Not sure about the z but I personally find Tein springs a little harder than eibach, I have the latter on my Fabia vrs daily and they are fine

Was very sad to hear this , also a fan of the Professionals , subsequently had a few Capris both 3.0l and 2.8's That "who dares wins" movie was a bit pony though

Epic , best I start saving and have an austerity Xmas !

It's the first non oem part on my car ! I'm not a carbon whore but do like a good slam panel to tidy things up

I've been using paints4u kits for a few years , good stuff

Not used the Hampshire one but I've used Wheel Specialist in Swindon and they were very good

After scaring myself to death hearing a chattering noise at 1500rpm I'm now confident its the well known transmission chatter Any easy fixes for this , thinking a change of oil may help as will some molyslip but any other suggestions ?

The Eagles hit Hotel California was a blatant rip off of a Jethro Tull song , "We used to know" . The Eagles supported Jethro Tull in the early 70's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sJA_VF5c7U

Nah Docwra - its a forum mate, thats what they are for, expressing views.....else we'd all be stuck in BWM boxes!! The R33GTR does feel a lot bigger than the Z, especial width. Surprisingly though an R33GTR (non V spec) is 1600KG - which is roughly the weight of a 350Z GT ??? Really? I thought the 33 & 34 both felt the same size as a Z, if anything a bit narrower The 34 is a fair bit narrower and only 200mm longer

Don't think there is any point comparing a stock skyline with a stock z33 , I've been around skylines since 2005 and I've yet to see a totally stock one ! With minimal mods even the gtst is a very competent car and very rewarding to drive , the GTR has always felt a bit heavy to me I've only driven a couple of 33's around 400hp but the 2wd models always appealed more to me .

Chaucer are one of the few companies who will deal with heavily modified cars , I've been with a few brokers over the years with mine but always underwritten by Chaucer. It's not easy to shop around

Only the r34 GTR got the 6 speed box the 32/33 had the 5 speed

There is a lot to be said for a skyline over a zed but they are so old now trying to get a decent one is getting harder Hence why I went the opposite way

Mine failed the emissions yesterday Tester told me to replace the exhaust before next year and passed it Like most things it depends on the tester on the day

Yeah you see so many people with turbo cars speccing too large a unit my Evo 6 had a nice spread of torque , even with a sick engine the graph looked like this

Cool thread , pretty much the same as i'm planning on mine.

The 26 never got variable valve timing unlike the 2jz , which makes such a big difference on the road and to general drivability, in fact the 26 had little development from '89 but the RB25 was developed right up to the end , thats why many people think the RB25 neo is the pinnacle of the RB engines , a stock RB25 neo makes more torque at a lower rpm than a stock rb26 , the saving grace of the 26 though is its potential for tuning but as Tricky Ricky says the LS motor has a huge potential for tuning since the market is many times bigger than that for the 26 and economies of scale make many of the parts surprising cheap especially if you are used to tuning Skylines. I was planning to fit an LS engine to my 33 GTST , was considering a RB30 build as well but the LS was going to be about 30% cheaper for a 600/600 build

Cheers for mine looks great

If the problem is with Privilege they why give them your business ? This is what you get buying a product based on price rather then quality , if i cant get the service i want i go elsewhere , if everyone did that these companies would have to shape up and start supplying a service that benefits customers rather than what benefits themselves

Write to them , and your previous insurer prior to aviva to see if they have the renewal documentation

Shhhh the old boys are having a rant

Bugger just thought as the aftermarket stuff seems to be grouped together

If it will fit the hr 350 ill take it ! Pm sent

I'm thinking exactly the same ! Can't stretch to buying anything this side of Xmas but looking to do the lot in the new year provided it's not too loud

But if you don't get any further discount does it really matter ?
