The best 'Happy Birthday' thread ever...!

I think you are right Colin, we should just ditch it...

The knife at the top looks more like a pen to me...

Voted!

Could buy an RS pedal - it has a lip on the edge to make throttle blipping easier?

Awwww with terrible jokes like that you should tread very carefully..... Happy birthday Dan Huhhh, the same tyred old jokes eh ...

I guess the problem with cash is that it doesn't guarantee authenticity. You would definitely have to go to a bank and have it all checked. The guy that bought my Zed turned up with cash, we had to walk down to the bank, get it all checked and paid in, wander back - took an hour in total. Also you would have to do it during bank opening hours, so buying on a Sunday, some Saturdays or after work is not an option. Scary that you can just login on your phone and pay...but its the way things are going!

Happy birthday mate, sure you will be pumped up and any celebrations wont be a let down... Wheres the door

I bought my Zed in cash, went to the bank with the seller. Was nervous as hell as I was in his town, with him, on my own, drawing out a load of cash. Much prefer the internet way of buying now, it really makes things much less stressful!

Not sure Ostego, I have paid out over £5k before first time over the net, the same as the guy that bought the VX off me at the weekend, Barclays let him pay out over £5k first time payment as well. It could be something to do with individual limits, if they exist? Not sure. But you can definitely pay a first time payment over £5k based on my experience.

No it isnt, I paid out a fair bit over £5k for my VX, done in minutes, first time payment authorised over the phone. Maybe your limit is lower?

Not sure about Zeds, but on the VX forum the cost of ITBs is more than a supercharger conversion, which gives you less than half the gains. It sounds good, looks good, but if you want performance, its not an easy or simple path.

With Lloyds, you can pay out to a first time person within minutes, no notice required. They ring your mobile as the payment goes through to authorise it. When Justin paid via Barclays, he popped my details in and had some calculator thing with codes on, again first time payment, went through in minutes no problem. When I sold the Zed, guy turned up with the money in £20 notes, I had to go to a bank to check it.

I have used bank transfer for last two exchanges. Took my mac to someones house, logged onto their internet, transfered the money out of my lloyds account on a sunday afternoon, went through and cleared in his account in about 2 minutes. Sold the VX last weekend, same thing, guy transferred from Barclays to my Lloyds account, 2 minutes. Easiest way really.

...must...not....mod

Its really hard to find an R33/34 which hasnt got a mod list as long as your arm - would prefer to get something a bit stock, but then you are wandering into first import territory.

G35s do tick all boxes, I would be at pains though to have to pay for a remap again, the spacer again, etc etc. I am swerving quite strongly back to the Celica now!

Yeah I saw your name then your avatar! I am tempted, the auto seems to have a manual over-ride so you can at least blip up and down? If I did get one I wouldn't be the outcast at each Zed meet ongoing I guess I did spend a lot of money and time working on my previous Zed, would feel like I have to do it all again if I got one of these...

...who we think would be good and fit the bill.

Bit too chavvy, I am old (38)

Most people that weld end up replacing within a year from what I have seen, if you dont have the cash handy, get it welded and save up for a decent aftermarket unit. Don't by the 'infinity' branded tat off ebay for 200 quid or whatever, if you want a budget unit spend the extra to get a scorpion or cobra back box.

What was the drive like from Sydney? I flew from Sydney to Melbourne and looking down it looked very sparse! Were you belting along open roads

Saw some clown say how four other cars are much better than the Zed, just going to play with him now...

I never thought I would let anyone near my car when cleaning except me, look what happened!

Well done
