lost traction ?
Jap tyres are not illegal in this country if they meet the required spec, look for the JS symbol. If the SVA test is OK with Jap Tyres, and they are if they have the required spec they must be OK. Also, does Bridgestone not come from Japan? and so their tyres are illegal????

You could also say that the turbo boxes are stronger, hence the notcheness,, like a TT supra.

detonation with se-chip.
chrisdbx.. If you NEED help/info etc. The LAST thing you need is duff info. Yes he was trying to help, but in his haste he might actually do some damage someday, especially when the "help" he gave was so wrong.

Which one should i have!!!!!!!
Most, if not all of the warranties you can buy are mechanical BREAKAGE warranties, ie if its worn out, abused, neglected, too bad. make sure you know what you are buying.. For what its worth go for the younger car....

Rear Main Seal Leak
There are additives that can do this, and they do also affect every other seal in the engine, but as they only work on seals and not gaskets etc they can be OK. The way they work is they make the rubber, (or whatever they are made of now) expand slightly and so can cure the leak. Some people will say never use it, but I have, not in my Z though. As far as I know they dont cause any trouble....IMHO

Weak point in auto box?
I am not saying an extra cooler does not help. it does. But, your fault, ie REPEATED PLANETARY FALIURE, is I feel not caused by the box getting a bit hot. The planet gears, or epicyclic gearbox is a mechanical means of changing the ratios in the box. And this could be boiled for weeks and not suffer any undue wear as it is a hardened part. The more likely cause of this failure, IMHO, is abuse/neglect/too much hard use. Of course failure of another component, torque converter/needle roller races etc, can contaminate the box and so damage the planet gears. Please do not think I am saying dont fit an extra cooler, what I am saying is I dont feel that the failure of the box is down to the lack of cooler and the failure is just coincidence...........

Weak point in auto box?
Top (third) gear clutch too small for the job really. Many people feel that an extra/bigger cooler saves the box, but I think that in many cases their boxes were on the way out anyway, IMHO.

Z versus Supra
Seeing as I started this thread I feel I should make a comment on Pork's additions to this thread. I like 928's, I think they are very nice, BUT TAKE YOUR UNWELCOME VIEWS ELSWHERE. Maybe we should all ignore him?

Z versus Supra
And I only wanted to know if my Z was keeping up with a Supra about right!

Z versus Supra
Not trying to start anything, just wondering. My mate has a 95 Supra TT 6 speed UK model. I have a 93 TT auto. Standard as far as I know. My question is; when we race he always just has the edge on me, I mean he slowly, as in very slowly pulls away. And if I am on the ball I keep up, just. Is this what one would expect? I ask because I am always surprised how well my car keeps up.... Please tell me what you think

They got that New Super fuel at the local BP.
