£6K for a GTR?? I've been told by import companies to be looking at a minimum of £20k to get a car here, New Era dont think it can be done for <£27k I've had the Z for 3 years now & the next step is FI. I just think that the money I would use to go FI is better put towards a car that is built for boost. I will own another Z one day but I have wanted a skyline since I was 10 so even if I only own it for a year, I can say that I have owned my childhood poster car. Yes, even as a child I was a ricer

No FI Z is 100% safe without internal work A few UK zeds have gone bang below the 400bhp mark. If you are deadly serious about FI then IMO there is no better place to spend a few days than on my350Z in the FI section.

Single exits are the future, you will all soon learn that The R34 I drove was a complete shed. But it didnt feel a lot different from the . For the size & weight of it, it felt a lot smaller & agile than it looks. These are just a few of the problems I noticed with the car - Paint was blistering on the c pillar, spoiler & door - There was a rattling noise when the clutch was pressed to change into 2nd - most of the screws for the engine cover were missing - the door was constantly rattling - there was a rattle coming from the boot area - the bonnet release was broken & hanging down in the foot well I never had any intention of buying it though, I just needed a test drive to make sure I was doing the right thing. If I can't find a nice car already in the UK when I sell the Z then I will be going straight to JM imports to import my own

If you look in Marks thread you will find a comparison between a stock and a tuned zed with no mods. There were gains in the right places, better throttle control and I belive better economy. Dynos are close but it depends on operators and what gear the car is in as well as variables like if the dyno has been calibrated well. Stock zeds on the dyno tend to come in close to the given BHP, some have come in low but that can also be down to compression, sparks etc etc. Main thing is to find some one you trust (as well as others) get a dyno reading and continue on that same dyno for the rest of the work. I think you could be right on the cost effective route.. If I started again, the first thing on the car would be a charger or some mild but upgradeable TT... But I have roughly a 40bhp (and shed loads more torque) increase over when I had the car 1st dynoed (think it was about 228 at the wheel and is now 271 at the hub) and the car performs soo much better so am happy with what I got... For now!! +1 If I started again my first purchase would be a Vortech

Whining? Me? Never

Quite right viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1548 GReddy front/sides, Big gay wing & horrible wheels

Wasn't it veilside kitted? I vaguely remember it being crap

Ill take them off if whoever buys them also pays to get them removed

i think its a good idea Your not always right about the overpriced thing either

i had heard it was a micra 1.5dci Imagine the torques with that

I knew youd say that Colour is fine, its the fastest Hopefully it will stay around here, I definatley will be

When I test drove a skyline a few weeks ago I told the sales man I had to go home & discuss it with the wife

Not entirely true I think that DjTimo is running a square setup & there are a lot of guys in the US that run it with adverse effects

Excellent work, One of the very few cars that can pull off the Veilside kit

Very difficult. Its taken 3 years to get it to that stage & way to much money on overpriced JDM parts I really want a Bayside but they seem to bring a premium, I would settle for white or black aswell

Fixed. ;)

Happy Birthday

This is exactly why I only post after the job is finished

Takatas next? Brides to match the rails? I want Jerrys Takatas
