Eh?

I'd say Baz showed first interest..

Dum di dum..

Im out.

:ban:

Might chanbe my name to jim_666!

Worth buying to break.:scooter:

I see. Rocket ronnie had an insanely fast r33. I haven't heard of him for a while, but i saw the shell for sale not that long ago.

To be honest, carrying on from the sell it/break it talk, your 100% right. Buying another "unknown" car, might cost a few quid because it looks like a good car, but might have all the same problems and cost you even more in the long run. I admire your determination, i would have set fire to it by now. Once done, you will have 1 very nice, well sorted zed. Now get on with it!!

Cheers mate. I only use V power. In this and all my M3's 300zx's. What made you put the RB26 in a 300zx mate? Do you prefer the 300, or just fancy doing something different? Im on gtr.co.uk, is your username the same? Cheers

Rocket ronnie? That car is no more..

Not much. 10kg maybe?

Missis dads megane diesel. He filled it with petrol. It cut out. They drained it, changed the filter, put diesel in it... Sorted. £100 was all it cost him in the end. I thought he was looking at big bills!

Cheers mate.

Sorry mate, i had a moment of madness and took the plunge. I'd still love your zed tho... ARGH!!! Too many cars!!!

To be honest, i like that about the zed. The back stepping out on full boost reminding you that it was a fast car. I had a traction control kit, but never fitted it as i feel thats what its all about. The Skyline in that respect is boring (Still tail happy when you want to tho), but with big power, i think it will be amazing! Greg at protuner said they are a bit boring under 500bhp, but with it.... A beast!

Check this 550bhp beast.. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/158663-my-pride-joy-sale.html

Thats kind of the whole thing that got me wanting one. I dont drive my car very much. Ive got a family car and am in that at the weekend, and in the week im in the van.. My toy is just that, at toy. It doesn't need to be practical, or economical, but it needs to blow my socks off everytime i drive it. The last zed i had, i liked. Much faster than the others i'd had, but i got used to the power very quickly and wanted more. Getting more power would have meant loads of money. The standard rb26 seems to be able to take loads of power. A pair a better turbos and some 555 injectors, along with a proper map, i should see over 500bhp!

I'll get some pictures in the daylight tomorrow dude. The M3 Convertible is for sale, but im tempted to sell the M3 coupe too. I could put some money into this and have a beast of a car!

After my mate got it in my head, and me posting on here, (which started a big thing) i took the plunge. Last night, i drove 400 miles (round trip) to pick up my new R33 Skyline GTR! I did want an R32, but this was the one my mate was buying, but had to pull out of the deal. I made contact with the owner, and a deal was struck. He did offer to meet me halfway to save the long drive, but i wanted to see the car from Cold, and boy was it cold last night! No pictures yet, as my phone is crap and ive been out all day today. Basics.. 1995 Mines ECU Ohlins(sp?) suspension Rays wheels Apexi exhaust Air filters (cant see a brand on them) Uprated oil cooler Boost controller Turbo timer Thats all i can think of for now. Drives near perfect! A little hard, but thats how i like it. Drove the 200 miles home without a problem. Getting it home and over speedbumps, i noticed a little clunk from the front, im guessing a worn bush of some sort, will get that sorted asap. Front splitter is missing, but how low it is, i can see why. Will be getting a new one and staying away from speep bumps! First immpressions.... I dont know why i haven't bought one sooner! My mate has always loved them, he had a 1998 R reg one a few years ago, but i have never really been that bothered. Seeing how easy it is to get them to 500bhp is what made me look twice. The drive is awesome, power delivery is great. I launched it once just to see how it did it, 4-5k rpm, dump the clucth and it just rocketed up the road! Its not overly fast, running .8 bar boost. Not as fast as the last zed i had which ian said he thought was around 390bhp. But im told the down pipe holds power back, so it going to see a mate at pro tuner to get it tweeked on the dyno and better downpipes when funds allow. With what its going already and that, should be close to 400bhp. My mates made 414bhp. I cant afford it at the minute, but you only live once!

Well, after this thread, ive got the bug.. The Skyline my mate was buying (R33 GTR), that he now cant, im going to look at on Sunday. Im owed enough money to buy it, but waiting for it seems to be going on forever, so may get a bank loan and pay it off when i get paid!

I bought one for mine. Never got round to fitting it so somebody from here bought it. I went for it because my mate bought one for his 200sx and was good. Only thing we could fault were the clips. He just bought some better ones from B&Q.

I cant see the link, but if its a toyo sports one, they are meant to be good.

I would advise everybody to get a qoute from Footman James. I couldn't get my breath when i got my first quote. Insured my first zed with them, even tho it wasn't on the road +and never did get on the road as i broke it). Transfered it to my next zed (£20 admin i think). Better than Sky and adrian flux. Both my M3's are with Footman James. ( both currently off the road too!)

I think we should lock this thread until ive bought it!
