I've just had my car converted to manual by Luke and bought one of these at the same time, as well as a short shifter too. It's really comfortable to handle (gotta be careful here :) ) and I'd recommend it to anyone. PS The manual is TOP STUFF !!!!!! I love it. The car is transformed - and f'ing quick too. I always used to think 'ok it's reasonably fast but what's all the fuss about'. Now I think 'WOW WOOOOHOOOOOO !!!' Mark Oh and Cerina - isn't blue the BEST colour !!! It looked soooo good in the sunshine :)

Is this happening then ? Where and what time ? Mark

My pleasure :) Post a pic when you've fitted it. Mark

I went there yesterday to collect my car from Z Centre. New manual gearbox !! (was an auto) I know there's a strong argument between auto's and manuals but I have to say I love it ! Unbelievable pick-up when the turbos get spinning. ANYWAY - just thought I'd say how depressed I was after driving all the way back to sunny Surbiton. Not a sigle Z spotted. I mean I know there aren't that many around but I usually see one at least. The day was just about saved as there's a nice red one in a showroom at the end of my road. Not as good as seeing them on the street. I didn't get to see a lot of Nottingham - are there really that many women ? We should have meets up there. Brighton is just full of wierdos (well mostly).

Good one ! I'll be there too. Getting my baby back from Luke's Tuesday if all goes to plan. Does anyone go to the Ace Cafe meet each month ? Mark

Hi Tim No charge mate. They wouldn't let me pay so I can hardly charge you can I !! :D Just how to get it to you............ ? Mark

Tim Different subject altogether - do you remember you asked me to get you a part from Japan ? I got it - do you still want it ? Mark

Was it a little scruffy ? The car I mean ? I think I saw her in Richmond last week. My missus gragged me away before I could say hello :confused: Mark

Hi Stuart Thanks for posting that. Much appreciated. Mark

I found a site in the US called Z1 Motorsports that sells the Strosek-style kit that featured on a thread here a few weeks ago - a blue nose without any provision for indicators that would get broken off on the first speed hump. I rang them to ask about it and they told me it was a kit produced by a company called V12 in the States - $3000 for the complete kit and $1000 just for the nose !! - but also that it was available from Paul Bailey in the UK. Does anyone know if he's still involved in kits and stuff for the Z ? I also looked at the Strosek site. There was a great looking Z on there in Graphite but no prices - anyone have any info ? Cheers Mark

It's hard to imagine just how much work has gone into that ! But I have to agree - a bit of a mish-mash IMHO.

Hi XTT I'm in Surbiton. Have you found anyone local who knows anything about these cars - ie servicing etc ? Cheers Mark

Hi all Saw a very yellow Z in Richmond this afternoon - UK TT. Wandered over to talk to the driver while the car was stuck in traffic and got pulled away by my missus when she saw it was being driven by a girl !! Anyone on here ? Shortly followed by a white TT in Richmond Park - sounded very nice as it burbled past me. Again - anyone on here ? Mark

I have a manual gearbox for sale if anyone is interested ? Mark

Scorpion too. Nice. Shiny and not too loud. Mark

Does anyone know what reaction time is considered a 'jump' in drag racing ? Mark

Try 40 !!!!!! If this was paper it would be smeared with the tears of a wasted life...... HOLD ON A MINUTE!!!!!! I'VE GOT A Z !!!!! Woo Hooo !!!!!!! :D Mark

Does anyone know if 20's will fit and if anyone has got them ? Mark

Guys I had Niagara Falls on my right leg every time it showered - mostly every day :D - and did all of that greasing and stuff. In the end it turned out to be the seal between the glass and the bodywork of the t-top. Water was getting in and dripping down looking for all the world like it was coming through the join between the roof and pillar. Got some black sealant from Halfords - sorted. Just a suggestion............ Mark

I've posted the catalogue to Stuart (SMW1) and he's going to scan it onto his website. I'm sure he'll post a message when it's done......... Mark

Cheers guys. Mark

It's produced by NEWs PUBLISHING CO INC. I've got issue number 2. I'm happy to post it to someone for them to scan and email to whoever they want. I want it back though :D It's all in Japanese but I'm sure it's pretty easy to work through if you know anyone who's Japanese (that sounds a bit dumb and blindingly obvious doesn't it). My email is mbaigent@gnseurope.com if anyone wants to give me their address to post it. Cheers Mark

My Japanese colleague has just handed me a Japanese catalogue of tuning, styling and every other 'ing you can think of for the Z32 and Z33. It's 100's of pages of the most amazing stuff !! Most of which I've never even heard of. There's a headlight conversion in there that is the standard shape but internally there are three lamps (HID too) for about £300 !!! It looks the absolute dogs bo**ocks !!! I fear there will be no work done today !!!! I'll bring it to the next meeting I go to......... *drool drool* Mark

Can anyone tell me who does a brace for the brake servo to stop the bulkhead from flexing ? Are they easy to fit ? Cheers Mark

No kit. Just the wing and paint job. The colour is Bayside Blue - like R34 Skylines. It's at Luke's for an auto to manual conversion. He also has some 99 tail lights that look really nice and some clear side indicators maybe...........I'll have to sweet talk my missus to explain the increase in cost :)
