I had the following done to my Z. Superchips ECU and "de-catted" exhaust centre sections. Turbo technics "stage 1" hybrids. HKS exhaust rear sections. Boost raised to about 15psi. After hearing discussion about different ECUs, is it worth me changing mine for something different? What exactly are the problems with the superchips one? I do keep dropping into safety boost every now and again and I'm sure I can hear occasional detonation even when running Super Unleaded. I can definately hear detonation on normal unleaded. I wouldn't have thought the ECU could con…

Can antone let me know the address of the supra forum ? Thanks Nick

Hi all. Does anyone know of a Z specialist / good mechanic who has dealt with Z's in the West London area?

I thought about the Veilside, and Explosion bodykit, I decided to hold out on those, cause those were both I loved, but I know myself and I know I go through phazes in design tastes, and now I'm glad, I've just put my order in for this kit. what do you guys think?

what's the price tag on one of those?

Does anybody know why the "POWER" light flashed a load of times at me tonight when I started the Z, and then drove like a bag of s#!t for a while after? I know it is somthing to do with the auto box, I think!
