I have been offered a quad light rear panel without the lights. They suggested I could get the lights from a Fiat breaker or similar. Is this correct and how easy would it be to fit?

Hi, does anyone have the part number for the 99-spec fill in panel (with brake light) for the 300z? See http://www.zcentre.co.uk/spoilers/zc007ab.htm for pictures. I got in touch with Luke at Zcentre who gave me a part number but unfortunately it turned out to be the wrong part. I was going to buy one of these from Luke but it would have meant driving all the way to Nottingham as he won't post due to 33% of them getting damaged in transit in the past! (They are very fragile) Cheers, Shaun

Anybody done this? How did you do it? Cheers Marcus

hi, just seen an upgrade for the ECU on ebay which gives extra 60bhp, and delimits. for 75 quid it seems good value but i'm wondering have any of you guys fitted this type of thing. the guy says he's a zx owner himself so quite possibly a member. If anyone has had this done i'd be interested in the long term effects it might have on the engine and gearbox, ...............sounds very tempting..................funny, i started with an n/a which was fast enough for me, but since i've got this tt the bloody thing keeps talking to me ("go on, make me even faster") :dance: sorr…
