Will do buddy. He doesn't use it all too much, he lives in Craigbank and worked in Thornliebank so that was his only journey

I think it is stock Mick, not had my head under too much, works hectic... Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

Well, I set up my account last night.. so I will sort my profile and make my introductions tonight.. Where in Glasgow are you? I'm south west (Cardonald) area.. may have to come to a mini meet, my little brother in his matt black Zed and I

Ill do it tomorrow after work there's not much that happens on SOC full stop, but that's where the car build was posted etc and still has the SOC stickers on the rear quarter windows

Will do Ian, thanks This is the only engine pic I have atm.. its old, the previous owners from when the bonnet was being fitted..

I've joined the skyline-owners-club, but not the skylineowners yet.. I will be soon Glasgow's newest Skyline HKS air induction kit HKS ssqv RSP ecu = 350+ bhp massive front mount intercooler carbon bonnet.. featured on the auto extreme website 18" wolfrace shark alloys vented front wings full Jun bodykit GTR rear spoiler Momo interior gear knob and steering wheel Cobra Daytona front matching seats..recliners on Larkspeed runners full jet black interior custom centre console with hks boost controll and turbo timer Sterling cat 1 alarm strut brace on front new under bonnet hoses oversized fuel filter Walbro motosport fuel pump 3" stainless de-catted exhaust system with a carbon wrapped nismo back box that sounds very special Custom sparkling graphite grey painted dash this is how we look just now, but there is more.. I'm going to have the car mapped and dyno'd as soon as I have the time, so the actual 'specs' will be up as soon as I'm sure of them.. as I'm a noob when it comes to EVC's, im going to take my time working it out properly.. but having a fiddle with the basic modes....

Why thankyou Dave.. done it to offset the average normal driver age that you pushed up with the Jag

I like the black although I wasn't sure about the carbon bonnet at first.. The wheels are 18" wolfrace shark alloys.. Again, I wasnt too sure as I quite like the white on white look with Skylines, but they are doing the growing thing too

Thanks CS, I most definitely will as and when its needed

So last week I asked a question about Skyline R33's and this week, I've only went and got one.. and I couldn't be happier Well, here she is... (sorry about the pic quality.. will get better ones once she's had a good seeing to)

Audi have a new Ad, featuring 2!! yes, two of Spok!! I personally love it http://io9.com/old-spock-battles-new-spock-in-the-greatest-car-commerc-493836696

Thanks Bronzee, my sports therapist used to strap me up every few days, esp before a tough swimming session, only issue is with the likes of that and my back brace.. they work very well and ease symptoms, but they are usually used as something to allow for proper rehabilitation so that it is not needed, otherwise its something used for life..

Knew you'd like that one Gudzy... I know the GTR looks meaner, but i prefer the modded GTST look, sleeker etc.. Mick.. Mick.. Mick you win, and loose! all at the same time buddy

Irfan, you are thinking along the exact same lines as me on this one.. I bought my Zed for 12.5k, spent around 4k on it and sold it for a massive and i mean massive loss... There are cars (like the ones in the OP) that are modified to a level and in a style that I would almost copy, so it makes sense to get one of said cars and put my own personal touch on it your car looks awesome Irfan, good work! was there anything you think to look out for (ive done research, but anything would help) You dont see alot of Skylines in Glasgow, but I really want one I am not in dire need of the GTR as the GTST will fill my need perfectly and although the midnight purple would suit many people, I am colour blind and really do like the white ones thanks for the replies so far

I was thinking that exact thing last night.. was going to look online today

So, As I was turned into a Jap enthusiast and more specifically a Nissan fan, I've decided on a Skyline R33 as my next car... I was going to as stated a few years back, return to the Zeds, but as it happens that will wait until the future when my garage can hold a weekend and sun runner... I know there are a number of Skyline enthusiasts in our midsts and in general a bunch of really, really clued up petrolheads within the Forum, and its you guys I am calling on for any tips, hints and pointers that you can give.. My budget for getting back to Jap is not as much as I would like (£4.5k - at a push £6k) and within this range there a few good looking and sounding (sales ads and forum write ups) R33 GTST's (GTR for the budget I have would not be a quality item of course) and I will post the links to 5 of the leading list that I have been making over the last 2 weeks.. My question is, plainly... what do you guys think.. Again, I thank this forum for being the wealth of knowledge and hours of fun that it is (nothing like a bit of buttering up the members ) Now with the cars there are things that I find undesirable, but there are pros as well.. I've named a few bits below.. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201305266964607 (low miles) http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/skyline-r33/nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-spec-2-automatic/1378690 (AUTO) http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/skyline-r33/stunning-nissan-skyline/1407318 (bonnet... prefer all white look) http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/skyline/nissan-skyline-r33-gtst-2-5-single-turbo-350-bhp-rwd/1330314 (red interior) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201305166796314 (big spec) http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=202589 (no Service History, but has forum history from Lassa tyres, Richard McCourt, Simon Perry ) *(It is sold from the forum, but the current owner in Durham cant keep insured, so is on eBay)* So, fire away guys and gals.. all and any help/ info is greatly appreciated..

In pain we stand united, until it gets too much.. then we have to sit down and take some co-codomol

Id never blame the Zed, even though the timeline fits I use a hard foam roller at times and the effect it has is great, but with the wrong movement (not by design of course) It can hurt quite a bit.. Ive had a few car issues after the Zed, one being the gearbox on my BMW 330D M sport giving up (tiptronic) 5k repair.. safe to say I got rid, got a runner after that in a Ford Mondeo 2.5 v6 ghia x, then a Volvo V50 that I gave up to my parents as being medically discharged caused me to have a lack of funds and now i am the proud owner of an MGF 2001 BUT!!!.... on Friday the 15th of this glorious month, I am planning to travel back to the badlands (England ) and take ownership of a Nissan Skyline R33 GTST in white if all goes well next week with work and funds fingers are well and truly crossed!

Ive had an MRI that shows the issue (Feb 2010) and there has been some periods of worsening and of course periods of time when i feel better.. The Physios and doctors I had in my two bouts of 3 week intensive rehab have been highly trained RAF and civilian therapists and sports therapists, from the injury, ive got a twist on my hips and muscle degradation in my calf's, also a R knee issue, ruptured R quad and issues with my R ankle.. all from 2001, 2004 and 2008 respectively.

The main issue with trying for surgery is that it is Disc bulges, not Prolapsed Disc.. and with this, they have more or less said that pain management through not overdoing anything is the only course (as you's have noted, second private opinion will be sought when I am in place at work properly as I dont want to screw this opportunity up before it even begins) The pain is the obvious physical effects, but what alot of people don't comprehend is the mental anguish that chronic pain causes, feelings of uselessness, depression, anger, mood swings etc (the list is extensive) and couple these with PTSD from Afghanistan caused by both the Injury and the aftermath and your in for a hell of a ride. Pain killers wise, Tramadol has no effect on me, same as the intravenous 10mg of morphine i was given in Afghan, the steroid injections also had no effect and now I feel that the 30/500 co-codomol is giving little help. Im glad your recovery is going well Ekona, getting your life back must be in so many ways a freedom that you never thought you'd get Good luck VeilsideZ, I really do hope it goes well, I wouldn't with this lifestyle on anyone! I am positive in the most part, that's why the OP was aiming for the likes of has anyone tried a chiropractor or poss Acupuncture or maybe even someone doing a highland jig on their spine

Yeah, my squash career has taken a dive the straight leg stretching works in certain stretches, but severe aggravation in others.. twisted to get out of bed earlier and feel like I've been Teakwondo kicked to the spine! The docs, surgeon and physio said that surgery isn't an option for me as my back pain is 90% of the source and leg pain is only 10%, but its scary when I get pins and needles where I shouldn't because of inflamed nerves.. New job in Thales Glasgow starting Monday, so really hoping for some sort of respite..

Hi everyone, Having been a member of the forum for a few years and knowing there are more than a few of us that suffer with back issues (glass backs as my old Military comrades named it) I thought id ask on here and see if there are any personal treatments or methods that you guys use to calm the symptoms and make daily life more bearable.. For me, I have bad nerve damage in the lower spine, along with numbness in my right leg.. Now I'm slightly younger than most sufferers of chronic back pain (28 now), it started in Jan 2010 in Afghanistan and I was medically discharged for it. I find cycling and swimming are the only real methods of fitness training that I can carry out without severe pain, but daily tasks do cause me to have bad episodes, and when I have a good day, I do too much and then have a bad day.. There are some stretches I can ease some pain with etc.. Just wondering what else people do/ use. Oh, just got a new bed yesterday, silentnight microcoil with memory topper (Super Kingsize of course) on an ivory leather sled bed looking forward to anyone's input. Will
