*EVERYONE READ* A letter in the back of Jap Performance
its great isnt it. TBH there were two reasons why i put this thread up, Firstly was just to let everyone know that he had made his gratatude known to us through the media. he didnt have to do that, but it shows the type of bloke kenny is secondly was to show the members of the forum who joined after the accident what this club is about and how close we all can be when something bad happens to one of us. Like santa said, this club does have almost a family like character, we all take part in the banter, and sometimes there a big rows, but when the worst things happen we all pull together like a family and support our members in any way we can, whether it be financial physical or emotional. I feel very proud to be a part of this club, and i think everyone should. Its almost a shame that it seems to be a very negative situation that shows the true colours, and what very bright colours they are, of the members Is there any Mod who would be able to find the original thread of when the accident happened, the search tool will only enable me to search a 12 month period and i think it would be nice to show the newer members what the club is capable off Nick

you cant rush greatness my friend! TBH i havent even seen one that i would even go and look at never mind buy. There was a black swb for sale on here back in december i think, which was stunning and went for the right sort of money. but theres nothing worth looking at on either the trader ebay or pistonheads....... im in no massive rush, just want to get a peach

confused
read my mind there andy. its most likely electrical problem on the cat sensors. obviously getting rid of the cats removes the problem. Wouldnt be anything like a coil missing a beat, you'd feel the miss fire. dont forget the cats are probably on their last legs anyway, they are about 15 years old dont forget! but as andy said, could be well worth checking your earths, you may figure out some of the other "characteristics" the zed has i down to bad earthing nick

just get rid of the cats mate, that solves the probelm buy removing the problem. bring on the noise! nick

Importing Parts & Accessories
depends on how much of a saving your making compared to the UK market. Youll get stung with things like import duty etc. There are some ways of getting around this, but there is still a chance of getting caught out and having to pay the duty. If your going to do it, the best way is to select a all the things you want, and then have the seler to mark the package as "not for retail, test products contained within". I think there is some policy that it the goods arent going to be sold and there for RandD purposes you dont get stunk for the import duty, which should save you a bit of money. With regards to actual companies that ship to the uk, sorry mate cant help you there as ive never imported stuff from the states, only Jap land hope this helps nick

*EVERYONE READ* A letter in the back of Jap Performance
Ive just picked up the latest copy of japanese performance (march 07) and have read my way through to the Letters section, and i found this: "Valuable support, I feel i must write to you and tell you abouth the amazing support i recieved from two car clubs that i belong to, The SXOC and 300zx.co.uk . Last year i lost my wife in an horrific car accident on the A303, just outside salisbury, and in the months following, i recieved many hundreds of emails and support from members and non members from both clubs. This was followed up by a gift of 2000 pounds, which enabled me to cover the costs of my wife funeral and also put some in a trust fund for my kids. I managed to get to JAE and took my 9 year old daughter along. She thoroughly enjoyed the scene, despite having lost her mum.She even won me a TOYO tyres t shirt. We all hope to be at JAE 07. My son, who is five, is really looking forward to the weekend, and i am looking forward to bringing my 91 300zx which has been breathed on by Zen. My son is an avid picture reader of your magazine and is developing his enthusiasm for jap cars, like his dad. Thanks once again to both clubs, its what these people have done for me and tmine, and that restores my faith in humanity and shows what decent people are all about Ken Hodgson (or as we know him Kenny Z) Man i remeber what kenny put the post up about the crash, and how completely devastated i was, and id only ever met him once! I thought id put this up for the peeps who dont buy the magazines, and in case kenny hadnt been on here recently. I know kenny probably put something along the same lines on here, but if he didnt i thought id put this up for people to read, and especially for the people who contributed to kennyz famaily. Anyway, kenny if you still come on here, hope all's well mate and see you at JAE Nick

baby seat in the back of a zed
All, as a part of getting another zed i have to satisfy the missus with certain criteria. The one that is proving the hardest to prove is: can you get a baby seat into the back of a zed? if you can, has anyone got any pics so i can show her. In not then it looks like an evo is going to have a white wash on the practicality stakes cheers nick
