I got mine from http://www.stranoparts.com for a really good price (the amount escapes me at the moment!) I can't give an opinion on these pads as I still haven't got round to fitting them yet. But, I'll take Mac's word that they are very good :cool: Dave

Paul, I totally agree with your comments about being part of the !master race!. Another red, manual owning Northerner :D Dave

Almost reminds me of that scene in "Cool Hand Luke" where that chick is washing the car in front of the prisoners on the chain gang :D:D:D Dave

Some nice pics mate! :cool: Sorry to 'hijack' your thread, but here's a couple of pics I took. Quality isn't great; taken with a Nokia 7650:- Line up front Me and Stu Green Graham Line up rear Latz power! Dave

Nelson, I think the 4wd system will add a lot of MASS! :rolleyes: :D I agree with Dilbrain, Skylines look impressive (I prefer the look of the '33 to the '34 though) but they don't have the beautiful lines of a zed. It's like comparing Denise Lewis to Fatima Whitbread; both athletic, one is sexy and the other is, well, erm... 'butch' ;) To the average person in the street, I'm sure a zed would get more 'rubber necks' than a Skyline. Awesome cars all the same though :) Dave

It may be that your brake pads need changing. Mine is making this noise- the sound is made by a wear indicator which rubs against the disc. A damn site more annyoying than a little red light on the dash to show the pads need changing :rolleyes: Dave

Yeah Stu, it was a good one. Thanks for organising it all :) Where's those pics then- you posted this message 2 1/2 hours ago and I still don't see any :rolleyes: :p Dave

I got mine done for £220 including belts, labour and VAT. This was about 2 years ago. Good luck and welcome to the site Dave

Just heard that one British tank has fired on another one. We've lost more men through accidents & "friendly fire" than being shot by the enemy.

lol- I don't see how they can call it "friendly fire" there nothing friendly about a bullet/bomb/missile heading towards you! BTW- the 'real' term is "Fratricide" Dave

Spot-on Dave

You're spot-on Stu, this war is a 'necesarry evil'. In my opinion, we let the Iraqi people down back in '91- we should have continued all the way to Baghdad and got rid of Saddam. You only have to hear these reports about his henchmen firing on their own countrymen to realise what kind of a person we are dealing with. I just hope that the allied forces can support this uprising in Basra, which will help the Iraqi people free themselves from the 'shackles of oppression' (to coin an over-used phrase!). But it'd be even better if this conflict was terminated by a BGM109 Tomahawk up Saddam's arse though :D Dave

Looks the part m8 :cool: Dave

According to my invoice it is a 3053740P00 PIN-BALL,WITHDR £5.80 plus VAT. I also had a 'B' service which brought the total up to £418.01 FFS! :mad: Dave

Cheerz Andy, thanks for reminding me! Anyway, I'm off to pick it up shortly :D Dave

I'm just relieved that no-one was hurt :eek: Dave

Now, EY, EY- I'm the one who's qualified to say 'calm down, calm down!'- cos de do do dat do don't de do? :D Dave

Wish me luck Chris- I've just bought a can of red lamp tint from Harry's and will have a go this weekend (weather permitting!) at painting my indicators/reverse/fog lamps like yours. :cool: Dave

looks good- now where's my toolkit :D Dave

Agreed Iain, Peter is a top bloke and will do a great job on your zed at a cracking price! :cool: Dave

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Trev, I hope you're sorted ASAP. If you go to PPS, Peter will have it looking as good as new :cool: Dave

I suppose what you have to consider is that you will only ever have a bodykit fitted to your car once; apart from a couple of unlucky people on the forum who have had botch-up jobs fixed up. (Vijay/Tezza?). I could not recommend PPS highly enough- the extra money you pay for travelling up to the North East will be more than offset against the savings you make on his low prices, and also knowing that you will get a good, no, actually I mean GREAT job done! :cool: He's done around 15 Zeds now :eek: so he has plenty of experience with them! Good luck whatever your choice. Dave BTW, which kit are you going for?

Driver side up arrow is the only illuminated one on my '94 UK spec. Dave

Good choice Warren & Roy, well worth the journey 'oop North! Peter has done around 15 zeds now, I think that says something about his reputation here- top man :cool: Dave

I have the Z Centred 'strosek' rear lamp conversion, there are no reflectors in the lamps, but I still passed an MOT. Dave
