Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the Essex area that can work on the engine and gearbox of a 300zx? Doesn't have to be a real 'garage', someone operating from home is fine. I live in Chelmsford and have used SE Nissan (or SE NissTek or whatever they call themselves these days) and they were worse than useless. The Nissan garage in Chelmsford (Glyn Hopkin) are very helpful but have politely refused to work on the engine or gearbox, Many thanks Damien.

Ive been looking into this with a load of "vacuum deposition" chroming companies, there are a few that are quite interested ive found but all have said they would need to see one to see how hard it would be to do it and cost accordingly...

Question is..has anyone got an old sh*tty one lying about that could be sent to one of these companies for their quote? Theres one/two for sale on here but i was hoping for an old one in case they damage it. (Im not trying to get freebie light inserts honest!) I may be off th…

Time for a new set of rears and was just wondering what was the widest I could go. Cheers Jon

Normally my KNK value sits at zero, but after a long drive (well, about 45 mins) it starts to creep upward after about 30 mins. When idling at the lights, it has gone as high as 35, but when i apply some throttle either in neutral or in gear it drops down again to mid 10's. What does this mean and do I need to be worried about this? Cheers.

Hello everyone, I'm rebuilding my engine at this moment. I'm using Greddy 89mm forged pistons and Eagle H-beam forged rods. Several people told me that I should use a bit more clearance on all the bearing(crankshaft, rods, pistonpin) because of the high powerlevel(600-650hp). Does this sound familiar with you guys or is it complete nonsense and should use the standard clearances as prescribed in the manual?? Thanks in advance, -Jerome(the Netherlands)
