Tidy zed on Ebay!!
Who in their right mind would bid/buy that on ebay before its even landed in the UK and with no information on it.

1996 models
If they just stuck a MPH face over the KPH clocks then it will read up to 110mph and the odometer will still be in KPH. If they coverted it to MPH (it will ready up to 180mph) and the odometer will count in MPH from when it was converted.

1996 models
It wasn't really a law, more of a "Gentlemans agreement"....but yes nearly all the manufactures ignored it anyway. Some could say the UK model has more power than the Jap becuase the Jap has an exhaust restrictor and the Uk does'nt.....but you could also say the Jap model has more power than the UK model becuase the UK model has 3 cats instead of 2 and the Jap model is mapped for higher octane fuel. You could even say that the U.S model could have less power then the jap/Uk models becuase they have lower octane fuel and stricter emissions (especially california). In regards to engine and Turbo, all regions are the same. The auto is less powerfull than the Manual (cam and turbo differences). U.S quote 280 for the Auto. Nissan UK quote 263 for the Auto. There are apparant cam differences in the later models when they dropped VVT to compensate for any power/torque loss. 300 or 280, I expect they are the same in all regions anyway.

...Am I running with increased boost?!
Not strictly correct, a chip will have an affect on power. Some of the more aggressive chips can give quite a nice power increase across the range over standard, even with standard boost, as they improve the fuel mixture and timing.....not talking massive amounts here though. Others, like JWT run more on the rich side for safety and probably wont improve power on their own. but still 90% of the power increase will still come from increasing the boost rather than the chip itself.

internet companies
You'll probably get 20 different recomendations and just as many others complaining about those that are being recomended tbh there is'nt much between them. Except AOL...everyone hates AOL ! :rofl: I've used Pipex for my residential broadband for the past 4/5 years, but that was becuase I was used to dealing with them as a Corporate business customer which is where their background lies. I would'nt know what their customer service is like for Home users though...as I've never had to contact them....it simply just works. :) If I was to change now it would probably be for somebody like Sky, as they offer such great value deals - Phone, broadband and sky TV for peanuts.

Poll: Which bushes are you using?
Has anyone got the Energy Suspenion Polyurethane Rear control arm bushing set fitted ? (18 bushes...replaces all the ones in the rear hubs and rear arms). Want to know how it affected ride/noise ? Im having adjustable rear arms with rose joints, but that will still leave 4x ES bushes in each hub to replace and 2x in the lower wishbone. I heard the ES ones are very harsh for the rear, and Nismo are a better ride ?

White Smoke - bad
Murt, he means replace with engine in, the passenger side is ok to get to (a few hours work for Paul), if it was the other side you would have to pull engine out. In theory a known good used turbo could last you a long time still.

My Interior
Liking the contrasting Black and red :cool: Love the Alcantara. Yep, they are Cobra Monaco's. Have to custom modify to existing stock subframes or univerals, or make your own (I made my own with some universal sliders for my Cobra Imola's to lower the height) For a 2+2 I'd recommend the Cobra Misano , sexy recliners !

Apexi Power FC
I dont think there has ever been a Power FC for the Z32, although I heard company in UAS (in australia) had created a conversion wiring kit for them to work on the z32.

Anything I can adjust.....
That makes sense. Unfortunatly it seems that most are now bought on ebay and these out of date examples are ruining the brand reputation.
