Fast Car has just brought out a lovely little catalogue of all things modificationable!!! It costs a funfer but in my opinion it's well worth it, having all at yer fingertips etc. Not only that but some top totty in the first, most important section...Top Laydees! Yeah baby! Also, I was well chuffed to notice that in the wheels section someone has cottoned onto the fact that Neeper alloys are in demand from the U.S. and has started selling them...TOP BANANA! So that guy that I met at Billing may have had a wasted trip all the way across the pond to fetch a set of FlyZ coz that's one of the wheels they're advertising! Get down to yer nearest Newsag…

Before semi-automatics machine guns, joyriders and crack ....Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... Way back.... I'm talking about Hide and seek in the park. The corner shop, Hopscotch, butterscotch, skipping, handstands, football with an old can, Bulldog,Beano, Twinkle and Roly Poly, Hula Hoops, jumping in enormous puddles,Building dams. The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. Bazooka Joe bubble gum. An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays a tune - 99's, screwballs or a cider lolly. Wait......Watching Saturday Morning cartoons...short commercials, The Double Deckers, Road Runner, He-Man, Captain Caveman, Swapshop, and…

Hi All. Fantastic forum! I purchasd my 300zxTT a month. Lovely car, what I always wanted. However, I have noticed, that the car seems to have a mind of its own somtimes. When driving at normal/legal speeds, the car seems to be unstable in that it is sometimes difficult to drive in a straight line. It's a little worrying a its seems a little unsafe at times. Also, the car tends to swerve a little under braking. Is there something I can do about this ? Pls help!

Just seen it tonight on a pirate, dont think its out over here yet. If you wanna see lots of tuned jap cars being thrashed to death then this is probably the film for you. Paul

I have a 91TT and I want the AVC-R. In US, I see prices around $450. I also see harness ($20), engine side harness ($39) and pressure sensor ($75). Do I need all those parts ? Thanks ! Zex - Belgium (sorry for my poor English !)

Forgive me if you've seen this before... I is a Newbie http://user.tninet.se/~bjx414c/jackesnissane.htm Peace....

Got one on order with Johnny da main man. Are they easy to fit and will I need any extra bits to do the job? I think Johnny said they usually only come with Jap instructions but he's trying to sort me out with UK ones... Also got Blitz Boost and Water Temp gauges on order. Boost gauge sounds easy enough to fit but what about the water temp? Does it come with it's own sensor or use the existing one. If it has it's own sensor how/where does it fit? I have a JWT ECU and their website states: Boost Increased to 12.5 PSI (13.5 PSI flash boost) What is flash boost and does this mean I cannot go over 12.5 PSI on the Blitz Controller? What is the safe maximum…

Very nice indeed... Tim ;-) [This message has been edited by Timmy_Turbo (edited 29-08-2001).]

Hi All, Go over to www.zcentre.co.uk , to see the latest offerings from Luke Borg. Items include : Carbon Fibre/Aluminium look trim kits Leather Interiors Samco Hoses S/S Brake Lines Also there's a new car added to page 4 of the gallery with quite a unique bodykit. Regards, Martin Walton P.S. Anyone waiting for news on the brake discs please accept my apologies. Not only have I been snowed under at work but DBA are manufacturing new castings which, with testing is going to take 8 weeks.

Anyone got one of these, How do you rate it? Just how annoying is it with a radar detector going off too or do you not use one anymore? yes, I feel some kind of order comming on... just working out the options... Seams OTT to have a row of Morpheous, radar and jammer boxes... the funny thing is I last got done by a cop timing me, no protection against that... Unless anyone has a smokey detector like in Cannon Ball run? ------------------ 8587263

Hi, Who already has this unit. I have an old snooper SRD from many years ago. It's short range on detection, I don't want laser detection as I think it's useless and the laser jammer is the answer too that. So, my quetion is, if I only wanted to upgrade to loose all the annoying false alarms would I be wasting my money. Currently i get various bleeps in town, all service stations detected, all traff lights, especailly ones on the roads crossing motorway bridges! Cheers, Jez.

My '91 TT auto uk spec makes a weird clicking/ticking noise which rises with the revs until the engine is warmed up. I've had the air con, fan and power steering belts change three weeks ago. There were squeaking noises initially but once they were re-tensioned, the noises disappeared but this new ticking seems to have been introduced. Could it be that one of the belts still needs tightening? I don't think it's the turbos because revving the engine in neutral doesn't produce the ticking sound. Oh, the noise comes from the engine-I can't make out where precisely since it only ticks when the car is in motion. Unfortunately I can't get anyone to running fsat enough alond si…

I tink me starter motor phucked 'cos now & again in don't start the engine just makes a crunching/schreeching noise as though it's not engaged with the flywheel teeth, stop and retry all is well????????? anybody had any similar prob's?????? cheers Jon.......

Tonite on my way back from the Pile of Wight I had a fright (well i didnt but i like the sound of the sentence). Now dont tell the Narcs but I hit the A1(M) at Peterborough (the best goddam road for going fast in a straight line ever!) and I thought well why not, it was almost clear and I had the outside 2 lanes to myself. Floored it, whhoossh nice - straight upto 140mph, then - eek !, no power. Guessing I hit some bizarre speed limiter? Not releated to revs - my car does stop working at 7001rpm rev limiter, But I was in 5th and not revving too many rpm's. Hmm anyone know how to undo this thing, wierd I have heard about 62mph and 112 mph limiters on JAP's but no…

I am fitting 330mm AP discs and was wondering if anyone has had experience with overheating or warping.Any help would be appreciated cheers!

Anyone got one just lying around that works? It can be in MPH or KPH- I'll pay =P just let me the cost and the rate vs the US dollar. thx. Email me

Hi, I was considering to buy the "racelogic traction control system" (group Buying etc..)...so I asked my insurer, ADMIRAL, about it....and after some talking and a call back from them they said:.....If you fit traction control to you car we won't be able to insure it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the F**k!!!!!!!!! This is because they say that traction control also improves PERFROMANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then with traction control the driver could be pushed to go faster around corners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IGNORANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I plan to do some mod and take my car from standard to something …
