As per title.

I don't want heated seats or anything like that (even if Nissan did heated in cloth) just some bog standard cloth seats in good nick.

if i don't respond on here feel free to pm me.

Back in the day, Subaru, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Audi, Lancia and Nissan all had their loyal fans thanks to homoglomation of certain cars. Probably due to no Playstation and the like. That created a subculture from the group-B rally days of 600hp 4-pot monsters. After, as said, it transformed into fans from computer games as already mentioned. I for one was that person. Spending evenings with the curtains closed and the TV and Playstation on in my bedroom playing GT and N for S. It certainly introduced me to certain cars like the ones already mentioned. Both are reasons why some cars will go up in value. Just a cult following of like minded people who have a nostalgic view of certain cars they couldn't afford at the time but can now.

As some of you know, i recently bought a Pulsar Gti-R. Why? Because they look like a turbo pram and have chocolate gear boxes? No, just simply because i can remember them being used in rally and my uncle had one when they were new. There was nothing else like it at the time and i just loved its quirky looks and the fact that Nissan threw everything at it apart from the kitchen sink. Whenever there is a Pulsar for sale on ebay, it always gets around 50 people watching. Loyal fans who want to get their chance of picking up their dream machine.

My cousin had one of these and i drove it a couple of times. I think they are epic, a proper screaming engine with excellent handling. My only thoughts on the drive were that when push came to shove and you really grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, tended to be a bit sketchy/twitchy round corners which made me look like for a few seconds. But that was probably down to my not so great driving ability.

After watching "cars that made Britain great" which said that a mint Ford Capri can fetch prices of up to 25k these days, maybe in 15 years the Zed, which will make the DE zed roughly 30 years old, might fetch a similar price. Who knows?

That's pretty cool

Yes, i classically got it wrong. i was under the impression that my wife and i were not doing valentine's day anymore. Didn't bother getting a card or flowers and lo and behold, out pops a surprise valentines card that read " better together ". I could feel the tide of insensitive bay pulling me out to its icy waters to flounder.

Yep, she wasn't happy that i didn't at least get her a card so i suppose i had better set up a surprise for the weekend.

The Jag dwarfs the Zed

happy birthday fella wishing you all the best!!

13.2 seconds in my old Gt-four @ Santa. The Pulsar GTi-R is supposed to do it in 12 but i haven't done that myself.

 

What mods were you running on the GT4?

Motec ECU Mapped at fensport by Adrian

Hybrid turbo

straight intake

Bored out inlet mani and exaust mani

Xs power downpipe

Custom made stainless steel exaust system

Super thick front mount Intercooler

Stripped out

All running @ 1.3 bar

There were more mods but they didn't improve the straight line performace.

well, i had a 2005 (11 years old at the time) DE which made 280 @ the fly before my re-map which i was pleasantly surprised about.

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword!!!

And

F-Zero GX on the Game Cube. Haven't played it in 15 years and it's still amazing!!

Wasn't it the Pontiac fire-bird that was used as KIT in Knight rider?

Y fronts!!!

Thong!!! ( like Stringfellow )

yeah, i know this all too well. I gave up after a while and opted for a standard bumper that actually bends.

So, what car is it?

Skinny jeans (elasticated or not) with no socks and sailor pumps

Or

Anything from a department store that has some kind of nautical theme for their clothing that has some gash symbol on it like, a ships steering wheel that says " established 1897" what? What was established in 1897?

Bit of a long shot but, if you have leak down the side of the head or block then run the car till its super hot it'll make a smell in the cabin. Or if you have spilt oil whilst putting it in, that'll make a smell when hot too.

i'd happily pay 90k for a toyota/lexus/nissan. As long as it is special in some way and the price can be justified, why not?

Lexus IFA is a lot of money. It's a posh toyota.

Coupe!

i think it looks a little like an ugly Z4.

How's it going?

Not bad. Got most of the plastics. Got my eye on a set of red Recaro seats from a type R that i might buy. Got the coilovers already, track rod ends and drop links.

I'm Just deliberating over what wheels to get once i figure out what offsets the pulsar can take and blah blah blah.

I'm also thinking of getting a bespoke carpet made for it.

first thing i spotted in my zed when digging about is what can only be described as a remarkably large bogey. Must've had nostrils like a hippo. And frankfurters for fingers too.
