The best place to get it ? Thanks

So guys, it is with a heavy heart I've parted ways with the old gal! After my health trouble, I had to make a tough decision and accept after a heart attack and operation on my wrist in july, that I wouldnt get back to tinkering with the motor anytime soon, and that it was time for me to sell up :( She didnt take long to sell, was bought by a trader in the end, but I'd hope she'll crop up on here at somepoint when she gets into her new owners hands! Just want to say a BIG THANKS to anyone and everyone who has given advice, helped problem solve and/or has come over and given me a hand with bits and bobs. This is a great car community, really supportive, goo…

Can someone list on here please list exactly what is needed to convert a tt rear end to an na rear end. I.E. Do i need the whole prop ect ect. and is it a major job? what im thinking is if also this gets rid of the hicas aswell? So im thinking of getting a rear end with hopefully all the bits i need then i can srtip it down i n the spring have a little hamarite jobby. and replace all the bushes ect before fitting. I dont do long journeys in my zed so a little loss in the higher gear range will be a little gain in the lower gears yes? Thanks now for all your wise wissdon on this.

as some of you have seen my thread about removing the overflow bottle and windscreen bootle from behind the intercooler well I have just got the over flow tank its very light just need a washer bottle now and a smaller battery here are a few pics for the z geeks out there

I know that a few people have swapped their TT rear subframe and diff for an NA one... but is it possible to simply swap the diff assembly itself from a TT into an NA subframe...?

possibly abit of potential here for someone http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=300zx&rt=nc&LH_Auction=1

Just had a thought, when working on zeds the bonnet angle can be a pain when working at the back of the engine, now for many, many years I have moved the bonnet back past the small little stops which leaves the bonnet leading away from the engine bay and gives a huge amount of extra access and light. What does surprise me is how many customers are amazed when they see them like that and so about time I made it public!! now lots of you may already know of course but hopefully helpful to those that do not. So lift the bonnet till it stops, unplug the water washer pipe, now rock the bonnet against the stops back and forward a few times and it will go past the stops…

Anyone who has worked or tried to work down the back of the zed engine knows that the space between the bulkead and the engine is at a premium. Unfortunately there are a lot water pipes down there and when they need attention it cam be a royal pain but even the metal water pipes from the engine to the heater matrix can loose the corrosion battle. The pictures give a little indication what is involved to remove the steel pipes, with the exception of the missing skin of the back of my hand but hey that goes with the territory! Could not take a picture when my hands were down there but believe me it was tight to get the drivers side pipe fixings as they turn back …

Had to take the zed out for a trip today, only to get a bloody nail in my tyre! Took it to the only place open.... Kwikfit! The one place I didn't ever want to go to. Turns out they were actually quite helpful (slightly anyway). Luckily they had only 1 tyre in stock the right size so took that even though I can hardly spare the cash at the moment. Thought that while I was there, I'd ask them to take a quick look over the car while it was up in the air. Only reason being because it was feeling a bit loose at the back end earlier. Turns out that the drivers side rear wheel has a bit of movement, that's as much help as I got though. In his actual words " don't know w…
