Rang up Nissan today about new rear anti-roll bar bushes and droplink bushes, ok, £6 & £2.50ea but the axel beam bushes they say cant be bought alone, I have to buy rear floor sub frame, with bushes in it. Is this right? Or what have you lot done, as the sub frame is over £600!!!!!! Another question: Will Jap dampers fit a UK car, as mine are knackered? Cheers Harve.

Go to corsasport.co.uk and goto the forum and just rip the SHIT out of them. All they talk about is "What is the maxium size alloy can I get on" "My blacked out windows look cool" "What lowering kit can I get?" "Green side light, yipee" Just go on there and rip into them. They know nothing about performance, style or life. They spend more than I do on buying the car and even more on moding it and it still looks like a Corsa and drives like every other Corsa on the road Finished moaning now Stuart

Pah, Soup DragonZ forum or should I say BBS(before I get told off for calling it by its wrong name) is hard work! LMAO! Mat Lad, couple of girlies on there, Francesca and Supragirl who may well have been out on the track with you GIRLZ on Sunday...he he he! Haaappparently they were driving real slow aswell...ROFL... Anyway, I got told off for using swear words in post...WTF? Yep, slap wrist, I got told to put a $ or a & or a * in to disguise the fact that I was using my foul mouth! Ummmmmmmmm! Obviously the Soup Dragon brigade are somewhat upperclass to us Nelson commonerZ...ha ha ha! We're a friendly lot on here, but they just snub and take the pi…

Just got a letter from Telematix, the company that is suposedly tracking my car 24/7, which states that they're in "voluntary receivership". My first thought ... oh shit, I hope their service is taken over by someone else 'coz with all these carjackings going on in B'ham I'm crapping myself everytime I drive through the rough neighbourhoods. So I decide to call their customer services: no answer, just keeps ringing. Next stop, sales dept: no answer, finally dialled the theft hotline (which you're meant to ring when your car's nicked) and to my astonishment there is no answer either! At this point I need to change my pants ... I paid the installer £500 for the equipment an…

I'm running 16psi, JWT ECU, HKS Drager, K&N/JWT Cone type filter. What BHP am I likely to be getting because this thing seems way quicker than I was expecting since fitting the boost upgrade. I've noticed on the JWT site they recon 380BHP at about 12psi with their boost jets but I don't have those, only the Blitz DSBC. Anyone got a similar setup and had it tested?

Haqs anyone fitted a baby seat in the rear of yer Z. My baby is 10 months and being a jap import its a nightmare using the front seat because of the door seat belts. If so what model as most I have seen are too large.

Our car is far from perfect. Mostly little things which really gets on my whick. Tell every one what is the most annoying thing about your Z. I start The passenger seat goes all the way back after letting some in the back Stuart

Right, this may sound like a rediculous question...but are the Turbos active in reverse gear? If so, how fast is the fastest you can go in reverse...LOL??? If so, what's the max. boost you can pull going backward? Tim ;-)

Does anyone know where I can get more details about how the BlitZ ID Meter works or what it does? I asked Warren but he just replies with "it looks really good in my car and it does things which are really great!" LOL! LIKE WHAT THEN????????? Is there a website with more techy descriptions of functions etc.??? And no, Blitz UK website doesn't have it on there yet! CheerZ chapZ Tim ;-) P.S. SE are now just waiting for the wiring loom to come in from Nelson and me car will be ready! Yipeee!

Sent you an E-mail M8.

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
