Looky here 2+2 convertable hard top
looks pretty good imo, would be better with glass top though.

sin city
well worth a watch yeah. As for 300, not seen it, everyone raved about it but I saw the trailer and decided right then that it was absolute gash.

wanna go faster........
filter, exhaust, chip, boost controller. But yes seriously, that is an outrageous speed to be driving on the road!

blue ray HD expert needed please
thats a low resolution there mate, even a standard PAL DVD has 576 lines, that has 480. You would likely see no improvement in quality at all.

Our Z's Verses the environment, Feel guilty??
you said it yourself... 'stupid buzzwords' The whole thing is *****cks, just a (very successful) made up money making scheme for governments, corporations, and the whole new breed of 'carbon offsetters' who are all lining their pockets from the guilt they place on others, laughing all the way to the bank they are :/

Drag Question..
where did all your torque go?

wastegate instead of dump valves???
you can't, stock recirc's will leak if you open them to atmosphere, afaik anyway.
-
wastegate instead of dump valves???
the noise has nout to do with the wastegates anyway, it is from the compressor wheel.

Datascan on Vista?
pretty sure i've had it running on vista. That was a long time ago now though.
-
wastegate instead of dump valves???
Orido's supra makes the best compressor stall sound :D Going to need a big turbo and high boost to get that effect though, stock ones on a zed will be weak at best. This single turbo zed does it pretty well :p http://youtube.com/watch?v=-eYBF8iDQnw To do it you just need to disconnect and block up the recirc valves, there's probably a good reason why nobody does though :p

URGENT wind screen need it
to be fair even if he does have windscreen cover they will fit a UK one, the wrong colour.

Revs dropping
FICD solenoid aint working then (fast idle control device). You can see where this is here. The grey plug on it is the one for FICD, i'm not that clued up on these, but I guess cleaning out the connector, and the valve unit itself, cannot do any harm..

Whats the Ultimate £4k Car?
Nikasil issues affected cars with the M52 inline 6 and M60 V8 engines. This includes E34, e36, e32, e38, e46 and e39 models. M52 was never affected in the US because they had cast liners, was fixed in '98 over here. Don't know when the V8's were updated, but they were, and got 'Alusil' liners instead.

Strange noise? Supercharged?
that would be related to engine rpm not road speed though.

Is there a new Nissan ?????
yes, soon if this article is anything to go by http://jalopnik.com/cars/news/nakamura-next-infiniti-g35-to-resemble-coupe-concept-199326.php The Stagea is NOT a Skyline though, just the line-topping Autech version had ATTESSA AWD and an RB26 motor. Folks should realise that this IS the Skyline of today, the GT-R is no longer any part of the skyline range. In fact the skyline sedan is pretty low down in the rankings, as you can see here http://www.nissan.co.jp/EN/LINEUP/lineup_07.html, it is only one step above a bluebird! Another interesting point is that the 350z is based on the skyline coupe, not the other way round, the main difference being the heavy strengthening done to the 350z.

I wasn't planning on buying a zed BUT!
overestimating the MOT a little there, could have a shagged out engine, knackered turbos and a dodgy gearbox yet pass an MOT with flying colours.
