  8. Hay all. Ok I went to my local number plate maker getting them to show me what my personalised plate will look like. I mentioned about the characters on the front plate for imports can be 64mm in height. Now the guy there does amazing jobs with plates and all graphics! But he disagreed and said it has to have the characters at 79mm in height. Jurgan told me they can be smaller and I read on some websites that the characters can be 64mm in height at the front. So I e-mailed the DVLA with the question and yes they can be 64mm in height. I have pasted the reply I got for any of you that get told that a Jap imported car number plate has to have the characters 79mm in height by there local number plate maker. The Reply: Dear Mr Malcolm Thank you for your email received on 11/12/09. Your email reference number is 186847. The Road Vehicles ( Display of Registration Marks) (Amendment) regulations 2002 SI no. 2687 came into force in November 2002. These amendment regulations introduce a new regulation 14A, making special provision in relation to the size and spacing of characters in the registration number of some imported vehicles. These regulations also include the display of motorcycle sizes number plates on imported vehicles. The provision only applies to vehicles imported into the UK which do not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval, and are so constructed, that the area available for the fixing of the registration plate precludes the display on the plate of a registration number in conformity with the requirements of regulation 14. Also contained is an amendment to regulation 3, to prohibit the use of a number plate on which the background is patterned or textured, or gives that appearance. Where a vehicle has been allocated a UK registration number, the number plate must comply with the specification and standards laid out in the Road Vehicles ( Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001, as amended. Certain imported vehicles may be permitted to display numberplates with smaller characters if the vehicle does not have European Community Vehicle Type Approval and the vehicle's construction/design cannot accommodate standard size numberplates. The dimensions for the smaller sized plate are: • each character in the registration number must be 64mm high the width of each character of the number, other than the letter 'I' and the figure '1' must be 44mm • the width of every part of the stroke forming a character in a number must be 10mm the spacing between any two characters within a group must be 10mm • the vertical spacing between groups of characters must be 5mm • the width of a margin between the number and the top and lateral sides of the numberplate must be not less than 5mm • the space between the bottom of the number/character and the bottom of the plate must not be less than 13mm, but within that space, the space between the bottom of the number and the top of the name and postcode of the person the plate was supplied must not be less than 5mm.

  10. the JZA80 engines are ment to be one of the great top engines that are turbo'd!
  11. Yer i was suprised how good it is!
  12. What BHP gains would there be with sumin like 256/264 range cams on a BPU supra?
  13. Hi all. Well I had a spare few mins today to try this True Twin Conversion out. Only took a few mins to do! I took the supra out and I have to say I didn’t like it at all! I didn’t notice a massive difference in the power and at low RPM the car seemed to have very little power without that turbo! Only plus side is at low end my exhaust sounds extremely deep and tbh I liked it however I do prefer the sound of the turbo spool low end! So I changed it back to using the sequential system and I much prefer the way the TT supra was designed. If you want to try it your self-coz you’ve heard about it and your curios here’s the link: http://www.internetwork.org.uk/mechanical/ttc/ttc.htm Thanks for reading Paul
  14. Search the forum for BPU that will tell you how to make it better
  15. The GTR dont look to bad.....but im just not sure!
  16. you souldn't use Autosol as its contains an abrasive! and can leave it sctratched as i found out when i had my ford! There is an Autosol Gel that Rays the Roof says is ok, but the chrome company i used for my ford said to use AutoGlym super resine polish as thats what they use is the best! And its brillient! I also use meguiars all metalpolish on my rims and boost pipes but i wouldnt use that in chrome! Gotta be careful when defining "polished ally" and "chrome" Polished alloy you can use most metal polishes but chrome will mark VERY easy! Paul
  17. Alot of it is paying for the name ..... As far as i know there great FMIC but not worth the thousansds they are. Im using a £300 one, it looks great and does the job well!
  18. hi mate, im a manager in a bike shop. The chances are that the back wheel buckled becasue some of the spokes lost tension, he's then rode off, bumped up and down cerbs and now bent the wheel and made the cycle unrideable! I see this alot at work! The guy is clearly a douche and due to not repairing the back weel he has damaged it and u cant accept a refund as the bike is coming back in a worse state! Sadly new new wheels arnt pennies! Itsa 24 speed so its an 8 speed cog at the back, and being a Schwinn the will use a casset sytem not a block type system! Casset wheels, 8 speed, in black there about £40 Dont refund, a hes made the bike worse! And as far as your conserned he rode off with it fine, and now its not! Thats sumin thats not your fault mate! Hope iv helped, if u need any cycle advise just PM mate! Paul
