Ah... I didnt listen to the file earlier... CV joint I reckon. Or the diffs on its way out.

LOL! Bloody High Res pics! ;) I have never been tempted myself.... Even less so now LOL! :D

Bottom balljoint, top mount/bearing, rack. They'd be my thoughts.....

Err. I think youre all missing the point! The tilters have been around for YEARS! Theyre designed for Japan (mostly) where they have front facing cameras (remember CLarkson driving the GTR and the Bill Oddie Mask?) :D As you speed up, the plate tilts by 90 degress, so you cant actually see it. Ergo, they cant tell the Reg, you dont get a ticket! :) Stewie has kinda got the idea tho...

Its not a stupid question. For example, ALL the Skyline brakes and 200sx brakes are interchangeable, as are the seats if you fix one bracket.

im in suffolk mat where abouts are you in essex and do i know you from the SXOC ???? Merlin Yes mate, you probably know me from SXOC! I remember a Merlin :D (vaguely - name rings a few bells!) Drop me a PM :) thought so ! did you have the sill80 with an rb in it ? BLIMEY! Youre proper old school! :o Yeh thats me. THen I had the 'Refresher' S14 and then the S15 which went last week :) Maybe I should put some pics up of the old jallopies.... U had an S15 which went last week I have an Altezza....BUT.... i want an S15.... Get it back :winky: lol LOL. Ive been into S bodies for ten years mate. Time for a change. Been there, done everything. S13 Sileighty (with RB), S14 drifter and S15 - as well as PS13s and S14 breakers along the way...

Im in COlchester Mate. Merlins gonna take me out over the next few days or so. Than I can decide if I actually like them! :D

Errrrrrrrr, anything Lexus/Aristo Etc

Im glad I looked at that before I tried attempting a spring swap! What a ballache compared to my old Nissan 200sx!!!!! :o

What about seats and seat rails? Are they interchangeable? Brakes?

OK thanks for that, :)

LOL! Nice car then for a young'un!

Thats better! A PLan just quoted me £180 a year less than the S15 :)

Ahhhhhhhh, its so good to know theyre so well made I need not worry about anything.....

Blimey? Are you like 12? :D Or is 'knocking down lil old ladies' listed as one of your hobbies on Facebook? PMSL :D

Yeh Ill have to. Out of 104 companies on GoCompare, only 4 will quote online! LOL! :D

Not as yet mate no. Im with A Plan on the S15 (still got the policy going for precisely this reason) I was hoping some of the mainstream insurance co's might do it. But a lot of them wont insure imports

Anyone got any tips? Who seems to be the cheapest? Im just looking at quotes now and (apart from the fact half the onlineones wont take an Altezza as they dont do imports) it seems bloody expensive! More so thatn the 350bhp Silvia I just sold! LOL!:D

Does to me! One of the most sensitive bits on the car and its exposed to all sorts of $hit and brake dust / old disc chippings etc.... Give the sensors a good sprayof Brake Cleaner. That might help.

Well, I wouldnt look twice for a Lexus as theyre just way too slow (and although the 300s are more akin powerwise to the Altezza - I want a manual!) So Im looking at al Altezza RS200 as my next car. Its gonna feel slow compared to my 350bhp Silvia, but I want ONE car for all seasons and I think the Altezza might be it. We'll see. Going for a spin in one next week :)

Disconnect Battery, wait 5 mins, reconnect adn then drive at over 10 mph for a bit. That should do it. Got the bloody ABS lights come up on the Laguna the other day :( Typical! MOT next week!

WHeel colour is quite important! Dark colours make the wheel look smaller remember. And white makes 17s look like 18s! :D

Word of advice. It sounds like youre buying from a dealer and its should be OK. However, if youre buying private, bear this in mind that happened to me on SUnday... Here's a copy of a mail I ended up selling Trading Standards... Use the VOSA site if you can. Could save your *****! :)

Thanks Dave, thats a comprehensive reply! So I think if I import, it might have to be a 1999. Now to find one reasonably priced! Ive talked to a couple of dealers and I think theyre not bull****ting too much when they say that theyre not making so much money on them now... Saying that the forecourt prices have probably gone up to compensate the cheeky ba$tards! :D Thanks again. ANyone else?

LOL, I dont miss it! The S14 yeah, but not the S15. I never got attached to it tbh!
