  1. Seems like a bit of a mine field with that all said, puts me right off thinking of buying it especially not being fully mechanically aware,
  2. Thx all That's a bucket full of good advice there, especially Ekona you rely say it as it is and make me lean towards the mx5, I did go to buy one 2 months ago but turned it down after giving it the once over and test drive, I think this put me off them altogether but it was because I was buying to flip it. Had a look on fleabay and looking at Bidding on a locost on eBay with a 2l pinto in it, item no. 221275198836
  3. Looking at buying a locost or Westfield to do some track days, got about 3-4k to spend, but then thought why not put my zed on the track, it's a totally stock 2005 94k, just had full p3 new discs pads etc, the only issues are clutch related, has the soft sticking pedal when hot so prob needs slave cyl and hose kit"are these hard to fit" what's the overall cost, my other worry is that if I took it on track and the dual mass flywheel went would this cause further extensive damage to the car, reason I say this is because I get very loud scary thuds when dropping from say 4th to 3rd gear with heavy acceleration, which I have been told by a specialist is likely my flywheel, clutch don't slip yet, would rather the comfort as well on track as my back is not very good and I keep getting spasms in my spine. Perhaps the best action may be do the whole clutch assembly and be confident its done but then don't want to waste a possibly good clutch which can be used up on track and put the money on tyres etc Thoughts appreciated "only positive ones please"
  4. Just called them, very friendly and welcomed us up there and yes track days available, waiting for the prices, but I'm sure they will be high. Def going on either fri/ sat even if its just to watch, we can also do some shopping in Ronda to please the wife. Will let you know how it goes.
  5. I'm down in southern Spain and just realized the ascari circuit is only 60 min away, has anyone been on this track and is it worth the drive?
  6. Congrats on doing your car so fast, it is defiantly a rare color !! Good luck with the rest of it.
  7. "Thumbs" Always turns my head when I see one. Was at Donny on a track day watching a turbo version as well as couple of others a couple of weeks back, very impressive.
  8. Thx, your probably correct, just read up also the engine bore liners have had problems wearing out on 96-2000, so may give it a wide berth.
  9. Thought I might get this car for a project, it has some rust on the rear arches and rear panel as on the pictures, it's has no known mechanical problems, 12 mths mot, 4 months tax. Who thinks this is a reasonable price and how serious does that rust look. I remember someone on here had a black xk? I was thinking to chop out the rust and re form fill and spray. I really fancy getting one to test it out and sell it when I've had my way with it LOL...
  10. Just seen this skyline on ebay after a lovely day at donnington park, can anyone tell me if it represents good value at 3.2k Apparently no rust underneath, although I can see a tiny bit on the suspension, it passed mot with no faults. Only want it for track days and weekends etc. Looks like it has some good mods, but as I know jack hopefully you can help... Thx Look at this on eBay: Nissan Skyline R33 GTS Turbo 334BHP!!! http://bit.ly/14r4aTo
  11. My son and I are here at the services already, spent the day at Donny watching the track day and chatting to some kit car owners,,, really want one now!!! Been looking at the v storm kit car, we must avoid the dusty road into Donny as my zed was completely smothered lol, see you guys in the morning.
  12. Can't believe it just got into the car to leave for Donni and the postman gave me the surcharge, went down to pick up the tickets. On my way now!!!

  15. Perhaps japfest would email the stand passes so we can print them off?
  16. I would imagine it was sent 1st class, so should be here by now !!!! I've also booked a room sat night at donnington park to save an early rise.
  17. Will the splitter fit an 04 oem bumper, how is it fitted and what do you want for it Thx
  18. That's so impressive, just tried to wrap my roof it was very difficult , ended up removing it due to a few creases etc. I live in Essex , would you be up for wrapping my z, if so pm me. Thx
  19. Looks really cool !! Was it easy to lift the pillars? Do you need to remove the rubber of the door seal to get the b pillars up, are there any tricky bits to lift these. Thx,
