Well it seems like forever (only 2 weeks) but I'm gonna head up to jeff and get my car back I'm getting all excited, it's had loads of work done and should feel like a different animal. I can't wait for the drive back even though it is almost all m'way, I'll drop a post when I'm back!!

Guys, Took the front bumper off my Z last week to fit filter and dump valves. I'm thinking I might as well replace the oil cooler and rad before fitting the new bumper. Any recommendations on either of the above ? Car is a manual TT import if that makes any difference

Does anyone know where I can get some replacement coilover rings for some HKS coilovers? Or anything that would fit?

I have installed new splitfire coils. New serie 2 ptu and fuel pressure regulator and new stainless fuel filter (40 micron) I have a problem with misfire that starts at about 4000rpm at full throttle. The fuel pressure is at just above 3 kg/cm2 at idle. could the coils be bad?

Have decided to use the Z 'as a car' (instead of a big toy) this weekend and travel from Stafford to Bradford on Avon with my fiancee to see her parents. Instead of using the Citroen C1.The Journey is a 252 mile round trip, mainly M6/M5/M4. So it will be the longest journey I have done in her. I hope to do it on 1 tank which looks like it may be achievable, so I will TRY and take it easy. Wish me luck :biggrin:

Anybody know what size replacement dust boots I be needing for driftworks arms? Found a few people supplying them but driftworks are stocking them soon so they aren't keen on telling me what size I need for ordering elsewhere :innocent: but I've heard "we'll have them in next week" from other suppliers before and I'd like to at least be able to compare prices.

Hi guys :helpsmilie: Does anyone know if the Z32 wheels fit the earlier Z31 as I've just gone and bought one off eBay and it needs a coupe of wheels to tow back home :scooter: Thanx guys Ade

Dave are showing Storage Hunters and in one of the two New Orleans episodes they win a Z31 in a lock up or unit. Don't confuse this programme with Auction Hunters although the format is practically identical. http://uktv.co.uk/dave/series/tvseries/258162 Repeated many times so sure you will catch one of them, just click 'when else is it on' :wink:

Who has done this? is there any things I need to know!!:surrender:

Shes one very lucky girl today. she was getting a bit moody about me chopping her face off so i got her a couple of things

I have recently bought some 19" rims, what size tyres should I run front and back. I have 8.5" rims on front and 9.5" on rear, so I was thinking 235's front, 265's rear, why do some owners go for a 30 profile on the rear, rather than a 35?????

I just put a thread up about a zed on ebay. I wont post it again incase i wasn't meant to. Why was it deleted? (If it was deleted, im sure i posted it..)

Of those that have done a TT conversion, how much did it cost you all in? I know the engine can be bought for £xxx, but all the extra things that add up when doing a conversion, i want to know about. Im weighing up the options of TTing my Na, or selling and buying a TT. Pros of keeping mine... Its an S4, T reg, great condition, no rust that i can see, last owner for 5 years looked after her properly, Na rear diff etc Cons of keeping mine.. I'd want to change the wheels, suspension, brakes, maybe a bodykit... I really cant be bothered with doing a conversion!! Pros of buying a TT. Fair few for sale, get what i want out of the box, im in no ru…

A short video of a lap around the full Formula 1 Silverstone Arena GP Circuit in the MeisterR R32 GTR.* Not the fastest lap time but it was a track-day so passing is straightly limited by consent. It was a quick test to see how well the new SRV coilovers will respond to fast track work, and what better place to test than the full Formula 1 circuit at the "Home of the British Grand Prix." A drama free day with the SRV suspension working very well. The SRV provided a comfortable 2 hours drive on the motorway to the circuit and stable dynamic at the limit on the track; even for an amateur driver like myself.* :) mrM1T3_1XcQ

As title, was coming off the island heading towards Ratcliffe-on-Soar.Looked like a lwb jdm tt.
