errors from this forum
Its your computer. I get no errors. I think it is a Java error. Goto Tools Internet Options then Advanced. There is an option called disable script error notification or something. Try that. I used to get this all the time. Do you have Visual C++ installed? Cos its that which messes it all up. Stuart Stuart

Good News For A Change
Insurance companies tend to if the repairs are half the value of the car then its a write off. Good to see someone values the car high ;) Glad for you mate. Stuart

North West Meeting Sunday 29th Feb.
I went down and had a look last week. If there are about 10 of us it shouldnt be any problem. The car park goes along the road but there is a little part of about 15 spaces which which goes back from the rest of the car park. People I have never seen any one park in there, probably because its furthest away from the pub. It will be a nice place for us to park. Stuart

Track days
There was attempts for an all Z trackday in the Midlands on that date, 6th March but the interest dwindled alot. Like Konrad said, only do 4 laps or so at a time. A warm up lap, 2 fun laps and then a cooling down lap. When you are doing your cooling down lap, dont drive at 30mph all the way round thats dangerous.;) Take it easy, drive fast but dont floor it, also take a long time to brake. Brake about 3 times the distance you do when you are racing and dont brake too hard. This will help the brakes cool down correctly. If you dont cool your brakes down correctly it can cause them to blue and even crack which means you will have to buy a new set of discs. What are your pads like? If they are about half worn, they maybe completely worn when you finish. And so if they are nearly time for changing, change them now as the wont last on a track. Same with the tyres. If they are just legal now they wont be when you finish. Let your engine cool down correctly. The cooling down lap will help but let your engine idle for at least 5 mins after you have stopped. Take some oil with you. A 4 litre bottle will do. You will burn oil during your racing round. The its the obvious stuff. Check fluid levels before and after every time you go out. Check tyre pressures. The pressure will increase with the heat but you are looking for big differences between each axel. Most of all dont be a hero ;) If some one is going faster than you let them past. Be safe and enjoy it. Stuart

0-60 time with 300 bhp any ideas
You wont be anywhere near 400bhp at the fly with those mods. The turbos will have to be turned up to 1 bar at least. The Twin pop wont do that much unless you are pulling a lot more power. I also think the twin pop ECU chip is for Nismo 555cc injectors and not stock ones. So if you put that chip in, the car wont run right and could also damage the engine. Stuart

check your fluid level.

Tyres - what brand to go for?
I had falken on my car and for the price they are not bad. They are the same price a Kuhmo and where 10 times better. They are the best of the budget tyres.

Will 265 fit on R33 alloys?
Will 265 fit on R33 alloys which are 9" wide? Or am I better off going for 255? Stuart

What paint?
LP2 I am sure is the Skyline purple. I think it may have been availiable on the 97+ Zs. Look in your yellow pages and find the number of an automotive paint shop. If the paint on your car is in good condition the match will be virtually perfect.

Albertos, I live down the road in Wigan. If you want I can meet with you somewhere and I will take you out in my Z. But I must warn you that my Z is not in the best of condition at the moment and it is about to have some major work done to it so time is limited. Email me if you want. Stuart

red z
Its like the 99spec bumper, I think they where very nice and was going to get one to be different. But they are common. I may be very unique and keep the car looking stock. There are not many of those left on here ;)

ever wished
Hmmmmm. I think you should have asked first. There area a lot of horror stories with people who steamed cleaned their engine or washed it with a hose pipe. :confused: Sounds like this laqure or film is metling stuff or the water has shorted a few things. :cry:
