Hi All, I've got some Iridium plugs to install, can anyone confirm that I have the correct plug for a '90 TT Auto before I go and melt anything please?? The plugs I have are BKR6EIX-11 (3764). Also, does anyone know what the correct gap should be on these plugs with upgraded intake, boost and ECU?? Cheers! RobH

This may seem a stupid question (nothing new for me) but where do you store the roof panels when they are off? I know with the corvette and some other T-tops that they are secured behind the seats. Can you get storage bags for them and if so, where from?

J, did you manage to view the zipped up copy of the SetiQuest stuff that I emailed to you a little while ago?. T

I would like to know the difference in performance between twin turbo and non turbo, and any other information to help me decide which one to buy. Can anyone help me please!

Does any one out there know of any genuine car mats for 300zx. The things have not been available from UK Nissan Dealers for yonks, and I see no other importers bringing them in. They are available from The States as a left hand floorpan ( no good for us boys ). I dont really want after market unless they are spot on replicas. The car was available till late '99 - 2000 so the mats must be available in Jap still. Any thoughts guys? May be we could do a serious group buy and bring in a box full?

Hi, Don't know what to call it but, I am after the top black rubber cover for the parking sensors located in the front bumper! All the best, Mark

I understand from what I've read that the headlights are less than brillinat (excude the pun) but one of my lights could be used for plane spotting, the other illuminates anout 6 inches infront the front bumper!. Main beam is similarly messed up. Is this an easy DIY fix (a million years ago I used to do this adjustment against the garage door) and if so where are the adjustment screws? Thanks Chris ------------------

A: The pick up truck with the gun rack and the bumper sticker saying, "Guns don't kill people. I do." Q: What are the important safety tips to remember when backing your car? A: Always …
