Not many 350's down my way with decent mileage etc, it is a hard decision but I'd like to have the experience

Hi, Does anyone have a pre 2006, 350z manual for sale or a na Supra Manual, want them to be pretty stock so budget is 3-6k. I am based in the South East Thanks Claire

Thanks I'll give that a wirl

Hi all, I am having problems with the dreaded "G" word! Gear box on my car. I have an NA Auto 95 plate Supra (import), which generally is in really good condition mechanically. However, for past month or so it has been very slow in changing up gears. It revs high and eventually changes up, the gear box oil is clear and at the right level and all I can think of doing is having someone do the transmissions for me. My dads a mechanic and agrees that its changing slow, but has said its not making any noises or anything else concerning! Obviously with it being a gear box I am concerned but myself only a amateur when it comes to mechanics I am unsure, my dads a mechanic but hasn't worked on many Supra's so any advice from people that have had this problem on their Supra's and what they did would be appreciated. If not, up the transmissions garage she goes.....

Just want to have a little taster at the moment, if I am serious I'll go full hog with tuition etc I am down south so would probably do tuition at Brands

I am fortunate that I have a mechanic for a dad who can help mod, repair advise etc, also gets trade prices on parts. I fully understand its not cheap as I come from a racing background, things have changed allot since my family raced though! I just wanted to test the waters really so didn't want to spend a fortune, If I enjoy it and am serious I'd then go for the ARDS test, get a car etc etc. The BHP Show is a cheap track day and quite fun, I've been a passenger but never a driver and you do get normal people that just put their every day car on the track - - - Updated - - - Also I am not planning on starting off in a GTR, as tempting as it is!! lol

Have you had to gut it interior wise? Supra is a heavy car. What kind of tyres would you get for the Supra? My friend has just done a NA-T conversion on his daily and bought some Pirelli tyres for it, not sure they are needed for the roads in this country, but for track maybe?

The GTR is gorgeous! Thats my only worry with a MX5 that its slow, I don't like slow hehe! How much is a super charger set up on one of them?

Wish I could afford a GTR lol! She the one with the pink GTR? Wish I could afford it!

For those of you that have taken the MSV ARDS test, how did you find it? Did you do instructor days first?

Cool video! How do you find the corners and sticking to the racing line in the Supra? Mines an NA Auto and can be abit slugish, need a manual lol! Good luck for the race, hope you take home a trophy!

Does your gf do many races Graham? How does she find it, would be great to hear how another lady driver gets on.

Lol I saw Jap Fest and won't be taking that on anytime soon. Just trying to use an example of an event where you can book track time. Just wanted some days to give it a try, literally can't do any week days so going to struggle, plus I enjoy going to the events, so don't wan't to miss out. Was hoping to hear other peoples experiences of places so I could line some track days up for next year. If I enjoy it then I'll go do my ARDS test so I am trained properly

Literally can't do during the week as go to university and they don't let you have the time off I am local to Brands, they are quite strict though, not that I'd not obey the rules lol! I don't mind travelling around, thats part of the experience I feel. Be really interesting to hear from people around the country. Went to Castle Coombe this year for jap fest, quite a few spinners on that track lol! Looked so much fun though!

Its more the effort I am putting in to building the Supra, I am trying to do everything myself so allot of love is going into the car, if I crash it or someone scrapes me then that's what I'd be worried about. Owning a Supra I know about £ signs hehe Lol I am hoping I enjoy it, my dad used to race motor cross so I've always wanted to try racing of some sorts Do you race?
