MOT query Problem.
all records are stored direct to dvla, once mot has been done, as its all input by the tester, thats why you dont get the old style mot certificate anymore. check with the garage, reg number or chassis number may have been input wrong.

car tax
should be okay, as the dvla database is updated instantly, and shows that tax has been bought before the expiry date. Most plod cars are fitted with anpr (automated number plate recognition) plod wont stop as it will show as taxed, on the other side a ditsy traffic warden might try and go down the route of failure to display a valid tax disc, but if did a ticket argue the toss and it will show as taxed.

I knew they were quick, but wow...
a mate of mine sent me this, dont know if you have seen it before Kawasaki zx10 vs modded audi rs6, playing on the german autobahn. Just to give you an idea, average speeds of 133mph over a distance of 31 miles, time taken under 15 minutes. Both driver and rider must be very confident to keep up with each other. But the audi is brutal, i want one. this is part one of 4 (watch them all) Cant believe how quick they both are.

songs playing while something went wrong with the zed.
there are certain songs that you remember, that when heard, you can still picture a moment in time when the song was playing, such as a me being on a club 18-30 holiday in greece, messing around with a Swedish nurse and blur boys and girls was playing. get the idea!! On my way home shakira hips dont lie plays on the radio, next thing its like im put back in time a few years ago, driving on the express route from rouen to chartres in france in my zed, when a DB7 zooms past beeping his horn, red flag to a bull, and im off, flashing him to get out of the way and 145, he pulls over and to prove a point i floor it, next thing i remember is lots of smoke, engine making a terrible racket, looking at the temp gauge and it had gone past the really really hot bit and was on route to the targas. after i stopped, a few ciggies, lots of swearing, rubbing my head, pacing up and down later, the recovery guy said in his best english "sorreee miss ure, you engine is what you english say...........................................dead, ...................yep it is not well, very fooked............... Hopefully im in a minority here,

I think I'm falling in love
nice motor, but seems to be so many on the roads. dont get me wrong i would have one, but it would have to be different ie with full nismo kit and low and wheels. when driving around in my zed give the usual nod or flash to a 350z driver, and unless they know z history look at you if your bonkers, but som edo respond. my thoughts only so dont shoot me. buy a 350z, because you cant afford a 370z, buy a 370z because you cant afford a skyline gtr same as buy an audi tt as you cant afford an R8. but on the other hand it is a nissan, albeit slower than a standard 300zx tt.

HICAS steering arm bushes

A very sad sight, seeing my zed go away.............
Im filling up as i type this.............:crying: Ive owned my black uk TT for nearly 5 years, to say that its the best car ive ever had is an understatement, in that time ive worked on everything my self, the engine is perfect, and has never caused too much hassle or let me down. Fantastic to drive has stack loads of power, really is a very very good late spec UK zed. But 18 months ago i ripped off the horrid veilside skirts only to find horror of rust, since then i have done the odd bit here and there to sort it all out, but due to other money issues, its had to take the back seat. Ive removed all the rust and replaced with all new metal. Every weekend i start her up, and she is always polished. Its got all new leather interior, but has been sat doing nothing for 18 months, its such a waste of a car. Today is a very sad day as earlier today she left me on the back of a lorry, off she went and even gave me a a little hoot to say goodbye..... goodbye good friend i will always love you..........you are the best........... Looking at the empty driveway where she was just a few hours ago, im gutted:crying::crying: Now its seems like a sob story, but all is not lost, she was on the trailer going to have all the welding finished, and a bit of paint, a few new bits, new brakes and an MOT, hopefully be ready mid to end of the week and back home by the weekend............ All ready to rip up the roads of sussex again..:thumbup: Stu

Back and forth on the idea of a Z32
welcome, trust me once you drive a 300zx you will be hooked, my first go in was as a passenger, in a non turbo, then i just had to get my own, had an auto tt now a late spec uk tt manual. Look at a few, and get the best one for the cash you have, there are some total dogs out there, but also some very well loved ones. If your unsure of any aspect about these cars, post it up, we are a great bunch and will offer any help we can to new guys. Get yourself a zed. Way more fun than Italian........... stu

hid time
Right im going to get some HID's, when i got my zed, i have replaced all the internal cogs with tamiya gears, polished the projectors, and chromed the inserts. but i cant but the problem is i cant remember if i have uk or jap spec lights, basically at the time i removed the original UK lights, the jap ones were off the other car, now hopefully i refitted the uk, but this is me we are talking about, and if the evil stella artois was involved i could have a uk and a jap on my car now. Question is Which HID kit is best for value and which one. it will be 6000k, but is their a difference between Uk and Jap.......ie is UK H3 or H3C or is jap , i know main beam is H1 but that dosent need doing........ which one do i need, and anyone have some good links Happy easter.............
