I don't worry about needing winter tyres personally , I know I can drive to the conditions , being able to stop quicker than the car behind is not always a good thing.

I know they can be of benefit , I used to live in Canada but I'm not convinced they are of benefit over here as if the roads really get bad enough to need them then everywhere is closed anyhow and the hills get blocked with stuck 44t trucks.

I'd run the winter car and keep the zed tucked up myself

£6k will see you in a 34gtt , I paid less than that for mine last year

 

 

Stunning, less than £6k??

£4600 . Needed a fair bit of tlc but not a lot of money , but then I can do most things myself

Until she has worked there two years she has no employment rights anyway, so whilst talks of "what's in her contract " etc are sometimes useful in this case they aren't necessarily going to be of any use

It will change quite a bit after a while , stainless systems mellow once they get carbon inside them and sound nicer

How long has she worked there ?

From what I understand there are two sensors each side so four, the regular O2 ones which sit before the cat and two that sit after the cat and measure its efficiency , it's these sensors that are troublesome setting off cel lights etc and these are the ones disabled during up rev.

So cats or no cats won't make any difference

Ducks were also regarded as fish for Tudor Christians where fish had to be eaten on Fridays

His is topless though

If you need some help I have a day planned in the garage tomorrow if you fancy a drive up the a34 i could take a look for you

Kris Kristofferson was in the movie Convoy which helped fuel the craze for CB radio in the UK

In the Navy is an Abbott and Costello film made to support a US draft prior to the USA coming in WW"

check the engine is getting up to temp as well , could be stuck thermostat

Yeah sure pm me

Thought the 86 was under 200hp as well

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

Fair enough Aidan, thats pretty balanced TBF, sorry if I sound like some kind of argumentative arsehole

 

I personally found that the handling feedback and predictability on the Z is better than the R33 GTR but TBF I havent owned one, only driven a few, I also dont think a GTST holds a candle to it as standard but again Ive only driven one or two, I just find the Z to be more involving and rewarding. Ive had a similar argument with certain people on the SXOC about 350Z vs S14, some of it comes down to taste but they both (S14 and R33) feel a bit outdated when up against a 350Z for me

 

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 .
