Having been all over Japan last three weeks ... I can report that I have seen: 1 x z31 2 x z32 x,000 x 350z x,000 x 370z Thought I would have seen more of the z32, they must all be exported by now :} I did find a zedcar book as well, although it was all in Japanese. The roads here are awesome, would totally love to take a zed round some of the mountain roads !!! Here are some (z-related) pics!

I have a nice auto TT and have just bought a not as nice manual TT with a good gearbox in it, 1 year old uprated clutch and light flywheel for a grand (engine is not great) in order to do a manual conversion on my auto. Is it worth swapping my turbo's for the slightly bigger turbo's off the manual TT if they are in good nick? Also considering the labour might cost a few hundred quid more if i do this. Will be selling the rest of the manual TT in bits and will subscribe as a full member so i can sell on here. Thanks, Liam.
