    Rough power?

    i would say with UK fuel 500 rwhp give or take maybe 550
  2. The skyline market has now been hit like all the rest of them!! you will get the price but will take time as the average R33 price now is around the 12-13k mark Mike
  3. a friend is selling his Red R34 and i would snap it up but its a little out of my budget as he wants £55k but the spec is amazing maybe he will reduce it by £15k and let me trade my 300zx in as well
  4. nice car but i wouldnt pay anywhere near £25k for it?? if memory serves its been for sale for a while?? no direspect but he will be lucky to get £20k for it very lucky, is a very nice, well put together motor
  5. i know not even got 1 never mind 2 but even now when i pass one i still think hmmm 911 and when i pass a boxter i think hmmm he couldnt afford a 911
  6. See i look at a car like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-PORSCHE-911-CARRERA-2-CABRIOLET_W0QQitemZ4634599210QQcategoryZ9860QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and just think it would be nice to own one especially of my company are paying for it
  7. I think the main problem with going down the R34 route is i would have to get rid of my 300zx to fund it as a decent one is still pushing £40k!! Must admit i do love the nobles but needs to house a kid!!
  8. thing is i dont want a rep mobile as this is for me, i just think its a good opportunity to be able to afford something a bit special??
  9. Been thinking of sending my company car back and getting the car allowance so been doing a few sums and i think i might just buy a crappy vectra deisel for nipping on longer journeys and buy something really nice. Not sure if the 300zx will come into the equation but if i get something that gives me the same buzz then maybe?? So come on what would you buy?? So far ive come up with a R34 GTR and a Porche 996 cab?? Also to add it will be used now and again for customer visits so nothing really silly Just sick of handing over stupid amounts of tax when i might as well get my company to pay me to have a nice car Mike
  10. I have 4 x 76mm to 51mm straight reducers in blue Been on the car for a few weeks but charging the pipework Cost £15 each so open to offers if anyone is interested?? Mike
  11. Far from jealous mate, like liverpool we have been there done that and still there. Yes well done to them but if they didnt have 270m to spend would they be there?? so unlike man u, liverpool etc who yes spend alot on players but only tends to be 1 or 2 big signings a season not 10 or 12 Trust me they would swap this championship this year to be in arsenals place Cant beat winning the european cup........oh sorry chelsea dont know Come on england
  12. no i meant competing to sign for players across europe like ronaldinio etc but when another one comes along unless that player has a perticular reason to sign for a certain club theres only one club which will sign them!! just take SWP what a waste, Duff even Joe cole to a certain degree all top players and none of which get week in week out first team football?? a waste if you ask me. in his last Inland Revenue audit mr chelsea has wealth and assets worth approx 2.5 billion, dont believe everything you read in the paper but to be faor to him most of it is cold hard cash!! unlike most the other richest people
  13. at the moment i would agree with you but i dont think Sven will but it would be a good kick up him backside for mr dredlocks infact i think when he played this year wes brown played better than rio. i think cole is much better than gerrard at going forward and making things happen so i would move gerrard to the middle, lampard out left and cole sat behind the front 2
  14. I think Joe Cole can do a good job for us as well i dont think sven will use crouch that much, only when he needs something late on in a game? Fingers crossed for Rooney as i thought we would have a chance with him but i just cant see him without?? hope i'm wrong but i will be there to see it
  15. yeh but the difference is Utd were one of several clubs which competed for the signings of great players but chelsea have just made the transfer market a farce and i know they have that Russian maffia erm i mean business man behind them but when you look at them as a business they dont make sense!! there losing money left right and centre and even though the russian has 2 billion in the bank, chelea have already eaten over half a billion of his money!! Cough****money laundering****Cough :p
  16. Has to be said even though i'm a Man Utd fan well done to them, upto the second half i thought Man U were out playing them but its one of them when you commit too much going forward you can get hit and thats what happened so the score flattered them i think Saying that i was just reading about how much in the last 2 seasons the top 4 clubs have spent with Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal all spending around the 80-90 million mark and chelsea spending 270 million Now if it was my club i suppose i would not be bothered but from a football loving person i suppose it does make it very very hard for any other club to challenge them now because as they have over the last 2-3 years if anyone who is any good comes on the market they just buy them regardless if they actually want them?? Anyway they cant say there a great club until they have won the european cup like Man U and Liverpool Mike
  17. Post on behalf of a friend on the 300zx club so if anyone is interested please email Leigh on [email protected] They are four Trafficstar STM alloys in silver finish with a highly polished deep dish rim and diamond cut bolts: 2 x 19"x8.5" 2 x 19"x9.5" They come wrapped in the new shape Toyo Proxy T1-R tyres: 2 x 235/35/19 2 x 265/30/19 Due to the offset there may be issues fitting these to a standard Zed (+20 front, +17 rear), ideally they're for use on a wide-arch kitted car. Also the centre bore is larger than the standard Zed size (72 as oppose to 66) however this is easily remedied with inserts. I think they were originally intended to be fitted to a supra when he bought them but he was fitting them to a wide arch 300 Stunning wheels Price wise he didnt put up a price but if you email him i am sure he will have a figure in mind for them Cheers Mike
  18. Yeh i like mine, not because i ever change it as its always set to softest but the control box looks cool I had to remove BOTH my strut braces to fit them
  19. what times it on?? get jon to text me when you both can come over so i can get her out and drive her to my dads Mike
  20. cheers mate well if you both want to come round to my dads tomorrow then let me know as we have some ideas but as you say the more ideas the better Mike
  21. Yeh there pretty big Greddy TD05H-18G's
  22. yeh check all the connectors on the ignition amp, CAS and MAF most likely is its not running on all cylinders so pull the connectors off each coilpack and you will hear the engine dip so plug it back in and do that for all 6 Also could be a dicky o2 sensor
  23. yep i was, mainly down to the fact i know the smaller version of my turbos have made 600 at the wheels so bigger ones shouldnt have any problems?? but looks like i need to do more work to help it get there with regars to the filters behind the fmic, it was the only place we could get them without major fabrication as there meant to go there but its also meant to have smic so looks like its gonna be loads more work I do like the look of that supra engine conversion though
  24. i think its also to do with the length of the pipework to the turbos as it comes from near the bottom rear of each side up and under the lights, makes a 90 degree turn and the filters are sat behind the fmic so i would guess a good 3 foot of pipe to pull air through!! so ive ordered a load of 76mm ali pipework to make some more up which will involve a little cutting but going to mount the filters where the side mounts used to be for a little more flow. I keep looking at this video and thinking "hmmmmmmm that would solve a few problems with space" right click save as
