Sorry to bump this back to life but just found out the E-Manage Ultimate I want won't work on my UK spec TT. Does anyone know any more about this or where I can find out? Tried e-mailing Greddy and checked their webpage but doesn't seem to say what the problem is?! Apparently it's being worked on by them as the US spec cars are also non-compliant?!?!?!?!?! I'm only relaying what Paul Whiffin has told me and presumably it's what the Greddy supplier he uses has told him?! :giveup: Why is it that everyone including some magazines that will stay unnamed rave about the UK cars?! Ok bigger injectors, gearbox cooler, glass headlights, bigger brakes, bonnet scoop but no aftermarket parts seem to work with them!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and insurance is cheaper but then modified examples aren't that much less!!!!!! Rant over and any help or advice always welcome! Cheers, Pete

Hey Matt, Tried a PM back on 18th January which hasn't been received yet?!?!? No pressure intended just wanted to go on the list of new members awaiting a membership pack. Cheers, Pete

Hi all, I have tried a thread search iro the above and could only find a thread by SupraJames back in 2005 which no one posted to (except James himself!). Does anyone know what's involved in removing the airbag? and will this leave a warning light on the dashboard?! If so, can it be rectifed by connecting to something elsa with a permanent feed?? or can it be disconnected permanently?? I'm asking because I want to fit the gauge holder that fits in that space and because I have a 2 year old son who i'd prefer to sit beside me than in the back!! With the carseats they warn you not to fit the seats with airbags! On a sidenote, my ex's folks have a Pug 406 which has a keyhole that you can use to turn the airbag off if required, could there be a similar solution on the Supe?? All ideas/suggestions appreciated!! Cheers, Pete

Thanks for the welcome all and I hope to see some of you at the different meets this year! Was a great buy in my opinion and the humourous thing is I still haven't seen the car in the flesh so to speak!!! Just the pics that were posted! It was the UK car status and the spec list that did all the talking for me and I was happy to buy without even hearing the engine start up!! I can tell this was the bargain of the year and I'm glad I pushed the extra bit to find the cash! Thanks again to all and I look forward to receiving your call Rob once we're good to go! Cheers, Pete

Like the Avatar??? No pending the clearance of the final cheque sometime towards the end of the week I will be the lucky new owner!! To say i'm well chuffed would be a major understatement! I'll hopefully catch you all at one or other show this year (normally attend the Japshows at SantaPod with SteveL). Look forward to meeting you all soon and a major thumbs up to Robert for selling me his gorgeous Supe!! I hope all works out for you Rob and that one day your back behind the wheel of another top notch motor!! Cheers, Pete

Will reiterate what I said to start with great info all and really helpful! This forum is still the best for tech info and help!! If I wasn't already part of the Skyline Owners Club I can guarantee that without a username like 'BuxomBetty' I'd get no responses at all!!! Thanks again and hope to speak to you all again soon and maybe see some of you at the Japshow in 2006?? Does the camber sands runs still take place or is that a thing of the past now?? Pete

Cheers for that Ro m8. (was getting a bit worried!!! 30 odd views and no messages?!?!) The hi bit was more the reason for the thread as there doesn't appear to be a newbie area?!?!? Thanks again for that and will search the FAQ's for more info on the UK/Jap Spec divide! Pete

Hey all, Been a VERY long time since I was on this forum! So long I couldn't remember or find my login details so a new ID for me!! I went to one of the Camber Sands runs a few years back now when Justin Fodden was on the scene! oh and JIC was the place to buy Supes from!! My partner at the time drove a Silver Veilside kitted twin turbo which suprised a few people when I had to confess it was hers!! I know a couple of the people on here namely Paul Whiffin and a chap called Steve Linton who are both top blokes! I've moved up from an MR2 G-Ltd to a couple of 300ZX TT's to my current R33 GTS-25T and am now after my dream car namely a Twin-Turbo Supe!! (Just waiting on bonuses which should be around Feb!). Enough with the intro's - Does anyone know if there are any differences when buying tuning parts for a UK spec car from say Japan or the US? I know that the UK cars have some uprated parts as standard over the J-Spec namely bigger brakes, glass headlights, bigger oil cooler and metal blades in the tubbies but are the engines identical?? (both badged as 2JZ-GTE as far as I can tell!!). Hopefully in a couple of months I'll be posting a lot more and from memory this was by far the best forum I've been part of!! Cheers to all and a Happy Christmas and a fab New Year to you all! Pete
