1999 imports?
You are looking at at least 10k OTR for one of these. Lets be realistic, who in their right mind is going to pay that much for a 20 year old car with a facelift?

Wow, nearly nailed him!!!!!
Nevermind the bikers, it's the pricks driving round like dicks in cars that hack me off. Just tonight some little runt in a Fiesta came within inches of smashing the front of my car into next week. Failed to give way to me at the mini roundabout at the bottom of the street and he was also speeding, must have been at least 40 in what is a 30 zone. Felt like chasing him down and punching his head in, but couldn't be arsed :p

Zedworld
Yeah they have a decent setup over there. My local main dealer were unwilling to help me with parts because I have an import. Zedworld gave me some no nonsense service, btw Munny your car was on the ramps when I went, not changed much since back in the day when 'Senna' had it :)

tyre problem???
Time for a 4 wheel alignment.
-
Timing belts
change it anyway tbh.
-
What are these wheels?
Ones in the OP look kinda like one of the numerous fakes that have been made. If you want a counterfeit set then Rota Grid's are the same, I think Innovit make some too but they have no credibility at all whereas Rota at least have a little bit. There are loads of sets of real ones on yahoo auction japan if you are willing to use an agent to buy.

Best Motoring Video - Is there a Fairlady/300zx version?
It has been in a couple of track battles, and they have reviewed a Pentroof modded one. Tbh though it's fairly dismal viewing, it gets left behind on track and they didn't rate the pentroof either. :(

BMW 850, EVO 8 or Skyline R33 GT-R
Got to be the Evo, best out of them all WRT performance. 8 series are old and hugely complex, not particularly reliable and likely to be a total nightmare money pit. Skyline is okay I guess but again it's old, times have moved on and the Evo has done just that, Evolved, it is better.

What a Supra!
saw this on the M42 some time ago, didn't look so good. Was driving super slow too for whatever reason.
-
What polish/wax do you use?
Polish used is 'Liquid gold', got it from MAC, who I believe got it from Peter(?) at PPS. Wax is Meguiars Gold Class, layered on. Shine is great, doesn't rend to last long though.

Top gear reminder
looks like a 99 spec to me..

Can anyone find a good home for my Z
Is it just me that doesn't understand that rule? It's as if the club doesn't want members to buy the cars, but rather they ended up in the hands of a stranger. Turning away cars from the owners club just seems bizarre to me :/
-
Three spoke alloy pics please
mmmm, I like.
-
any zeds with BGWs?
they look totally daft, only excusable on a competition car.
-
Live For Speed, anyone play?
oh and fwiw, If you enjoy a real hardcore simulator like LFS, then also try out Richard Burns Rally. It might be old school in terms of the graphics but the simulation is very good, I play this more than LFS now, love the snow stages in Finland :)
-
teins and trimmed arches, now with pics
Looking good now, fit the strosek front bumper and it will be a real looker.
-
Lfs
not so much, see the other thread.
-
Live For Speed, anyone play?
I don't play it so much since the last patch, they screwed up the FOX and BL1 which I used to drive all the time. My new favourite combo is the FZR and Westhill, I think I have the 6th or 7th fastest lap time with that combo :) Btw don't judge it by the demo, it is rubbish, the full game is great though.
-
Z34 on the way
Don't get me wrong, I hate diesels as much as the next petrolhead, but your 'facts' are just wrong.
-
new tyres
just because a tyre is bald in the inside shoulder does not make it illegal, it only has to be above 1.6mm depth over 3/4 of the tread width. I'd not be happy, asking you to risk points on your licence because they are too stingy to replace a tyre which is obviously very dubious.
-
k sport
I'm surprised that handles at all well tbh, I had a similarly mismatched setup on my Mirage for about an hour. The understeer was so severe it literally wouldn't turn around most corners at anything more than snail pace and even then the tyres squealed.
-
How much will our road tax be next year?
If its an import registered after 2006 then it will be taxed by the co2 emissions, not sure if they have a figure for the z32 though, maybe not, probably automatically goes to the max category knowing the twats in power now.
-
Will you ever understand the Zed?
No different to any other car tbh.
-
my car valued at 5k
it's the truth though, old cars with a big thirst are seriously out of fashion these days.
-
my car valued at 5k
5k is a good price, total it on purpose and take the cash tbh, you'll never sell it for that unfortunatly.
