whereabouts you been today then? not the dreaded stationary M62?

do you mind me asking what people's real names are? I find it a bit confusing as to who's who. I'm Nicola by the way - Nic to my friends.

ignore that, just saw the last bit........is it just seats or other bits as well?

that looks fab! Do you mind me asking how much it cost?

no leather Wonder how easy it is to have your seats trimmed?

this is more congratulations than you get when you've had a baby! And it's FAR more exciting!

You're assuming a higher level of knowledge than I deserve. Explanations needed. I thought of another basic one though - I need to change the front number plate to a UK style one is that easy? dead easy , just take Jap one of and put a UK one on don't i need to change the bracket or something?

If I throw some paint stripper on it to make it GM then?

1. stubby 2. get rid of horrible fairlady badge (think it's got that, can't tell) 3.

thanks for the advice - yes I'll get a dealer service as well. Imobiliser is something else that will be done in that price - i forgot about that. I take all your comments on board (even Sarnie's) and it's the risk I'm taking due to the low budget. I've had access to the jap auction listings for the past couple of weeks and the mileage is pretty good on a lot of them. Jurgen at JM-imports has a fantastic reputation which is what I'm relying on. Any ideas for birthday presents yet then?

The importer will have it serviced before i get it but that won't be a dealer service obviously.

It was the 5 grading as well - but you're right. I will.

I shouldn't ask but do you think it's a good buy?

that was my next question - I've got a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks so what should I put on my list? Wheels are an obvious one but they will have to wait a while.

I don't feel so fraudulent on here now. I'm really nervous about all the sorting out I have to do now though. I need to put the CTR on market asap but if it sells quick i won't have a car and if it doesn't sell that will be worse! Need to get it gone by June as loan payments kick in 2nd week in June - so I will probably need to get a reliable old banger - Oh god I don't know........my heads a shed now.

includes everything - whatever needs doing.

just not sure about that colour, especially living in tractor country! Oh and I forgot to say - it cost me £15,100 and that is the drive away cost to me - SVA, fog light putting into the cluster, radio expander, registering, MOT, Tax, Valet etc etc. I won't have to pay a penny more - unless I want the undersealing doing. Never noticed mudflaps - is that good or bad?

the guy that inspected it beforehand said it was immaculate like new. They will send me some more photos soon. Now you can all tell me about the little things I need to organise before it comes - minor changes etc.

And how freaky is it that it happens at EXACTLY the same time as I bought the car - it was obviously meant to be!

honest I work hard really! I'm worth every penny.

well people - I got one! just had a call from Jurgen at JM-Imports to say I was successful at auction last night so now i've got a long wait for my Z to get here which will be approx end of May - boo! But gives me time to prepare and sell the CTR. so the details: Yes its rusty poo colour - my favourite lip spoiler (which is not standard on JDM) 2003 Version S (brembos' etc) 9k kilometeres (approx 5k miles)!!!!! Grade 5 mint condition I was trying for an ST but every night I looked, out of approx 50 cars only half a dozen were ST's and usually not in the right colour (unless you want Pearl). So out of impatience I decided to go for this one due to the condition and the ultra low mileage. I am SO excited so please NO horror stories - if the ship sinks I'll deal with it when it hapens! - be pleased for me eh?

not to mention I work in a government job so you're paying my salary any way!

and this is only one of the forums I go on..............

that's a bit embarrassing really! Not to mention it doesn't say much about how much work is piling up around my desk.............
