There's some if you look internationally, I'm guessing it's just for the looks yeah? So it doesn't matter so my about outright build quality?

So where are you now?
Pretty sure I've seen stuff from that before. Looks fantastic, lots of extremely high end muscle.

Nothing quite like putting your foot in it is there haha.

What did you do to your zed today?

hers one for you?
Kind if struggling to understand what your saying there bud. As for your typing, it's not always easy, I am honestly aware of that. It often takes me along time to write out a post, my spelling and grammar is dreadful. It's got better, I have to sit and think a bit sometimes but genuinely it's pretty bad. My partner(future wife) laughs at my inability to spell everyday words. She has uncovered a huge extent of bad spelling I have, that I've previously hidden with hand writing that looks like it's just over excited. Part of it was/is the fact that I don't talk properly to begin with. For example there is no u in simular, the word is similar I only found that out about a year ago. If we go out to a restaurant, I cannot read the menu. I can literally read it, however the noise in the room etc prevents any of it going in, it's honestly a real struggle. Esp with non native restaurants where the dish description must be read to find out what everything is. I often just can't even be bothered so let her pick, the hour involved in finding something isn't worth it. So you see I totally sympathise with anyone who's written ability is lower than others, it can make life pretty awkward at times. As for the rest of that post, you've lost me. I can't see where that has become relevant. I know your having work done currently by mark, that's your choice as a consumer. There are favourite traders on this site, for the fact that they have long standing relationships with the club and it's members, that takes time. I don't have a preferred trader as such, I simply don't use anyone's garage services. I'm having fun learning about my car and getting my hands dirty, I'm pretty enthusiastic in that respect. My car has previously been worked on by Zedworld, who did a good job. Especially in comparison to the cowboys in derby known as "N#*+=? Autospares" who tbh wrecked my car and charged me a lot if money for it, that's where jeff had to step in. The club recommended him and that sorted stuff out. If I have a preferred mechanic, even though he hasn't worked on my car it's going to be jimmer, not only is he the closest, he's very experienced and I've met him several times and had help over the phone several times more, even helped me out with parts etc. So that would be my choice. Your choice is your choice, it's a personal thing. So I really don't get what your on about with people being liable for their comments. Anyways, I hope your issue gets resolved. No reason not to a professional is looking at it. If it is related to a vac/boost leak I will be chuffed as it means I'm getting smarter. If it isn't, which let's be fair is wholly possible I and others may learn something new. That's a good thing, I'm always happy to be educated.

hers one for you?
It's an expression, Too bark up the wrong or conversely the right tree. Essentially it means you've got it wrong, your looking in the wrong area or at the wrong thing. Equally to be barking up the right tree means it's the correct area. It doesn't necessarily mean your saying your correct, mearly that the hunch is looking good.
-
hers one for you?
Other than what I said in post #9 not at present no...however having read your other post about your leaking clutch booster it does make me wonder if I might be barking up the right tree.
-
hers one for you?
Isn't your car at marks being worked on mate? Seeing as mark is an expert it makes sense to get him to cast his eye on it and diagnose it, would it not? That's the advantage f getting an expert to work on your car, when mine had some head scratching niggles and I was unable Jeff used his vast experience and sorted things very quickly.
-
hers one for you?
Have you tried this with the aircon on? Be interesting to see if the extra revs etc carry the engine through. It runs fine cold and it runs fine hot, however that in the middle stage it's suffering...that about the just if it? Could be a vac leak that is masked by the extra fuel when stone cold and once warm the engine components swell closing the gap?

genuine 99spec front bumper
Enlightening jeff. So I would assume the likes of z1 and CPZ are buying these oem items from Nissan?
-
Fitting a larger oil cooler
The z32 has a built in regulation anyway bud.
-
genuine 99spec front bumper
I just added it up, from czp the cost of the bumper with all the extras, lights foams supports etc is cheaper than the pre tax price of the bare bumper from zcentre! I know there's tax and post but come on?
-
genuine 99spec front bumper
I'm sure if someone got a dozen of these with lights, into the uk they could make a little profit. Such a desirable part, commonly available, cheaper than the 89 one from Nissan iirc and we can't get them for a reasonable price. To buy the bumper and lights from zcentre is over £550 before you've even paid postage...or for the grill. Fitted, I wouldn't be surprised if the complete price was over a grand! That's just ridiculous.
-
Fitting a larger oil cooler
Take the cooler into the shop explain you want to go from rubber pipe to that. Someone may be able to tell you the diameter, I've forgotten off the top of my head. 12-14mm rings a bell.
-
genuine 99spec front bumper
Have you investigated importing one for yanky doodle land, probably still work out cheaper with the lights etc.
-
Fitting a larger oil cooler
Is just the bare cooler? No fitting kit, ie nothing to screw on the in and out? Most cone with a 90 degree hose tail that screws on and you push the stock lines onto that. If not you will have to source the bits. A local hydrolics place is likely a good bet.
-
How much?
Not much, really. What I'm unsure of currently is if it's actually possible to replace the ball joints themselves.
-
How much?
No, but you will likely end up paying more than you expect for good quality after markets. For most of us esp lower arms a refreshed set of stock ones are more than ideal.
