Sticky accelerator pedal
A similar thread appears every few months.....common problem, and very dangerous! Gradually the metal breather works its way outwards and catches on the linkages. Put something like loctite on it and knock it back in lightly with a hammer.

Insurance for Silvia S13-S15?
S13's Tidy stock examples go for £1200-£1500 or up to £4k for a well modified one. You can buy a mot failure rotten S13 with big end bearings as a bit of a project for few hundred quid and they are very cheap to repair and modify. Dont know much about the S14 and S15, although I think your looking at about £3.5k for a clean 99 s14a

New Z owner needs some advice
Price is very dependent on condition with these cars. You can buy a very rough tired 91 LWB TT for £2k or pay over £4k for a Tidy well looked after example.

cheap coilovers
Same spec as the Skyline GTR upgrade, although the GTR calipers are pretty much a stright bolt on without the need for the bracket.

Pistonheads
Thats the front spats (mud gaurds). Popular Jap option.

cheap coilovers
Trouble with the D2's is that the spring rates are very harsh (much harsher than Teins). Definatly track orientated, and not really for the road. Nissan OEM Front 2.8kg/mm (157 lb) Rear 2.4kg/mm (134 lb) Eibach Pro springs Progressive Front (185-250 lb) Rear (145-200 lb) Tein Flex Coilovers Front 8kg/mm Rear 6kg/mm D2 RS Coilovers Front 13kg/mm (727 lb) Rear 7kg/mm (392 lb)

Interesting!!!
£600-£800. Capablity to handle big power is a bit of an unknown at the moment but there are quite a few Turbocharged or Supercharged Z33's running around.

Surprising fuel economy
Yep, I've recorded just over 30mpg in TT on a 150 mile journey....and it was at a constant 80mph! Wish NA would do that on motorway.

Timing belt 2
This is related to the snapped belt you mentioned in other thread ? In which case it all depends on what/any engine damage done. The VG is an Interference engine, so if belt broke it could of bent valves, damaged pistons..etc If its an Auto your more likely to get away without damage. If engine is fine, then most specialists will charge £400-£500 for cambelt change.

Timing Belt
You might be better off buying a second hand engine tbh

V8 Engine swap
MantaV8 is the only one who has dropped an american V8 in so far. I believe somebody else was planning or working on it, but dont remember who... While Manta's was very well done and I take my hat of to him I cant say Im a big fan of American muscle in a Jap sports car.......why not go for the Japanese V8 instead........and even better a Nissan V8.... John Dixon & Friday are approaching the end of their Nissan Vh45DE V8 transplants, and its something I have been seriously planning for the past few months and Im on the look out for a donor vehicle at the moment so I can make a start.... I know that John has spoke of offering his services previously and would be a good person to speak to.
