Pounces like a Tiger Go Danny Go Don't mean to Hijack your thread, but How much are you doing the spedo rings for Danny?

:D :D :D :D

Very tempted its a dream job, just showing people around and then taking them to my favourite places for lunch and once a week taking 4 profficient riders on a track day a Jereth on 2 stroke 500cc GP bikes.

Would just be a bit worried about being the first to try a new product.

Have you got your bike licence cos there maybe another job going. I'm in 2 minds what to do. It's taking fellow bikers on tours of southern spain. What a ball hache job hey :rofl: :rofl:

Your right I need to escape to the sun and Ride motorbikes for a living. Holy shit thats just the job I've been offered in southern spain + accomodation and £30K chucked in.

I suggest you actually do some proper research. Tell us all what other great achievements Jun have done in the tuning world. Then look at what Coswerth have done and continue to do for many manufacturers including Rolls Royce, Bentley, Norton,Simitar(as in APC's) Vickeks as in (Chalenger 1 & 2 and the desiel engines used on Nuclear subs), Jaguar and Volvo under the Coswerth subsiduary known as RICA). Oh yes and of course I almost forgot Ford. Jun where just cutomers who ask the worlds top tuner (of then) to develop a product for them. That is what tunners do. The customer once he's paid can have who ever he like to make it, but the Tuner RD engineers are the people that are hired to do the innervation. Your going to tell me that Rodney Mugen isn't English as well and that Hondas RD isn't done by his company. That the Mugen F1 engines arn't designed tested and developed in the UK buy Mugen. That any of the Mugen tunning parts used for Honda production cars are not developed by Mugen for there customer Honda. Go on the fact that the Word Mazda is the japanese word meaning a shallow place to cross a river may have something to do with the fact that it is also a wholey owned, developed and invented company by its parent company FORD. That yet again the engerneering development or "tuning" for the Mazda rotory engine came from fords rights bought off Norton Motorcycles. Whos Rotory engine development was done by that niche manufacturer Coswerth angain. Yes Norton were the customer this time. Just as if I wanted a Porsche tuning in the UK I could go to dpmotorsport as a customer. Its not beating some British drum. You said there where no real british tuners and that the Japs lead the way. I'm just explaining to you that your veiw is tainted and totally untrue. Besides the above there's TWR, Hart, Ilmor (make Merc F1 engines and do RD for AMD) Judd (Yammaha F1 engines and GP motor bikes) Paggett, Prosport who build and develop all aspects of the actual Subaru Race Rally cars and loads more including the firm that make the Peuget Rally cars. The worlds Car manufacturers come hear for the worlds best expertise and pay billions for it. Or because we're niche manufacturers? MMMMMMM I think that is a no brainer. Comon think about what your saying. Getting you arse kicked or kicking your competitions arse is worth billions to the motor industry and they will pay for the edge. Thats why they come here. I carn't be arsed doing a search for the name of the Renault F1 engine manufacturer. But guess what they are an English firm as well. Only Ferrari and Toyota F1 engines arn't built in the UK, but more than 50% of their engineers and both Toyota and Ferrari's top engineers are English. Steve Hillen was a works Nissan Sports car Driver, hence the link and franchise. Just the same as Andy Middlehurst in the UK and has done like Blitz HKS and Jun. They have bought in bulk under licence top tunners developments to sell as branded goods at a 30% markup. They invent and develop Nothing. Since the first Patent was listed the Germans and the British account for 60+% of all patented invention. Yes the japanese are much better at organising and putting into practise but we are the best at innervation because all our lives we have to make do or find a way to make the crap we've got do the job we want.

What ? for a F40??? :rofl: I read the R8 was going to be £76K for the small engined car and about £85K for the full caffene.

Looks interesting

Yep but the 840 will proberbly cost that much every year to maintain. My Misiss had a 740SE and it cost about £6K a years in sevice tyres and general maintanence. Made the Zed look cheep to run.

Use your old pipes. Check for any damage first and solder up if needed as they are copper on the UK spec. Then I took the new valve of the Matrix and inverted it on to my old pipes. The control arm needs a bit of bending and bobs your uncle. You could just use your old Valve, but the seal matbe worn.

Thats the baby. Bet-her geeat Borbee too mayal it too ya or at least ask him to get his jenee to do it for him

Its a £10K car and you won't get a Monaro for that. + thet Ford lump will pull 500bhp without supercharger with the right mods. The original Prototype was running at 430bhp without.

Chris this will need slight modding of existing pipes and top pipe valve as its Left handed but easy to do. Thats £84 + shipping.

Very special car, but it'll cost a special price too.

I bet you as much as you like that when the GTR is releast in the UK the golf club car parks will be where most will reside as does the 350z. + Race drivers can drive so the need something nible and agile that they have total control over not a big lardy Skyline who's computorised steering, supension etc makes the safest decision (not the Driver) and that is what made the Skyline legend. It is purely that the GTR Vspec versions allow poor drivers to go fast in the steet racing culture of Japan. The GT and GTS versions aren't as good as the Z for handling. That the problem of not having fat legs. It's hard to distinguish between them unlesss she felt round the knee area. So it was really scarey in my dream because she manage to hold it in one hand while she cut with the other.

Me thinks not. German Iron is leaving the Jap Iron for Dead. Nobody ever seems to answer why if the Skyline is such an all concering motor do it never feature in the GT class at Le Mans or any of the top sports car events. The Porsches and Lambo's are 4 wheel drive with fancy trick handling aids to stop it going about face every bend and some of the Spikers are 4x4 too. Do you really think that people would spend £50K to a £150K more if the Skyline was as competertive. Skyline is a good car but it's not that good.

Please keep it clean :slap: :rofl: :rofl:

I can change my mind. Stop picking om me. I would have had the Noble if her in doors hadn't found out how much I'd spent on the Zed last year. Then my self preservation instincts started me having Mrs Bobbett night mares.

Yep Chris I'm sure you would. You did say kicked didn't You? :slap: Anyway what ever your into :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I'm going to have one of these cars.

Your all asking the questions and overlooking the obvious answers. Which everyone keeps saying and yet carn't seem to see. The car was state of the art when design 20 tears ago and went into production 18 years ago with the VG30DETT which is a revised version of the previous VG30DET. The VG30DET is even older and used in the Z31 So in 1987 when the Z32 hit the drawing board Nissan where already tuning an old engine. Someone here also said that Nissan won Le Mans with the VG engine. Well no they didn't. Steve Hillen (founder of Stillen Motorsport) won the GT catergory with heavily reworked VG. Nissan actually won Le Mans with the VH39 which is a V8 and a second rework of the earlier VH35 & the Basis for the VH45. The top tuners in the world are in actual fact based in the UK and the contract tunner that did all the work on the so called Japanese world braker Jun 300zx was in fact Ford owned UK based Tuner Coswerth. Who make all the Jun internals and did all the turbo flow specs etc. The rest of the Jap tuning world follow the Jun(Coswerth) lead and it is infact the Japanese and the Yanks that haven't come up with anything new. They apply the same formula to all the cars they tune. The Germans invented superchargers in the 1920's and Bentley inveted Turbo charging a few years later. Thats all the Yanks do bang bigger Turbos or Superchargers on a even bigger V8 or V10. The Bentley brothers and Merc were the people that invented balance cranks, slipper pistons etc. I remember seeing a 1930's Whites Healy Tourer. It was a 4.ltr V6 with twin overhead cams, bucket and shims over dual tension valve springs. It pulled 98bhp and could do 120mph. The japs know nothing about tuning their just good at taking other people ideas and making the kit a bit better. The reason that all the Indy car engines and most of the F1 engines and bodys are made in England is because the UK has the best tuners in the world. Also most people that want to have high powered cars go and buy just that and then tune them. I have a friend who make a living by tuning and preparing Porshes for racing. 900bhp isn't Navarna for these guys it being competertive. So why don't you see them at dragg strips blowing the Skylines into the weeds. Well most racing drivers or people that like to race see hurling a car down a stait as pretty pointless and not much of a test of there skill, inteligence relyability and also a test of the most important part of any tuning exercise the handling. I also think that its a different mind set. If drag racing realy is your ultimate test of a performance car get a jet engine and fasten it on the roof. It'll pee all over ya skylines etc. Or buy a Katrum and bang a couple of Hyabuza engines in. That would do the same and out handle them etc The Zed is a stylish clasic sports car with power and presance that can be made quick. Its a fun to drive club car and very macho in the samevein as the AC Cobra. If it ever was a super car it isn't now. The reason most don't work properly is because people are trying to make it what it isn't and doing a lot of pointless "tuning" as bragging rights rather than looking at it as a refurb and upgrate or trying to run it on a shoe string and banging go faster bits on it when it's not in the best of health. How many Zed on this forum still have 11 + year old rubber pipework on their cars. It's past its sell by date going porous and splitting etc. Please poeple get the basics right first, but that what they want to do they are entittled to if that rings their bells. :rant: That feels better

Don't know. Not really paid much notice to it other than it has the same appearance as a lamber and just assumed thats what it was. It's a Ford Durratec 2.5 lump of crud and not very exiting. How does the ECU read and ajust the fuel air values then. MAP sensor?

:nelson: arn't O2 and lamber sensors the same? cos this Truck of mine looks like its got a Lamba sensor in the Exhaust.

You'll be OK though because you didn't vote so they have anti O2 contaminates in your cars. Hey Paul is this affecting the Deisels as well?
