Failed :(
Had my Zed for 3 days and its just failed its MOT. Nothing too drastic, No reserve travel in the handbrake, O/S/F and N/S/F bottom ball joints and the horn doesnt work. Also the lowering springs are not sitting in the cup at the top of the shock and i dont think they are the correct springs for the car. Anyway, can the ball joints be fitted seperatley or do you need to fit the entire bottom arm? A set of srpings have been ordered from whiteline and we shoudl be back on the road by the start of the week. -Barry

Michelin or not?
My works race evo uses PS2's as intermediate tyres on the track and they have superb grip and excellent life expectancy. We can run 2 or 3 full trackdays on PS2's as opposed to about half to a full track day on Conti's etc. You get what you pay for. -Barry

Skylines
As i understand... GTS - Non turbo (R33 is 2.5 R32 is 2.0 but there is an R32 GT25 which is a 2.5 non turbo) GTST - Turbocharged (R33 is 2.5 turbo, R32 is 2.0 Turbo) Both of them are RWD with the exception of the R32 GTST 4 (i think) which is a 4 wheel drive 2.0 Turbo. GTR - The big one, 2.6 Twin turbocharged 4 wheel drive. Things like Type M or NUR are basically just special editions, i think they use the same engines as the standard cars. This is all off the top of my head and im sure there are exceptions but hope this helps. -Barry

JTuner magazine in trouble
I agree, my point was that the "mainstream" mags, and by that i mean the likes of Max Power, Redline, Fast Car all seem to concentrate more on women than they do on cars. Single marque mags are much much better when it comes to concentrating on the machienery. It is a shame to see a decent mag go down the toilet, ive only seen 1 copy of it but certainly had potential. -Barry

Little advice please
It was only cheaper doing a quote for a UK TT. Import TT's are really expensive through Elephant. Import N/A is only about £150 more expensive than my CRX which is pretty good going and almost £1000 cheaper than my old Skyline GTST. -Barry

Little advice please
Hi, I have provisonally sold my crx so i can now start the hunt for a zed. After reading the forum and having a little think im pretty sure i kno wwhat im after so just looking for your input as well. The criteria Budget - £2500 - £3000 Use - Mainly motorway trips up to Dundee and back. Must have - Targas, Manual gearbox Would Like - Leather, Cruise Controll Track Days - no track or drag days So i recon im after a N/A, even though the insurence on the TT is cheaper by around £200 im guessing the reduced maintanence costs and petrol costs will even it out. What do you think? -Barry

saddam is fooked
First off i dont want to condone the actions of Sadam or any other person who tortures and kills other people, HOWEVER i feel i have to disagree with the point made that his trial was fair and square. I mean, the judge admitted he didnt think that Sadam commited crimes against humanity, so they changed the judge to make sure he was going to be found guilty. They have thrown out his legal team on multiple occasions after they made a stand against the unfair comments and arguments raised by the prosecution which, in any other court of law would have seen the prosecution held in contempt at the very least. Furthermore they employed a judge who has a direct relationship with somone Sadam supposedley tortured. Hardly fair and square. Probably not the best post to introduce myself but "hello". -Barry
