Thanks for the warm welcome. I have seen TT autos for £750, and Im quite tempted to get an auto at first. I have also heard that they are tuneable up to 1.3Bar boost without damaging the engine. Also thanks for the couple of sales up there. I should hopefully have one soon.

Oh and hello Bantam.. Are you going to the pod next week?

Haha the ones that look good are 181 miles north

Hiya All Just wanted to say before i get going that I don't own a 300zx as yet :shock: I currently own a Prelude 2.2 vtec, but can't wait to sell trade it in for a Z. I went up to Crest Cars in High Wycombe, to see a few examples. It was mostly a quick lesson in what to avoid when buying a car: 1.The address given for the "garage" on the website was actually the meeting place that the dealer uses - we met him there and followed him half a mile down the road to a house with a garden full of old jap cars. Hmmmm. 2. Nick spotted an oil-leak straight away coming from the left side of the engine bay 3. The boost gauge either didn't work or it was telling us the turbos had completely failed (looked to be the gauge when Nick had a ride as speedo didn't work either) 4. the dealer didn't let nick drive the car and he didn't use any gears above 3rd. 5 You seem to get a lot of black smoke for £3K these days Needless to say Nick didn't want to buy the car! There do seem to be a few on the market so hopefully there's a bargain out there somewhere the prices seem to range from £750 - £5K Many thanks (please cut and repost the details about crest cars as a sticky) Nick
