Crystal Front Indicators
I'm aware of that. Web designer left the country without completing the work. Have to do everything myself now and I'm not finding the time to do it ... Many apologies for the lack of a working website. I am doing my best to resolve it. Regards, Dan PS - I've just responded to your email.

If you mean the wing mounted side repeaters then the answer is YES!

Crystal Front Indicators
Would be happy to organise that. Would be quite simple too as I have plenty in stock!

Crystal Front Indicators
Yes but the ones I have in stock are cheaper and come with a pair of silvertec bulbs ! ;)

Which tyres for UK rear wheels?
I had Toyo Proxes T1R's on my UK spec wheels. Excellent performance in both dry and wet conditions and I got about 20k miles out of the rear tyres and I sold the front ones at 28k miles and they still had plenty of thread on them. Oh, and I don't drive like a granny either ... ;) I am just about to buy a new set of Toyo Proxes T1R's for my new alloys. HTH Dan

Afraid not mate - never have ... Perhaps you are confused with the polished dial rings (which would go very nicely with silver face plates! ;) )

HID Conversion - Stopping them switching off when flashing
Or connect the negative connector of the bulb to an earthing point on the chassis. Works as well but the relay method is the prefered way forward! HTH Dan

ebay engine bits your thoughts!!
Hi, Yes mate - no problem at all. I'll get a price sorted for the lot and PM you later today. What colour are you after (presumably blue as in the ebay advers?) Cheers, Dan

Hid Kits
This is correct. Once you fit a H3 HID kit in the dip beam you're not likely to use the mains anymore (aside from flashing to let people through etc.) If you're after a good kit, no hassle installation and completely reversible to stock then let me know as we stock HID kits. Regards, Dan

Advanced 300zx Driving school
I have approached Prodrive in the past who do some special tuition for various high performance owners clubs (I recently went with the Lambo owners club). It works out to be quite expensive and they are quite picky about what cars they allow on their property (ie state of repair, etc) It's a good idea and I'll definitely come along if this gets off the ground. Cheerio! Dan

Hi, At the moment I have only 51mm and 63mm (diameter) in purple in stock. Depending on whether your inner hard pipes (ie the ones that go to the TB's) are straight (ie 63mm all the way) or tapered (ie 63mm at the TB's and 51mm at the other end) I may have to order in a pair of reducers. This can take some time (and cost a bundle) but it's not impossible. Cheers, Dan

Mike, if you're stuck for silicone couplers (proper 3-ply stuff) then let me know as we stock these at all times. Regards, Dan

f.a.o traders
Scartlead - I've just PM'd you and the AVCR is yours. ChrisK - this is the only one at this time. I can order a new one but this will be more expensive and take some time. Regards, Dan

In the UK both the ZCentre and I [DTA-Motorsport (UK)] sell hard pipe kits. The difference between the two is that the ZCentre sells Injen pipes (polished aluminium) and I do custom stainless steel pipes (polished to a mirror finish), and this is reflected in the price. FYI - I also do a stainless steel radiator pipe kit (both upper and lower pipes) which completely irradicates the problem you find with silicone hoses.

Hi Mark, Didn't mean to come over as if I'm pouncing - I'm a HKS reseller (remember ...) I've just edited my first response to give some more "feedback" ;) Speedo rings are £35 plus £1.78 postage. All the best, Dan

No, it is not. It is made from crap quality ally and is prone to tarnishing. The hard pipe kit illustrated in your ebay link is made from polished aluminium. Although this is a strong and light material it is also prone to tarnishing unless it is chromed (which is difficult on aluminium). Also, the silicone couplers illustrated in their pictures don't look like they are 3-ply - something which is necessary given the high engine temperatures they endure. To me it looks like a US made kit which I've seen on ebay before selling for around USD48 - you get what you pay for ... Be careful with the silicone lower radiator pipe. I have seen many close in on itself (including Samco hoses) causing a blockage. This is due to the silicone tube walls not being stirdy enough. In order to combat this phenomenon the hose needs to be made from 4 or 5 ply silicone (which makes it very expensive). With all due respect, I do not mean to "degrade" the products you are looking at. I am merely giving my professional opinion on some known quality issues. They are not bad products and you're getting a bargain at those prices. However, be aware that you get what you pay for and on parts which are perhaps more critical to the running of the car than others, it may be worth spending a little more money for some peace of mind. Good luck with your purchases. Regards, Dan

standing order doh!!
Yes they will but you need to let them know about it. It may take some time for them to process it and refund it but there is no reason why they would hold on to the extra payment. One of our tenants did this and our letting agency (at the time) refunded the payment within 10 working days. HTH Dan

New car magazine
Yes, I was sent a pre-release copy of the mag. It's a new magazine by the people who do Japanese Performance. It's supposed to cater to "all" performance cars but I'm not too sure this is going to be a successful formula. In my opinion it is better to stick to a one/two brand magazine as this will be much more informative and useful to owners and potential owners of these cars. Just my opinion though.

OK - here are some details. I can get one Profec B Spec 2 boost controller (new) on short notice. Cost will be £258 delivered. I can also get a barely used APEXi AVCR (complete) on short notice. Cost will be £238 delivered. If anyone else wants a Profec B then the delivery time will be around 2~3 weeks - same price though. I'm sorry I can't compete with eBay prices but at least I'm a UK based trader which affords you a UK based contact point and warranty. Regards, Dan

HICAS Diagnostics?
HICAS does work off the steering wheel sensor. If this is (a) fooked or (b) permanently out of alignment (ie your steeringwheel is at an angle despite the front wheels pointing straight ahead) then HICAS disables itself. Couple that to dodgy HICAS arms or faulty rear steering rack and I can see how you've gone through a set of rear tyres so quickly. HTH Dan

Nissan Consult Interface
Is same as Datascan product albeit in a slightly different form (physically). Looks pretty well put together though ...
