Springs
I used AVO springs to lower mine, take a look and if you like the height and stance then I'll go into more details about where I got them and for how much etc. They were very reasonably priced! (just getting trumpet out) Jeff @ Zedworld fitted them for me and said they made the car sit the nicest he'd seen a Z sit and I guess he's fitted a few.

Handling Probs
Dazuti.....if your car still has the original shocks then it is a good idea to replace them but if you are doing it purely to solve the "hopping/skipping" thing, jack your car up man, with your wheel still on and check for play, at least you can get this done at the same time! .........come on, don't be lazy! :D (no offence meant -just want you to get it sorted 1st time!)

Handling Probs
Just thought I'd say again, had brand new shocks and springs fitted on rear and car still hopped and skipped like a good 'un. MINE was rear steering joint thingy!
-
Handling Probs
Would duff shocks produce a sideways kinda hop though? mine was doing same and is steering wotsit, jacking up the rear and checking the play revealed this quite clearly!! Well, Jeff @ Zedworld spotted it as he fitted my new shocks and springs. The vibaration (aswell as the hopping) was very similar to propshaft bearing, but on checking, prop was solid.

Advice needed for potential Z owner
I saw just today on Zedworlds site (see LINKS top right) a buying guide, questions you should ask etc, so check that out and I'm sure there is another one knocking around, try a search on it. z32.org maybe? Where abouts in Surrey are you? The best bit of advice I would give is if you're not sure about anything-then walk away, be patient and the right one will turn up!

advice needed on power matters
I'm no expert but would thought you could get your boost up a LITTLE bit more, how you do that is up to you!! Boost controller is the best way.

advice needed on power matters
How big's your wallet? everything from here gets expensive, intercoolers, bigger turbo's, pistons, injectors.......etc etc. Upgrade ECU I would've thought next or boost controller, or both!

Clean exhausts?
Yes- AUTOSOL is excellent. And if you have any scatches on your watch-this stuff will make the face like brand new again!!

Pulp Fiction.......
Have you ever wondered, what did Vincent see in the briefcase? Tarantino filmed the scene in full and then decided to add some mystery. That's why he doesn't let you see in the briefcase. Some computer spud as decided to send out the unedited version (see below). http://viral.lycos.co.uk/attachments/1293/pulpchoc2.gif

How to find if you have a boost leak.
I'm sure this is to do with the coolant temp sensor, can you hear your elec fan running constantly? if it is then you have faulty wiring to the sensor or a faulty sensor (knowing the Z it'll be the wiring!)
