Red G plate in IKEA car park Wedensbury. AAAAARGH!!! Why did I have to go to that HELL HOLE. Well, at least we got rid of the darling little bugger for a few hours. Only to be molested by other people's kids in that PLACE. Then a (grubby) red with twin ss exhaust on the Warwick road (A41) just before Chadwick End. I was trying to avoid mowing down a cyclist so didn't have time to flash, so if a grubby red SWB went past it you it was me!!

Was wondering about this potential mod???? Would there be any way of venting the exit air on the Intercoolers, and then directing that vented air to cool the brake calipers? Is there room to have some pipework to achieve this? Killing two birds with one stone?

After putting the turbos on my convertible :D :D :D I would have to say my favourite mod is my short shifter gearstick, it cost £25 to do and it really makes the car much nicer to drive! After that it is R33 brakes, cost a lot more money but I feel like I can drive the car more confidently now?

Got my induction fitted and it really does make a difference! I didn't think I'd be able to feel it but I can. It feels much more responsive. When I go onto the throttle really lightly it seems to 'want' to go more. The most difference seems to be low down but I havn't really tested it out revving very hard. There definatly is a difference in response. Very pleased :D Now, what's next......

I have several options open to me now :/ help! advice? I can get my hands on a 56k miler for £900 including vat & delivery or a 40k miler for £850+ vat including delivery or a '90 complete car with a b0rked auto box on 60k miles (drives) with full leather interior (would be easy enough to fit my auto box on it and just break the rest of mine) for £2000 in your best opinions, what do you think I should do? :confused:

Just received my new 18" alloys and tried to test fit one, but the stock wheel nuts are too big to fit in the holes on the alloys. Where can I get slimmer nuts from???

I'm looking at haveing the limiter removed. To do the job properly, I'm having the ECU chipped. I'm also told to obtain UK clocks. So what have I got at the moment? The speedo that is fitted on mine goes upto 180 (with NO incriments after that) and is in mph! I've seen a pic of the JapSpec having kph and upto 190. So do I have a UK clock fitted already or what could it be? Thanks.

Can anyone help me with a few tips for fitting the Indelglo dials (Vijay GB) that have been recently purchased?. Cheers.

anyone know how heavy the standard spec uk's are with tyres Rear will probably be heavier than front due to width. AndyZ has just been most helpful and told me to send with Royal Mail (Andy - just checked and its still 30KG mate :) ) Im hoping one rear and one front will be under 30kg. Cheers

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a 300ZX in the very near future. I wanted a manual one as am into driving hard and trackdays, but have been told by a few people that manuals eat gearboxes. Is this true? Having test driven an auto yesterday I'm sufficiently impressed with the speed but felt it was lacking in driver involvement, although this was somewhat made up for as the car had Tein suspension and as such blinding handling. My other question is to do with uprating the brakes, as I was not impressed with the feel or stopping power of the standard equipment. Any recomendations would be appreciated! Thanks for your help on these matters and I look forward to y…
