Top Speed of an Import TT
Good aerodynamics perhaps? These cars were built for covering long distances at very high speeds afterall.... ......Oh and just over 160mph in my UK spec (supposedly limited to 155). Car felt rock steady as well - much better than my Merc SLK at 120 ;) All on this private test track I have access to, of course. Officer :x: Richard :D

front badge sizes
NO. You have to replace the whole nose cone. I have a UK car and wanted to switch the badges, but the Nissan badge is "London Transport" logo shaped and fits in a hole in the nose section of the same shape - take the badge off and see for yourself! J-spec Z badge is just round. I bought a 2nd hand J-spec nose panel from Andy Z in the same colour as my car for £25. Much easier.... Richard :smw:

why does my auto zx stall EVERY time I hit the brake
Could be the PCV valves. Very common problem and fairly easy to fix. Richard :smw:

NZR: Legal advice
Hey Vini The LAw Society are their governing body. They do have a website somewhere.... However before you contact them you should really contact a partner in the practice to complain about the woman not responding to your calls. Give the firm the chance to sort things out internally before getting the Law Society involved. Richard :smw:

Just Survived Car Crash With My Zx Its Written Off
Sorry to hear that Indy :( Glad you are OK though. Don't worry about the personal injury claims - as everyone has said, that's for the insurance company to deal with. Good luck mate - hope you return in a Z soon. Richard

sorry daft question but..
Sorry to be different here, but I have always read that oil should be checked on a warm engine. Hence why most car handbooks suggest checking the oil after refueling. The main reason is that many impurities are absorbed by the oil - water vapour, petrol residue etc. All these nasties are in liquid form in a cold engine, dissolved in the oil making the oil level appear higher than it really is. Once the oil is warm, these impurities evapourate leaving a more accurate reading of the oil level. This explains why the reading may appear lower on a hot engine than a cold one. Do note though, that the oil in these engines takes a long while to drain back to the sump though...... Richard :smw:

Advice on my written off Zed
Alloys will only add to the value if the insurance company has included them when calculating your premium. You could always buy back the salvage and break it yourself - although you would have to subscribe to sell any parts on here. Best see what you get offered before making any decisions mate. Good luck Richard :smw:

Practical Jokes
I once cancelled a mates credit cards on Valentines Day - the shit he got trying to pay for the meal when taking his girlfriend out for dinner that night :D Then there was the time we nicked CO2 fire extinguishers from school. One guy sprayed my leather jacket and froze a small section of it. After several beers later, whilst nature was taking its course, I snuck up on him when he was having a pee and released the whole extinguisher on his knob...... :bow: The whole line of piss froze and he ran around screaming for at least 15 minutes....... :x: Richard :smw:

Dip Dim Headlights
Don't need to bother mate. I fitted the Roxie Hart kit to my UK spec car and simply connected the wires to the existing loom. When I switch on the side lights, there is insufficient power to activate the ballast boxes so nothing happens until I switch on the regular dipped beam anyway. HTH Richard :smw:

getting the best out of an Auto
I always believed the J-spec car had a tiny auto-box oil cooler whilst the UK spec had a bigger one :confused: Could be totally wrong though - I'm sure someone else will clarify this...... Richard :smw:

drunk,no insurance,3 crashes,no lisence,no stopping after accident and still free???
Should have been locked up FFS - I mean those two chaps caught racing in Scotland (One drove a 300zx) were imprisoned. They both had licences, insurance and never hit anything/anyone :rant: As for the 2 year ban - makes me laugh; he was driving without a licence anyway so that won't stop the tosser driving again :confused: Richard :x:
