Default Been Lurking for a while - Time to say Hello!

Thought I'd say hello from the UK.

Nice forum you have here, some handy guides!

Owned a Fairlady Z (JDM import) for about a year and a half now and still loving it like the first day I drove one!

Main mods so far:
K&W variant 3 coilovers
Volk GTS 19" (were polished but the salty UK roads eat them)
Custom Big Brake kit (front only)
Nismo ECU
HKS SLD de-restrictor
Plenum Spacer
Blitz filter
High Flow Cats
Lots of Varis CF
lots of other things

Anyway, pic my car (probably not everyones cup of tea ) from Silverstone Race rack

I really like the way your car looks, particularly the Varis front lip. If you ever decide to sell, PM me.

Hey Bronzee! Thought I'd venture over to the big site and read up on some turbo goodness. (not that I could afford to do it to mine as insurance in the UK is ridiculous!)

Ey up Mark! I havent had a quote for the TTs yet mate. The insurance on my N/A Zed is £2700 for 10 months at the min so I don't think its even worth thinking about yet.

I assume the idea has crossed your mind once or twice?

Oh, I didn't realize this was bigphil's car (just looked in my DB Z folder on my laptop to confirm). I thought his car looked pretty nice back when he used to post here. It looks like you got new wheels and added some CF parts to it since you acquired the Z.

DB Z folder? Ive done a few things to it but most of the more expensive mods were done by Phil to be honest. Thats quite an old photo I posted but one of my favourites. Out of curiosity, do you know what phils username was?
