my ideal next car
Nice choice. I had a A4 1.8T quattro company car for awhile. They do tend to get a bit of a slating as a drivers car though. You'll miss the attention you get from a zed.

rear lights
Im suprised so many like the standard pre99 lights. 99spec yes :bow: , but the originals with that great big orange indicator :hurl:

where else have you been advertising it ? Ebay has pretty much killed of loot, trade it, freeads..etc ...but ebay is generally for bargain basement shoppers. Autotrader and Pistonheads are the best bet.

Cheap ebay FMIC has arrived.
Have fitted a couple of them ebay kits. My only advice would be to replace the Jubille clamps with better quality versions, they have a tendency to pop the hoses off otherwise.

Shes Alive!!!!
Good to hear Gaz :) p.s Im not sure who did your service, but most of the garages do the tensioner as an extra on top of the 60k service (it should be inspected either way). Its around £100 extra.

chips
A good chip will improve performance across the range, but the real power does indeed come from the boost increase.

How do I access this page?
I suspect you were expecting more. I can also vouch for the KYB AGX and Eibach combo, having fitted it to several Z32's. Night and Day handling difference and good ride quality. In fact usually better ride quality becuase your replacing worn old shocks. The adjustment knobs are easy to get to on both front and rear, and there is a noticeable difference with each adjustment. The Eibach springs are progressive so they soak up small bumps and poor road surfaces but stiffen up on hard cornering. They dont drop the car by as much as other options, about 0.8" all round. KYB AGX & Eibach are the most common suspension upgrade for the Z32.

Where can I get leather seat covers
Speak top Funkysi, he just imported some from the states. Alternatively - http://www.nipponauto.co.uk is where I got mine. I would recomend getting them professionally fitted, or expect to spend several days of blood, sweat and curse words. The quality is all in the fitting.

rear lights
I hate the standard lights, pre-99 lights. One of the first things to change on a zed (together with the orange wing indicators and tweed interior). Orange is evil. Really like 99spec, its what they should have came with :cool: Not a big fan of the caravan lights, they have to be fitted to a kitted zed then they can look ok or they look stupid otherwise.

Weight of Zed??
Looking forward to weighing mine now ! I know I have lost 130kg from my Slicktop so will be interesting.
-
Weight of Zed??
maybe lol, not quite sure how you got such a low figure...others I've seen weighed are quite a bit more than the standard kerb weight figure.
-
leather or velour
I prefer aftermarket leather (stock leather is a bit cheap and plasticky). Although for the panels I prefer the Suede/alcantra rather than the velour, although the velour is ofcourse a hell of a lot nicer than tweed. Grey Tweed Blue Velour (series 2 uk) Grey Alcantra (series 2/3)

courier companies
Incorrect. I use parcel2go all the time for posting parts, all labelled as car parts, and anything over 1.5m you just pay extra premium like any courier.

9.5j rims on front?
As above, you would need to roll the arches just to get them to fit with. Zeds suit the look of a staggered setup anymore, a bigger lip on the rear.

courier companies
not heard of interparcel.com so just did a couple of quotes (one small package, 1 large).....and parcel2go.com is definatly cheaper.

What tyres to buy??
You do get what you pay for....but since the comment was in regards to the Falken 452 I have to say you get a hell of a lot for your money. As good if not better than nearly all the more expensive high performance tyres. Very comparable to the Goodyear F1's (most popular tyre choice) but better priced. Anything not designed as a Ultra high performance tyre is just a Ditch finder on the 300zx..........a suprising number have Nankangs fitted as cheap tyre package deal...... deathtrap tyres ! I've not knowingly been in a Z32 with S02's. I'll probably be fitting the 452's to mine over these winter months, before opting for a Road legal slick come summertime.

1580kg is the official kerb weight of the 2+2 TT
