  2. yep thats the way, you can get a antenna for about £50 and all you need is a copy of tomtom and your away. I did try a copy of tomtom on it and it worked but was for sweden!? so not much good lol

  5. yeh it was a stunner but unless you have someone trusted in japan you takes your chances, thats why i dint go for it in the end, glad i didnt now
  6. amazing how its changed from having trust internals and running a 3.1 ltr to now having a tomie 3.2 ltr engine !?!
  7. Just found my original thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=40540 cant have been in this country for long, would have liked to see it run as it had run in the low 10's in japan Mike
  8. Did this car run at santa pod on sunday? Dont know if you all remember but i was umming and arring about either this car or the silver T88 supra a few months ago so was suprised to see it there?? Also saw a price board on the back seat off £23k!!! not bad profit being as i could have imported it for 15k all in!! Mike
  9. Running HKS 2530 turbos etc etc Looks a nice conversion but as good as the RB26 engine is why stick one in a supra as the supra engine has got to be as tuneable?? Mike
  10. Went on thursday and picked my new skyline up on friday most people think i'm mad going from a R33 to a R32 but i decided i want to get the most from my toys so want to start going on regular track days and doing the odd 1/4 mile so my R33 was a pure show car and would have cost thousands to get it upto speed etc so saw this one and its perfect. No comments about cortinas as i have already had them http://www.kirbz-zed.co.uk/r32%207.JPG As you can see already a pussy magnet For the full spec and more pics there on my site http://www.kirbz-zed.co.uk Mike
  11. We went on our hols to the dominican in june and had a terrible time, the food was crap, there was nothing for our child to do even though there was meant to be a kids club etc, the rooms were crap and at the weekends the hotel got invaded by locals and all i could do to describe them is animals!! So we were counting the days down till we flew back, i mean my wife was so upset that she tried to get a flight back after 3 days!! Wrote into First Choice and got a response 8 weeks later saying "sorry you had a bad holiday experience, different countries prepare foods differently so this may be why you didnt find the food upto standard. Its a shame when people cant behave themselves when they visit the resort. We are sorry again but hope you enjoy your next holiday with first choice" WTF i wanted my money back and i got that Camping in th lakes for me from now on
  12. On my old supra it had the F40 brake set up and worked really well, i also had the same set up on my 300zx but on my skylark it has the 6 pot AP's and all i can say is WOW The stopping power is awsome so i would say AP's all the way Mike
  13. Yeh must be that TBH honest it has not blown me away as yet but i suppose i have gone from a 400+bhp 300zx to a 700 bhp supra which was mental to a 450 bhp skyline so yes its very sure footed but power wise i dont get out and say WOW but i already have most the bits for it to add another 50+ BHP so will see how it feels then
  14. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=526454#post526454 Regards Mike
  15. Shite completely forgot mate!! Will get them sent out first thing monday Mike
  16. Yeh i'm undecided on the front yet, i love the rest of the kit but the front is also very low so i will give it a few months and see how much i smash it up then change it for something else
  17. Sorry guys but after lots of sleepless nights pondering whether to import a lovely silver single turbo supra i decided that for that kinda money i would try a skyline. So far i like it, its a little pimp as everything has been re-trimmed in purple and it needs a few jobs doing but i got it for a good price and the volk rims are just scrummy Polished it up yesterday so took some nice pics Hope you enjoy Pics Mike
  18. Well coming from owning several 300zx's and more recently owning a supra i have quite a good alround view on things so here goes. If you want a car for the looks then it has to be a 300zx IMHO If you want a fast car which is built better and more reliable then go for the supra. Both cars can be tuned, the supra is easier as quite simply its easier to work on so theres more people tuning them and the parts are cheaper but if you have the time and effort you can tune the 300zx very well and to be honest in standard mode theres not much between them performance wise and when you add bits on ie filter, boost increase you can get either of them to 350+RWHP The only real way to decide is drive them both and see which you prefer...easy!! Mike
  19. the r32 is the purest of the skylines and some say the best if not the ugliest lol but i think you need to drive a 4wd car before you say that the supra hasmore grip!!! lmao I have not had a gtr but driven a few and a few decent power ones and i have had a high power supra and i'm sorry but on the twisty stuff etc an equal power r32 would beat the supra...thats if bother driver were equal. Saying that what car am i getting next...a supra what can i say i'm a rear wheel drive junky Mike
  20. i was just going on what he said that his mate has experience on the drag strip so with that and the fact that his R32 has at least the same power in a lighter car with 4WD...technically it should win IMO
  21. I wouldnt race him just jet!! i would say at the moment unless he had a really bad start or you got a real flyer then you would lose mate. Is the R32 grey? i think i know which car your on about as i thought about it as its a nice car and a great starting car to build. From memory from the mods done which i think was more than stage 1 mods then it will make 400 bhp easily and remember it is lighter, has more traction and everyone says the supra will do it on a rolling start...the N1 engine i think is a 2.7 ltr as it has N1 oversized pistons so it would be close on a rolling start but in a drag it would win by a good second or so. All IMHO of course Stick a HKS t51kai on yours then race him
  22. they do look nice. there on a supra that i'm looking at in japan Mike
