General Discussions - 300ZX Related

I have a 1993 uk 300zx Twin Turbo with a sick engine. Has anyone had a decent rebuild done in the UK at an affordable price? It looks as though my problem is valve related and I'm being quoted £1400 labour + parts for a top end rebuild, is this reaonable? If a bottom end problem is subsequently diagnosed in addition then it will probably be more economical to consider fitting a donor engine, so any information on availability and price of quality reconditioned units this country would also be much appreciated. Basically any feedback would be greatfully received.

Does anyone know how much differance an ECU upgrade ( e.g JWT ecu ) would make to the 0 - 60 dash time on a Zed over stock? Has anyone put this to the test and timed their car?. Which ECU upgrade would you guys rate as the best / worst ( time for a few arguements!! )? seez ya!

I have been in touch with a guy in the States, who sells the clear lenses required to perform the conversion to clear tails. To see what's involved go to this url: http://www.z32.org/html/cleartails.shtml He is willing to charge $525.00 for 10 pairs (I think this includes postage - which will take 7-10 days). That works out at around £365.00. If I add the currency transfer and the postage for each set in the UK, I reckon each set would cost about £42-46. If I can get 10 names, or maybe more, and then 10 definates (i.e. cheques!). I will contact him and buy. Post if your interested and I will email you back with my address and telephone number,etc.…
