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

cheeky sod, glad to be back mate. As i mentioned earlier, im looking at an evo as well as a zed, so i joined to MLR to do some research on them. OMG what a bunch of self righteous to55ers, makes me realise how much of a quality forum this is!

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

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

Oh i forgot, im after a LWB, unfortunately i need it to be as practical as a zed can be :( nick

cheerz bud, cant believe i still havent seen your zed in the flesh yet! looks like its going well anyway bud all the best nick

anyway, if you know if anyone is selling a min, and i mean really mint 92 onwards black TT manual or auto (preff manual, if not i can always get it converted) can you all let me know cheers all again and looking forward to meeting up with you all in the near future nick

good to hear from you mate. my pm dont work anymore, not subscribed give us your email and ill pass you my number good to hear your good mate, hows the sprogs coming on

passenger side it is then. dont suppose uve got any pics have you

loveing it mate, always thought the zed suited two tone paint jobs. know what you mean about money though what do you reckon to this for a front bumper.... a bit different i think, but i like it anyway http://www.takakaira.com/asp/template.asp?cat=1&id=743&prodID=OPpLmMmhjIkgnJi

nice, what front end you going to put on it? your not going to keep the quad exhuasts are you?

in which case congrats to you on both fronts mate, so youll be able to answer my baby seat in the back of a zed thread then. good boy!

love that clip im sure the white zed belonged to someone on here, but cant remember who

s h i t the bed al, thats VEEEEEERY nice, always loved a properly done wide arch kit, good choice in wheels, i like rota GTRs. you got any pics of the finished product or are they in the rides section? sounds like you got a good deal on the work as well, just over 2K all in, good gnikcuf deal mate!

i did try. ill buy u a beer at the next major meet if thatll cheer you up. shunter my good man, hows tricks StellaZ, hows the beer induced modding going mate? Hey peach, how much have you fingers shrunk with all that polishing then, hope alls well?

sorry mate, night shifts wipe out all traces of common sense! so in short, what your saying is your an old fart right? :mac1:

what you on about?

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

im spiffing marvelous thankyou kind sir many turn up tuesday?

cheers bud whats new?

petey sorry for the hijack, Alright danny, good to see your still in the game mate

crikey thats a bit deep for this time in the morning very good story though. puts alot of things in perspective

anyway, whats going on with zed prices at the moment, ive seen loads for silly cheap money, albeit the're probably sheds. I made a 2 grand loss on mine, that doesnt include what i spent on it, just a loss on what i bought it for, but ive seen a few really sweet ones going for the 4 grand mark! FFS thats just silly!

mmmm not sure mate, i tired it for a little while, about an hour, and my idle went a bit pschizo. Apexi twin chamber bovs mate, thats what i went for, fit in the same place as the recircs, if you take the time to set them up, they dont mess up your idle and are a quality bit of kit my 2ps worth nick
