Thats the silver supra i'm looking at , at the moment, its very very nice but just a touch outside my budget so trying to get them to reduce it a little

it wouldnt translate the yahoo site for me until i installed the japanese language!? my pc must be a little mental like me Mike

You first need to go to the microsoft website and download the japanese language then it will display the page in japanese and then you will be aboe to translate it and not get just question marks

Cheers dude, so do i If theres anything i dont like about the car i will walk away, if one thing i have learnt in all my years of buying is that if you have a bad feeling then its not worth it and hit the road but fingers crossed and i should hear in the next few days if its a go'er or not then a bloody 9/10 week wait to get the thing and all the shows will be over Mike

TBH the more info i get on the silver one the more i think that thats got a stroker kit on as its got topsecret pistons, conrods and crankshaft. Dont know how good their parts are but there one of the top tuners in the world The red one is the current jap national ammature drag champion car timed at 10.4 sec so its pretty quick Mike

The guys from the 300zx club are trying to arrange a monthly meet in chester at "The Eight Rights" on the way to Sealand Road, lovely food and a big car park, dont ask where that is as i have not a clue but they are looking to start it this month on the 30th which is a thursday night at about 7.30pm. Its going to be a mixed bag of cars as some of the mr2 club will be there and the celica club as well so if anyones interested then let me know and i will let chris who is arranging it know. Cheers guys and gals Mike

Right made up my mind, of course its got to be the silver one as i just love the way it looks, in fact i usually hate those nasty looking spoilers but it suits the car!? so just waiting now for an engineers report from japan and i have a load of questions i have asked which i want answering first and if i am happy then roll on 8 weeks (ish) Cheers for all your opinions guys Mike

Yeh its a trader on the 300zx club and says it still runs A1 and doesnt miss a beat. I do love my nissans but i doubt you would see a skylark or 300 etc with 1/4 million miles on them!! Mike

I know what your all saying and i agree to a certain extent and thats why i would want to know all the history on either car before opening the wallet. With regards to the turbo TBH i know what a T88 feels like and yeh there a big old truck turbo but they are proven and lets face it how much would it cost to bang a GT42r turbo on there....about £1200 from the US but what i'm looking for is Fueling ECU Internals Cams Suspension Electronics etc etc Ive been down the road of buying a standard car and spending £££££'s on tuning it and yes its very satisfying doing it but come on how much would it cost to buy a really nice 6 speed TT thats standard, fit a nice kit and wheels (maybe not the F&F spoiler ) take the engine out and rebuild it, buy the a turbo kit, fit coilovers, fit a new ECU etc etc etc I bet to get a car somewhere near either one you would have to spend a min of 8-10k on a decent starting example and spend 15k to get it to a "reliable" 700bhp car Mike

Well lets face it any "tuned" car is going to be worked hard at some time i understand that and it will be worked hard if i got it but what i look for is how fresh is the engine, what parts are fitted, whos the work been done by and i think you can get an idea of what kind of life the cars lived then IMHO Mike

Its been on the auction site before (silver one) and didnt make its reserve so yes it may be at 1.3m but unlikely to go for that but that price i quoted is at worse and i have had really good feedback about the import company!? but dont get me wrong i know what you mean as they could do a deal for alot less than they tell me? but i suppose that could be said for any imported car so its always gonna be a chance. I hate car buying

I agree and i think there volk split rims The red one has oversized forged pistons, which if i was building a beast it would be the first thing i would have done to handle the increased boost.

Yeh it needs clear indicators I was looking at a 1996 R33 with 700ish bhp, 6 speed seq box etc but with the SVA it would have cost about 3k to put back to standard to get through the model report or i suppose i could have garaged it up for a year but your still looking at a 9 year old car!! obviously if money wasnt the object then its R34 time but i havnt got 30+k to spend I must admit the more i look at the silver one the more i want it http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m14617621 Looks in good nick as well Mike

well i have been looking at a few but the problem with them is to get a really well sorted one your looking at 18+k or go for an R32 and given the choice i would rather have a supra. I dint think 15k was bad for a car with that sort of spec!? i know i sold mine for alot cheaper but it was not as complete car as either of these. Mike

I had apexi's on my 300zx and they were loud, i presume they do a kit for the supra??

Where does the shopping go in the boot Very nice Mike

After getting rid of my supra as it had too many things that needed doing i am looking at getting a new toy/weapon been dealing with julian at Japanese Direct Imports and he seems a good chap and knows what he;s talking about, i have been looking at some high power R32's and R33's but i am steering to another supra as they seem better value at the moment and he's told me to have a look at these 2, i prefer the silver one as it looks stunning but the red one is a higher spec so honest opinions please Silver one T88-34D turbo Forged Pistons/Conrods HKS F Con 720cc Injectors Trust Intercooler Etc Red One T88-34D Turbo 3.1 ltr Trust Pistons/Trust Conrods HKS F Con 850cc Injectors Blitz Intercooler etc Both between 15 and 16k imported? Mike

Good mate, not got any wheels yet apart from my girlie 307cc lol but when i get back from my hols then will be either a skyline gtr or poss another supra, had my eye on a few and showed jon and he's thinking of getting one now so could be a few more supra's round here soon. Next time your at jons get him to text me and i will pop round. Mike

You will have to pop round or meet up and john's (white 300zx) so i can have a butchers. Looks good though but i wouldnt boot it too much until it gets mapped!! last thing you want is it to go "bang" Mike

As much as i would love to see Arsenal kicked out they qualified fair and square, you cant just change the rules because you dont happen to like them this year!! Could you imagine what the liverpool fans would be saying if it was everton who had just won it and they wanted liverpools place in the cup!!

I dont think they should be able to defend it, the cup is the champions league cup so its the champions of the domestic league qualify and in our case the top 4 teams in the league. UEFA have already said tonight that they will deffo not change the rules this year and rightly so and it is upto the FA to choose the 4 teams but i just heard from a source that Everton have already threatened the FA with legal action if they try to kick them out so looks like it will be at least a few years before they can have another go!! Thought the pic was funny lol Mike

Its funny but after i replied to his email saying he was full of shite and he's got about as much chance of selling it as i have Jennifer Elison turning up tonight to do a lapdance with all the extras he hasnt replied

Please remember that the 660 he had a few years ago was at the wheels still and on a skyline thats a lot of power as i think they lose about 30% through the transmision. Also i dont think he's got much more on his car ie he's still running a T78 turbo but he's got a 6 speed seq box in it now Also the Sumo R34 in 04 was running about 680BHP at the wheels and that was the fastest road car at the pod Kirbz

and i like the fact that you can "easily" add another 100 bhp if you want!! no probs, easy, its only 100 bhp?? think i will go out tomorrow and add another 100 bhp to my pug 307 its easy lmao

bargain price!! But to be fair he is letting it go 10 grand cheaper on ebay!!
