I can't speak about the R32 GTR because I've never driven one, but back in 2003 I had a R33 GTR Vspec for about 6 weeks. I put my Zed up for sale for £10K and fortunately got no takers so sold the R33 instead. The first week I had the R33 I thought it was awesome but from then on quickly fell out of love with it. The GTR Vspec computor ruins the drive. You find yourself being diappointed when you go round bends so you just go faster and faster. The Zed comes to the edge of it's traction in a posretive way giving feed back. You know when your arse is on the edge. You have that being on the edge buzz. The Skyline doesn't give you that feed back. It isn't a drivers car. IMO and I know Paul300zx feels the same it is a car for people who carn't drive to be able to drive fast. I remember a particular section of the race track I used to use on my way to work having a bend I had perfected an adrenalin rushed 120mph romp through in the Zed. You could feel the tyres were close to letting go. 4 weeks into having the R33 I romped round the same bend at 140 mph and it wasn't even scarey until I was going at 75 down the motorway and I thought. "if I'd lost the back end there was no going back, but the real scarey thing was I have no idea how close to that point I was. That I had kept going faster and faster and still getting no feed back. I felt that this was not the car for a looney like me because, the moment I found that piont would be the last moment of my life. The Skyline sold in three days for exactly what I paid for it and the blue Zed is still mine "sort of"

Who have you tried? Adrian Flux are usually pretty good.

My quick NA is a real greedy bast**d and uses more juice than my TT running GT28rs tubs and 555 injectors and the hole kit and caboodal. My original TT auto was the best Zed on fuel efficiency I've owned.

So yes UK NA models are really rare. Though if you ask nicely someone could take the turbos off a UK car. The insurance company will charge the same though if its TT or NA as they are both group 20 150mph + cars. So just get the best quality car you can find and then shop around for insurance. Make sure you don't go for too heavily modified cars if you want to keep insurance down. Remember if it is modded get a quote before you buy and make sure you discame every mod or you will not get paid out if someone crashes into you.

I didn't know Vinz was Polish?

If you live in the sticks and got British Gas to supply you with a large subterainial gas tank then had a filler pump nozzle fitted. You could get LPG for you car at 17p a litre. Now no one would really do this because we all want to pay full fuel duty don't we, but if you were a trying to avade motor fuel duty you could. Not that I advercate such a thing.

He is the Loony Muggerling Rapist drunk driver on a walkabout. Thats why the lads at the party pretended to be slaughtered and the couple on the bench gave him money and legged it as soon as he walked round the corner :rofl: :rofl:

"To be read in a hush mental voice". I won't tell him. I understand now why you wanted that Alloy Silver. Anyway just think of the weight savings he'll make :D :D ;) + pure adrenaline rush they'll give him as he nails it out of the corners. Still not conviced about the "Grrr" qualities of the bumpe, but I'm one of those people that actually likes my preconceptions dispeld. So get a move on Leigh and lets see it finished and on the car.

I modded it up from an Old Veiside bumper that looked crap. So Took the hacksaw to it and the jigsaw the got indicator lights from a MkI CRX and stareted fiberglassing. I was goint to build a full body Kit but getting divorce has put that back a while. Soon as I've got things settled I'll be building a proper wide arch kit with front and rear bumpers made in polypropelene. SWB version first though then I'll want someones prided and joy to saw up and make a LWB version.

I wouldn't pass the oil through both coolers though. If you just pass it through the old engine cooler you'll have the added benefit of your rad not trying to cool both gearbox oil and engine coolant. If you use paint thinners to wash out any engine oil residue make sure your get rid of any thinners before you run the ransmision fluid through it.

Why Ztech? Surely the Duff man could have come to you. Or You could have gone to C & S Wood and save yourself 180miles

Hey is that one of Johns wheels there Mr. My only worry about that bumper on a Z32 is that its going to make it look took soft and not hard and edgey enough. But fair play Leigh I Know how much work modding a bumper involves.

I sold him a few bits including a MAF and we had a mini Zed meet. I remember him posting on here saying where the car was having the work done. If you can search his posts for about August 06.

I believe there are 3 in the UK (Sure I read it or maybe a dream). I know there is a Burgundy One, because I have seen it and seen pictures of it on this forum way back in 03. Seem to remember it was up for sale for something like £1,100,000. It is a stunning car and in that blue (the best colour) it looks ACE. Burgundy isn't as impresive.

Yep but that doen't half fubar your Hi Fi Sound.

Yes just blocking off will work perminantly. Just if you get the plenum off then you can block it off from the manifold and remove all the valves and pipes and rubbish that sits in the wheel arches and back of engine. There is a fair bit of weight there. Remember less weight = more bhp per ton

That copper *****cks. They tell you they tell the majistrate and they do you. I reseached this alot about 3 years ago and no where is a frame mensioned. + if it was so how can cars have stick on plates and why don't new cars have plates on frames. Coppers know 90% of people don't know the law and they abuse that. I Once got pulled for doing 70 mph on a duel carriage way. Copper told me it was 60 on A roads. I corrected him and told him it is the national speed limit and that is 70 for duel carriage ways unless specified other. He gave me a ticket and sent it in with a copy of that section of highway code. They still tryed to do me until I told the majistrates that it would sue for full compensation if they insisted on wrongfully convicting me. So they Gave me a caution. I had to get a solicitor to get an apology, caution quashed and my solicitors fees paid.

The other bit I forgot. Which when using stick ones you need to remember is that it doesn't mater what angle they are at so long as they are clearly readable at 64 feet. I used to have all the regs on a laminated card, because I got stopped a lot at first with the plat on my blue car. As soon as they pulled me up i just gave them the card, but one copper was so fooking anoyed because i argued and showed him the card. Then wrote down his number (because he was being abusive) and got my dictaphone out. The barstard took it. It isn't easy stuff to find but search long enough and you'll find the info. + The backgroud has to be reflective to BS standards. Theres a number for that somewhere. The Guys at VOSA were the most helpfull.

Doesn't it make you feel safe. :headvswal :headvswal

only legal on cars made before november 97. Jspec number plates should be 310mm X 160 and lettering should be 60mm high in standard type face accepted for UK number plates.

I have seen them with the bonnet bulge and the wrong way round octipus plenum, but it is a real tight squeeze and must be an engine out job again to work on. So I thought Not for me. I think its a Nissan purist thing. I know they are a fabulous engine and the basis for a lot of race car engines, but for the money the hassle etc I still think the LS is a better option. Just my opinion.

Only problem with the VH45 and it's why I have discounted it for my SWB is the physical size. It really is one big mother. That big that John, Leigh and Leon have to have electric power steering water and oil pumps so that it can fit in the engine bay. That even uses up the space the Rad normally sits. So the new Rads have to be made to fit between the headlights under the headlight nose pannel and the filler has to be remote. Then they have to be dry sump so it sits low enough and then the boot is taken up with a 2 gallon catch tank and pumps and pipes and shit. Where as the LS 1 and 2 is so compact it almost sits behind the centre axis of the front wheels and really helps with overall ballance. The LS 7 is even smaller even though it is a 7 litre lump which is why I'm going for that.

If you go to Turbo Dynamics they'll do you a uprated turbo on a part exchange basis. The New "well reworked turbos" will come complete with all the gaskets needed to replace them. If your just looking at a stage 1 or 2 hybrid they'll proberbly cost about £450 each. Or go the hole hog and exchange against a new set of Garret T25 or T28 ball bearing tubs. That'll cost you about £2K. Other than that their are places like http://www.amzperformance.com or http://www.z1motorsport.com and http://www.jwtperformance.com Remember though to find out how much shipping is going to cost, and what import tax will be before you get carried away.

That is poetry of the highest order. SO SO SO SWEEEET.
