UK Spec Front Seatbelts......
I've had a good check and although u can retro fit the reel part of the belt there is no thread to fit the top part of it even though there's a hole there! It could be poss to put a nut behind it but it's all covered with ALOT of metal and trying to get a nut up in there will be one big pain in the ass and not worth the hassle in my opinion. Though you never know, they might have left the thread there! I've only checked on an NA car and my old 91 TT.

No problem mate! I only wish that there was more people on here who would help when a thread is posted!

R33 GTS Skyline - any variants?
All that I have listed are for the R33 and not the R32/R34. Facelift models came in at around Jan 1995, though there was a 3rd revision to the R33 series which I haven't listed which was introduced a year later in Jan 1996. Models where given a slightly different name from 1996 onwards but I dont think it changed that much, a Type M Spec I and Type M Spec II was added for the 3rd revision as well as a Type X (in both 2.0L and 2.5L NA). No idea what the difference was though as the power output was pretty much the same! Prob just trim level.

Classic car insurance
I would forget trying classic insurance at 18! Not until your almost 30 that is! As I've found out.

new skyline
It's not a Skyline. Just Nissan GTR. I guess they are just going back on their roots when Skyline and GTR was two different cars.

Autobox wont go into gear after install a Turbo Timer
Am I right that after pulling the little plug behind the ignition so I can release my key while the turbo timer is active that if you are starting the car up, it wont release the autobox when you press the brake pedal? I have to use the little lever at the back of the autobox stick to get it into drive! If not then errrmmmm how do I fix it? Saying that I might just keep it as it is, as it'll prob confuse the hell out of anyone trying to nick it. One more thing, where the hell is the shift lock wire? Or at least what colour is it as I seee more then two wires and I dont wanna slice into the wrong one!

Strange noise when I lift off the gas.
Nothing wrong with the goose honk. Apart from when you first hear it, I thought it was my newly installed horns going off because I facked something up! Haaa! But if your hitting pos boost and you get a funny sound the more you put your foot down then it's quite likey to be the goose honk.

Does your trim get hot around your Auto Box Trim?
My one is the same, though it depends on how I drive, weirdly enough if it's Motorway driving it's pretty cool around that area, though if it's city driving then it gets pretty hot! If there is a heat shield then I would like to know what it looks like!

Mocal oil cooler
Pretty easy really, take the old oil cooler off, mount the mocal oil cooler on and plug it up with the hoses that was on the old oil cooler. That's Engine oil sorted. Take old oil cooler and flush it before mounting it on infront of the mocal. Then take the rad apart and you'll find two hoses on the side of the rad, pull them and run it to the old oil cooler and plug them up! And that's about it really.

A question about junking the AIV
Cheers for the replies, well I'll probably leave them in for the mean time as I was at the rolling roads meet yesterday and was told I have a nice vac leak some where as I probably had the lowest output of all the TTs that day! Also they said that I am running a bit rich, though they couldnt get a reading for my fueling wasnt even on the chart! :shock: Think I'll sort out the minor little problems before junking it and getting an aftermarket ECU chip to compensate.

A question about junking the AIV
Been messing around with the car today after yesterdays sad rolling road's figure on my car which was due to a nice vacuum leak from the CC where one of the stupid vac line wasnt fixed to it, so I junked all the CC. Was thinking of getting rid of the AIV while I'm at it but a little stuck as I've been reading a few threads saying that if you junk the AIV, you'll need to get a new ECU to compensate. Soooo, for those who has junked it but left the ECU as stock, do you have any problems with it?! Oh, anyone wanna tell me where else to look for when I'm looking for a vac leak, I dont have any sort of way to tell as I dont have a vac leak detector thingiemebob.

breakdance
Pineapple Studios in Covent Garden has lessons, just look at their website for more details. There's also Danceworks just off of Oxford St opps of Selfridges, lessons start at 8:30pm to 10pm every Weds. And the actual term is 'breaking' and not 'breakdancing'. Why wouldnt you want to? It's very much alive, it's only because it's not in the media which is why you dont notice it. I was at the last Throwdown in Peterborough, loads of breakers around. He's impressive, but he doesnt have much in footwork. If you've watch alot of his videos and competitions he's done you'll notice he spends most of his time on the ground. Very weak when it comes to footwork which was why he got beaten at last year's Red Bull BC1 even though his set did look better.

replacement seats
Bride still makes subframes for the Z32 though you'll need to know what seat your getting before you can figure out which one of the 4 or so frames they make will fit.

Key snapped!!
Take the whole barrel off and replace with a new one! Though you'll need some way to take that solidering iron out first before you can unscrew it.
