Autometer gauges
Ditto, i sold Autometer gauges for the 1st 2 years i started selling on this board, the cash they are great value for money with not a single issue in the ones i sold, so all in all a decent gauge. Greddy are also really good as are Apexi, downside is cost which can be quite high though quality is awesome. Chrisp could have swore your gauge that was inaccuracte was an ACTecnic one ? cheers smithy

ooooo...Shiny bLiNgY water pipes on Ebay
All they are is stock ones polished mate, you can easily do that yerself if you wanted too, or have em done professionally or better still chromed. Had mine chromed about 4 years ago and i think it cost me 60 quid the pair, whereas polished will either need a coating on to stop oxidising or constantly being re-buffed, which ain't all that easy being where they go.. hth smithy

Posting my intercoolers to the US !!!
I would estimate 30 quid mate and that's by parcel force international land service which is real slowwwww, airmail is upto 2 kg's ( i think) and would cost about another 15 quid. Customs decleartion form required by you ( from post office) hth smithy

After market Dump valves not making any sound
If you have fitted them in place of the stock re-circs, you have blocked of the 2nd tee off which dumps the air back into the system ? if not then they are going to act as re-circs again and not make a noise. Take a pic of the bovs fitted so we can a more definate answer. cheers smithy

New Bodyshop Pics Marble Paint
Vinz, if your getting Veilside mirrors they should come with a connector block already fitted, this block is designed for jap spec cars and simply plugs into your existing block connector from your original mirrors which is behind the door trim, if you are UK spec, you sinply cut off one corner of the veilside block so it fits into your one. cheers smithy

i need advice on hoses
For many of the general hoses and vac lines, i usually carry around 300 metres of 4mm,6mm and 8mm hosing in the usual red or blue with other colours to order. Silicone boost hoses are not a problem with a usual 10 day wait and at around 150 the set of 4 or Rad hoses if you like, though costing more, the ole stainless look better, will never suck in and have any type or amount of tee offs you want added. Feel free to get intouch for owt yer need. cheers smithy

brake discs
I only just priced these up in Skyline GTR size for meself so Zed size would be cheaper but the golds were £235 a pair and the 2 piece anodised reds were £570 a pair, i would expect Zed sized ones if you stayed that size to be £70 and £100 cheaper respectively. smithy

brake discs
Yep the ole Porterfields, think you'll find em just below http://www.smithys-place.co.uk/z32_carbon_kevlar_pads.htm Some of the traders are working on a big brake kit at the mo and i think Danny's at DTA should be good value for money. Personally i like the DBA's Which of course you can get in either Zed size or Skyline GTR. smithy
