Shmooooooooth !!!! :bow:

You found a lady in Southend???? :confused: :D I've not been there for a very long time........... I used to go to TOTS nightclub when I was a teenager, living in East London.........Some of the girls there, then........ :shock: :cool: Soooo many memories, I just can't remember their names :tongue: :slap: Richard ;)

Hi RC In view of recent threads, you may get more response by spending the first £20 on a subscription....... :rolleyes: That's the only advice I can give, I'm no expert on tuning :cry: Richard :)

I got exactly the same comment when my car was being valeted last summer. The little boy was about that age and his mum was well fit :D She said, "well, you've certainly impressed him..." so to show her what a nice guy I am, I let the kid sit in the driver's seat for a few minutes just to chat to his mum a bit longer....... :bow: Richard :smw:

I believe it means any wheel with an offset between those numbers is acceptable. I'm no expert, though..... Richard

Nice one Dave.... :rofl: .......but what were you searching for to get to that?? :slap: Richard :D

Yup, UK and Euro were the same apart from that. The ZX was sold in Uk/EU up to the same time, it was owing to EEC regs that Nissan stopped selling them in 1994. There would have been a few left over, hence some 1995 registered cars would exist although rare as rocking horse sh1te !! Richard

Useful to know...... I've just added this to my "favourites" list :cool: Richard ;)

JUst order the Autoleads one from Halfords, mate. There was a thread on this subject a couple of days ago IIRC, give search a try :) Richard ;)

After a hard run, my boost pipes feel hot too, as does the whole engine bay. Temp gauge still normal, though. I also had the same with my old Supra, when I parked up in the garage, you could feel the heat radiating from the whole engine compartment..... Richard

Hi Sideshowbob If you have done the H3 conversion, the best bet is to fit either PIAA platinum white bulbs (£38-ish from Demon Tweeks) or log onto http://www.autostylin.co.uk and buy either Osram or Phillips + 30% 55 watt jobbies (only £14 inc P&P) While you're there order Osram +50% H1s for your main beam....they're dead good :bow: All the above give the light of 80watt bulbs from only 55 watts. I had PIAAs and fitted Osrams just to try them - they were just as good so I left them in, plus they are way cheaper..... ;) Richard :smw:

Sure was a nice day for it.... :hyper: I had to do the Sainsbury's run for the month this morning, so we didn't get far today. :( Still after lunch at the Italian Restaurant in the village, I took my Zed out of the garage and gave it a good wash and polish.......... .......then spent the next hour just looking at it out of the window (and watching my wife working hard tidying the garden.....):slap: :rofl: Richard :smw:

According to Demon tweeks tyre size/rim width calculator (on Toyo Tyres page, if you have the catalogue) 265 tyres should be used on rims between 9 and 10.5 inches wide. Lowering the profile to 40 (ie265/40/16) may be OK, although 255 would be better (use on 8.5 - 10 inch wide rims). say 255.45.16 The trouble is finding those sizes for a 16 inch wheel. 245s are the widest 16 inch tyres I've seen anywhere, as I said earlier if you can get wider they will be fekking expensive coz they are so rare. 255s are common for 17s and upward so prices aren't too bad (I paid £120, fitted, for a 255/40/17 Goodyear F1 before Xmas) I'd stick to stock size until you can splash out on bigger rims..... HTH Richard :smw:

True for a TT (which I assume you have....) It has been shown that fitting pipes of a very large bore on non-turbo cars can actually reduce performance. Richard ;)

On 8.5 inch stock rears, I would say 255/45/16 or maybe 265/40/16. But these sizes get rare limiting your choice of brands and increasing costs. If you want wider you really need to go for bigger wheels. Richard

I've never felt this either TBH, with ZX or previous Supras. What make/sizes did you go for? Richard

Went without a hitch....... :hyper: Plus, owner of garage is a mate and only charged me £30 :bow:

I bought the Autoleads kit from Halfords (not their own brand one) as a special order. It has both the aerial adaptor and Nissan-to-ISO adaptor for the power, speakers etc. Cost me £18 for the lot IIRC One thing to note, if you have the stock amp there is no live feed to power it from the adaptor so the rear speakers don't work.... ......solution, use a scotchlok connector and join the aerial power feed to the amp power feed. Richard

Saw an E reg one for sale in Ruislip today on my way to work. White, going for £2995 Looked OK...... ;)

Go for it, Dave......

Hi Arthur I replaced my UK centre pannel with the j-spec one too - I also don't like the Nippon Badge. I was lucky enough to get a red one from Andy Z, though so no painting needed :D If you want it to match the rest of the car then use WHITE primer. Using red or any darker primer will mean the top coat will end up darker than the rest of the car. Only downside is stone chips show through more when the undercoat is white :( (If you look at any chips on the car, you will see white primer used as standard) HTH Richard :smw:

Most UK cars were probably autos too.... The original buyers of these cars (at £36K ish) from new were most likely late 30s/early 40s company director types. Being a GT rather than sports car (like 928) would also have a lot to do with it..... Richard ;)

Here endeth the lesson... :tongue:

Hi Pete Another lost soul........ :shock: And you drive a Red Auto Zed too........ :dance: Richard ;)

Actually, he probably does.......in a way. He would know which of his goods purchased were zero rated and would pro-rata his sales accordingly Also, bakers often have two tills...one to ring in hot food sales (vatable) and one for cold food (no vat) Ever noticed on your Sainsbury's bills, some items have a * next to them? These are the vatable items so their software can calculate the vat..... Can't tell I'm an accountant, can you ???? :slap: :tongue: Richard ;)
