I know in my case it was only 35 bucks, but it was more the inconvenience it caused me. Would be a good idea to start a thread for those effected (only) to list the amount owed, that way theres a bigger picture to see the extent of all this. Also does anyone know how to trace registration plates ? he was selling a personalised reg that i think never sold, assuming he still has it, then a trace would give his new address, possibly... :( Finally, i would expect anyone leaving a house to have forward mail service set up for a while, MAC if you have his address could you PM those effected so they can maybe send something in the post to him ? Mine was a bank transfer so i don't have these details. cheers smithy

BOG OFFFFFFFFF :p thanks Rich, will let yer know mate :) Smithy

Thanks bud will PM him now, though i think Andy may want me to take the whole thing including tailgate... So just incase anyone else know where I can locate this in a reasonable time ?? cheers smithy

Anyone know where i can "quickly" get me hands on this lip that fits in between the rear wing in attached pic ? There are numerous copies of it around the world, originally a bomex lip spoiler. cheers smithy

BTTT, Anyone have any more info ??? smithy

If anyones going this week and hasn't bought an Arena ticket for the Live show, I would reccommend you do :) Not much room for the cars to give it some serious welly and it's dark, but given those circumstances all the those putting on the show do really well, certainly the "steer from the rear" boys with their S15's, 2 of them are modified and throw out some awesome flames :) Oh and it's LOUD!!! Smithy

TBH, an 8" front with either 8.5 or 9" rear suits the Zed well ( most have 8.5" i would guess) 7in wide is deffo too small bud. As for the manuals, haynes certainly make no reference to the Z32 and i much doubt the other 2 do either am afraid, though i personally ain't heard of the other 2 :p smithy

Did either or both yer exhausts smoke before the new tubs work were fitted mate ? smithy

Send me another PM with what JWT stuff yer want mate and i'll look it all up laterz and let you know in the morning before I go away :) cheers smithy

theres no hassle in mapping them at all mate, if anyone struggles, they shouldn't even be doing it! Like i said before pretty much any scooby Gems mapper can do it, certainly the many skyline mappers use AEM so they can too and I know richard bell at risingsun performance ( skyline tuner) has been to the US and done a week long course on AEM mapping. So in short no hassle to outweigh the benefits bud :) Yep you can bin the MAF and don't forget it comes with built in launch and traction control too and is easliy mappable for different things you wanna do. Best thing it has that the other companies don't, is an online back up, if you struggle to understand/use any particular feature, simply ask on the AEM forum and the AEM techies will respond directly :cool: Hope that explains things better.. cheers smithy

Good to see shes back again in the land of living Zeds :) did yer post a chaeque of for the plugs bud ? smithy

The 2nd one (the N/A Slicktop) is from here, i only know cos i supplied the blue pipework :) I think it was in the for sale section a wee while ago too. The 1st one, though the sellers name is wendy, her English is pretty naff !! smithy

You wern't seriously expecting an answer within 13mins at nearly 2am were yer :p The AEM will benefit pretty much any Zed thats being performance modified, however those with bigger injectors/Turbos and even more will benefit the most. When you price up the individual features the AEM has and say purchase from known jap brands, it works out VFM in a big way. It simply fits implace of your existing ECU in minutes, though some accessorries will add a little fitting time. It's a Gems based unit, so pretty much any Scooby mapper can map the AEM, though IMO i'd would prefer to see an AEM trained mapper get the most from the unit itself. It comes with a base Map to get you started as well. You can more details on my website in the performance section :) smithy

Well done in purchasing a pretty good example, mate of mine tried to buy but couldn't secure at a decent price, if yer don't mind me asking what price range you bought it in ? ( cheeky i know :) ) The most common line that leaks is the one right under the throttle linkage and is about 2ins long, fuel smells arn't always the lines, but certainly a god place to start. cheers smithy

Yes mate, usually the lens is different as it produces the light for different reasons. Oh and often the bulb wattage can be different too.. cheers smithy

Well for me, even though am a UK spec, i have enough openings as there is on me new front bumper, didn't want fog lights that i would never use, so thought i would fit driving lights instead so that they would at least get used, though with 99 spec front headlights, i should be able to see where am going :) smithy

Thanks chaps, will speak with Hella next week at the autosport show. cheers smithy

Anyone came across an easy and good fitment of driving light to fit in place of the standard fog lights at all ?? cheers smithy

Oh *****cks, add me to the list then please Mac :( smithy

Does this mean you ain't received a sterring wheel from him yet fella ?? smithy

shouldn't be a problem mate, i see quite often and i'd be happy to ask him to show his face and join in the fun :D like i said, if yer make it a proper zed meet and have a dvd made of it at the trackday, who better to present it :bow: am sure he'd like to be taken for a spin in a decent motor for a change :D smithy

There okay mate, some real nice chicks and if you come over say on a friday until monday, bars would be busy too. Generally the other car clubs try and coincide it with some other motorsport event going on, like the manx international rally, straight liners event, the national 3 day hillclimb event ( anyone can enter) or when top gear are over messing with cars etc anyways if you get a holiday, give the Zed a holiday too so it's like a big meet :D smithy

Nah all come over to the isle of man, shit loads of car clubs do :D No overall speed limit, great trackday and 1/4 mile days , all private if yer like too, you simply hire the whole area. Often close the mountain section of the famous TT course for clubs to cruise/speed over usually trying to catch a traffic cop car!! Duke video are based on the Island so can do a DVD, Jeremy clarkson is over like every couple of weeks cos he has a house here so can be part of the events and host the DVD. Think most clubs pay around 250 -300 quid each for a long weekend which includes ferry over, hotel and hire of the track area etc. cheers smithy

You can use the universal ones bud no probs, if you want em fitted to some hard pipes in the engine bay speak with danny at dta motorsport in the traders area and he'll sort you out. If you decide on the HKS, I can do em for £345 delivered. If fitting BOV's in place of the existing recirc pipes it's a little cheaper to do. Oh btw, Blitz used to do a Zed specific dump valve kit so yes it's highly possible those you spoke to were being honest. cheers smithy

Right I've asked Suffolkzx to pick another number at random from 1 to 24 inclusive, hopefully the winner will spot his number this time as i have not kept a record of who has what to show i am totaly impartial ;) cheers smithy
